ReplyDeleteOK, is this an Enty rating or a Mr X rating?
ReplyDeleteA+ list R&B Diva lasting 20+ years?
Maybe it's just Monday morning.
Patti LaBelle
ReplyDeleteSade
ReplyDeleteis it supposed to be Jlo and Rimini???
ReplyDeleteAnita Baker
ReplyDeletei'll agree with the mary guess.
ReplyDeleteMary J. Blige debuted in 1992. Mariah debuted in 1990.
ReplyDeleteI'll say Anita Baker.
Just asking - Is MJB really A+ list?
ReplyDeleteI don't see it, but I know nothing about ticket sales and what have you.

ReplyDeleteIn the world of R&B--Mary J. is a contemporary legend. Her My Life album is considered a classic in those circles. She's very much A-list.
ReplyDeleteBut is Anita a diva? I know she struggled to get accliam. Patti Austin?
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think of (I admit to being an old person, OK?) Aretha Franklin as an A+ list R&B Diva with superior longevity.
ReplyDeleteIn my heart, MJB has not reached that status.
Then again, A List has nothing to do with my heart ~;^

DeleteAnita Baker was quite popular from 1986 to 2004. Millions of albums sold, eight Grammys, and some crossover appeal.
ReplyDeleteThere was a big fallout over an album she recorded that she said had some strange noise on it. I believe there was a lawsuit from that.
But yes, Anita would have been considered an A-list diva for a while.
Do you know what would be really great?
ReplyDeleteIf this was Donna Summer.
But I assume Mr X knows she hails from the 70s.
Could also be Lauren Hill.
ReplyDelete@ Kno: Donna Summers has been dead for 2 yrs.
ReplyDelete@Tricia: everyone you are mentioning didn't really hit the scene until the 90's.
hey Kno
ReplyDeleteDonna died in 2012
Soooo, @Kno, that WOULD be really great!! teehee,now THAT would be a BI!!
ReplyDeleteAnita baker is a HUGE diva. Up there with Aretha's in terms of divaness but at least Aretha's earned it. She lived next door to Steve Yzerman in grosse Pointe park, and her house was in foreclosure a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteJanet Jackson came to mind but she wasn't really R&B
ReplyDeleteOT,speaking of deaths(lovely A.M. subject),we were watching 'Young Frankenstein' last nite,written by Mel Brooks AND Gene Wilder..where has Gene Wilder Been the last 20+ years??
ReplyDelete"what Hump"???
Sold the man a car many years ago. Such a nice, sweet guy.
Delete@rolo, gene was on Will and Grace for a while back when that was still on.
ReplyDeleteR&B Divas big in the 80's
ReplyDeleteSade
Diana Ross
Tina Turner
Janet Jackson
Whitney(dead)
Anita Baker
Patti Labelle
Tina and Janet are married so let's rule them out. I don't see Diana or Anita with a woman and I don't see Sade with anyone. I'll go with Patti Labelle whom i've heard gay rumors about for years.
Whats with all this Mr X business?
ReplyDeleteTaylor Dayne?
ReplyDeletethanks@Jack D!
ReplyDeleteDiana & I'd think Tina Turner are 60's,70's,80's,90's,00's, Permanent A+'s- icons
Tina created my heaven and mynearth, giving her permanent A+++ God status.
DeleteI thought Patti LaBelle had a longtime guuurlfriend & it was no secret???
ReplyDeleteI think this is Patti Labelle.
ReplyDeleteMary J is definitely A in R&B, but she really was only 90s. "I'm Going Down" is a jam!! Might have to spottily that album, it's been too long.
Lauren, is really only a 90s girl.
Anita - isn't really a diva is she?
Anita is definitely a Diva, or was one when she was in her prime. I think that's part of her downfall, that's how bad she was; and racist-talkin too.
ReplyDeleteI do love her songs, but SHE is such a turn off.
And I can see her munching some rug, that's fo shore.
Well Rolo this is a Mr.X blind which by definition is obvious answers hoping to catch those of us off guard if we didn't know. Like for instance I was unaware that Patti was a lesbian.
ReplyDeleteSo the answer is LaBelle kids.
MJB was on the Breakfast Club last week with her husband talking about their relationship. They seemed very much in love to me.
ReplyDeleteI'll guess Taylor Dane
Miss Labelle had hits in the 70's, had a comeback in the 80's.
ReplyDeleteMJB is totally A list
ReplyDeleteI like the Janet Jackson guess!! She was definitely R&B
Countervail - i thought Taylor Dayne as well, but she was an out bi-sexual in the late 90's/early 00's.
ReplyDeleteSheila E, but was she ever above C list?
ReplyDeletePatti LaBelle did not have hits in the 70's. She didn't blow up until the early 80's. It was not a comeback. It was an introduction of sorts. She had one hit as a part of the group LaBelle in 1975 with "Lady Marmalade" and that was pretty much the extent of their success. She didn't get really big as a solo artist (or at all, really) until 1982 or 83 with "If Only You Knew", her first #1 on the R&B charts and after then the hits kept coming and she went on to become the star and diva we know today.
ReplyDeleteLol...I feel like I've been watching E True Hollywood Story.
DeleteAnita Baker. Her debut album was named The Songstress. She will always be A+.
ReplyDeleteMichel'le lol
ReplyDeletetoni braxton
ReplyDeletePatti labelle and the blue belles had a #1 hit in 1974 with Lady Marmalade.
ReplyDeleteI think this is Braxton.
Natalie Cole
ReplyDeleteI shit you not... Look what's the headline on channel 7's website tonight in detroit
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wxyz.com/news/local-news/investigations/anita-baker-accused-of-failing-to-pay-rochester-lawyer-facing-150000-lawsuit
Toni Braxton didn't hit until the 90's.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Tina Turner was R&B and Janet Jackson can't sing without autotune so she doesn't belong in the company of any of these women.
It's probably Chaka Khan
There have been rumors about Patti for years. An old friend of mine who did gigs where the original group performed around Philly and South Jersey said flat out that she and her group were all gay.
