A lot has been happening with R&B stars so let's play catch up.
Marques Houston is set to release his third solo studio album titled Veteran on November 15th. The first single is titled "Favorite Girl."
I recently interviewed Marques at his new label home, Universal Records, and he let on that since release of "Naked," his single and most popular video, he has finally gotten some play from older women.
"Women were accustomed to just seeing me as that kid on "Sister Sister" or from Immature. It wasn't until that video that they realized I was grown man."
His new video for "Favorite Girl" is a sign that Marques is now seeking out older women by featuring Stacey Dash as the leading lady. Stacey, a noted actress turned recent Playboy playmate, is 15 years Marques' senior.
Diddy, a man who is determined to take over the internet has released the artwork for his upcoming R&B-esque album, Press Play. Check it out.
John Legend also released the artwork for his upcoming CD, Once Again.
I have to say I am impressed by both. And if you haven't seen John Legend's new video "Save Room," get on it.
Leaks:
Janet - "Take Care"
Claudette Ortiz - "Handcuffs":
Good Morning!!!
Good Morning yall! I love marques houston's new song favorite girl and diddy's come to me is addictive.
Soulman,
Is "Handcuffs" supposed to be that fast?
I shall return...
Hey Soulful! What's up papi?
LOL at the MH pic. I saw that this morning and damn near spit out all my OJ. How nasty. But I love his new song. Heard it a while back, but am loving that he actually dropped it as a single. And STACEY is looking nice in it. Though she is double his age. Damn near. Anyhow. Not feeling the JANET. CLAUDETTE... great voice, but where does she fit in the industry? And no, the CLAUDETTE song is not supposed to be that fast. Lol.
DIDDY (What will we call him since he can't use that name anymore? Maybe he is the real Ding!) I am loving the above photo. I love it.
The NAS song is old.
That John Legend artwork is cool. And I love his new song.
that marques song is ok..not his best or worst, just ok. But i dont think i'll go as far as buying nething. Im really feeling John Legend..and LOL @ claudette ortiz but the song is tight tho
Ok, Soulman:
Time to step your game up. I saw this gossip yesterday!!

Waddup Trissa-
Peeps don't realize I can tell who is posting using multiple names.
I can drill down to their physical addresses. I play along usually, but today I ain't for it.
Trissa-
You heard that Jaazy Pha remix to "Ring The Alarm"?
Good morning!
One word for the MH pic...Gross! Not really feeling that Janet. I love Claudette! Where she been? The Nas is old but a nice song!
Soulman...have you heard about Jay dropping an album a week after Nas' is supposed to. I already saw it coming!
I'll be back...
YUUUUUUUUUK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm disgusted.
Gross.
Moving on...
Weekend Wisdom from willyj:
1.) After hearing the first 4 tracks of Robin Thicke's CD, my girlfriend said Robin 'blows JT out of the water'.
2.) My girlfriend said she would 'do' Nicole from PCD.
3.) Vikings WON BITCHES!!!!!!
Again, YUUUUUUUUUK!!! @ that picture of ol dude. WTF?
Save room still sucks.
:SOHH
Oohhhh... you spark my interest with this one...
"Peeps don't realize I can tell who is posting using multiple names"
Do tell.
Tia and Tamara need to tell Marques to "GO HOME, ROGER!!!"
Will NOT be buying anything from Diddy ever again (I got tricked into buying Da Band's CD once a long time ago). Not going for it this time around.
I didn't buy JL's first album at first cause i wasn't impressed by the hype, but after i saw him in concert, i picked it up. i think i'll get this one since i am feeling the old Vibe on "Save Room".
NOT feeling the Janet... and i wish the Claudette link worked, that was my homegirl back in the day!
Good Morning Soulman and bloggers!!!
Hey Soulman.....
Got the skinny for ya on the weekend, we'll do a latte and debrief, LOL.
MH is usually a sexy lil sumthin to me, but he looks hella undercover in this pic, LOL. Not that there's anything wrong with that....LOL. Just sayin.... I like the song but it wont hit my top 5 anytime soon.
I hate Diddy but that artistic rep of him is fly. Love the John Legend video too - very creative concept.
What up Phillygate?
Wassup to the "Philly 8"?
Sohhoul Man?
WillyJ:
Did you ever watch "Scratch?
Gotta work! Peace!
John Legend will be on Oprah this week! Too bad I'll be at work....:(
Ummm Houston we do have a problem! LOL
What woman (older or younger) wants to see this nigga on the fuckin' toilet? Shit, I don't don't even look at my damn husband on the toilet!
Janet is the shit! I can't wait for her CD to hit!
What up all, have a good one....
Trissa-
You heard that Jaazy Pha remix to "Ring The Alarm"?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I heard it. The one that Rick Ross did was cooler. You can hear it at the bama boys myspace page.
Im tried not to comment on that Marques Houston thing. Sweetie you is not D'Angelo...and don't nobody wanna smell you cause you ain't the shit.
Not to change the subject or anything, but I just read that piece on Lil Wayne and Baby kissing. From the take on things that shit didn't just happen once...It happened pretty frequently. Uhmm is this a sign of what's to come. The thugs are finally coming out of the closet?
Soulman, can you post the "Ring the Alarm" remix?
Why does Marques Houston look like that dancing baby that was making the rounds on the internet a few years ago? Not a good flick. Looks like he's "droppin' the kids off by the pool".

