I just revisited some older songs by Jill Scott in preparation for her concert Sunday. I really enjoy how she doesn't just talk about being in or falling in and out of love. She expresses how she moves through the day while being in love, while falling out of love etc. There isn't any "I can't breathe, think, sleep, and eat" crap you get from other artists. She tells you she got up and made breakfast while thinking about you, she rode to work thinking about you, she got hit on by a guy and thought about you. Yeah, she tells you how she functions when she's looking for love, when's she's found it, when she's lost it and when she's remembering it. Ah, and then she throws little details in like, how one boyfriend used to wear a certain type of cologne but it only smelled good on him, she tried putting it on other guys but it just didn't work. haha. You gotta love that! I'm getting all boheme'd out for the concert. I really don't have far to go, maybe do a little something different to the ol' fro. And I shall bring back pictures!!

Ok I love Jillian and the way she expresses everthing just like you said she goes through her day...and tells some type of love story! Classic! I'm loving this vid because we've all know someone that has been " taken away" by something as serious as some vows, and some wedding rings, and at sometime or another our FACE showed the same type of expression of attitude! Man I wish I was going- but please take lots of pics, and have fun for me!
All I have to say is that Ms. Jill is off the HOOK!! I will always have to support this girl she keeps it real!
I enjoyed Jill sooo much! She was well worth the money that was spent on the ticket (and I say that b/c I'm unemployed). I think the ladies that were there with me can all agree that Jill spoke some real talk. We must do it again ladies and hopefully the rest of the homies can come to.
