2011 that is. The year of LeToya’s comeback. After the “Lady Love” era has been mishandled we hope that this time around things will be taken care of properly and that LeToya will get the shine she deserves. Tired of her being the underrated underdog. Let me share with you and LeToya (I know you’re reading this )  things I want her to do in 2011 for the new era to be a SUCCESS.

1. GOOD MUSIC

This is an easy one. While we’re all aware that today’s music is just horrible, I know I can trust LeToya to deliver great quality music. I just hope she doesn’t jump on the electro bandwagon. She needs to stay AWAY from it. (I’m fine with Dance remixes though). She needs to keep it urban pop. I don’t mind a few pure pop songs like “She Aint Got”.

Also I like how she’s using her voice in “Regret” and ‘Single”. Soft and Confident. She found her niche right there so I hope to hear her singing that way more.

I hope the new album will have five uptempos (3 urbans and 2 pops), five midtempos, 2 power ballads and 2 sex songs. All R&B, UrbanPop and I could see her trying some Soul (Jazmine Sullivan/Melanie Fiona type, not the whole album though, Toya is a contemporary R&B artist not Soul)

Uptempos

You know how people tend to remove female singers’s last name. You have those that came out with a last name but people tend to just call them by their first name: Mariah, Janet, Britney, Christina, Keri, etc… You already know that it’s Carey, Jackson, Spears, Aguilera and Hilson.

You have those that came out without a last name but we all know what it is: Brandy (Norwood), Beyonce (Knowles), Ciara (Harris), Ashanti (Douglas), Rihanna (Fenty) and so on.

And then you have LeToya. LeToya LeToya hmmm. The girl was known in Destiny’s child as “LeToya” and then she came out as a solo artist as “LeToya”. But for some reason people not only love to misspell it “Latoya” or “La Toya” but 90% of the time they will add her last name “Luckett” (Usually misspelled as Tuckett, Bucket, Lockett, Lucket or Luckette). So on twitter you’ll come across to a lot of something like “OMG I’m totally in love with this Good To Me song by La toyah Tokkette”. (True story!). And we all know that one case when Wireimage called her “Gloria Tucket”. If there was an award for most misspelled artist’s name in history she would definitely win it hands down.

We always see LeToya singing about 2 to maximum 5 songs whenever she’s out performing. I want to hear proper real performances of many of her songs that didn’t get that treatment. “Lazy”, “Over”, “Hey Fella”, “Obvious”, “Good To Me”, “Dont Need you”, “I Need A U”, “Say My Name”, etc. Rings a bell? She must be one of the few artists who dont take advantage of their catalog. Trey Songz became so big because all he’s been doing is touring, touring and touring. Something we don’t see LeToya do besides a few performances here and there.

I want a REAL 5 star two-hour concert from LeToya. Something very visual like superstars like Usher, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Beyonce, Madonna, Mary J Blige, Alicia Keys, etc… do. I can picture LeToya reading this and thinking right now: “WTF I’m not of the caliber of these artists.” Yes girl YOU ARE! You are what you believe you are. If you don’t believe it yourself first you never will be. What do you think made Kanye West, Lady Gaga and all the artists mentioned above so successful? They don’t underestimate themselves. Sometimes I feel like only her fans see how much of a star she is and she can be. She and the people around her don’t realize how much HUGE potential she has. Trust me I don’t stan for wack artists and if I stan for LeToya there is a reason.

Phew this has been a busy year. Even though LeToya didn’t release new music (because she’s been recording in the studio) she stayed on everybody’s tongue. Between a new endorsement deal with Luster, 2 movies released (Being the star of “Preacher’s Kid” and a role in “Killers” with Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl), another film and show shot (“From the Rough” with Taraji P Henson & Tom Felton + an HBO series) and killing dem red carpets Toya has definitely made a name for herself.

The reunion with Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland and the new friendship found in Michelle Williams were also exciting moments. I still remember when LeToya fans used to complain back in the days with the lack of communication, everything was so secretive and she was just disappearing. All that have changed in 2010 with the existence of Twitter, Ustream and LeToyaNews. LeToya is actively taking advantage of these new services to keep the fans posted on what’s going on…. and we love it.

What are your favorite LeToya 2010 memories?

LeToya is about to have her comeback in the music scene soon. New era means new image/new hairstyle. Even though I realize LeToya is trying to please people by switching it up, one of the #1 complain I still hear the most is that LeToya is “always rocking the same hairstyle”.

Actually she’s got 3 signature hairstyles. She’s got the “Torn/She Ain’t Got hair” (click on it to see), the straight hair a la Aaliyah (my favorite) and she’s got that horrendous curly hair (please don’t do this one ever again). She also had that Victoria Beckham hair during the Lady Love era. I also loved the big hair a la black barbie/black Aubrey Oday she had on Diddy’s video.

I received several emails bringing this to my attention and I think it’s worth addressing. LeToya’s video count views on YouTube went dramatically down making her look like a new wannabe artist with little success. Her video “Not Anymore” for example went from about 2 Million and a half views to a ridiculous 106,000. A mess! Let me explain to you what happened…

We’ve been receiving a lot of emails asking us why we’re not promoting “Good To Me”(G2M) yet and why the “Operation Good To Me” hasn’t started yet. The common question is “Rihanna’s Rude boy video was released the same day as G2M and is now #1 in the US, Why isn’t such a good song as G2M not charting AT ALL?”. I think it is very important to communicate with the fans and not let them wondering so this is why I contacted LeToya’s management with three questions:

1) Is Capitol (or MBK Management) servicing radios? (Are they sending the mothafreaking song?)

2) Did they send the video to BET and other majors? (MTV, MTV Jams, iTunes, Yahoo Music,…)

3) It is worth for us (LNN) to use our energy and time to engage the fans to request the song?

Here is the answer :

Watch “Killers” Movie Trailer with Ashton Kutcher, Tom Selleck, Katherine Heigl and LeToya Luckett. Toya doesn’t appear in this trailer though… but it gives an idea of what the movie is about. It is scheduled to be released June 4th, 2010.

Movie Description: Spencer Aimes is just your average, undercover, government-hired super-assassin accustomed to a life of exotic European locales, flashy sports cars and even flashier women. But when he meets Jen Kornfeldt, a beautiful, fun-loving computer tech recovering from a bad break-up, he finds true love…and happily trades international intrigue for domestic bliss. Three years later, Spencer and Jen are still enjoying a picture-perfect marriage – that is, until the morning after Spencer’s 30th birthday. That’s when Spencer and Jen learn he’s the target of a multi-million dollar hit. Even worse, the hired killers have been stalking the happy couple for years, and could be anyone: friends, neighbors, the grocery store clerk, even that crabby old guy shuffling across the street. Now Spencer and Jen are on the run for their lives. As their suburban paradise turns into a paranoid game of dodge-the-bullet, they must find out who wants Spencer dead and why, all the while trying to save their marriage, manage his pain-in-the-ass in-laws, keep up neighborly appearances…and just plain survive.
