Blind Item #8 - Grammy Awards - Mr. X
This back in the day one hit wonder with the unusual name she name dropped in her own song always like to say she is sober. She will even say it while drinking bourbon and smoking pot. Such was the case this weekend.
Iggy?
ReplyDeleteChaka Khan?
ReplyDeleteDon't think Chaka Khan deserves 'one hit wonder' really though, does she.
ReplyDeleteMeredith Brooks? ;)
ReplyDelete😂😂😂😂
DeleteIndia Arie?
ReplyDeleteIndia Arie. Even back when she was famous, she was trashed out of her mind.
ReplyDeleteMacy Gray?
ReplyDeleteNot that it’s so unusual,but first /only time I think I’ve heard it used as a first name?
Or maybe Fiona Apple but I hope not/
ReplyDelete:(
India Arie fits for name dropping in her biggest hit.

ReplyDeleteFiona is not a one hit wonder. She has a ton of loyal fans and her last album in 2012 debuted at number 5.
ReplyDeleteI will defend Fiona Apple til my dying day. She is a fucking genius.
I happen to
DeleteLove her music as well. No need to defend her with me.Ive also met her and she’s extremely sweet(and shy). Enty has wrongfully called artists that have multiple hits this... the only reason I threw her name in.
Tricia, Fiona fans unite!!
ReplyDelete100% Paris! I was always (still am) stunned by her depth,her vocals her style. She’s a bad ass
DeleteI love her song Paper Bag. Criminal is not even her best song.
DeleteLove her version of across the universe.
DeleteShadowBoxer....
DeleteShadow Boxer used to be my anthem. ❤️
DeleteI love Fiona. She’s positively brilliant.
Fiona gave the best MTV speech ever lol.
ReplyDeleteI love heretics :)

Remember it well....
DeleteThink she was still with David Blaine then. They were an interesting couple.
DeleteBetty Boo, the one hit wonder song is "Betty Boo doing the do" from the 90s?
ReplyDeleteIT was a big hit in Europe and she was always on MTV and stuff for a while, but don't know if it was a hit in the USA.
+1 for India Arie, she has that song with her name in it
ReplyDeleteIf they had one hit --back in the day ---then why are you even talking about them?
ReplyDeleteDesperate for stories?
Oh wow, I went down a Fiona rabbit hole on YT this weekend and watched a bunch of her live performances from the last 10 years. For those into her look up her appearance on Prairie Home Companion. So so good!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is Lady Sovereign maybe? Not sure she would warrant a blind in the year of our lord 2019 but who knows??
ReplyDeletePaper Bag is AWESOME
ReplyDeleteDaredevil
Oh Well
Left Alone
Sleep To Dream
Tymps
Sullen Girl
Oh my G-d, I love her so fucking much. Such a talent.
SAME. 💗
Delete❤️ Hot Knife ❤️
ReplyDeletechocolate chip cookie dough
ReplyDeleteHot Knife is amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, don't fuck with Fiona. She's carved her own way and done well. And everything she said in that speech above is right.
ReplyDelete🎶Chaka khan, let me rock you, let me rock you, Chaka Khan🎶...with Rufus or solo, she's a legend! That being said, she seems daffy enough to claim sobriety between puffs and swigs.
ReplyDeleteWow, love Fiona...not a one hitter, and which song cites her name? Macy has had some fun songs, I dont know how many would qualify as hits.
Not familiar enough with work of the others.
And also, Macy Gray is no “one hit wonder!!”
ReplyDeleteLove Fiona...
ReplyDeleteWow whoever said Chaka Khan knows nothing about her music. Not only did she have solo hits, but before that she was with the group Rufus in the 70's & they had a number of hits....C'mon!
ReplyDeleteSweet Thing, I’m every woman, tell me something good, I feel for you, higher love duet and through the Fire. Plus Chaka has been open about her drug issues and has been to rehab.
DeleteHer singing Tell Me Something Good is AMAZING!!!
DeleteAbsolutely jumping on the Fiona love train. I'm almost positive we're getting FA5 this year!! I follow her pretty closely and the only time I've ever heard her say she was sober was back in 2012 she told a story to a reporter about how she got drunk one day and thought it contributed to a baby hummingbird fleeing it's nest in her backyard while she was taking pictures...lol no joke. So she stopped drinking for a month to "learn a lesson" from it. Other than that she's pretty open about drinking and weed/hash.
ReplyDeleteDid Fiona do 'What if God was one of us'?
ReplyDeleteAlways Hated that song so happy to hear I had good reason lol.
DeleteNow she’s working at Dairy Queen again 🍦!
MDAnderson--also Aint Nobody! Perhaps the past issues and rehabs are what are making her think she needs to deny current use? But one hit?😩
ReplyDeleteGentle Breeze-- Nope, that was Joan Osbourne. Same era, though!
Freebird-- good scoop!and on subject of bitch...im drawing a blank..who sang, "im a bitch, Im a liar, im a ...?" I can hear it but i dont remember rest of lyrics
ReplyDeleteSophie B Tucker' s "Damn! I wish I was your lover!" Was a catchy one. Lol! A Good exclamation song is always fun!
Omg -Ain’t Nobody is my Chaka Jam and SBH -Damn I wish.... I listen to in the daily Vita!
DeleteTwinning!
Hooray, Tricia!!!😁 That's some groovy twinning!
ReplyDeleteI wrote Sophie B.Tucker, lol!!! Not a coincidence that Chicago cast recording and Chakas greatest hits were simultaneously in heavy rotation during a period of stressful commuting!
I think it’s Sophie B Hawkins though lol
DeleteStill - 💃I listened to it today- legit.
Im grateful that Dr. Evil has replaced Joan as the singer of that song when I hear it!
ReplyDelete"Sophie Tucker would shit, I know, to see her name appear below, Foxy, Roxie Hart!". Yep, I was crediting a Vaudevillian with your song, lol! Sophie B. HAWKINS, indeed! Dance on! 💃
ReplyDeleteFiona Apple is fucking awesome!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Hot Knife and add Werewolf to the list of songs. Those lyrics are sharp!
It could mean a few things, especially if you remember Norman's Cay. Minor Key.
Whoops. Thanks for the info. Always kinda liked that song, though.
ReplyDeleteFiona's cover of Pure Imagination. That 'I'm a bitch' song was Meredith Brooks. +1 Vita re: Dr. Evil bahaha!
ReplyDeleteI used to blast out Mistake in my teenage years! Still love Fiona :)
