Solange IS more of an artist than those two because she writes her songs (and songs for others) and is doing something totally different from the **** those two are doing. She knows what she wants to be as an artist, while those two are trying to find themselves. I respect that more than Kelly trying to put together a hit after 20 other songs before flopped.

Why are we acting like Solange is some underrated, original artist? Of course she doesn't sound like anyone else... because she focused her sound around a decade -- that's why. It's not because she's "out of the box." Florence Welch is an artist, someone who creates their own genre and sets themselves apart while being original, Solange just rehashed the 60's. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed a few songs on "Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams," but I won't praise her for being inventive or "refreshing," because that's just not the case. She received the right amount of exposure for that album and deserved nothing more.
