Marsha Ambrosius Dishes On Floetry Drama, Motherhood & Baby-Making Music

[@HonduranTendaroni]

I will forever LOVE the song she wrote for Michael Jackson "Butterflies"

[@Londonzoo01]

Stephanie Avila 100%. One of the best songs ever. And MJ did a great job. The acapella version is my favourite :)

[@ZzDippedInButter]

Stephanie Avila didn't know she wrote that for him but I can definitely hear her singing it

[@chanelbell6941]

Stephanie Avila I didn’t know she wrote that😭

[@chanelbell6941]

i.t explains the neo soul sound

[@godzshadow9001]

Stephanie Avila Wow....say word!! Didn't know.....dope song

[@NeffyAnderson]

Love her transparency!

[@leauxpass7604]

i like her accent

[@IceHarvest929]

Yeah but what I didn't like was the "guys will be guys" it's okay for guys to say so n so but then bash the woman for doing the same. Guys will be guys n continue to do so because their behavior is excused. Tolerated.

[@channellwoods]

Neffy Anderson it was green lighted.

[@TheRetroWoman80]

I appreciate anybody who evolves into this. I am evolving into this more and more everyday. It takes a long while for many of us to get to this point of absolute comfort with giving and receiving plain honest truth. And everyone doesn't exude their transparency in the same fashion. Diversity, ya know? But overall, when this clarity, openness and beautifully unfiltered way fully comes to fruition, it's awesome to observe/experience in others...and in ourselves.

[@lolaellis16]

I love her realness

[@garywilson6286]

You gotta love how real she is always

[@josegreen3639]

and how real c tha god was when c tha god was "how you drink milk from a cow but not your wife" ........you could tell hes been watching too many veganhustletv youtube videos LMAO

[@justlove7736]

Yeah real fake. Because Marsha NEVER reached to Natalie. It was Natalie who reached out to Marsha many many times. There is so much proof of that but people are willing to believe Marsha simply because she went on a high-profile radio show. This isn't the first time Marsha has lied about Natalie and the truth came out against Marsha

[@tribegoldie4282]

True that! She's from TOXTETH.. Thats the Only way we know how..

[@espotts1]

She seems sneaky and vindictive to me. Why air out all her business. After you just complained about her doing you that way. Females stay with some drama. And she is the epitome of why females doesn't get along. How you gonna say it's ok for the men to say something, but get mad when she says the same thing. Makes for great interview for us, but I wouldn't trust her. She got loose lips, and apparently loose something else!!

[@gavery3262]

she should do a album with Jill Scott

[@blshirelle2914]

g avery great look! especially since flowetry was a huge part of the Philly soul movement back in the day

[@gavery3262]

Daley & Marsha Alone Together is one my favorite songs. Sound it could've been Floetry song

[@Shelli1285]

Ibeeballin GT 54 yes!!! Love that song. Like her voice best in duets - no shade though.

[@myronsmith2114]

Her vocals on MJs Butterflies was legendary

[@alexgipson5363]

Myron Smith well yeah she wrote the song so naturally

[@jfraz1992]

Philly definitely had one of the biggest neo soul waves 🌊🔥🔥🔥

[@moneyhouseblessin]

Philly had the Only real wave

[@jfraz1992]

agreed

[@kudabeen]

Can't forget the sound and movement out of Atlanta, Chicago and west coast as well...mainly Atlanta tho...Philly did have the belt tho...but didn't build industry and studios to bring the money here and all those artist and clubs that had the culture were left to all but vanish.

[@alexanderinsubordinate1861]

Yeah, in and out of BS and pretentiousness

[@katriceshaw-charles249]

She’s been in the U.S. too long that’s why

[@Angela-bv9bl]

i sooooo appreciate when celebs do interviews and they keep it 100 instead of tap dancing around shit and trying to be soooo PC, or doing an interview and not answering questions about topics YOU KNOW folks really wanna hear about.

[@mikedabeast360]

Floetry was a dope female duo, that debuted in 2002. Marsha Ambrosius aka The Songstress. Natalie Stewart aka The Floacist. Their debut single "Floetic" was a great entry to R&B, with the Hip Hop twist. Then their 2nd single "Say Yes", being their biggest hit.... Their voices made a dude heart melt 😍 It's unfortunate Floetry didn't get back together, after their breakup. Marsha has done well for herself, throughout over a decade of features & solo projects. "Late Nights & Early Mornings" in 2011, was a great start for Marsha solo career. "Far Away" was a very sad song, but had a deep message to it. Her 2nd album must've been heavily bootlegged. "Friends & Lovers" didn't even hit the Billboard chart, with "Stronger" feat Dr. Dre in 2014. That's crazy!!! 😲 However, I love this woman's Liverpool accent & her personality. She doesn't take life too serious. Congrats Marsha being a mother to baby girl Nyla!!! Such a beautiful name 😊. She will give her more peace & happiness now.

