Maybe next time Kelly Rowland. Such a beautiful soul and person. She should have stayed away from that “ghetto” track being a single. Where you at Mr. Knowles?

Its so hard to see a grown man cry. Stay up Kanye.

Nats ur blog rocks…all the way from Kingston Jamaica!

i know people wanna go on with life, but kanye should take some time…the people that make money offa him were probably all “whatever you need, but your mother would want the show to go on…” um. no! but my prayers are with him.

and bless kelly’s heart. my prayers are with her too.

oh, oprah, one day ONE DAY i will be in the audience to get some of your fave things.

hugs to you Kanye. my condolences to you family. You are a great artist and remember your mom will always be with you. Make her even more proud of you as you stay strong thru this.

I agree, when a man cries it’s over… Holding back the tears is NOT an option at that point…

As for the Oprah’s My Favorite Things debacle, I TOTALLY agree… Please believe that all sorts of knees AND bows would have been straight thrown up in someone’s neck if I had the opportunity to get just ONE present from Oprah… Just one…

Kelly Rowland is hot, but a hot album she is not… Can she even hold a note??? Ain’t nobody tryna buy that wakness man. No disrespect to Sony marketing team but if it didn’t work in 07, it damn sure ain’t work’n in 08. I understand yall tryna recoupe dem dollazzz but, damn!!! sum shit u just gotta let go.

I couldn’t imagine what Kanye is going through. He was probably out there for the fans though.

On another note, Amerie, stay away from Crenshaw; I will jack you for your Mius…

I feel for Kanye.

I feel so bad for Kayne! I am so close to my mom she’s my best friend I couldn’t imagine my life without my mom so i feel for him. I hope he can get through all of this lets pray!

Lord I feel so sorry for Kanye. WHo knows what the right decision is at his point - isolate himself and be depressed or be out there and be depressed.
He has to do what is right for him and will be in my prayers for a long time to come.
On Kelly R - gimme less
Nats - YOUR BLOG IS D BIBLE

That video is really hard for me to watch without getting a little teary eyed. i feel so bad for him. what an unexpected tragedy.

i guess most tragedies are unexpected…

My heart goes out to Kanye & his family, but one thing I don’t understand. Why is he still in Europe touring? Why isn’t he in the US with his family?

awww R.I.P Donda west I feel so bad for kanye =( He needs to be on the low key I know life goes on but she just passed last sat.. at least give it some time before u swing back…

Aww A keys plays the piano in the nude? guys will love that lol…

You know I never comment on any blog, but I have been overcome by empathy for Kanye. I know what he is going through, as the one child of an educator who died unexpectedly recently.

No disrespect to other Moms, but when your Mom’s a teacher you have a special kind of Mom. You learn at an early age to share her with other kids, but somehow they find a way to make you feel special in way that you are proud to share her.

As time goes on it will get better, but I still get teary each time I mention my mother, so I know exactly what he is going through at this time. I just wanted to express that.

Kanye keep holding on to the strength your mom gave you, you will make it through the other side.

Sapadilly, I know what you mean! My mother, who was a teacher for 35 yrs, passed away 12 yrs ago and it’s still hard for me. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about her, and how I would give up the world to have just 15mins with her! Kanye, do what’s best for you and not your fans! We will still be here!

My heart absolutely breaks for Kanye. I am sitting at my desk crying with him…It pains me to see him (or anyone for that matter) in such a state of despair and trauma….I really admired her mom and all that she did to nurture, protect, teach, and guide her child. I just have no words to console Kanye. I know Ms. West is looking down on her son and her heart must be so sad — I hope she sends angels his way to let him know she is still watching over him….After my greatgrandmother passed (I was very close to her, she watched me after school when I was growing up) — I was devsatated. But whenever I went over her house to visit my great grandad - I could still feel her there - even for years after her passing — I would feel her whisper in my ear about what to do/not do —

