Babyface Throws Some Hilarious Shade with Toni Braxton Impression in "Waiting to Exhale" Promo Video!



Update VIDEO ADDED: If you're going to "write" a song for Toni Braxton, apparently you need to hold water in your mouth while you sing and play your instrument according to Babyface. In a hilarious video promoting the May 24th "Waiting to Exhale" soundtrack celebration on Instagram Live, the singer/songwriter did a Toni Braxton impression while singing "Let It Flow"!

Babyface said this:

First, you need a glass of water. I prefer bottled water but in a pinch, I will use tap water. Second, take a sip and swallow. But, leave a little at the bottom of your mouth. This way, they won't completely understand the words you're singing. Third, sing with lots of emotion. I don't know...like say somebody just stole your brand new puppy." 

Smh, you're not right, Babyface! 🤣

Afterward, the producer sings in his Toni Braxton voice! Too funny. Braxton and Babyface have a long musical history together. Braxton's debut album "Toni Braxton" was on LaFace Records owned by Babyface and LA Reid. Through the years, they have collaborated on a number of songs. In 2014, Babyface and Toni Braxton released the album Love, Marriage, and Divorce. 


Braxton's sister Tamar also got in on the action in another video when she also sang "Let It Go" in her best Toni Braxton voice. In our opinion, she nailed it! She deemed it the Toni Braxton Challenge.

It's all love!
The iconic "Waiting to Exhale" soundtrack which was written and produced by Babyface debuted on November 14, 1995.

In 1997, it won a Grammy for Best Song "Shoop, Shoop" by the late great Whitney Houston and written by Babyface.

Aborigines and Melanesians: Naturally Blonde Hair and Dark Skin

Melanesia: Solomon Island girls (photo courtesy of the -cropped-Flickr- Australian Civil-Military Centre http://www.acmc.gov.au/ ) Naturally blonde hair is often associated with white or Caucasian people. However, there are groups of dark skin people who have naturally blonde hair also. Some of these groups include the Aboriginal Australians (Aborigines) and the Melanesians. I love this fact because it goes against the idea that one group or culture must look a certain way or stay in a certain category.  The Aborigines have dark skin. Some of them also have blonde hair which tends to be straight, but can be curly. Scientists first believed they were descendants of Eurasians. In 2011, scientists found evidence against the theory from a sample of natural hair. The sample of hair, which was said to be more than 100 years old, helped scientists determine that Aborigines were descendants of Africans. The New York Times confirmed this finding: "The Abo...

1BlessedNatural: Sheryl Underwood Wears Natural Hair and Apologizes on The Talk (photo cred: CBS/The Talk) Yesterday, comedian and talk show host, Sheryl Underwood wore her natural hair onstage of the talk show, The Talk. She received a round of applause, and Sharon Osbourne commented that her Teenie Weenie Afro (TWA) was gorgeous. Underwood explained to her fellow co-hosts and audience that she'd done something wrong 2 years ago when she spoke against the actions of Heidi Klum for keeping her sons' Afro hair in a bag as a keepsake. She said the hair was "nasty." Underwood received backlash for her words, especially from the Black community. They were viewed as examples of self-hatred among other things. On Monday's episode of The Talk Sheryl Underwood apologized a second time for her 2013 statement by saying this: I made some statements that were not only wrong, they hurt our community. When I say, "our community," I mean Black ...

Priscilla Shirer Shares Her Natural Hair Story and Tips on IG Live!

Actress and minister of Going Beyond Ministries Priscilla Shirer shared her natural hair story and secrets on IG Live today. After receiving numerous questions about her long thick natural hair, she decided it was time to do a video. Shirer said, "I've decided that sometimes, to a woman, hair = ministry." Shirer started getting a perm at about 13 years old. During previous years, her mother would use the hot comb to straighten her hair. When Shirer was 24 years old, she noticed a circular patch of hair that had broken off on the side of her head. After she visited a doctor and they plucked a few strands from different parts of her hair, the doctor concluded that Shirer's hair was growing in healthy. However, it was something that she was doing to her hair that was making it break off. As a result, her doctor told her to stop relaxing her hair for 6 months. While driving home, Shirer had a breakthrough. She originally had no intention of following the doctor...
