QUOTES FROM ALICIA KEYS, KELLY ROWLAND, AND MYA
Alicia Keys on her New Year's resolution: I have a lot of philosophies. And my main one is the Golden Rule: I try my best to do for others what I would want done for myself, or to not do to them what I wouldn’t want done to me. And my most recent philosophy that I’ve discovered and developed is to follow my heart, and that is a big deal for me. There’s a certain pureness that’s in our hearts that’s kind of like a gut feeling, and we try to talk ourselves out of it so much that we talk ourselves out of our best ideas.Mya on leaving Motown Records: Every record company is in transition right now so when the record company has to wait for income then the artist has to wait. Sometimes an artist might decide they want to part ways when they don’t want to wait.Yes. I’ll be leaving Motown Universal some time next year. I don’t really want to sign to another label. If you end up funding most of your projects, why not distribute your own product and make 100 percent of your profits?Kelly Rowland explains the infamous fall: I was exhausted. Not only that, but the time difference threw me off and I was jet-lagged. I stayed up all night talking on the phone and didn't eat as well.

SOLANGE'S MESSAGE TO CRITICS
Solange Knowles decided to air out her quirky New Year's resolution via her official myspace blog.
In her paragraph-long rant, Solange addresses her critics over analyzing her fashion sense.(note the picture above).
this year feels very monumental for me, so maybe i get the point.
there a few things i want to achieve this new years myself.
use my middle finger alot more. i always think what person did that gesture and made it so famous for saying “f*ck you”! why wasn't it a pinky or a thumb? lol
but since it does mean those clever two words i want to do it alot more.
its necessary to be happy in life.
if you think about some of the most great and successful people and artist….. prince, oprah, bill gates, basquiat, andy warhol, murakami, michael jackson, kayne west, oh this list could go on forever…. they all had to say it once or twice in their lifetime.
people are always gonna try and tear u down for your individuality, your creative drive, you personal choices and all the little things that make you you!
people rag on me for everything, from my choices in shoes and lipstick color all the way up to my hair! but at the end of the day YOU have to be happy with YOU!
so what if you have the urge to do things that cant be formulated or has four sides?
black and white can be so boring without a touch of color.Story via A Hot Mess / Solange's Myspace.
