Different

[@LonerBecause]

Yea!

[@poloboy]

You are 100% correct. Even Timbaland's 1998 album "Life From Da Bassment" really reflected the range of his musical abilities and unique style. Devante may have been a harsh azz dude but this approach really proved to introduce the world to true talent

I loved when she spoke about singing background and doing harmony. People usually look at the background singers and think that they're beneath the lead singer. She's absolutely right when she says it makes the song come alive. I juste love her harmonies and the way her backgrounds sounds. It's heaven to my ears!!!

[@kenyettaready]

exactly. just ask Changing Faces. they backed Sybil (don't make me over) until R.Kelly put them in the spotlight.

[@initaammons4447]

True. Look at Lisa Fisher's been doing background for years and she can outsing most lead singers. But people forget about her.

[@verahoward9422]

I can relate to what she said. I can sing, but IT is Something about singing background Harmony that makes me feel so good!

[@verahoward9422]

@Great Scott I think about the background singers for Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder ( his bkgrd singers included Minnie Rippleton & Denise Williams) and Luther Vandross. Those background singers sounded like Angels.

[@shannonstewart4792]

You must have sang backup too. i have so much respect for backup singers. Looks so hard for them to hold back lol. I know they may want to go straight ham on the mic especially since most sing better than the artist. My little sister paid her way through college singing backup and session work. To my surprised it paid well. And when they did not pay her she got studio credit so i guess that was good too. Hope your weekend is going good. Stay well 78mammiie.

[@lolOloveOlol21]

@Jerome Griffin I meant mental health in the aspect of being on the verge of suicide because you don't have the means to provide for your child. To me skin bleaching is kind of mental health but more so of a self-esteem issue. Regardless, that's her body, like I said I just wish the best for her and her psyche because she mentioned suicidal thoughts more than once.

Whew, don’t nothing hit like old school Tweet era R&B ! 😩

[@UnreleasedUnderratedRnBgrooves]

"Oops (Oh My)" is still my jam all these years later. And I thank God Missy Elliott was there since day one to not only discover her, but helm her out of her suicide attempt. Love the magic these ladies brought on "Southern Hummingbird" (2002) & "It's Me Again" (2005). More to it, I'm pleased to find Missy did a demo for Tweet on "Call Me", learn something new everyday. Thank you BET for this

When I found out Oops was about masturbation I fell in love with it

I became a fan of tweet when she was in her group. You heard her soulfulness from the start. DeVante definitely knows talent for sure and I’m glad she was able to bloom into her own thing too. I’m hearing she, Rolita and Susan are doing an EP with DeVante. IM SOOOO READY TO HEAR THEM TOGETHER AGAIN.

Gosh she's so beautiful and haven't aged since " call me". Also Missy is an amazing person she is also beautiful inside and out.

[@travisrowe7697]

25:18 preach Tweet. She’s 100% right. Music has lost its individuality. Unoriginal, mass-produced “music” churned out, absorbed and thrown away. As fast as it comes, it goes. Someone needs to bring the soul back to the mainstream.

[@SickandTired95]

Your last sentence hits hard. Finally someone understands. The good music exists but not in the mainstream. Which is sad but at least it exists.

I'm so happy the stigma behind talking about thoughts of depression and suicide is starting to fade. These thoughts are real for many. Understanding how to redirect your thoughts and use techniques - especially, prayer/the word to renew your mind is key to keep living.
