Vivian Green

Check out Vivian Green as she gets ready to exercise her vocal chords at BB King’s Blues Club in NY.  For all of you lovers of Neo-Soul, she will be dropping some new ‘ish for y’all this year, so can have some relaxing music playing while you practice for your “poetry night” debut at your local jazz club.  Yawn…

A few more up under the hood.

    PHILLY STAND UP AND LIL MAMA CAN SANG I SEEN HER IN CONCERT AND SHE GIVES HER ALL

    GOOD TO SEE HER CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEW ALBUM

  • Whatchaknoboutdat?

    I was wondering where she was… I was diggin’ her vocals a few years ago and then she just disappeared. I hope her career gets a good jump start so that she’ll be around longer this time. She’s good… :)

  • Java

    I like Vivian Green and I’m not even a neo soul lover I just love good music period

  • Sydney

    I saw Vivian Green perform several years ago when her debut album hit the scene, and the sistah blew the house away — She was so petite and had this powerful, knock ‘em dead voice.

    I look forward to her next release! Maybe good music is making a comeback in 2009 — We can only hope. :)

  • Sydney

    Vivian also sang backup at one time for Jill Scott, and they both produce consistently quality music.

  • Anonymous3 – the fire sign

    so glad…..she is talented…can’t wait for new material

  • Glok9n: The real glok !!!

    VIVIAN GREEN!!!………HMMMMM, AND THE FUK ARE YOU ? FACE LOOK FAMILIAR!!!!

  • Phillygirl

    She has a beautiful voice. I agree yawn on this post.

  • beloved

  • Mandah aka Cranberry Sauce.. when’s it gon be four so i can clock out?

  • Corey W.

    Yawn?!?
    Some of ya’ll at Bossip need to buy a clue…

  • Film

    My favorite songs by her is Sweet Memory and Complete.

    She’s a great talent, oh, and she’s from PA.

    Hello, Sydney

  • Christie’s secrets (Barack is with michelle, so "who’s gonna save my soul now?")

    she really can sing and she is gorgeous too! you see bossip, there is a lot of talented black woman besides who you know! go vivianne!

    @PHILLY GIRL

    BOSSIP MEANT YAWN AT NEO SOUL AND POETRY. OF COURSE BOSSIP WOULD PROMOTE THE SHALLOW NE-YO’S AND OMARIONS AND NOT REALIZE REAL ART FORM IN ERYKAH BADU,JILL SCOTT AND DWELE. GET A CLUE BOSSIP AND RECOGNIZE REAL ART.

  • Sydney

    Good morning, Film :)

    This makes me want to pull out my old CD of hers. I like What is Love? as well.

    Maybe this isnt love, but if it isnt love then really what is love
    Maybe I dont need to know whats really love
    Cause when hes around hes got me feeling some kinda way

  • Sydney

    Film

    I keep forgetting that she’s from Pa., and that’s how she probably got hooked up with Jill Scott.

  • Christie’s secrets (Barack is with michelle, so "who’s gonna save my soul now?")

    she kinds has the same voice as deborah cox , crystal clear! i miss deborah!

  • FURIOUZ STYLEZ

    YEHHH I REMEMBER THE NEO-SOUL EMOTIONAL-ROLLERCOASTER-CHICK WITH THE HUGE DOME

    …NICE TO SEE HER AGAIN YO

  • Film

    Can’t go with what they say must follow my heart
    But now is that even being to me
    Maybe I’m happy, truly content
    Maybe this is as good as it gets . . .

    Yeah, What is Love is a good choice, too.

    Vivian is beautiful, but, I liked her better with short hair. It enhanced her facial features more. JMO.

  • The Official Mrs. Carter

    I love Vivian Green I still keep her 1st CD in my CD player…

    ***singing*** Im on an emotional rollercoaster…!!

  • The Official Mrs. Carter

    There’s nothing like Aint Nothing but Love and Be Good to You…Dag, I wish I had that joint here at work today…Bossip yall done started something…lol

  • K-mia

    she’s really pretty

  • Film

    Sydney

    Yeah, Jill is, too, and, so are The Roots.

    That would be a good concert, and with special appearances from E. Badu and Dead Prez.

  • Sydney

    Film

    Yeah, when I saw her in person, her hair was shorter — She is beautiful. :)

    I liked her debut album more than her second release. I think she was going through some emotional turmoil at the time, and some of the tracks were pretty bitter. Her voice still sounded wonderful, though.

  • CinEffinRella

    wow. so only hip hop is blog-worthy? if you don’t like neo soul, don’t write about it.

  • Film

    Sydney

    That’s true. I believe that anyone can sing, but how many performers can captivate the audience’s attention with pure emotion? That’s what I believe makes a natural, raw talent standout as a great singer than that of a mediocre one.

  • Sydney

    Film

    Yes, that would be a good concert!

    “I believe that anyone can sing, but how many performers can captivate the audience’s attention with pure emotion? That’s what I believe makes a natural, raw talent standout as a great singer than that of a mediocre one.”

    Very true. I definitely felt the emotion in her live performance. There’s a raw authenticity to her.

