>>they learn to sing “black” the same way their authenticity-seeking white peers do.<<<

doesn't apply to her. if she 'domintated the choir' it stands to reason that she learned to sing 'black' in said choir.

The only EVIDENCE you seem to have that she doesn't 'sing black' is that they don't sound like PURE GOSPEL singers to you. But that's on YOU.

All the evidence points to the idea that she learned how to 'sing black' in the choir, and that its in her repetoire. if she turns it down for her mainstream music, it doesn't mean that other folks can't hear the influence. and when you hear her LIVE, it comes out even more and confirms what i already knew.

Is there any wonder why I hang out with mostly white or hispanic folks?
they arent as judgemental and dont have as many sexual hangups as black folk.

u know these muthafuckas are quick to run up on a black woman to ask her
to do some shit like this, because they know a black woman would be quick
to say yes to some shit like this...

Juxtarose (you know what i like about white guys?" they don't think having
a house, job and a car and no criminal record means they really have some
thing going on...)
