not to be spreading rumors, or maybe i'm just late on this news. swiped from vibe.com. thought it was interesting.



Jill Scott Gets Engaged:
During a recent interview with VIBE Online, neo soul artist Jill Scott announced that she was engaged to man named Lyzel. She also expressed her current views on the state of the music industry and her slow climb up the charts. Scott said, "I think that it could use some growth. I think it often times is directed towards the entertainer and not the artist." She added, I don't feel slept on. I think the best meal takes time. I went gold and that's incredible in 14 weeks."

Scott also expressed her dislike about being compared to fellow neo-soul artist Erykah Badu. She stated, "I'm not upset, but just disappointed. I'm obviously different. We don't sound a like, look alike, or act a like." She will also be collaborating with Darius Rucker of Hootie and the Blowfish on his forthcoming solo project. Who Is Jill Scott? was released in July and is currently ranked at number 96 on Soundscan.

I think I read on the Black Lily website last year that Jill Scott was engaged. Vibe is always late with their stories.

i read in a "rolling out" paper...{u know those free papers w/like 3 staff members}...like forever ago that she was engaged {to lyzel}...i thought it was just KNOWN that she was...*shrugs*

but jill has to know...everyone is goin to get compared to somebody for whatever reason...those particular comparisons were inevitable...& i personally don't see them bein disappointment worthy...but that's me & my mutual respect for them both

WORDS TO SAY TO YOUR EX:

"I leave You with these open senses in
motion.
drinking in a surrounding scene so
senseless.
seeing faces and hearts so loveless.
(I wonder if that's where love lost leaving
only lust to live plus a less than a
handful of
love to give)
like forgotten alms tossed to the palms
of the poor...
OR
PERHAPS
I'M
JUST
WAITING
FOR YOU
TO WALK
THROUGH THAT DOOR"
