I am not gonna lie, I was in fact surprised when Sevyn popped off and actually had that top 40 hit.

But then I saw Chris was on it.

They only true dark skin star in the U.S. I know was Grace Jones... And Tracy Chapman... lol

r Kelly is dark and he has had many hits!

:letsmessfag:
yeah he needs to be more specific
its the dark skin WOMEN who have a tougher time.

both in music and in life period. its like they're treated like the bottom of the barrell
which is why i don't blame them for mess like saying "brown" instead of "dark" ,etc.
they don't want to be put in that hell hole thats been created for them. its such a stigma with the term.

ashanti looked really dark in the "rock wit u (awww ddy)" video and that was a hit so... I have no idea what he is talking about!

:cheerup:

No shade, but that debut album ain't coming. She needs to step back and just do an Ester Dean. Cuz the gorl writes SMASHES. I'm sick of all of these hits going to waste. Ci, Rih, KELLZ, ect would slay these fucking songs.... And they would actually chart.

He is not particularly DARK. But I do believe that for males those standards don't apply. You can be a soot-colored man (Tyrese, Akon) and still slay, but not as a woman.

I fucking agree with my sis Sev'

"Boomerang" should have smashed but nobody will listen cause she's not cute.  :uhh:

It's so sad cuz she has SO much talent and potential, but she'll never make it. Sdddddd I remember one day on here I was like, "wait guys... I never realized, but Sevyn ain't fucking cute."

No shade, but I wish she would give some these hits to Ci or somebody so they all won't go to fucking waste. Cuz Consistent was a smash waiting to fucking HAPPEN.

:omgwatshappening:

How would giving it to Ci make it a hit? :shannonsmissing:

Yea I think it's different between men and women. Dark skin guys are still viewed as attractive and desirable to the general public, whereas dark skin women clearly have a much harder time.. Tarese, Tyson Beckford, Idris, ect. The darker girls kinda only have one token girl, Kelly. :dead:

Because she makes the music that Ciara is suppose to be making.

If Ciara released "Consistent", "Boomerang" or "It Won't Stop" they would have smashed.
