2829360, An Adina Howard comeback?
Posted by gritty, Tue Aug-06-13 02:34 AM
I just saw that Adina is supposed to be featured on the new season of Tvone's Life After.
I love a great comeback; Adina still looks good and so long as she can still sing all she needs is the right writers and producers along with a record label to work with.
Who would be the perfect songwriters and producers for her to work with in 2013?

2829373, yes plz. ive been in luh with her since i was a frickn kid

i was like 10 or 11 when i first saw the "Freak Like Me" video, mouth agape. pretty sure that was the moment that turned me into an ass-man.
but it wasnt just that she was shit hot.
she could sing n had crazy swag too.
"Sexual Needs" and "Crank Me Up" in particular are like...jeesus lol. too sexy.
in terms of who should produce her now? i have no idea. but the first person that popped into my head for some reason was DJ Quik, but only if Rob Bacon, G-One, the Debarges & his whole crew were present AND he went for a "Rhythm-al-ism" sound. dunno, i just see her fitting into that mix real well.

2829429, Since I'm not in my mid to late 40's, I'm not big on old freaky ladies.

I'd rather she stay gone, so I can remember her heyday from my high volume fap'ing early-teen years.

2829640, LOL, she's not that old

2829479, WHO? why not bring back Samatha Foxx? same talent level

Freak like me was cute. the last time i heard from her with Warren G on a Hook. i can't see a 4th or 5th tier act making a legit comeback unless she becomes a talk show host or something on line.

2829505, Yeah we can never have enough marginally talented over the hill artists

on the scene.

2829642, Strangely enough, I was just thinking about her earlier
Posted by ramaj1, Tue Aug-06-13 06:24 PM
For some strange reason, I thought she was from LA but she's really from Grand Rapids, MI.
I definitely think she could succeed with the right promo, producers, etc. R&B could use an unabashed freak again. Current pop/r&b females are curiously sexless these days (Bey and Rih's sexuality is more campy than titillating IMO).
She got blacklisted after her debut album, hence why she disappeared as soon as she appeared.

2829680, i heard about the blacklisting but never got the reason why?

2829686, because she was going to tell the truth on them Labels
Posted by mistermaxxx08, Tue Aug-06-13 08:13 PM
and how they only saw her as a Skirt and she didn't want to play ball and she was talking a bit too much about the behind the scenes. i remember when Jamie FOxx was doing a track on her and that was back when Jamie was doing "booty Call" and back then Jamie as a Music Artist would have been lucky to be an opening act for IMX or Next let alone to where he got to, that is how long ago that chick been out of the mix.
|
2829886, Wow, I never knew this. Her special on Tvone should be interesting then.

2830093, According to her, she said something foul about an exec
Posted by ramaj1, Wed Aug-07-13 10:09 PM
...and he pulled the chord on her career.
It's not a coincidence that her second album--'97's Welcome to Fantasy Island--was never released by Elektra despite a hefty production budget.
I find her honesty considering her fate refreshing.

2829890, she & montell jordan should do a duet album
