No big deal IRL. But I'm a top cpmment.

I was commenting on this song:

And i said this:

Is it just me or do the the 90's embody a kind of real woman that's absent today in R&B? I've always considered R&B to be the music of love and groups like TLC and Brownstone had something to say about relationships that seemed to speak to the very different ways

Thanks for that link. I nodded a lot. Even as a teen, I never felt pressured by media to be a certain way. I mean, I felt it, but never so strongly that I thought I needed to sex myself up to be popular (my older sister's another story, but she never had a strong sense of individuality).

But now, it's even more inescapable. I fear the teenaged girls of the world won't escape with a scrap of self esteem.

Love that song as well as Mary J. Blige's songs. I used to love Janet Jackson's earlier work. Then there was En Vogue, SWV. Old school R&B, really miss that.