One time I was going to go to a store in midday at lunch — my great grandmother started weighing so heavy on my mind - and I kept hearing “wait” - “don’t go”, then my mom called me out the blue to chit chat , then my grandmother called out the blue —- by the time I finally left my office and got to the store - it was surrounded by swat teams and police –the store had been robbed about 1/2 hour earlier (when I would have been thre) and there were hostages (2 of them were shot later) — that was nothing but GOD speaking to me through my great grandmother — and even though I was determined to make it to the store - she just kept sending what seemed like “obstacles” to slow me down —– now every time after that when I thought of her - instead of depair, I felt relieved and protected…she is truly a guardian angel..I say all this with the hope that Kanye can one day find a measure of relief from the pain, like I did — b/c losing a mother (or mother figure) in your life is absolutely crushing…..RIP Dr. West…..and let’s keep praying for Kanye and his family - because watching his pain is gut wrenching…..

…On another note - Kelly’s album is actually really good — the only track I hate is “Ghetto” — she should release next, either “Cold, cold world”, (great lyrics) — or “In love with my ex”—

My heart goes out to Kanye….
Alicia is my girl, I will chek out that Tyra episode.
Amerie and Kelly both look fab, too bad they can’t sell any CDs….and I say that as a fan…
Wow @ Lil Kim on Britney’s wack ass song..I refuse to even listen…

Awwww! I couldn’t even finish watching the video…my heart pains for Kanye. I think someone stated it earlier but maybe he just needs to take some time off and grieve. His fan base will be there when he returns.

My heart goes out to Kanye. Stay strong!! Nice blog Natasha. I am a loyal reader.

And Kelly & Amerie both look fabulous. Maybe they should consider a career in modeling instead of singing???

Brit & Kim - no comment!

I am literally covered in tears. Wow my heart goes out to that man!

I feel really terrible about the whole situation with Kanye’s mother. I really empathize with him. I think it might do him well to take a break for at least a month or so. He needs some time alone with his family to grieve properly.

ALMST CRY WATCHING KANYE!!! TYRA IS SO ANOYNG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kanye I’m so sorry for him. I thought he would cancel the remaining tour dates. Take a break and give himself time to grieve, outside of the spotlight.

OMG I am full of tears…….I guess he wants to finish the tour, get it over with & just rela & grieve. My husband died while I was in college but I had to complete the school b/c it I had to hold my own down…..so I understand Kanye just trying to get it over with but when he gets to sit and take it all it it will feel like a whirlwind. God Bless U Kanye……

Kelly please no re-releases

I didnt even listen to the Britney & Kim track………

Natasha, I see u holding your ground around here…U WILL BE BANNED IF YOU DISRESECT THE SITE OWNER….get ‘em girl!!

i feel so bad for kanye, i know he is going thru a undescribable emotions right now…i give him 110 credit for trying to make a effort and continue to perform but he needs healing time…

my prayers go out to him and his family

Seems like Kanye is really trying to work through his pain. This is so sad. I agree somewhat with the person that said when you grow up with a parent that’s a teacher nevertheless pain is pain, regardless of profession. Hopefully he will take all her life lessons and pass them on to his future kids.

- My heart goes out to Kanye and his family. I should had postpone the European Tour for a few weeks.

-Kelly really needs to consider other career options.

-Kim is so deseperate for any hit to pay her legal bills.

-I would have kick, knock down and whupp ass to be in the audience for “Oprah’s Favorite Thing” show. BTW if 45% of population of Macon,GA is
watching Oprah at 4pm, does that means 45% population do not have a jobs.

“Gym Class Heroeshitting”

Did anyon else think that this part of the Kelly Rowland’s story (that Natasha mad a mionr flub with) was hilarious?

Natasha - you rule, honey!

I never liked Kanye, but I feel for his pain right now.

Too, too sad… My condolences to Kanye and his family. Kanye, your mother will ALWAYS be there watching over you.

I feel so bad for Kanye. I lost my mother too so I know what he’s going through. My mother died the day she was suppose to get out of the hospital and it just felt so unreal. I kept telling myself that all of it was a joke. After 11 years I still feel like my mother is going to walk through my door. Kanye needs to take some time and grieve. I know I isolated myself up until my mother’s funeral. I read that Kanye is in denial. I know about that too becasue I’m still in denial. Maybe now he’ll see that he can’t go on with the show and pretend that he didn’t just lose his mother. Nobody is that strong. RIP Dr. West.