[@shimeicareaves]

She wrote songs for big artist like Michael jackson etc

[@KniiOSoul]

@calaragazza Where she from then ?

[@mikedabeast360]

@calaragazza Thanks for the correction over 2 years later 😁

[@bypsw2031]

Left out Amanda diva

[@alexanderinsubordinate1861]

She doesn't even sound like a Liverpool accent. She may be from there but she sounds like from the states.

[@celestenicole3861]

Great ,honest interview. she's so likeable. I will always rock with her. love her music.

[@seanjenkins331]

I ADORE this woman. She's so real. She's the type of woman who can be comfortable around men and not be squeamish to male bravado. She's an amazing song writer and her vocals are second to no one

[@MaryBerryGray]

They performed at the Roxy, opened for the Roots. I worked at the hotel which had the night club inside. I was checking the bathroom and she and Amanda were getting ready in the restroom, fixing their makeup and such. They said, 'Hi' and were so genuine and down to earth. They and the Roots are my fave performers. I had to get permission to attend the show and I'm glad I did. Great show. :)

[@OPTIMYSTIK2013]

This woman's voice is phenomenal

[@Kristmaz808]

The fact that floetry won't be getting back together makes me sad...

[@kobykross6367]

🤦🏾‍♂️deepsigh

[@GreenEyez6667]

Floetry was Sooo Dope. I didn’t know they had Beef. Damn

[@mrbrownroyyal]

I didnt realize how down to earth she was/is! I dig her even more! "Its Getting Late" is MY JAM!

[@deborahhumphery6156]

I love Marsha Ambrosius, first and foremost congratulations having your new baby and proposa!!l The one thing I adored about Marsha she keeps it 100% real!!

[@AmariSali]

I'm trying to imagine Ron Isley singing "Say Yes" now 22:55

[@NDGOCHYLD]

Amari Sali he could do it.

[@OPTIMYSTIK2013]

Just throw in some "la la la la la la laaaaaaaaa" and "well well well" in the original song with a higher octave. That's how it would sound lol

[@Kymistry28]

OPTIMYSTIK YESSSS ain't nothing like Ron Isley with his signature well, we'll, well on it RT

[@oohbaby81]

+OPTIMYSTIK Lmaoo

[@AusarisTV]

Amari Sali he definitely would've taken the song to greater heights than what Floetry could have ever done but in my opinion, I think it's just one of those songs that can only be done perfectly by Floetry.

[@Boujimoo]

I've loved her since her Floetry days ❤️ she's so talented and captivating

[@maleciaalese]

Really enjoyed watching this interview and 1 of the reasons I like and appreciate Marsha so much is the fact that she has no filter and keeps it real. Definitely can't wait for this next album and I'm so happy that she's happy. Sometimes you just can't make things work but I'm glad to say that I've been able to see her in concert by herself and as Floetry. Charlamagne had me dying with the LAPhil name (referring to LA and Philly) and Eric Benet not wearing no shoes, too funny!

i think she can out sing all these r n b chicks

[@mikedabeast360]

Grind University Definitely most of today's R&B singers, which is a short list of great talent. She could out sing K. Michelle & Tamar Braxton. But Marsha ain't touching Queen Mary tho!!! 😁😁😁 She still has that angellic voice like a Monica 👼🎤🎶.

[@Aliasss]

mikedabeast360 HELL NO Marsha can NOT out sing Tamar Braxton. First of all, Tamar shouldn't even be put in a category with Kmichelle, Monica or Marsha vocally, no shade. Mary too! (even as the legend she is) Tamar is a 5 octave vocal Coloratura Soprano, so underrated. She can go as low as Toni, to as high as Mariah, stop it.

[@mikedabeast360]

Talisha C It's my opinion but u got a point there. Tamar has that ability to hit high & low notes. Very gifted voice!!!

[@lifestraight]

Wow is Tamar Braxton that gifted? I'm not asking sarcastically I just don't know of her music career. Would you all say she is more talented than her more famous sister Toni? And if so why is she not more commercially successful than some of the more popular singers in music?
