I'm posting this as a result of the feedback that I got from a couple of people who responded to my comparison of Kelis and Grace Jones...
Completely unique and without contemporary peers, singer Kelis has managed to push the envelope in both her music and her image. No one looks like her, no one innovates like her, and currently no one understands what it is to be a "bad bitch" like her.
However...
Before there was Kelis Jones, there was...GRACE JONES!!! This chick is so bad, she gets her OWN post!!! Her "Grace Jones: One Man Show" concert video released in 1982 is STILL among the most visually arresting pieces of media out there. She has modelled, released CDs, appeared in movies, and become an international ICON of beauty. Take some Beverly Johnson, squeeze in some Larry Blackmon, a dab of Talking Heads, sprinkle some Annie Lennox, mix in some Alek Wek, make Jean Paule Goode's "special sauce" and you have the phenom known as GRACE.
Do you DARE deny her beauty?
