Kanye Breaks Down+Alicia Hits Up Tyra+New Ish From Kelly R. & Lil Kim
Kanye made his first stage appearance this weekend in Paris since his mother’s death . He was kicking off his European tour but had difficulty getting through the whole set. According to MTV news:
“He said the word, ‘Mother,’ and just couldn’t go any further,” Le Parisien journalist Meddy Magloire told the magazine. “A back-up singer, the DJ and a guitar player came over to console him. It looked like he might collapse. He just couldn’t continue. He just stood there in a spotlight, crying, while the band continued playing.”
He reportedly left the stage for about 15 minutes after not being able to finish “Hey Mama”, and came back out to finish with ”Stronger”. Still such a sad situation.
Ms. Keys is going to be on the Tyra show next Monday (Nov 26th). Apparently they discuss Alicia’s bra size (normal Tyra Show convo) and her playing the piano in the nude.
Amerie and Kelly Rowland are covering the pages of Blag magazine:
And speaking of Kelly, she has confirmed that she is re-releasing Ms. Kelly early ‘08. (Seriously?) Supposedly this new track “Daylight” ft. Gym Class Heroeshitting the Internet streetz is going to be added with a video as well:
{Thanks Thatgrapejuice}
And judging from this snippet…I suggest she just takes an “L” on this whole album and go back to the drawing board. And I say this out of love.
It’s Britney b*tch…and Lil Kim ho:
Yeah Kim was serious. She hopped on the remix to Britney’s “Gimme More”. Still not sure how I feel about that one.
The Randomness:
- I literally would have knocked down whoever was in my way for this ish. It’s not a game.

On Nov 19, 2007 at 4:27 am | Reply | QuoteYou 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.

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!

On Nov 19, 2007 at 7:30 am | Reply | QuoteMy 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…..

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.

-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.

On Nov 19, 2007 at 10:40 am | Reply | QuoteI 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.

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?

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.

On Nov 19, 2007 at 5:53 pm | Reply | QuoteThere 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.
