Keyshia Cole on the front of Essence


I love Keyshia Cole and she looks hot with little make up on the cover as Essence. She cleans up well. Hot article and Keyshia talks about being compared to Mary J. Blige


ESSENCE: How do you feel about constantly being compared to Mary J. Blige?


COLE: I feel like we are very similar based on everything we’ve been through in our personal lives. It’s helped make us sing the way we sing. Because she didn’t have a vocal coach, and neither did I. And when I met her I told her, “You winning all those Grammy’s—congratulations—it gives me inspiration to this day that maybe I can do the same thing.” You know, it’s just a real big life circle. I think there are a lot of things that she could tell me that’d help me. I’m not trying to take nobody’s place or nothing like that. But I’m just saying, as a woman—as a young Black woman—if she knows some of the answers, Give ’em to me!” (Laughing.) But she said that I could call her anytime. I just haven’t done it yet.


Pick up the October issue of Essence to read the article in it's entirety.
