Orphans In Rwandan Genocide Find Hope In Rural Village
Hal Jackson Dead At 96
I am a lucky lady indeed. At the Lollapalooza festival here in Chicago, I got to see Erykah Badu take the stage and bring her feminine power and unique energy to this traditionally rock, electronic and male-dominated festival. Click here for a review, complete with video!Despite a late beginning and some sound cross-over at the end of her set, Badu was flawless and had the crowd completely under her spell. And her bold new hair and bangin' new earrings -- excuse me, Earwings -- stole the show!
Erykah is normally recognized as an icon in the natural hair community, but she's also always been known to rock a wig, extensions, and whatever else she feels like rocking! Her hair is provoking some interesting debate over at Black Girl With Long Hair regarding her status as a natural hair icon.
Regardless of what folks are getting from Erykah's ever-changing style, she reassures her fans -via Billboard - that she is indubitably here to stay. And we're happy to hear that, cause Badu is always giving us something to talk about!
Check out her closing performance at Lollapalooza this past Sunday.
What do you think of Erykah's rockin' new 'do? Are you feeling the blonde mohawk?

Don't get me wrong, Badu has a beautiful voice but as far as the hair and color, I'm not feeling it? I think the color is to light on her. This is how I feel about any singer, entertainer, ect... Your hair and clothes SHOULDN'T make who you are and what you stand for? If you have talent and such a gift, you don't have to go to the extremes to express, impress, and be the best that way. Just like a lot of these singers, entertainers, actors, rappers, whatever today think by dressing less and showing skin will get you IN? Sure, they all love the EXPOSURE. Your talents should speak for itself. Enuf said.

Erykah Badu is an entertainer and she looks damn good entertaining. She's putting on a show and has good showmanship and stage presence. Work it Erykah.

I don't see anything wrong with it. It's funky and very stylish. To call it whacky is an insult. There is always someone out there to find fault in creativity all the time.

At least she's not afraid to try something different. Can't wait to see what she does next.

whew!! what will it be next, Erykah ? You are super talented but your fashions are asburd. This mohawk is pretty out der, but it might have helped if you had worn something that agreed with that style...instead of that old fashion square dancin' dress. Girl, you're in bad need of a fashion consultant. And you might need to get ya head checked out and on some meds because I think you have a serious mental problem.
But they, most geniuses are crazy or end up, crazy.
And what is this with your latest video where you're released from jail, you change clothes in the car, switch cars, and then WHAT ??? rob the 7-1 store ? Girl you gotta be outta yo mind
(a mind and God's gift, is a terrible thing to waste)
