The problem is SHE’S NOT BEYONCE. She will always be in the shadow of Beyonce . She should just find something else to do.

I think that she shot herself in the foot when she went on the t.v. interview and wrongfully accused the t.v. reporter of asking her questions about her sister and Jay-Z. Solange was trying to be protective of her sister, but she came across as very b***hy. This was around the time her cd dropped, so I think she became a turn-off to a lot of people who could have potentially bought her music. The fact remains is that Solange’s music is different…more poetic and less mainstream than Beyoncee’s; any negative publicity would have taken people off the fence and turned them off.

Too bad though…There are quite a few of her songs that are very catchy and I love their retro flavor.

…On another note, I don’t like her short afro…it doesn’t flatter her features. I think the afro should be grown out a bit more or she should go longer. Just my opinion though

I think she tries so hard not to be like her sister so she can’t be compared. She just doesn’t get the airplay that others do.

I can’t believe her CD only sold 150,000 units. Her CD was really good. I keep it on repeat for real

Not that surprising.

But honestly, this is not that big a setback for Solange. The industry has been dragged kicking and screaming to an interactive, online infrastructure where the tech places the consumer in charge. iTunes, iPods (and other players), and ringtones matter more than CD sales, and music videos are getting the most shine online instead of on-TV. And terrestrial radio is getting beat back by internet streaming, satellite, podcasting, and smartphone apps (all without FCC broadcast content rules).

There’s opportunity to be had as an independent artist. Solange can do just as much or just as little as she wants if she wants it enough.

I like her her music and her personal style. People need to be open to different types of music and stop comparing her to her sister. Solange is more original.

If she were allowed to do her thang without the assumed pressure of having to stay out of the lime light to which “only” has room for her sister Bey, then she wouldn’t be dropped. Her music don’t get played because her daddy wants it that way. If he could do all he has done to make his Bey the “queen” then surely he could HAVE done the same for Solange.

I feel sorry for Solange. She’s constantly compared and held to the standard of her sister. It’s unfair to her.

Solange… Key word, MODEL! Don’t sing. She should take advantage of her model figure instead, I believe she would have a much better chance at that. And for everyone who say that people are haten because they disagree with Solange work, need to stop it! If everyone had the same opinions on blogs than, this site wouldn’t even be interesting! I am one who believes that Solange’s talent isn’t in her singing. I also believe that Solange has gotten the rough end of the stick because of her very talented sister Beyonce. May be if Beyonce wouldn’t have come out before Solange maybe her and her album would’ve been a success. Oh and about the hair…. Very Brave!

Solange is ridiculously dope. As usual, people will hate. Folks, it is fine not to like something, but must we always shoot hate at something because it is not to our liking. Try building folks up instead of being so quick to judge and tear down. Give a compliment or encouraging word, instead of sucking the life out of others with your discouragement. Beter yet, if you have nothing positive to say DON’T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL. Bottom line, Solange isn’t mainstream and that is a key compenent that makes her fly to me. She seems like a beautiful person. I’ve been to several of her shows and she was dope and entertained the people without major theatrics, just beautiful energy, good music, and an awesome spirit.

Amber Rose?( Average white chick with a close cut and edgy fashion sense) Why would anyone compare her to a beautiful black woman? Seriously some of you are conditioned to latch on to anything non black just because! Beauty comes on in all shades , especially within the black race! I don’t know why Solange decided to cut her hair short ,but it’s her head so let her do her and worry about your own d*amn head! I heard a few songs from her album and I think that she has a very nice voice, but her style is not what mainstream is interested in these days! She’s not Beyonce so people tend to think of her a failure in the music dept!

I think Solange is bright, beautiful, and talented. This business is a killer. Everone is smart and pretty, most have some kind of voice. Too many all sound the same, like Mya or Monique clones. They put out a record or two and then disappear. It would be a shame to be Solange go that route, but at least she has a fall back position, model. Most of these other wannabees don’t have that much. I hope it works out for her. She turns me on a lot more than Beyonce ever did.

Lol. Solange? The girl cant singgggggggggggg. If her father/sister, plus J-Z was not in the business she would have to get a job in a department store. Come to think of it, she is average looking too. Plain Janeeeeeeeee. I know, after all, i am a beautifull woman. Amber Rose makes girl like Solange look silly.

Even the not so bright Louren London who need counseling for opening her legs for Lil wayne is better looking. which record did solange made that more than a handfull of people talked about? Sure hope her daddy reaction/karma that will one day catch up to him tond drop on her. She is riding on Beyonse coat tail. Forgive typossss1

I like it when a woman rocks the short hair dew, if she is thicker than a plate of fatback…other than that, it depends! Solange is beautiful, but I think she should grow her hair back

I love Solange. She is fierce and dosent care what anybody thinks of her. More people need to be like that. And her hair is bold and different, just like her album. Women should wear their hair in whatever makes THEM comfortable. I think she stands on her own and if when people stop comparing her to her sister, they will rather enjoy her..