As for Kelly; why can’t this chick and her team recognize a good song from a horrible song. I’m a Kelly Rowland fan so regardless of what the music sounds like, I’m buying and supporting her, but damn, please find some really good tracks so that my money will be worth spending, please! Her CD is actually pretty good. The only song I don’t like is ghetto. I skip that song. Too slow and boring.

Kingston, Jamaica stand up!! To the world!!!….my heart goes out to ‘Ye and the rest of his fam. It really is rough when someone so close to you passes away. Kelly does need to stop, she’s a beautiful talented girl but there comes a time….

I CRIED MY EYES OUT WATCHING THAT VIDEO.
WHAT TOUCHED ME IS WHEN HIS PEEPS CAME OUT TO HUG HIM.
IM SURE HE IS SURROUNDED BY LOVE AND SUPPORT.
GOD IS GONNA TAKE CARE OF HIM AND HIS FAMILY.
THE CROWD WAS SO SUPPORTIVE TOO.
THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

My condolences to Kanye and his family. So sad, I feel his pain. If it wasent for the tickets sold & his obligation to the tour, I know he would be in the US taking time 2 heal. My heart hurts for him.

Amarie & Kelly are still tryin to make it, Poor girls.
Tyra Urks me, what is her fascination with tits?

Kelly is talented. She needs new management.

I am too sad for Kanye…I cried with him.

Stay strong Kanye. We are still praying for you.

Awww Kanye!! That is sooo sad! I feel for him though. The show would of been over from there. I know he’s going through a hard time and he and his family are in my prayers. Ummmm Britney b*tch and Lil Kim ho huh? That’s all i have to say about that.

kelly…. She’s a cute girl, but I can’t see her without DC…. not hating, just being real. The stage presence and voice just is not there.
Amerie shoulda just went for the “top-model”career… maybe some movies.
I think Lil Kim&Brit are a match made in heaven. If Lil Kim can pull it together, so can Britney.

Blag Magazine? they should call it BLAH magazine, judging from the F-listers they have featured on there.

kelly needs to revamp your look and sound , and find a good music video director its makes know sense that in ghetto she had only 3 outfits .she is in good shape but does not dance .” put it in “sould have been her next single “like this remix ft lil wayne” sould have been the orignal first single.what happened to “gotsta so ft da brat” ,”the show ft tank ” .its sucks that she is not taking any creative chances she trys so hard to distance her self from what “B” is doing that her music suffers esp when “B” music has not been completly orignal from jump she been jocking AMERIE sound for a while now .baby get it together and get a stage prescence together .People are sleeping on AMERIE touch was one of the best cd produced at the time it still slapes. kayne my heart goes out to u and the fam

so sad for kanye … i feel for him.

kelly is hot. she is beautiful and genuine. she needs to work it though - maybe not on the music stuff but acting, modeling, or something. she’s got it in her she just needs to stop subduing it.

Kanye - there are no words, i wish i knew him in order to just simply give him a supportive hug and Brownie you actually put tears in my eyes when i read your note also. Thankfully my mother is still here with me and even though i am not that close to my mother (because she wasn’t the touchy-feely, show her love type of mother [she’s West Indian other West Indian kids may relate] but I love my mother to death and would give up anything for her because i know, without her showing it, that she loves me too. My prayers go out to him. And Brownie that was a real touching story - thanx for sharing.

Why the f*ck would you even post this? Is nothing sacred or private? DAMN!!!!

