SOLANGE: I TURNED DOWN BEING IN A GROUP WITH ASHLEE SIMPSON


 







April 17, 2008. MediaTakeOut.com has learned that Solange Knowles and Ashlee Simpson were almost a girl goup once. Here's how Us Weekly is reporting it:
Roughly 7 years ago, a record label approached [Solange] to form a girl group with Ashlee Simpson. At the time, the teens were backup dancers to their older sisters ... [Solange said,"She was this rocker chick. I'm this reggae Rasta chick. What the hell were we gonna sing about? It was mad cheesy."

Ummmmmm .... when was Solange ever a Rasta chick?????? There go them Knowles and their lying....

    I dnt thnk tht woulda been cute, well maybe @ like 12-13, but her 1st album had sum good lyrics, shes a good artist (I thnk) its jst harder 4 her, b/c she Beyonce lil sister, no ones gna ever take her seriously-its kinda sadd & her new song (produced by Pharell) I DECIDED is hott!!

    MTO Soul Star is kinda a rasta feel. And when she first came out she was kinda Rasta.

    It's not like Solange has anything happen in her career right now, she should have excepted the offer because Ashley Simpson already has a strong fan base.

    I doesn't matter anyway bc neither of them can sing...I guess talent doesn't run in the family. Reggae Rasta Chick? ur from Texas..whateva
     

    sexy_cece
    She should have seems Ashley is doing better than she is now
     

    truchameleon
    Solange did have song out a while back that didn't get much play...it did have that reggae vibe...that's what she's probably reffering to...
     

    huhduh10
    she right to turn that group down , didn't want to be treated the way her dad treated MICHELLE and KELLY
     

    MrsLaadee
    Might have been hot...for the teenieboppers that is! Solange is so confused having been in Bs shadow all these years that she doesn't even know what kind of music she does. What the he** is she talking about reggae when she is from Texas.
     

    caramelprinze
    The dummy shoulda joined the group!!! Ashlee has had success, but Solange is still riding Beyonces coat tails. What does she think she's too good to be in a group?! Mad cheesy or not at least she would have been know as something more than Bey's little sis, and a wanna-be star.
     

    XcLuSiVe_TruTh
    who gives...neither one of them bitches can sing!

    Let'em be in a group...nobody would notice, their sales would flop like Kelly's! haha!

    It’s Ya boy Omar!!!

    It’s Thursday, I’m back

    What do you want me to do?? I’m sorry rent is due !!!

    I came out my Momma’s pvssy I was on welfare..

    I’m 26 years old and I’m still on welfare…

    So I got to get paid fully…whether it’s truthfully or untruthfully..

    Ya feel me???

    So far some of you guys have been cooperating with Ya Boy Omar!!!

    I appreciate the love..

    However I keep getting complaints.. especially from the ‘Main Crew” (talking about they are locked out)

    Well I told you Knuckle heads last week that if you don’t pay rent then you will not have access to the facilities.. GOT THAT???

    Yall keep thinking this some Comic View situation..

    Ya Boy Omar don’t play no games..

    I run MTO!!!!

    This week I have to expose a few more Knuckle heads for refusing to pay their rent..
    This is the Number 2 person the list.

    2) IGNORANT_STL…….AKA…… The Hider
    He is known to hang out in the Forum… AKA… Loserville ….AKA…Cornball Alley

    If Anybody Knows this young man’s whereabouts please flag his post and the authorities will take care of it.

    Unfortunately the Economy is not looking well so Ya Boy Omar has to raise rent for a few people on MTO. I will be coming out with the list very shortly.

    The first person on this list is:

    Blackexec (business has been good for you since you’ve been on MTO) I’m gonna have to charge you $3,000.00 per week for the privileges for being on this site.

    Now that I got those announcements out the way everybody can go back and enjoy this site.

    I think her comments are being misunderstood. I guess what she meant to say was Ashlee was into Rock and she was into Reggae and were not compatible. If you take a look at her first video you will see what she meant by 'Reggae Rasta Chick'. And how can she come out of her sister's shadow when people won't let her be herself.
     

    Bklynz_DRLatina
    that was not a smart move maybe if she would've accepted the offer n sang wit ashlee simpson she woulda been known for something else other than being beyonces sister..

    Side note - Ashlee Simpson is one of those people for whom plastic surgery was a GOOD idea....Lopping down that bird beak she used to have made a huge difference in her looks.

    Can't NEITHER one of them hoez sang a note and are only eatin' off their sister's sucess. And the only reason Jessica Simpson made it because she's tall, blonde with D-Cup titties! She really can't sang, either! Bey on the other hand is multi-talented, but she need to leave that Dereon trash alone! I saw a chick in the street on Fordham yesterday wearing that bullshyt and it looked BUSTED!!!!! House of Dereon is WACK!!!

    She should've jumped at the chance for her own fame. BUT, I guess she likes being known as Beyonce's little sister...that's how she makes her money. Oh, and rasta chick? weaves don't count girl.

    is ashley simpson bout 24 or 25, and Solange suppose to be 21?

    MTO DO YOUR HOMEWORK FOR CHRIST's SAKE!!!

    Solo's first album was heavily influenced by Reggae. Her video "Feeling You" was reggae through and through.

    Smart move Solo by not rocking with that lip-synching Ashley.
     

    President
    ashley simpson ..lookin pretty brown there. I knew they loved our skin color, sure as hell like our style.

    On a side note, join a group to become a bigger star than everyone in it, and then get that solo money that you could have gotten all along....why?
     

    Mizzy99
    NOW THEY WOULD HAVE A MADE A GOOD GROUP!! THEY BOTH ARE NOT GOOD SINGERS, THEY BOTH HAVE HAD NOSE JOBS, AND THEY BOTH ARE JUST PLAIN UGLY. THEY EACH TRY TO DIFFERENTIATE THEMSELVES FROM THEIR BIG SISTERS BY DYING THEIR HAIR DARK COLORS BUT ARE STILL IN THEIR SHADOW. THESE TWO WERE MADE FOR ONE ANOTHER LOL
     

    CayennePeppa504
    Ashley Simpson's father pushed and really promoted her just as he did Jessica. And now she has a fan base.
    Matthew should have done the same for Solange. He should've put in the same kind of work that he did for Beyonce'.
    It almost seems like she is trying to make this happen on her own.
     

    mzhoneykoo
    lmao rasta chick....wow BEYONCE GET YO LiL SiSTER!
      ---------------
    HATE to burst ur bubble but i dont care.

    ProdigyChild
    Actually, MTO, Solange WAS into the reggae type thing back then when they were teens. Remember her video for "Feelin You" and the cover picture for "Solo-Star."

    And why do you always have to be from somewhere to have that personal style? I was mad dance hall a few years back, and I've never left the States.

    Besides, y'all always talkin about how Solange is less-talented and less-pretty than Beyonce, when in actuality she's not. Beyonce has a very beautiful and trained voice, but Solange's lyrical ability is amazing. And Solange may not look as good as Beyonce, but she is nothing short of beautiful. Anything you point out that is wrong with her can be wrong with anybody, and I'm sure you wouldn't call your little cousin ugly or "unpretty" if she looked like Solange.

    Besides, if she's such a loser, why is her name all up and through your mouths? Because you wish you were where she is in life. Stop hating, Solange is a beautiful person with a beautiful mind.

    Now, go find me some real dirt.

    I'm sure I speak for lots, when I say that no one even cares about Solange. She is a wanna-be-but-never-has-been, pop star, and she is never going to be as successful as her sister. I think that media needs to start posting more stuff about the people that we actually care about...Remy Ma, Mariah Carey...just to name a few.
