So…I received calls and emails regarding Jazmine Sullivan quitting the music biz. Now I thought it was a rumor until I saw this……
Ok first, you do not make an official announcement on TWITTER. Second while I understand the frustrations of the industry (especially for a thicksational woman) the first thing that came to my mind is…..
How Do We Grow If We Quit?
There is no doubt that Jazmine Sullivan has the BEST voice of this generation and does she get the respect for it…NO…does she receive great marketing/pr….HELL NO…but is that a reason to quit….
HELL TO THE NAW!
We can’t grow and be successful in life if we quit when times get hard. Even things that we have a passion for gives us moments where we think we should quit.
But quitting has never solved anything!
It only makes the one who quits weaker and the doubters and haters stronger.
I feel Jazmine but I must say I am disappointed. Only two albums in the game and she is ready to run and while some may say she is taking a “break” not quitting, making an announcement via twitter damn sure sounds like QUITTING to me. My personal opinion…there is more behind this twitter rant than her just finding herself. If Jazmine had Alicia Keys numbers I DOUBT she would be taking a “break”.
We constantly hear our thickettes in the music industry talk about the lack of respect they receive because they are not a size 2, however if you keep taking “breaks” or QUITTING how will the world see what you have to offer.
Stand behind your talent and stop being WEAK!
Jazmine wants to “find” herself but I think she already has. She was placed on this earth to sing. If you don’t believe me check out the video below. She was only 11!
Now only someone who was touched by God can blow like this at 11 years old.
Jazmine get back to work and shake it off!! Do not waste your God given talent!
While I was packing today I heard Jazmine Sullivan’s voice on TV. Now of course this would be normal if I was on BET but I was watching the TLC Channel. Come to find out our thickette has an endorsement deal with Cotton. Check it out.
You better make that money Jazmine. That beautiful voice makes me want to buy some cotton shirts right now!:)
Jazmine Sullivan turns 22 today! Here’s a video of her when she was 15 singing “Sunshine”. Can you tell me anybody in the music industry right now who can touch Jaz’s vocals?
From my understanding this isn’t the official video for “I’m In Love With Another Man” but it’s still nice and of course Jazmine always delivers on the vocals.
