well damn. She imitated the hell out of Faith here
she was way too close to Faith at the time
and we weren't really in need of two Faith Evans on the scene
not sure if that was intentional from the label
Hit Em Up Style was refreshing and fun but after that i'm not surprised she kinda faded
Bad Boy was kinda running shit and Faith was with Bad Boy

the fact that we never got a performance of this is crazy
I think blu fucked up when she sat down with Wendy williams and was talmbout jay z. She ain't been seen since. She was ACTUALLY talented and could sing so it's unfortunate she didnt stay around a lil longer
It didn't help that she had the beyonce aesthetic. Tell me this ain't Beyonce? :dead:

SING BLU!!!!!!! She is KILLING THIS VOCAL :gorlonfire:
Also I thought it was so funny that blu expressed a like for Jay Z (did she say they messed around? I cant remember) and beyonce and Jay came and named their damn child Blue :omf:

yep. I remember arguing my sister down that it was Blu on Wake Up Everybody. You can't have 2 of basically the same artist. Especially not when one is already a veteran in the game and the other used to sing background for the main one
Queen Blu was next

I think the minute Faith got a whiff of Blu, she immediately understood how Mary felt.
Faith wasn't exactly marketed and introduced as an original gorl herself
Faith and blu Cantrell are nothing alike imo. They have similar sounding voices but make COMPLETELY different music. Blu is lowkey a jazz vocalist tbh. I feel like Blu is a much RAWER singer as well
they def aren't clones of one another especially artistically and vocally
but i can see why Blu was a great fit as a background singer for Faith
Faith does a lot of jazz "scatting" type vocals as well although I wouldn't say she's a "jazz artist"
plus they could pass as sisters
for the average viewer/listener who isn't looking into nuances, it's easy to see why many people kinda put them in the same box
and that especially rings true when we're talking about mainstream back then...cuz a lot mainstream is always driven by the younger crowd who ain't really gonna sit down and pick things apart. the gorls just wanna shimmy, bop and keep it moving. Faith saw a lot of mainstream success.
def doesn't mean they're actually just alike though. just alike enough for people to think they are.

U know what, faith has been jazzy at times. Overall i do think faith is a better singer but I used to feel like Blu was so RAW with her vocal and i dont necessarily feel that about faith. This last 40 secs :gorlonfire:
https://youtu.be/-_5Xsvvde8g
Blu does that thing sometimes where she's hinging on sounding kinda WILD vocally and I fckn love it. It never gets too outta hand, just unhinged enough to feel like raw emotion
!!!
i def remember Faith dipping into scatting here and there in that "Faithfully" alber that I played tf out
sfnjnfsjnsfjnsfjnsfjnsf
i loved when she got into that bag
u can tell she loved doing it but she knew not to OVERDO it. it was so nicely sprinkled over the alber

But yeah, amazing singer. But i think she got into drugs after her second album and it kinda fucked with her voice, although she sounds decent in that shit that was posted.

I never knew but I always suspected SOMETHING. There's no way she shouldn't have done more if she were in her right mind. She was a very good singer. The way she looks like she left skid row to perform Breathe in that performance :omf:

I was getting more so Mariah Carey, not in a bad way at all, like Mariah's rebellious, hood daughter.
BUT OMG she brought a slight tear to my eye..that was a home run

Yup. Their tones were similar but Faith Clark-Sheard was more gospel, pretty and refined.
If I recall correctly Blu's mother was a jazz singer.

you got Mariah from THIS performance?
Oh do u mean look wise? I feel like her look is Beyoncé all day
This I'll Find a Way performance :stressed:
She's dramatic as fuck but she's singing down lol.
Quote from: Vonc2002 on March 28, 2026, 09:44:12 PMOh do u mean look wise? I feel like her look is Beyoncé all day
Yeah, the look very Rainbow era-ish/Glitter tease. The performance too brought me kinda 'Through the Rain'/Can't take that away elements..
But, NOT exactly Mariah..just her hood booger daughter. Like she studied Mariah and I can tell she admired her.
Blu had so much potential to go further than what she did.
An amazing talent/singer. I hope she's doing better.🙏🏽
I still go back and listen to this.

I just looked again and I guess I can see moo a lil bit. They both got white mommas so they basically the same. Blu is just cuter lolz
