LETOYA PLANNING ON RELEASING HER NEW ALBUM IN…2012? UPDATE: NO
by COMMON on Feb.01, 2011, under NEWS
UPDATE! Before reading this post it is worth noting that LeToya already confirmed on twitter that LeToyaOnline gave a FALSE information.
Hell to the no! According to LeToyaOnline (who claims nothing can get more “official” than themselves, YEAH RIGHT!), they announced yesterday January 31th that LeToya will release her new album “hopefully” early 2012. LeToya is known for taking her time when recording music but if this is true this is becoming straight ridiculous. While other artists like Rihanna manage to release a great album AND put out a worldwide tour every year, LeToya is averaging 3 years in between albums.In this time and age of the industry I don’t think it is the wisest thing to do. She started recording this album at the end of 2009. I don’t mean to rush her but come on, she knows that people are DEMANDING new music from her. Every other message she’s receiving on twitter is about when is she releasing new music. When you’re still trying to establish your name you can’t be waiting this long and let yourself be forgotten from the public eye. People are starving for new music from her but she can’t deliver. I’m quite unsure what the problem is. I see five possible reasons:
[POLL] LATOYA? LETOYA WHO? OR LETOYA LUCKETT?
by COMMON on Jan.26, 2011, under LETOYANEWS FEATURES, MISC.

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.
MY DREAM LETOYA CONCERT
by COMMON on Jan.05, 2011, under LETOYANEWS FEATURES

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.
LeToya on Same-Sex Marriage: “It’s Going to Happen. Everybody Deserves Love”
by COMMON on Aug.31, 2009, under NEWS, PRESS
For some reason I always thought she was very convervative and was against gay marriage. (you know she’s a church girl so…) . I know I AM (against marriage in general – not just gay. It’s just a piece of paper that don’t mean shit to me). In the meantime I know she has friends who are very flamboyant so it’s another proof that she’s open minded. Anyway she proves me wrong in this interview she gave to Rodonline.
Here is their article:
David Michael Conner at The Advocate publishes an amazing interview with LeToya Luckett, one of the founding members of Destiny’s Child. The Houston native chats up her new album Lady Love and the hot track “She Ain’t”—which she says she “knew the kids would love”—and says attitudes toward gays are changing in the South.
Absolutely. Ab-so-lutely. It’s one of those things that’s like, you know what, you’ve got to let people be who they are. Whether you agree with a lifestyle or not, you have to let that person be who they are. You have to love them for who they are.
I just went to the Latex Ball in New York. Oh, my God! I have never seen so much creativity in one room. So much freedom. That’s what I appreciate about the gay community. You know: Do you and don’t worry about other people and their opinions. It’s so colorful and lively, and everybody’s not sitting around and — you know when you go to a club and everybody’s sitting around and standing along the walls and people watch? It’s not about that. Everybody [at gay clubs] is ready to let their hair down and have fun and get into it, and that’s about love.
I hadn’t had that much fun in a long time. A lo-o-ong time. I mean, they were givin’ it, Honey! Gi-ving. And I love that. I love it. I can’t stand hateful people. I can’t stand hard-hearted people, and unfortunately there’s a lot of people like that in this world, and it’s got to die. Let it die, let it die, let it die. Let love live.
Luckett says that she believes same-sex marriage will “eventually happen” in her native Texas. “Or people are going to move and go to places where it’s accepted. I don’t know if it’ll happen tomorrow, but whatever is in God’s will, it will be. Hey, everybody deserves love. Everybody deserves commitment. And why shouldn’t the gay community have that?”
She might be onto something about attitudes slowly changing in Texas. A brand new poll released this morning by 11 News/KUHF Houston Public Radio shows openly lesbian Houston City Controller Annise Parker “leads her main opponents in the race to become the city’s next mayor.”

[WATCH] LeToya spreadin’ dem legs and working that ass!
by COMMON on Aug.09, 2009, under LETOYANEWS FEATURES, LIVE PERFORMANCES

If you’re reading this site, chances are that you’re either:
- a LeToya fan
- a potential new (future) LeToya fan
- a website/blog owner who’s coming to get content to update your site
- an industry insider
- a friend of mine
- a student who’s writing a thesis about LeToya
- one of my stalkers (erase my phone numba already!)
- or maybe just a compulsive hater who wanna hurt him(her)self (aka Beyonce/Ashanti fan for example).
The goal today is to expand answer #1. and maybe #5 (cause I need new friends too).
The best music marketing books will teach you this about expanding a fanbase: “Word of mouth” is the easiest way to promote yourself. Five persons will tell people about this hot artist they love. Then these five new people will spread the word to another five. Each of these 25 new people will then talk about it to another five each, etc… Which makes it 155. Before you know it, you got millions of people checking out on that new hot artist. Everybody then jump on the bandwagon and you get a trend. This was a quote from this book called “Music business secrets, Not an easy husle” by Pimp LaQuiqui Jr. (RIP LaQuiQui you will be missed)
We are about 2 weeks away from this album we’ve all been waiting for patiently for 3 years. It is time You/LeToya fan converts as many people as you can into new fans of Miss LeToya Muthafuckin’ Luckett.
I am offering you a tool right here right now which will greatly help you in your task. This useful prop is a performance she did about a year ago. When watching it, there is absolutely no excuse to not fall in love with her and turn into one of her fans. If you’re don’t, you must either be blind, deaf or retarded. Forward it to as many people as you can… and make sure they watch it.
This performance is just awesome and showcases her swag and her amazing personality. Watch her spreadin’ dem legs and workin’ that ass! Walking in the grass, singing to the camera. Singing “Love”. The whole thing is just fantastic! (And yes I put part 2 before part 1 cause I like it better!)
Hopefully by watching this people will stop sleeping on her. We need to get this album to #1 with a strong first week sale. (personal note to LeToya: tell TR to hurry up I’m still waiting for my last week’s check for the promo, wussup with capitol!)

Good girl gone bad – “Lady Love” is getting the Parental Advisory sticker!
by COMMON on Aug.05, 2009, under NEWS
YAAAAY! It’s officially official. Us/”bad uneducated people” will be able to enjoy “Lady Love” with the “FUCKINGS”, “SHITS”, “HOES”, “BITCHES”, “NIGGAS”, “ASSES’, “PUSSIES AND DICKS” over and over again! Whohooooo! LONG LIVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH!! AND FUCK THE POLITICALLY CORRECT! We live in a free country as far as I know. By the way I was kidding for the last five words. I don’t think she’s using them lol.
Note to my “Responsible parents”: Don’t worry, a clean version without all these “bad” words will also be available since you believe your kids don’t know them and shouldn’t be aware of their existence. So naive… Isn’t this world hypocrite as hell?
