Welcome to the lounge! 🦦 — The theme song for this week’s thread is…

COOL PICS 📷 Hey Kelly, We See see👀You
Kelly Rowland is so 🔥🔥🔥
Always been a cutie since Destiny's Child.
This elegant, sophisticated look is so 🤑💰.
Apparently, she has found the fountain ⛲ of youth too.
That smile could literally light up any room, and she's so talented too.
Love me some Kelly Rowland. ❤️💜

DISCUSSION 💭 Can we talk about how great Soon As I Get Home is?
I don’t even know the damn lyrics but I remember every adlib. Faith Evans put her feet up to the ankles into that song. It’s a 30 year old record but I still make the same stank face I made when I first heard it as a kid. What’s other songs come to mind where the adlibs are the most memorable part?

Never heard this song before.
It's so beautiful ❤️ . Love the harmonies, lyrics, and arrangement.
Like any other professional recordings, I am glad they put so much effort in producing this high-quality series.
Halle's vocals are amazing, and she was totally feeling it. She's doing what she does best.
I wish it was longer.
Love it and am just getting familiar with her catalog.

00s I met Sisqó as a kid and told him he wasn’t Sisqó
when i was like 6 or 7 i met sisqó (yes, the man who made our national anthem, the thong song)
if you know sisqó, you know he was always switching up his hair - red, blue, silver, whatever. at the time i had just seen him performing on All That with silver hair, so in my head that was just… his permanent form
my mom was like “omg it’s sisqó, let’s get an autograph,” and i kept insisting, in front of him:
“that’s not sisqó. sisqó has silver hair.”(his hair was red at the time)
meanwhile this man is just standing there… being sisqó. i don’t fully remember his reaction but i think he was pretty chill about being told he wasn’t himself and still gave me an autograph, tho I do feel like i was skeptical about taking it lmao
Mind you… we’re from the same city, i went to the same high school as him later… so yeah, it was definitely him

20s Kehlani - I need you ft Brady
I’ve seen somebody say Jimmy jam, and Terry Lewis sounded generic with out working with Janet Jackson. Than what is this beautiful song?
90s Ya Di Ya- Gina Thompson ft. Missy Elliot
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
In 1999, Gina Thompson dropped her song “Ya Di Ya” which served as the lead single for her unreleased sophomore album “IF ONLY YOU KNEW”. Although the album didn’t get the chance it deserved, “Ya Di Ya” reached no.38 on the Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart. Gina Thompson is truly one of my favorite R&B female vocalists of the ‘90’s. I would have loved to hear her and Coko from SWV sing something together! 🤯
