I would like to compliment Erykah on her accomplishments and her strengths. It is so hard for women to survive in this industry today, especially being a black woman. Erykah is raising her family and most importantly keeping the fathers apart of their kids lives, and that is so detrimental in raising our children today. I tip my hat off to her and pray she continues to stay strong and determined in the music industry,

It seems nowadays, we can't have a relationship without having children. The media makes it seems okay if you have money you can have as many baby daddies as you want. I like Erykah's music, but what is she teaching the young ladies out here that are listening to her "positive music".

Wow. What does "very spiritual" mean? There's a lot of "spirits" out there. Ms Badu has every right to live her life, as we all do. Fans turning her into a "role model" sounds like a mistake to me. As black families disappear more and more, being replaced by the "visiting dad syndome" we need to be very careful who we raise to the model pedestal. Sometimes being unashamed of what you do only means that discipline is lacking in your life. I'm not sure if this applies to Ms. Badu or not. If you like her music, thats great. How

I like the soul and sound of Erykah Badu's music. I can't say that I love all of her music because I haven't heard it all but "You Better Call Tyrone" was one of my favorites. Her soulful drawl and music is cool and she's an artist! Her style shows a sense of creativity and pride. I also admire her "baby, Seven's daddy" Andre, because he has the same type of pride and style. (I hoped that they would stay together, but that's life) They're different and not ashmed to be who they are, they don't try tobe anyone else, but

Am I the only one that thinks that there is something wrong with Erykah Badu? That woman is sick in the head!!! I don't believe that she loved all of her ex-boyfriends. It's impossible to fall in love that many times!! And how many baby daddies does she have!!

I love Erykah Badu, but sorry I think your article has neglected to profile her as an artist first and mother, beauty queen second. Being a female musician myself I crave to read how women create their art-isn't this just as important for women as for men?
