I completely agree, OP. I may be a nerdy white girl but I grew up on SWV, TLC, En Vogue, and Salt'n'Peppa along with Boyz II Men, Snoop, Montel Jordan, etc... since my sister was into that whole scene.

everything you write I hear in Sophia's voice, because of your Golden Girls icon. everything.
it makes reading the comments fun.

This seriously made me LOL irl. You're awesome and I'm glad you're having fun with it!

/off to read previous comments in Sofia's voice.

(I'm just a touch disappointed that "/" wasn't "Off to discover the straits of Magellan, yo ho!" *coughs*)

This is an amazing comment and an amazing use of icon. I AGREE WITH ALL OF THIS.

Thank you! I think YOU are amazing! <3

Daaaawww....thank you <3

You have flawless taste in music, icons and usernames.

So basically, you're amazing. Congrats.

Aww thanks so much!

Maybe 40 years ago. Before "singing R&B" became synonymous with "vocal cord exercises".

What, any black woman?

Hmm, now I feel like listening to Brandy's music way back from the 90's... woman can harmonise so well.

I think everyone has a personal preference when it comes to things, particularly singing. I know I adore voices like Linda Eder's and Barbara Streisand's. You like what you like. No reason for it to be a secret.

Praying for bad American Idol audition vids in this thread tbh.

...Odd thing to make into a secret, but sure!

While I wish more black women had more opportunities to get into the rock, folk, and alternative genres, I certainly can't disagree with this secret.

This is also true. I LOVED seeing Fefe Dobson push the limits with her album, and I am also glad she made a comeback.

Yeah...I'm struggling to think of many that have (I ended up looking at my music folder because I couldn't think of any after the first four) and all I can come up with is:

-Fefe Dobson (already mentioned)
-Janelle Monae
-VV Brown
-Santigold
-The Noisettes (Shingai Shoniwa, their lead singer, is a black woman)
-J*Davey
-Kelis
-meshell ndegeocello
-The Bellrays (black female vocalist)

What about girls who sound "black" but are actually white? There aren't a lot but there are a few.

Otherwise, YES to the R&B love. It seems to be going away in favor of an insipid excuse for hip-hop. :(

This may be profiling, but I seem to be able to deduce the difference between a black woman and a "bluesy" white woman ala Teena Marie, Joss Stone, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Duffy, etc, even if I've never heard them before. I can't put my finger on why.

It may be just me, idk.

A Finnish man singing rock.

I agree with OP, singers like Beyonce send shivers down my spine.

I feel the same way about a woman (of any color/race) singing opera.