And for the record, different people grieve in different ways. Maybe Kanye thought it was better for him to continue his shows and begin to move forward as opposed to sitting at home and dwelling on a situation he can’t change. My prayers go out to him, but can we please be more tactful. What’s next? A video of him crying as he takes a leak in his mama’s bathroom?

its sad but she did it to her self! She should have hit that face up first and just hit them gym for that body…im just saying. Kanye gon be alright

wow I know the feeling I a week or 2 after my mother died I could hardly think straight but I did not miss a minute of school or work. Staying home sobbing does not help. He is very strong. Stay up Kanye

ok so im going to need NOT to cry that hard at a youtube video. you seriously would have thought it was MY mother. whew. I just I dont know. I dont like seeing people in pain like that. I feel like I knew his mom or something. man I pray for him

SMH your a dumb ass….

would he be doing a concert while he was crying taking a leak in his mama’s bathroom. This was a public concert. People were recording whether he was crying or not, they happened to catch that to. I beleive anything done at a concert in front of thousands…just mmaaayyyy be public….duh

I have been a reader of this site for quite some time and this is the FIRST time, one of your posts made me cry. That was very emotional to watch, and I can only imagine the pain and the emptiness Kanye feels. I pray for his strength as he tries to get through this rough time.
_________________________________________

I agree with Anon about Kelly. I feel she will never get to her full potential if she continues to let Beyonce’s manager (because he don’t concern himself much with Kelly), manage her. I still wish her all the success though.

Kanye my brother it´s too early for “acting normal”!
Patience little brother patience!

Prayers for Kanye. This something he’ll never get over !!

My heart goes out to my Chicago brotha…..I loss my mom in 2005, and I’m still very emotional about certain things that remind me of her. Ye is tryin’ 2 be strong, and keep workin’ 2 ease the pain. It’s gon’ be hard as hell 2 fight the tears, and the endless pain will be difficult. God doesn’t give us no more than what we can bear. I will constantly keep Ye in my prayers, so God can continue to give him the strength to keep moving on.

Readers of YBF, keep Ye and his family in your prayers while he goes through his time of sorrow.

I LUV U KANYE!

My prayers goes out to him, I know how it feel to lose someone so close to you. I lost family members along the way and the more you try, it is hard. But i feel that he will come back from this, it just take time.

Stay strong, you made that song for a reason to help you through this trying time.

ONE LOVE to you

love you kanye you are in my prayers always and fuck them haters they wish they had a bond like you did with your mother sweetie.

I couldn’t help but cry watching that Kanye video clip..I feel for him..

There is no pain like the pain of losing your mother. Especially when you have a good one.

Hopefully Kanye will move forward and be a stronger person for having gone through this.

That Britney/Kim joint works for me as I like weird shit.. birds of a feather flock together so it’s no surprise that two sluts work well together, thanks for the heads up as I’m going to download this song now, and the whole Britney album for the matter, now I’m curious as to what crap this chick is putting out.

There are no words to be said that can console you when you lose a parent. She was not sick or ailing…she was not getting on in age. So this has to be hard for Kanye. Who knows what kind of thoughts are going thru his head at this point in time. No time to really give yourself a space to grieve. He doesn’t have a regular 9-5, he’s in the middle of promoting an album and a hot one at that. You are legally bound to contracts that have to be fufilled and sold out concerts have to go on this is the life he wanted. And the life his mother supported him having. As an artist and someone who has lost a parent it is a sorrow so deep you see no land. You throw yourself into what you know to keep you grounded and attain some type of normalcy in middle of the craziness. This is the next test Mr. West and you are stronger. Seek your family.I am truly sorry for your loss Kanye. But your mother is now and forever will be…proud of you and what you have accomplished and for that she will be with you always. Keep Shining.

Its omy stank! lol!

Its omy slut! lol!

HILARIOUS! “and lil kim ho”!! Thats killin me! Now she can capture the hoods….

Please take the You tube video off. Some things we don’t have to see to understand.

My heart goes out to Kanye.

Ms. Kelly is actually not a bad disc. There are a couple of songs on it that I really like. It’s good driving music.

I feeling the remix. Lil’ Kim is just one of the latest to jump on the ‘Gimme More’ remix bandwagon (Lil Mama and T.I.P, just to name a few). However, no one can top the Remix w/ Lil’ Wayne…it is a must listen.

I really hate it for Kanye right now. I know he is trying to keep going and be strong but with the whole situation with the crooked doctor and his mom then all of the publicity on it…its got to be really hard on him. He had a great mom and a great relationship with her. Im praying for the family. Love you Kanye.

brittney + lil kim = NASTY
