JILL SCOTT HOSPITALIZED
Grammy Nominated Singer Forced To Miss Opening Dates of Sting Tour Due To
Illness

Philadelphia...Hidden Beach recording artist Jill Scott was hospitalized
this past weekend in Philadelphia with a lung infection. After several
grueling months of promotional dates and concert performances, Scott fell
ill on May 5th, forcing the organic soul singer to miss the first two dates
of the Sting tour. Scott, whose debut album, Who Is Jill Scott? Words and
Sounds Vol. 1, has reached platinum status, was recently booked as an
opening act for Sting's North American tour. The tour kicked off on May
5th in Washington, DC.

Scott deeply regrets letting down her ever-increasing and loyal fans in DC,
a market that has supported her since her debut. But Scott will be able to
resume the tour, according to her physicians. While there has been no
determination as to when Scott will be released from the hospital, doctors
expect her to fully recover.

With the release of Who Is Jill Scott?, the singer's soulful sound has been
embraced by a broad fan base, building up from underground music lovers to
pop fans. In fact, People Magazine has just named Scott as one of this
year's "50 Most Beautiful People."

The Sting tour is scheduled to continue until May 26th. And you can expect
to catch a healthy Jill Scott in a market near you soon.

Celebrating May as Prince Month at Okayplayer dot com

Hey lover, I've got a sugarcane/That I wanna lose in U, baby can U stand the pain? - soft & wet
And I get discouraged /Cuz U treat me just like a child - I wanna be your lover
And U were so strange /U didn't have the decency 2 change the sheets – when u were mine
People call me rude, I wish we were all nude /I wish there was no black and white, I wish there were no rules – controversy
I guess I should’ve known by the way U parked your car sideways /That it wouldn't last – little red corvette
Be your fire when U're cold – I would die 4 u
Oh - every single day is a yellow day /I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard - condition of the heart
Meet me in another world, space, and joy/ Vous êtes très belle, mama, girls and boys – girls & boys
And it was Joni singing, "Help me, I think I'm falling" – dorothy parker
Come bathe with me – let's drown each other in each other's emotions – when 2 r in love
Ah, ah, every time U kiss me - lemon crush/Nay, I can't resist thee - lemon crush- lemon crush
Love - come quick/Love - come in a hurry - theives in the temple
Just when U think U've got more than enough /That's when it all up and flies away – money don’t matter 2 night
I am yours now and U are mine /And 2gether we'll love through all space and time /So don't cry /One day all 7 will die – 7
So here I sit in my lonely room lookin' 4 my sunshine/But all I've got is 2 cigarettes and this broken heart of mine – 17 days
The act of showing her how good it used 2 be /I want it 2 be so good she falls back in love with me – I hate u
Girl, can U understand I never used 2 go dancin'? /I.. I was the kind of man who'd rather stay at home – pink cashmere
And by the stroke of midnight she wanted some more (more) /Showin' dirty movies like some kind of whore - dinner w/delores
Sittin' in the corner in your underwear /Lettin' me caress your nappy hair - joint 2 joint

Proper management should prevent an artist becoming this ill and cancel promo sooner ... (too late for this kind of remark anyway).


Get better soon Ms. Jill Scott.

"I used to be the town crier in a city of stone throwers
Until my soul was laid bare and displayed in the pearled square
Ignored, more than a lot, not less, no one understood my thought, process
I was gagged and bound over noise complaints
But, commanding the resolve that destroys constraints
I, found my escape in a melding of memories
The next thing I know, I'm rowing this boat
And blowing this note on an old tarnished trumpet"

"Ill cold cut that ass if you dont gimme my sammich!!!" RemyMartin


Nuwb or "blackness" is supreme balance before the chaos was introduced. It was a state of sound, right reasoning. That darkness was triple darkness, which is what you would call the absence of consciousness, or the state of being awoke. In actuality, the dream state is more real and peaceful than the chaos you meet once you are awake. A form of spiritual darkness responsible for the spark that turned on the light that is the life and intellect of all who breathe and think.
When the light is turned on again, the chaos begins. The differentiation begins. The separation begins. The rights and the wrongs, the goodness and the badness; the supreme balance is broken and the ego begins to verse the "I."

We were at the DC concert. I'ma Jill fan, my boo's a Sting nut. I was pissed the f*ck off when she wasn't there. I was that Oxen Hill bytch lookin' for my money, and it pisses me off that Jill is getting this Hallmark card treatment. She's toured before, Wasn't she in some musicals? WTF? See, ya'll don't know how hard it is to find a sitter for twins in DC! Ms. Scott, we crank your music like it's going out of style, please stop ruining me and my man's nights out. They happen to be fewer and fewer now that the twerps (twins) have come on the scene.

Peace

Jill may need to change her regimen or something. This makes her third major illness since the album dropped, right? Anyway, be strong, Jilly.
