Blind Item #3
This former one hit wonder from the early 90's with some weird punctuation in her name has now been reduced to working as a street hooker. Everytime she is arrested for prostitution she brings up her hit song and thinks it will get her off or that someone will be impressed.

Des'ree?
Sad!!! She must be an addict too. Hope she gets help !
same guess as KLM.
Pity it's Des'ree . what happened to her during all these years. Happy thanksgiving Enty and all the yanks, from Europe
Damn shame. Happy thanksgiving!
Yep, I think KLM is right on, sadly. What a shame.
OT Happy Thanksgiving to Americans! Especially Supapimp who I'm thankful for, the happiness is bouncing off the site from you! :))
The "you gotta be" lady? Really? My power anthem song?
NO! Really?
Nooo! I hope it's not Des'ree, just Googled her and not much (new) came up, though she seems pretty down to Earth in interviews. But wait, is she a one hit wonder? She had a few songs out other than Gotta Be, right?
No! "You gotta be" was one of my anthems too!
Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Americans and a big thanks to all the others who make this site so damn marvelous from French Girl and the saucy folks from OZ. And we have folks from South America too right?
Can I hijack a thread and have everyone do an identification of their location? Anyone want to join in?
Belmont, CA US
Indianapolis, IN here :)
Covington KY
I googled "one hit wonders from the 90's" and the other name that comes up that has "weird punctuation" is A'me Lorain (song: "Whole Wide World" from True Love). I don't remember the song, but there you go.
Calgary, AB, America's Hat!
Philadelphia, PA (suburban area, but close enough)..........;-)
It's not Des'Ree. She had 2 platinum albums, she has a current website and does studio work up in Canada.

bjork?
Austin, TX. Happy T'day, y'all!
Des'Ree wasn't a One Hit Wonder.
Checked out http://www.onehitwondercentral.com/90s.cfm
A'Me Lorain (Whole Wide World)
K.P.& Envyi (Swing My Way) K.P. maybe?
I don't consider either of those really popular enough to use it
Scotland UK :)
I'm in Rochester MN for the holiday but most of the time I'm posting from Dallas TX! Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!
Hi @Sher! Happy Thanksgiving back to you and everyone else. Sherry knows this already, I'm in Seattle, Washington. And I'm drinking coffee RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT :)
Seattle, WA here. Though technically, my current location is in the sky somewhere above Colorado
thank you TSAP, I would have a serious case of the bummed's if that was her.

Portland, OR
Blessing and Graditude to you Sherry! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Hope you can get some donuts while you're in town ;)
Me too, fancy!
Sinéad O'Connor? lol.
Valleyfield, Quebec is where I live. I'm from Scarborough, though.
Happy thanksgiving, all!
I almost got a serious case of the sads thinking it was Des'Ree.
Hollywood, Ca.
@Erin... well howdy! (Waves)
doesn't surprise me, we....are....EVERYWHERE! LOL
;-) Happy Thanksgiving, Erin
Waterford, Ireland Happy Thanksgiving.
San Antonio, Tejas ;) happy thanksgiving!
Thx you. Have a safe happy thanksgiving. :)
Thankful it is not des'ree, and happy thanksgiving to all of you, from Alameda, CA!
Robin S. (I always found it weird that she just didn't go by Robin Stone) - "Show Me Love". Wiki says she had 3 dance hits, but digging in, it looks like they are remixes of the same song. She lives in Georgia now, and there is an online petition to convince some record company to bring her back, which sounds to me like she's hit hard times.
Southern West Virginia!
Happy thanksgiving all!!
For some reason I thought Lil' Kim.
Seattle, WA also drinking my latte! :)
Wasn't there M'chele D something ...
Me'Shell Ndegéocello
Was it early 90's?
Me'Shell Ndegéocello is still recording and influential in that genre of music.
YAy guys! Keep 'em coming. Waves to Em.
West Palm Beach, Florida here! And it's depresslingly warm.
No guess, but representing Scandinavia from Stockholm, Sweden. :)
No idea but also glad is not Des're.
Happy Thanksgiving to all from New York City! (I heard myself saying this like a beauty pageant contestant...lol)
Carmel California, and it's a balmy 68 or so!
So sad that this singer has gone in this direction with her life. Can't she get regular work? The only reason for someone to turn to this profession is because they have a drug problem. It's the only way to feed a very expensive habit, she could always work as a waitress or something if she's willing to make normal people wages.
This post reminds me... I haven't noticed @nolachickee here lately... anyone know if she's okay?
*waves back to Sher*
@dia: Celebrating on Saturday, quick trip down then. No time for VooDoo :(
Very cool to hear where everyone's from!
Dublin ireland, happy thanksgiving to all x
M'shelle Ndegeocello & M' chelle where two diff ppl. M'chelle had that annoying nasal voice when she spoke. Shes my guess.
She still tours tho'. Happy thanksgiving
San Francisco, CA. Happy thanksgiving
Not me'shelle. She and dr dre have a child together and she living pretty good off those child support checks.
Michel'le but doesn't she have kids by Dr. Dre AND Suge Knight? Would she need to hook?
The only song that I know of by Des'ree is You gotta Be and that was released in 1994. I'm going with her for this one. I can't think of any big hits by the other weird punctuation names. Is she touring full time? Maybe hooks part-time?
Happy thanksgiving ya'll from Southern California...(Los Angeles)
No idea but happy thanksgiving from the Northern Bay area of California!
Scarborough, Top of the Food Chain!
Wow Michel'le does have kids by Dre & Sug Knight! Girl gets around! Couldn't find any info on her touring still. This may or may not be her. Now I have her song stuck in my head(doo dee doo doo dee doo)
Hej hej Profetissan!
T'pau
Des'ree also had that "Life, oh life. Oh, life. Doo doot doot doo" single later in the '90. And also "What's your sign" around 1998
Mississauga, Ontario, Camnada
Unknown, T'Pau was my first thought as the lead singer (someone Decker?) took the name and still performs from what I can gather. Plus she must be pushing 60. Which wouldn't rule her out, but ewwwwwww.
I've never posted, but have lurked for about 2 years. Happy thanksgiving from Bellingham, Washington!
Dublin Ireland also! Happy thanksgiving to all in the US!
No idea! Calling in from Limburg, Netherlands here. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