  • Film

    Sydney, Sydney . .

  • Sydney

    Film, Film. . .

    What’s up? :)

  • Film

    Sydney

    Oh, I was just wondering something. That’s all. :-)

  • Sydney

    What were you wondering? :)

  • Film

    Sydney

    What’s wrong with the brothas in the D.C. area? I think you know what I’m mentioning indirectly.

  • Sydney

    Hmmm, be more specific.

  • Film

    I’m shouldn’t have called you half-witted, even though I was only joking. With that being said, stop acting senile. You know what I’m saying.

  • Film

    I shouldn’t have. TYPO

  • Sydney

    LOL, I’m not acting senile — I would just like for you to be direct. :)

  • Film

    Ok, whatever you say Sydney.

    Why are you single?

  • Film

    Oh, and, you were acting senile.

  • Sydney

    LOL

    See, that wasn’t hard.

    Well, as you have been able to ascertain, I have a certain set of standards that I try to adhere to, and I don’t feel the need to give my time to just anyone. I’m focusing on myself, and I want to make good choices. There was a time when I jumped from relationship to relationship (in fact, people would tease me that I always had a man), and I was unhappy a lot of the time because I was with the wrong person. Does that make sense?

  • #10 on the Chinese meno w/no MSG

    Vivian Green is a very talented singer with a great deal of “Talent” Unfortunately, the trend at the moment is sex appeal as opposed to vocal performance and substance.

    I wonder if Bossip would have added a *Yawn* to most of the females whose vocal skills are absent and sing and rap about: materialism, sexual prowess,egotism and vulgarity!!

  • Film

    ‘Does that make sense?’

    Yes ma’am, it was crystal clear.

    And you set me up, but I knew.

  • Sydney

    LOL

    I set you up? You asked the question! :)

  • Film

    I know I asked the question, but I’m referring to you acting as if you’re mentally infirm. I’m saying, I knew what you wanted.

    ‘You asked the question!’

    Oh, I have more, but you already know that, right? Or are you absent-minded? :-)

  • http://www.youtube.com/theskorpionshow The Skorpion Show

    Come on bossip. Yall are wrong. This girl has the pipes. I’ve seen her live before and she killed it. Purchased both of her albums. They are great!!! I’ve been waiting on a new joint for a while now!!

  • Sepia830

    Vivian Green is the sh*t. Can’t wait for her new CD.

  • Film

    That’s what I thought. :-)

  • Sydney

    Film

    I got pulled away, smarty. :)

  • Film

    Are you attempting to throw insults my way? I mean, I already know I’m smart and all. Try again, Sydney.

    Can you sing?

    If you wanna go to the studio, bust a rhyme or two
    Uh, what ya wannna do, Uh what ya wanna do
    Bring a sack but I’m cool wit that I got the paper
    Stack and the pimped-out track got the song and
    It’s on, it’s on got the studio locked down all night long
    Woooooo . . .

  • Sydney

    LOL!

    I can’t sing as well as you, Mr. Micheaux. But I do enjoy listening. Continue, please. :)

    Follow me to the Bey thread, lol. I have to log off in a bit.

  • Film

    No, I only lead, sorry.

    That’s Erykah Badu’s lyrics, BTW.

  • Sydney

    I knew that, Smarty. *analog girl in a digital world*

    Where are you leading me? :)

    I’ve been in love with this songstress for years now. i think it’s been two years since her last album came out. I love her music because she sings about her experiences with such depth! i still play her last two albums! beautiful voice!

  • Nigga Said

    She is so sexy. I love her eyes.

  • mrs jones

    I love Vivian’s voice. She is such a talented singer. Looking forward to hearing some new stuff from her.

  • mrs jones

    I’m listening to “What is Love” right now. I love that song. My favorites from her 1st cd are “What is Love, Fanatic, Emotional Rollercoaster, Superwoman, Wishful Thinking. Man, that whole cd is good.

  • Nina

    Not a vivian green fan myself, her music never had quite enough soul in it for me and was a bit sappy and sorta sad…but I am a fan of “Neo-Soul” and all other good music…so i agree with those that said Bossip needs o get it together.

  • Jaye

    OMG! Where has Vivian been?

  • Raquel

    Bossip ya’ll be sellin out! What exactly do you mean yawn? If your going to display news you shouldn’t be one sided. What you don’t really care for shouldn’t display in an article. Things like music choices. It’s understood with murders and things of that nature but songs come on now. Be a little more empathetic to people’s situations. It’s 2009 not 1989.

  • YesPlease!

    Love Vivian Green! Girl can SING!!!

  • THE TRUTH

    I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING OF HER’S AGAIN. SHE CAME TO D.C. AND WAS DRINKING ON STAGE, SUNG 5 SONGS AND ROLLED OUT. I WAS PISSED! I THINK SHE WAS GOING THROUGH SOME RELATIONSHIP ISSUES AND THE TIME, BUT STILL NO EXCUSE TO DOG OUT YOUR FANS! DAMN LUSH!

  • brwnbarbie24

    I look forward to her new c.d. Sigh @ the “Yawn” comment.

  • The Cool

    Love her music!!!