What's the link?
Look I don't listen 2 shot 97 often but I heard the interview with Foxy this weekend. The remix is a hot heavy-reggae influenced vibe. On one part, Foxxy says something like "and this is 4 Rihanna"...go figure?
Anyway, I can't hear the songs on this pc (they r taking 4ever 2 get up here and do repairs) but I can see that horrible pic of Marquisa Houston.ILK!!!
His vanity is so *ladylike* :)
Soulman,
Not me but um my cousin, um anaD.
LOVES that song with Tip & jt...LOL
I am far from a diddy fan but that picture is hot and very him.
John Legend's cover looks like I've seen it b4. It was a white girl who played a piano (really nice song but I 4got the title) The video was her playing her piano while going through the streets. Any1 remember the artist?
I still like the Legend cover though...
SOHH Man:
Where can I hear the remix?
What Soulful suspects? I had to pop in for a few - I am working too hard today being that next Monday I will in the Big Easy watching the Falcons put the beat down on the Saints...lol
Janet's song is okay. But I love "Rollwitchu" better that shit is hot.
Diddy - not today
John Legend - I love the song; the video; the pic of him.
MHouston - yes he has a problem. He is very cute and handsome but I am not trying to see is ass on the toilet...lol
Lionel Richie - is the truth. I copped the album this weekend. And the tracks are really good. i mean it is some Soulful r&b. It is very ol skool/new skool.
Robin Thicke - I am loving this white chocolate boi. His CD is bananas.
JT - "those flashing lights come from everywhere"...LMAO!!!
Soulman:
Can I PLEASE get some info on the Diddy/Keyshia Cole collabo? I know it's some info out there somewhere!!
Gotta go they sweating me about my internet time!
Good Morning Mr. Soulful. I love that new John Legend. Thanks for the Claudette. I would love to see her do well. And for the poster talking about the Foxy Brown remix this is how rumors get started. She actually says. And if you wanna know if he's fukcing Rihanna, NOoooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
She said nothing going at Rihanna. Lord people always here what they want. She said it is the offical Rocafella remix (Why when B is on Sony I will never get) But Trissa I too LOVE the Rick Ross remix but then I saw him give a shout out to J and Matthew and I am like damn poor B. Can't she get anyshine on her own.

Waddup?
Imma look into it.
Soulman:
thank you!!! I would really appreciate that.
And the Claudette is really fast so I am not sure what it sounds like.
I heard a track by Michelle (DC's)this am; what is up with her?

Michelle is a very smart girl. She does a lot of stuff here in Chicago. So we hear about her a lot. Keep us posted on the track.
Did yall see Michelle on "Celebrity Duets"? I don't watch the show, but a friend of mine sent me the links:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=-wHcreKCTzA
^ She performs with Alfonso Ribero
http://youtube.com/watch?v=1fU9SnYTm34
^ And here with some guy named Jai Rodriguez?
Soulman:
I got it off concreteloop. I don't know how old it is. But it is called "Love Thang". It sounds okay. I am just not a big fan of her voice but this kinda suits her.
I heard it. The one that Rick Ross did was cooler. You can hear it at the bama boys myspace page.

@KSH
I NOTICED THAT HER VOICE IS VERY RASPY AND HARD TO LIKE BCUZ THE WAY IT SOUNDS! SHE NEEDS CERTAIN BEATS MAKE IT RIGHT!
=TAH=
OH YEA I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT MARQUES HOUSTON IS SO EWW! UH HE NEEDS TO DO PORNO FLICKS OR SOMETHIN CUZ I DONT WANNA LOOK AT HIS NASTY, DISGUSTIN, ASS! YUCK!
=TAH=
TAH:
She sounds to me like her nose is stop of or something but this song sounds pretty good. But she veri intelligent and she gets her hustle on. They say she is a real business woman and she is a fierce negotiator. So I definitely repsect that.
@SK
Yep, watched it. Shit is dope.
Good lookin out.
And yes, 'Gay Jay' can sing.
I was kinda shocked when I saw it.
I still can't get over him in the official QEFSG music video they did.
(no so)Straight FLAMIN!!!
SOHH, you can check out Michelle's new song at http://www.concreteloop.com/.
Don't kill me, but I just replied to your myspace message last week (after 2 months of not checking it LOL).
@HSH
LOL! YES MOS DEF GOTTA RESPECT HER BCUZ INTELLGENCE IS THE BEST THING TO HAVE! SOME OF THESE INDUSTRY PPL HAVE IT AND THEN GET UPSET BCUZ THEY GOT PLAYED! I HOPE HER CAREER IS ALL MORE THAN WELL!
=TAH=
@KSH*
SORRY FOR THE TYPO!
Love the pic of Marques Houston!! I shall return...
That Michelle song is OLD by the way, it was on her last album "Do You Know"
Soulman:
And what is up with the track by JT called "Boutique in Heaven"? It is a real throwback knida vibe. Sounds pretty good; real laid back and kool. Has that old black and white "Breakfest at Tiffany's" feel.
What Soulful suspects? I had to pop in for a few - I am working too hard today being that next Monday I will in the Big Easy watching the Falcons put the beat down on the Saints...lol
to KSH: not this season, Saints going hard, We in the SuperBowl baby. (don't kill my enthusiasm).
Michelle is a very smart girl. She does a lot of stuff here in Chicago. So we hear about her a lot. Keep us posted on the track.
