Once upon a time, I fantasized about trading lives with Bonnie Raitt. I adored everything about her looks, her voice, and the way she came across in interviews. Unfortunately, I have trouble daydreaming about anything that doesn't have at least one pinky toe in reality, so it bothered me that the object of my adoration was not black. Then, I discovered Jill Scott.
It is difficult for me to verbalize what I like about Jill Scott. Her music takes my breath away. It is sensual without being vulgar. The first time I heard "A Long Walk", I wanted to go make out with my husband in the grass somewhere. Her songs are jazz and poetry and R & B in the most delectable mix you can imagine.
Jill Scott's physical bearing is regal without being off-putting. Her singing voice has incredible range, while her soft speaking voice only hints at its strength. No matter what she is talking about, the sound of her voice embodies the good feelings that I get from many of my favorite things: cotton skirts in springtime, backrubs from my husband, dark chocolate. Then there is her beauty. Look at that face! Who wouldn't want to wake up one morning and look like that? Beyond her natural good looks, she gives me hope that I can be attractive right now at my current size. Jill Scott has definitely dethroned Bonnie Raitt as my fantasy replacement.

Jill Scott's music is amazing. My daughter saw her in concert in Paris three or four years ago.
I had such a difficult time expressing how Jill Scott affects me. Her songs are poetry; the lyrics would sing whether there was music behind them or not. Even though I can't sing, she is the vision of what I thought I was going to grow up to be one day.
I'm going to have to go and check her out! I'm always on the look for new artists.
I have never heard of her or her music but I will definitly check her out.. she is gorgeous as well!
Jill Scott is fierce! "Golden" is on regular rotation on my iPod.
I'm sure you are equally as fierce!
