    When you think about it, the 2000’s was one of the best periods for female singers. Ashanti , Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Amerie, straight up living legends.

    if I want to feel the nostalgia of the early 2000's again, listening to this song will do it. Summer of 2002 this dropped. Immediately brings back a wave of emotions and feelings of the time. Reminds me the things I did, and the people I did it with. The vibe of the era. The power of music is unreal.

      There was a song called Happy on The Boys album. I think like 1988 or 89.

    How tf she didn’t get popular as she should’ve is really upsetting she was so talented! She was beautiful, sang good as hell! Could act, and was just a great woman all around! I still think she better than Beyoncé and I’m rdy to fight cuhz I stand by that 💯😂
