Kind of Afraid To Listen. Nice Pic Though

NAA said...

I wonder if she's actually "into" the different music genres or is she just trying to make her own path because of her superstar sister..??

I think her "style" is contrived, but I do like her latest album though. It turned out better than I thought it would.

Wild Safari said...

Uuugh. Please leave Coldplay to Coldplay. Don't mess up their songs. Do you ma, do you.

In other news (cause I'm jonesing for an update) did y'all see that pic of En Vogue at the Trumpet Awards in Atlanta? They looked great!

she wasn't so bad

Love love love it! As a huge colplay fan (before kanye and jay- from their parachutes days *i just had to get that one in*) I think she captured the essence of the song in general, but 4 sure made it her own. A lil too much at 3:15 but she is Bey's sissy after all :-)

She didn't do a bad job at all. I am a huge Coldplay fan, and I can honestly say her reworking was pretty good. She did definitely make it her own, w/o too many theatrics...good for her.

Wow she suprised me on this one-nice!

She has to appear Rock or Pop as to not to mess with Beyonces' territory. I have to give it to the Knowles, they know business.

Wild Safari said...

Too bad she can't truly turn pop and give Rihanna a run for her money. Shouldn't that be part of the Knowles family World Domination Plan? Baby Daniel can join forces with Jaden Smith and finally make Wicked Wisdom sound like something besides feedback.

I hated it. I don't care for her vocals @ all. I also don't think she did the song justice. Performance, overall, bored me.

SOMEBODY KILL THIS RETARDED SINGING/DANCING BITCH. SHE'D GET BOOED AT THE APOLLO. SHE'S FUCKING WHACK.

she sucks. she will always be in beyonce shadow. she might as well give it up. they don't have kelly to walk over no more.

HardBlog said...

UGHHHH JESUS my poor ears.
Oooo she sounds bad in some areas. I agree, leave the song to Cold Play. I know they are friends with her sister but they should have never given her permission to sing this song.

I think Solange was trying to personalize it with her own sound, I don't think she did a bad job. I love the original Coldplay song much much better though. All of his instrumentals have this relaxing and peaceful quality to it. Overall, I think I like Solange, because she is everything that is not Beyonce. I appreciate Solange's music so much better. I think she's very earthy, genuine, and "not trying to be like everybody else". I'm a fan of anyone who is experimental, but not to the point to where it is FAKE. I think Solange is not afraid to be Solange. She could give a flying uckf about what everybody else thinks. I don't look at her as riding Beyonce's coat-tail, she is everything that she is not.

Why is her speech so lazy?

I can't stand to hear her or Beyonce speak.

UGH!!

i never realized what a truly bad singer this chick is until i watched this. i can't stand coldplay anyway, but her doing this is double torture.

@ V. Loren Cosign

I am a big Cold Play fan, I think she did a good job of making the song her own as well.

Cosign V. Loren & Nikki.
After realizing how bored and annoyed I am of beyonce, I really think lil sis is prettier. Her voice could use a little work, or maybe this just wasnt the best song for her voice, but overall, i like her. Especially her very first song. Forgot what it was, but i dug it.

Caribbean Goddess said...

I am a Coldplay fan. I have all of their cd's and I must say that she is not right for this song. She does not have the energy and performance skills like the lead singer in the group.

Look at the original and you see what I am talking about.

Anonymous said...

She jumbled up the words, you really couldn't make out what she was saying unless you knew the song already. It also wouldn't hurt if she took some vocal lessons. She always sounds out breath when she's singing.

I love Solange's album, but not feeling this Coldplay cover. No sir,I don't like it.

Anonymous said...

Another song taker...Atleast she acknowledged the artist which is more than I can say for her I don't want to be black sister.

DFY said...

I dont know much about Coldplay and dont care 2 know.But she did do a nice job.I dont think people give her the credit she deserves because Bey is her sister.

something about her I like. because she is trying 2 b her own person.Everybody else is comparing her 2 her sister and she just seems happy in her own skin,because they r 2 different.

U go Slonge I wish her the best because this is a Doggy Dog World..U have 2 get in where u fit in. when u do have a more talented sister.

Bee Gee said...

I don't buy it. Solange is only supposedly tryna "DO HER OWN THING" because she failed so miserably at tryna be her pop-star sista. Dat shit is not hard to see right through. She couldn't cover Coldplay if dem cats were singin' right alongside her ass. Please don't mistake this broad for an artist with her own brand, c'mon.

Rob said...

man did she butcher this. her low notes sound like groans, and her weird dancing trying to imitate Chris Martin's dancing in the original video is not working.

Anonymous said...

oh my god this was terrible. if she performed this at an american idol audition she'd get a big fat NO from Simon. ewww

Anonymous said...

i am ashamed to say but i like it maybe just because i love the song, just like i hated umbrella until i say a youtube clip of india arie doing her take on the song.

kimmikimkim said...

Well, shit. I'm not afraid to say I liked it. She has a nice voice. I do think however, like her sister, she can over-embellish a song.
Having said that, I think she's cool. I do believe I like her better than Beyonce, who I am sick of. She seems more real and shit.

Anonymous said...

Shouldn't she be singing her own songs? I guess since the album didn't sell, she said "Fu*ck it.."

Anonymous said...

Who told this botch she could sing! she sounds like she's singing from her nose! the gril not sing to save her life!the album was a mess! when will people relaize that this girl can't sing to save her life! her voice urks me real bad! sounds like she sings and talks! beyonce got the voice!

Why are there back up singers? I can't even hear them!

Anonymous said...

That was awful. Just because your sister and brother in law are friends with Chris Martin doesn't mean you can go and butcher his music. Please get a life and a vocal coach, chick.

As a Coldplay fan, I must ask the following question:

When will this non talented, donkey face girl sit her ass down somewhere?

DFY said...

It's really sad how people just down people 4 no reason..Now if a person could b real 4 1 moment.they would b honest and say that girl didnt do that bad.U want her 2 sound like dudes because thats who made the song,She made it her own.and I dont even get down with cold play.maybe thats why she sounds ok 2 me..but if u didnt know the group maybe she would sound ok 2 u 2.but 4 me I had nothing 2 compare her 2, and it was fine 2 me..

DFY said...

Bee Gee I dont think she never tryed 2 be her sister..And I dont think she failed miserably she never had a chance,do 2 cerdits like u...And if her father would take the time with her as he does Beyonce she could have half a chance,BUT there r parents out there that do make a difference between there children and Mr Knowles is one that do,I feel more sorry 4 her than anything.Im sure its not easy trying 2 please a father that dont give a fuck about u...Im just saying

what bothers me more than that song is that damn scarecrow dance she is doing to the beat...

She can't sing, that's the problem.Nobody is trying to down her, if you can't sing, tha means you can't sing! she gets a pass because of her sister,her last album was horrible!

DFY said...

And you can feel that way,This is a free coutry,but if u think she cant sing why did u go cope the CD not Album if she is so horrible, I dont buy her music but I still think she could have a better chance If she had her fathers help and support like Beyonce does.Just say she doesnt sound good 2 u,Because someone eariler said her CD was nice..But I do like her still as a person..

that album was beyond horrible! she sings through her nose! very horrible album! I actually bhrought it back and told the cashier it didn't play! it's trash! Her father can't help her, he already tried, she has no talent and lacks that "it" factor! at least if the chicken could sing she could do well on this song!

DFY said...

i telz it likes it iz said...

I was worried but she actually did a good job. Still like Coldplays version better...
Not trying to compare but she did remind me of her sister. The way she sounded and her mannerisms. Guess it's in the genes
