Lisa Fischer.  My God, she was one of the best all-time vocalists.  She had the credentials, singing background with industry greats.  And she had the beauty.  I think she could have dominated the nineties with Whitney and Mariah.  She was THAT good.

I will NEVER, EVER get over the fact she only released one album, won one Grammy, and went back to singing background. :loose2when: :loose2when: :loose2when: :loose2when: :loose2when:

This is old but Jean Carn is one of the best voices from the seventies and eighties.  Not sure how she slipped through the cracks and her name is not mentioned alongside Phyllis Hyman and Anita, but it's unfortunate.  She doesn't even have enough to sustain an Unsung episode.

The way she killed Mystic Stranger alone. :omgwatshappening:

I don't see how you can say someone who was once a Covergirl spokesmodel and sold over forty million records wasted their potential :dead:

Brandy has def' made some mistakes but  :ermm:

Yeah, Brandy was one of the biggest nineties stars.  I wouldn't include folks like Her or Usher.  They had success.  Wild success.

I'm talking more about people who will either never blow up, or didn't really try after one album or so.

Ugh GODdette :stressed:


Soooo much potential was there.  Back in the early 2000s, people were comparing her beauty to Beyonce's.  She is gorgeous, has a pretty voice, and could have slayed the decade.  She could have revived a career with R&B Divas, but no. :butim16robert:

D.I.E.G.O.

Chante Moore...not sure what went wrong with her

Yes, D'Angelo.  I just don't get it.  He had everyone, including white pop fans, salivating after How Does It Feel.  I guess it was too much pressure.

Jay Electronica was a complete waste.  He had ALL this hype about ten years ago, all these industry co-signs.  He never released an album, mixtape, or an official single.  All he managed to do is knock up Erykah.  :omgwatshappening:
