“The Real Thing” is.. my lifetime thus far…from the last time you heard from me to this time… this is all the ongoing saga of the original question, “Who Is Jill Scott?”

I’m an artist and I’m figuring it out as I go.

  1. May I quote your recent Essence magazine article?
    You say you “wince”, “feel an inner pinch”, “a sting, like a mosquito under a summer dress”, “betrayed”, “frustrated and hurt” when you see a black man with a white woman!?

    As a African American AND White woman (from a white mother and a black father) I take offense to your recent article. You should be ashamed of yourself!

    Thank you for writing the article, now I know you are a blatant racist.

  2. I could listen to Jill Scott all day and all night, I love her soul , her band and the way they “groove” together.

  3. I saw on Philadelphia TV that you will be performing at the Wachovia Center in June and bought tickets instantly. Can’t wait to see you and hear your voice.
    God Bless!

  10. Just want to send my Love to Jill Scott………I think your Awesome, Beautiful, Soulful…………You are a woman’s woman…….Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!! I had know little about you, until I started watching ” The No.1 Detective Agency ” on HBO….since then I have bought all of your cd’s…..your music is so great.

  11. Jill –

    I’ve loved your music for so many year (I was also a professional musician who worked with artists like Smokey Robinson, the Pointer Sisters, Ashford & Simpson, amonst many others, before I became totally and permanently disabled in 1997). My wife got me to watch “Why Did I Get Married?”–and your performance with Tyler Perry was an absolute revelation!

    But it was your HBO film, and then series, of “The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency” that truly brought out your artistry as one of the most luminary actresses of our generation. At the end of the penultimate episode, when the HBO voice-over artist announced (paraphrasing), “Here are scenes from the season-finale of ‘The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency,’” my wife and I simultaneously said to each other “Season finale? Already?!”

    I remember reading in “TV Guide” that a question was posed of Matt Roush if a second season was ordered for “No. 1″ and the answer was the BBC and HBO hadn’t decided yet.

    Is that still the situation? Please tell me that the two networks have, and that the answer is YES! We so DO need quality television, especially family television like “No 1.” We need to see Precious (and she is so aptly named) get remarried and be finally happy in married to a humble man who will respect her.

    We need another season in beautiful Botswana. We need another season of your wonderful supporting cast including the phenomenal Anika Noni Rose. But most of all, we need another season of
    ** JILL SCOTT ** !!

  12. STL IS ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THE RETURN OF MISS JILL SCOTT. WE ARE PREPARED TO BE BLOWN AWAY ONCE AGAIN. JILL SCOTT LIVE IN CONCERT IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS!!!

  13. My daughter Jasmine introduced me to your music. She too does poetry and incorporates her poems into music. I hope someday she can be as good. You are her inspiration. Thank you, Sadiejane

  14. Hey Jill I love all the woman that you are.The best thing that I love about you is the way yo carry your self as a woman and a child of god now and before you became a great mom.Jill what ever it is that your doing I wish you could teach it to me.What i mean is the way you love you meaning inside and out.Every since ive been a woman ive always wanted to change me ive never been able to love the body that god gave me even if he just loaned it to me for a little while.All this not loving my self didnt come until i met my kids father and all my love for myself went out the window but its woman like you and monique that sometimes help me to get out my shell.Well enough about me I hope but also know that God is going to keep blessing you and your son and maybe one day ill get the chance to have a talk to you to help me become a better woman .Love Peace and Hair Grease

  15. Jill, I love every interview, song, album, poem, television series, and movie you have done. There is no other artist like you. Music Fans have been searching for someone of your caliber for quite a while. I am a recent college graduate about to begin greaduate school. I am also a social worker and have an amazing boyfriend. I mention this to say: Almost everyone I know (clients, family, friends, students, collegues) is a huge fan of yours. The music, the poetry, lyrical style and dedication to positivity and creativity have blown me away. My best friend and I watch your lastest made for tv movie on Lifetime. Awesome!

  18. Dear Jill,

    I can not begin to describe how blow away I am by your performance in The No1 Ladies Detective Agency! I have actually read all of the books by Alexander McCall Smith, and could not have pictured a more perfect and more believable person to star as Precious Ramotswe!

    I hope there will be much more in the future, and wish you all the best in 2010!

    Much love,
    Jessica.

    Ps. Send my regards to Mr J.L.B Matekoni! ;)

    Vanna

  24. Jill,

    First I want want o say that you are my most favorite of all artist. I’m not a groupie nor am I inclined to write fan letters, it’s just that I’m about to turn 50 (in 2011) and for my big celebration I want to do great things and be surrounded by the people of my life that mean the most. That’s why I’m getting married for my big 50 and to top it all off, my wedding is going to be a concert that I’m giving for myself, future husband, family and close friend. I know you get request all the time to perform for people but I’m more than serious about hiring you to be apart of my special day. You are worth me going into my 401k for (ha, ha). My go is to be the happiest that my wildest dreams or mind can imagine. I believe i deserve it and i’m going to do all I can to make it happen.

  25. Love is a game btwn the heart and the mind.
    winning it depends on your abillity to feel it before wanting to see it but even then, love is not seen.
    I fell you Jill.

    You Fill me when i feel empty.
    Be More, be Peace.

  26. How can i forget,”love your smile.

  27. saw your music videos on vh1.ur fantastic.like the passion u portrayed in the movie “y did i get married” am praying for u,that u have health & continued success in 2010.Love.Greg
    ” Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”(Matt 5:16)

  28. I first discovered you when I fell in love with the No. 1 Detective Ladies Agency. Then I saw Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married. I was blown away. I didn’t find out about your singing until my brother-in-law told me. I’ve become an instant fan of both your acting and singing. Thank you for sharing your talents for all to enjoy.

  29. Dear Jill, I never thought I would be the type of person to write one of these letters, but sometimes therea re things in our lives that weight so heavily on us to speak about, that we can do nothing but speak on them. I have always been a fan of your work in all of its many forms. Im sure you hear that every day, but whay you may not hear every day is how your work litterally saved my life. For the better part of 20 years I have struggled with bipolar disorder and survived many things including two suicide attempts. No matter what medicine I took, or how many therapists I went to, it just seemed like everything always stayed the same, and that nothing would ever get better. Then one random night when I was feeling pretty low, I was messing around on youtube and decided to search “jill scott” to maybe get a little pick me up. I clicked on the song hate on me, and even though I had heard it a dozen times before, for some reason it sounded different this time. I didn’t just hear the words, I felt them, and in a moment I can only describe as divine, it felt as if someone had just wiped away all the clouds from around my eyes and I could actually see things with a clarity I had never had before. I realized that my whole life I had been tyring to make others happy, thinking that id I could give them what they want, they might love and care for me in return. I also realized that for some people, no matter what you give them, it well never be enough-ever. It seemed like such a simple lesson, something we have heard and been taught a thousand times over, but there is also a difference between hearing something and believing it. I have now come to realize that it is not selfish for me to want to be happy, and I am not a failure if I cant make others happy. For the first time that I could remember, I felt as if things might be ok, and when you live your live with no hope, “ok” seems like the most wonderful thing in the world. I know it would have been only a matter of time before I succeeded in taking my own life, and I owe it to your and your wonderful work for giving me something to live fore and a new outlook on life. I pray every day that you and yours are blessed by love and light and that you never forget the power you have to make an impact.
    Most Sincerly,
    Steven Pittenger

    Ms. Jill Scott

    Dear Ms. Scott,

    My name is D’ceita Daniels and I’m a freshman at Heritage High School in Conyers, Georgia. I’m not the “biggest” fan, but I am a fan of your movies, poetry and music. You are one of few people that I look up to and admire. On behalf of my literature class, I am writing this letter to you to ask for a signed picture of you or a letter/note expressing how you feel about literature, whether it’s about your favorite book, why you enjoy reading or what about books you like. It’s to support our Literature Campaign at school.

    The campaign is one that encourages schools to continue reading books all over! I am asking you for your support with it also. So far, we’ve made cookies, thrown book swapping parties, made tons of posters, composed songs, created fan clubs and websites and even made videos. It would be nice to add along to the list of accomplishments that we got a celebrity such as yourself to help.

    Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and I would really appreciate it and be thankful if you helped. If you don’t, I understand that you’re a busy person and may not have the time to respond. Also, one more thing that I ask you is to continue being the person you are and giving good advice to girls like me. Out in this crazy place we call our home, just know some of us are listening!!

    Sincerely,

    D’ceita Daniels

    p.s.please write back to the adress above

  37. Hello,

    Im a huge fan of Jill Scott! I have every one of her CD’s and keep them on heavy rotation on my IPod. I am an artist, and I listen to her everytime i paint. I would love to put one of Miss Scotts songs on my website as people view my artwork. I really would love to use “Easy Conversation”. I am writting because I like to get permission to use her song out of respect of the artist. I am not sure of the proper channels to go thru or who to speak with. If you could put me in contact with the right person I would greatly, greatly appreciate it!

    Sincerely
    James S Utley

  42. Ms.Jill,
    You’re music has been such a blessing in my life! You’re voice is INCREDIBLE!! The first time I heard “The Fact Is” it brought me to tears. You’re word’s touch me deep. Women go through so much, and you sing us through it! LOL! You love God, and I see him in you! Congrat’s on your little blessing! Don’t EVER stop Jill, you are sooo loved!! I MUST see you live!!

  48. I read that Ms. Scott is going to be in Barbados for the Jazz fesstival in 2010. I wish I could go. Unfortunately physical therapy for my son’s knee will be the cost of my wishful thinking of a trip to Barbados and having the pleasue of seeing Jill Scott perform in public. I’ll just keep on dreaming. Someday I will be in the right place, or she wil be in the right place, at the right time. I will keep listening to my CD’s and watch my DVD. Also, a season 2 of #1 Ladies Detective Agency eventually would sooth my feelings.

  49. I’m really enjoying “The No.1 Ladies Detectice Agency Season 1 DVD but in talking to some people I know from Africa, Jill, they are saying that it should have under LANGUAGES a FRENCH option because a lot of children in Africa speak french and they wanted to send it home. In other words ENGLISH,FRENCH and SPANISH. Hopefully Season 2 will include a FRENCH option. Luv Ya!!

  50. had recently herpes virus found in my blood. what I haveto do??? I’m in panic…

  51. Dear Jill Scott I feel you are a very talented soul sister who just speaks from her heart. I am also a writer and a poet as well but not known yet. I would like to channel some of my thoughts to you if you would just look them over. I am not a singer but have been told that I would make a good songwriter as well. You can just break it up if you like I just thought it was different. All I would like in return is if you would spread my name around and if you like my work feel free to use me. My gift is writing about anything I am a realist and believe you are the same. Well here goes something I wrote:
    I see you looking at me
    But do you really know what you see
    Is it just another girl?
    Or are you really looking at me.

    I see you looking at me
    But do you really know who I am
    Or do you even think you can

    chorus
    I’m not your regular
    I’m not your regular
    I’m not your regular
    Your regular girl!

    I see you looking at me
    Could you really get to know me
    my inner thoughts
    instead of my outer parts

    Or am I just another girl
    your looking for
    to rock your world
    Well guess what!

    I see you looking at me
    Not Again! Just let me be.

    chorus
    I’m not your regular
    I’m not your regular
    I’m not your regular
    Your regular girl. (You can add break up whatever you like I would just like to be used.) If you would like for me to do more send me topics or things that are on your mind and I can write realistically about them in poetry or song.Pat Prejean. Just want exposure and would love to work with you on something. God Bless!

  52. You are such an inspiration and a true role-model for women!
    Congratulations on your son’s birth, thank you for showing your real beauty in the face of society’s one-sided cookie cutter standards.
    God Bless!

    Love,
    Crystal

  53. Good acting as a Botswana Lady Detective. You have great talent. Cheers.

  54. Hi Jill!

U were talented, u carried yourself with so much respect, and I looked to u as the older sister I never had. I admired u so much then and I admire u just as much today. U’ve shared your gift and beauty with the world and I will always be proud to say it influenced me personally. Keep sharing ur blessings with us, girl! We luv u!

  55. Hey Jill-

  75. I’m opening a plus size lingerie retail store and i’m interested in carring your line. I contacted ashley on-line store to check if there were wholesale opp. which there is not , quite a few young ladies have asked me if i was going to carry your butterfly collection line. it appears you can only get it if you have a computer.

    I would enjoyed having your line grow with my store which is called Beautiful Secrets LLC

    please let me know when your line will be available for others to carry PS “He loves me: is the best.

  76. You are the “Real Thing:” I keep waiting everyday for my #1 Lady Remixed – hard to wait. You are a beautiful woman and a beautiful singer. Your voice is so soft and gentle it is hard to believe you can belt out those songs. One thing your songs do is they make women, FEEL LIKE THEY ARE WOMEN (even those of us who are defintely beyond a certain age) I watch #1 Ladies Detective agency on my DVR dozens (actually more) of times, also Why Did I Get Married? Your tears always look so real. ARE THEY? Just keep on being Jill Scott.

  77. Hi Jill, I recently read about your break up with your friend.I recently tried to reconnect with my exboyfriend and found that he was homeless,broke,& on the run from the law .all this occured after we broke up 6months ago.Evenbefore I took him money&bought him groceries for a week,he made it clear that he only wanted to be friends.When I showed up,he refused to speak to me and told my friend that he never wanted to be with me again,&that he never forgave me for my mistakes of the past.I felt like I was gonna die,because he didnt want me anymore,but now Im doing my best to learn to love me,and get my shit together.It just hurt that he could just throw away 8years so easily. I wish you all of the Love and sucess God has In store for your amazing career.Your music has inspired me& helped me heal during a lot of low points in my life.I love & God bless you .Keep up the great music !!!

  78. You are the best vocalist of the century…..

  79. Hi Jill I am a 55 year full-figured woman who loves your work, My new favorite show is now #1 Detectives Agency. Your are fantastic. About that loser leaving you, I had that happen to me twice after giving birth to 2 of my three sons.

  80. Jill,

    I want to start my letter by saying thank you. Thank you for being such an inspiration to so many people, myself included. It was in “Why DId I Get Married” that I first saw you work. Your performance was absolutely awe inspiring. I have been overweight my entire life and in your character, I found the strength to carry on, to lose weight, and, more importantly, love myself for who I am. I have seen many actors and actresses alike who are “good.” You, Jill, are an absolute sensation. I found myself laughing and crying with Sheila as I could relate so much to the situation. You truly caught the dynamic of the character and for that, you are to be praised. Tyler Perry’s writing and your acting skills combined into possible my favorite movie. I watch it over and over again and still find myself crying and laughing as if my mind cannot go numb to the subject matter of the movie. Thank You, Thank you. We love you.

    Thank you so much Ms. Jill for your wonderful performance on The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency. This show has inspired me and touched my heart and soul to the core. I am truly sad the season has ended but thanks to HBO on Demand I can listen to the beautiful music and enjoy my favorite characters whenever I choose. My life has been truly hard with many negative influences, obstacles and hurdles. As soon as I watched the show I fell in love with the county the culture and the kindness. I now set aside a little money every two weeks from my unemployment check in hopes of one day visting this wonderous place which for me will truly be my last chance at a saving grace.

    Truly,

    Erricka Jackson

  93. Hello Ms. Jill Scott,

    I always attempt to write on this page, but wonder if you will ever read it amongst your busy schedule. Way back many years when I first heard about you, wasn’t even a teen yet, I was like, Yes Yes!! Friends and family didn’t understand why but you inspired to be real through all the hurt and pain. Realness gave me the courage to sing and write again. You are simply amazing, your strength, smile, courage and virtue. You are my big sister I only get to hear from when the records play, the radio blast, or the screen screams. I know one day I will meet you.
    Congratulation on your bundle of Joy and rising above being pissed and finding love again!
    It’s Beautiful! And I know since the sky ain’t a ceiling at all, your family will make it through any obstacle, struggle, challenge, or lies presented. Thank you for being real, fun, down to earth, and A Big Sister Lyrically!!!

    I Love you Jill!!!!!

  94. God bless you, hope all is well with you and your family. Prayers are with you for your next phase in life. Take care of yourself.

  95. I have never written a fan letter before, so here goes. I always loved your music, but your acting in The #1 Ladies Detective Agency is toooo wonderful not to let you know. The show is great from the setting, the wardrobe, the language, to the great acting by Ms. Scott, Ms. Rose, and all the, until now, unknown actors. I love the undemonstrative love between Precious and her fiance. The subtle emotions and understated humor makes me look forward to the show each Sunday. I can’t say enough good things about the show. I watch each episode at least 3 times, and each time see some gem I missed.

  99. You were so very wonderful in the HBO series. I was sorry to see it end. It was a beautiful presentation and your interpretation was endearing.

    Congratulations on your new child. May your life be beautiful and fulfill all your dreams.

  100. Hey Jill,
    I’ve loved you in “#1 Ladies….” but I had no idea you were this amazing singer (I’m mostly into jazz.) What I love most about you is this gorgeous spirituality and vitality that you radiate. You are probably the most radiant woman I’ve ever seen. When they say someone’s got soul, it must be you they’re talking about! I sure hope we see more of you in films to come.
    All blessings and good wishes.

  101. I LOVE YOUR SHOW #1LDA,I DONT MISS A SHOW IN FT.LAUDERDALE FL.IT’S EVERY SUNDAY AT 8PM.AND LOVE YOUR ALBUMS.LOVE MARY FT.LAUDERDALE FL.

  102. Wow! I am soo impressed with you. THis will be my first time writing fan mail. Credit must be given when it is due. I love the #1LDA. It is exactly what is needed right now. I moved from the States to Ghana almost 3 years ago in an effort to pour my energies into the continent. I am a young brother just trying to do my part to let the world see African people shining. I don’t even know if you know the effect your work will have on the world. I just started hosting tours to Ghana and your show is the best tool that I have. IT is the only positive view that many of our people have of hte African continent. Before I moved to Ghana I spoke about how a show like The #1LDA was needed. I had no idea it would come so quick and would be grasped the way it has been. Please keep up the work. I know it is not easy being in your shoes, but you are loved for ur works. You have a fan for life. Ur music is self explanatory. I can’t give you enough praise for your music. Please continue to represent African people as you do. You are indeed a QUEEN! Would love to see you in Ghana. Our people need us over there. They need to see the beauty of us being our beautiful positive selves in music on tv. Thank You! I am thankful for you in this world!!!!

    Congrats on the new blessing you brought into the world. I pray this baby blesses you as you have blessed us. Keep Shinin Jilly from Philly…

  103. A fan from your first C.D. and I had to get re-baptized as a new fan. Girrrlll, “The Real Thing C.D.” made me a true believer and then to top it off you are killing them in The First Ladies Detective Agency. What quality production and acting. If you did or did’nt study acting, the true AFRICAN in you shine in your performance. Stellar performance, I don’t know how you maintain your composure from laughing, because Anika Noni Rose keeps me in stitches. I’ve seen you perform in various venues and recently saw you perform at Wingate Park in Brooklyn. Although you cannot see everything in the audience, you gained some new Church members. People were all warm and hot and moving a little closer to their mate. Keep on doing what you do.

    Some people would like to believe that the industry is bias when it comes to skinny girls versus the sistahs that can kill a pair of jeans in some hills and make the flyest of dem stare in awwwww, but my personal take is that the industry cannot afford to put light on such quality soul stirrers in main stream because it would mean artist like Joss Stone (a joke), Robin Thicke (Mediocre in Vocals), and all the others that try to produce soul music would be shut down in the R&B category. No offense to anyone, just speaking the truth.
    Fortunately for you, you have an undeniable gift that can’t be held down and I am a fan to the end. I’m proud to be your sister from another mother and the same “FATHER”.

    Congrats to you and your family on your new GEM.

  104. i just saw you on vh1 and it was so refreshing to watch you perform. Y ou breathe grace,poise, realness, class, freshness and I could go on. Your smile lights up the room, your voice pure. Your TV show is great!! How did you get the African accent so perfect? I hope the series stay for a long time. LOVE YOU ALLWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!

  113. Dear Jill
    I would like to congratulate you on your music and also
    the big step you took in no. 1 ladies, what i really like is
    that people get to see that Africa is not all jungle and
    pygmies like the white man taught us in social studies,
    I recently went to Africa and plan in the future to reside
    there and die there. You are an inspiration to me, keep up the good work

    Congrats! I hope you and Jet are healthy. You are truly blessed to go through so much and to keep striving to reap the blessings you deserve. I love your music, poetry and acting. If you wrote a book I’d probably love that to. As you already know, motherhood is a gift and a heck of an experience but you’ll be just fine. Glad to hear Jet finally made it enjoy this new journey…it’s a great one.

  117. Dear Jill:

    Your portrayal of Mma Ramotswe, and indeed the #1 series, is the most amazing and heartwarming thing that’s happened on TV in a very long time. It has brightened my life, as I’m sure it has for countless others. Both in your music and in your TV role, your inner beauty comes shining through. Love and best wishes.

  130. Ms Scott,
    I just wanted to tell you what an exceptional show, the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency is — you are marvelous and I just love the young woman that plays your assistant, she makes me laugh! Tonights episode was “Tears from a Giraffe”. I laughed and then at the end of the show I was in tears. The scene with you and your assistant at the grave site of your infant son that died was so moving. I have always been a fan but this show and your acting is making me your #1 fan. Keep up the fantastice work, Mma.
    Sincerely,
    Kim, VA Beach, VA

  131. I was listening to a video interview of you concerning the creative process: to feel what you feel, being the essence of creativity. And I was struck by the honesty, depth and simplicity of this truth. I realized my lack of creativity is because I find it hard to be in the moment and to feel what needs to be felt. Your insight and simple expression of this deeper truth touched me. There is a metaphysical book in you: your life. Please share deeper truths with us through the written word, as well.

  132. I love your art. The sensuality in it and the way you utilize your class and dignified way within it is astounding in this day and time of immodesty and filth. Talking about basically the same thing but sometimes its how you say it. I love you. You are beautiful and a great artist. But You already know that.

  134. Hi Jill
    Wow. I don’t even know where to start. You are amazing. You are such a beautiful black queen. I fell with you and your music when you first released “Let’s take…a long walk…around the park…” and I’ve been trying to contact you for the longest. I know you have a busy schedule but if you allow me to meet you one day, you’ll make me the happiest man.

  135. I want to send praise to you and your beautiful voice. I hope to get the chance to hear you sing in my area real soon.

  136. Jill you are music in human form. Keep on singing and being beautifully human!

  137. I give GOD praises everyday that I am able to wake up and listen to music. i have to blast at the crack of dawn ” Hate On Me” cause thats what alot of people do. Jill, I dont let this go to my head but I am told by many that I could be your look a like outside of me constantly changing my hair color. I Love You and admire what you do.

  138. Jill I love your words, your music and the passion in your delivery.
    The words to ‘hate on me’ are typical of the lifelong relationship I have had with my mother. I will not let her put me down any longer. Nothing I ever do will be as good as my sister so I am going to stop trying. Her loss. Thank you.

  139. You are the “Real Thing” I love your soul, your talent , your ambition I think you are a great inspiration to young artists. By the way I love your show.

  140. Jill,
    i had to write and say that you have brought to life the character of Mma Ramotswe perfectly and I am looking forward to seeing the rest of Series Two at home in England. Great work.
    Best wishes for all your future projects
    Tamara

  141. Jill, I love your music and poetry. You have inspired me to continue writing my own things. Love you and your voice always =)

  142. Jill, you have the most beautiful smile. I love your work in the #1 Ladies Detective Agency. I’ve admired your musical talent for years and you are an equally talented actress. Thank you for helping bring these stories alive.

  144. Dear Jilln Scott,
    My name is Marvanna Avery-Cash, I am from Chicago, IL, and I am currently in my third year of school at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin. I am double majoring in Theatre Arts and Creative Writing, with a minor in Film Studies. In the near future of my educational career, I hope to attend graduate school for both Creative Writing and Theatre. In the long term, I aspire to take part in professional creative writing, playwriting, acting, and directing. When I am not at school or participating in creative arts, I enjoying volunteering and immersing myself within other cultures. To become more fluent in Spanish and to immerse myself within the Spanish culture, this summer I am planning to independently travel to Cusco’s Peru in South America. There I will live with a host family and volunteer with a non- profit organization called Aldea Yanapay (www.aldeayanapay.org). This organization offers a project within the Yanapay School, offering various educational resources for children ages 5-17 ranging from tutoring, counseling, arts and crafts, as well as home cooked meals. Another project within their Cultural centre offers hands on theatre training for the children, where they can participate in performances and become equipped with the fundamental tools used inside of a theatre on stage. While I am there I also hope to make some small films based on my journey there, teach some writing workshops, direct plays, and keep a journal of my day to day experiences there.
    Since I am initiating this journey independently, I can only rely on the minimal funds I am able to save and or attain for the expenses. I applied for a summer volunteer grant through my school, but I was recently informed that although my application was impressive and worthy, I was not granted the funds for this trip. I know that I cannot personally cover the costs of the entire trip, and I wanted to personally write a letter describing my situation and ultimate goals to various professional people and organizations that I admire and who inspire me, in hope that I would gain assistance towards achieving my current goal. I estimated my total trip costing between 1, 500 and 2,000 dollars. On campus, I am a resident life advisor, and I would be able to cover a small fraction of the cost, but I am in need of financial help with airfare, home stay, and minimal traveling expenses. I am an honest, responsible, positive, talented, and driven young lady. I was raised in a single parent household, and my mother has always raised me to follow my dreams, ask for help when needed, and put my best into everything. With your assistance, I can travel to this village immersing myself within a new culture, and assist many people who need a helping hand. I can invest in a new camcorder and teach children how to act and film their own movie. I can furthermore, grasp the Spanish language more fluently, and continue to excel in school, and move on to the next best thing that I pray God leads me to. At the end of this journey, I would like to share my experiences within my campus, with anyone else who desires listen to my experience.
    If it is in your ability to help me with this goal, please feel free to contact me, either way. I plan on being in South America for two months this summer from June 14-August 17th. If you have any questions about anything related to me, this trip, or more of my leadership involvement. Please contact me through phone, email, and or letter at:

  148. Hello Ms. Scott

    I love your music, can’t get enough of it! I wish more people felt free enough to express themselves the way you do. You are such an inspiration to everyone – men, women, and children. You should, if you haven’t already, come out with a DVD full of your live performances because they are priceless and you’d make a killin’ off of them. Your live performances are as inspirational as church on Sunday morning. You give me chills down my skin. When I listen to you, I know that its God that I’m hearing, and that is well worth praise!! I’m so happy to be alive in your era. Thank you so much, Ms. Jilly from Philly! : D

    Daniel K,
    One of Your Biggest fans

  149. Hi Jill,

    I’ve always been a really big fan of yours but I wanted to share something intimate with you; because it involves you; well, your music rather. It’s not like that, I’ve been in a relationship with my partner for 5 years and counting.

    I wanted to let you know how music breaks me down in every way possible. Not only music but sounds in general. Tones, weezes, whirls, clicks, clacks, clanks, and even sirens seem to have such a profound effect on me, my moods, my feelings, my actions, and my reactions. Quite simple, when one hears a siren your mind automatically goes into a state of urgency and rush and the same goes with lullabies, you think of babies sleeping on soft clouds filled with loveliness; no cares, no wants, no worries.

    I’ve always enjoyed music and will even sing and hum to myself when I’m in the shower or I know for a fact that I am definitely alone. I have never enjoyed listening to anyone words and sounds so much until, “bum ba da dum bmmm…You Love Me, Espec-ial”. You words and sounds literally humbles me and makes me thank GOD that I am blessed enough to be able to hear, listen, understand, interpret, and comprehend all those tones, weezes, whirls, clicks, clacks, clanks, words and yes; even sirens.

    Even more personal, I continue to listen to your sounds and feel that good energy that you exude. There are only 2 songs that I’ve have shed tears for that weren’t even meant for tears: Know These Things by Maxwell and then came along Family Reunion by Jill Scott. I’ve listened to this song before but today I heard the words and I was there. At the reunion. Trying to save Elenora’s cake that cousin Mickey and Steven knocked over.

    I’m not a writer, not a poet, not an artist, and definitely not a singer. I’m just a regular 25 year old worker bee in Baltimore. I hope this gets to you because I just wanted to let you know how I felt. Keep doing what you love because I love what you do.

    Cory

  150. Jill,

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!! on your soon to be role as Mommy. I am a big fan and I will be 50 in 2010 and I will throwing a Fifty & Fabulous Party with two close friends and we would love it if you could find time in your Busy schedule to make an appearance?

  154. Although I have bought six copies of the Real Thing CD for friends & family because I enjoyed it so very much, I must say your embarcation onto the HBO tv #1 Ladies’ Detective agency series is the most exciting thing I have ever seen. I read the stories with my book club 3 yrs ago and never thought the powers that be could find such a powerful match in YOU as the lead character. Jill Scott…
    Thank you for your music and thank you for bringing to
    life the pride and symbolism of Africa the beautiful in
    for all America to see. Consider yourself hugged.

  155. I have to tell you that I am a new fan of yours since watching the HBO series, The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. I have read the books and have to say you are the embodiment of Precious Ramotswe. I look forward to the new episodes. After reading your web page, I now have to listen and enjoy your music. You are one talented lady!! I wish you many, many successes and triumphs. May you have an easy and uneventful pregnancy and a beautiful healthy child.

  157. Dear Jill,
    We have watched both the 1st and 2nd episodes of No1. Ladies Detective Agency. WE LOVE IT and WILL continue to watch every single episode in the series. It is a blessing and delight to see a black TV shows where we are not being casted as drug dealers, thugs, prostitutes, or pimps. You and Anika make this series shine. We absolutely adore you and the rest of the cast. THANK YOU! and Thank HBO for Positive BLACK TV. We hope this series also goes on sale as DVD or Blu-Ray it will make a wonderful addition to our DVD collections………………………………….Julia & William

  158. Happy Birthday! “Precious” and her agency are The Best!

    Peace.

  160. I just wanted to say congratulations on your soon to be bundle of joy. I have no doubt that this will be the most loved, happy, blessed baby to have such a wonderful mother. You have this inner peace that always shines thru with everything you do. I watched the The No 1 Detective Agency & I loved it. Be blessed my sister & please keep entertaining us with you presence.

    Love ya

  161. Happy Birthday! Congrats on your first child, be blessed! I love the show and thank you for being a vessel of hope! God Bless!

  162. Jill, whatever you do, you shine. You are simply an incredible woman. I am so glad that God has blessed us with you, and that you have chosen to share your many gifts with us. I cannot wait until the next episode of your rich, awesome new series on HBO.

    Your words, your songs, your poetry and you are simply beautiful. Thank you for letting your warm rays of light shine on me. You inspire me to soar. I love you and admire you.

  163. Jill, you are the most soulful singer of my time, I have fallen in love with all of your cd’s especially the one that has”you love me so differently” on it, you bring more love into any relationship, thank you I will continue to listen, may God bless you!

  164. Dear Jill,

    I just caught an episode of your HBO show and I’ve been watching you blossom in your career. I’m so very proud of you and what you’ve done and accomplished dear sister. Please keep up the good work.

  165. You are a phenominal woman and you know it : ) ..You are beautiful, wise, humble and that’s what makes you special. You are a smart business woman and make me aspire to be more than I am. You put so much emotion, thought and truth into your art., yet I wish I could take a long walk with you and pick your brain some more : ) Congratulation on “No. 1 Ladies” …I’m hooked already. I wish you the best mama. Can’t wait to see what star you reach for next !!

  166. I have this theory that before you are born you have to stand in line in heaven for talents. Some of us will be blessed with singing abilities or great beauty. Jill Scott got in line too many times. She is one of those rare women that just get more beautiful with age. Her voice is joyous, haunting and soothing all at the same time. And now we find out she can act too? Under difficult circumstances (pregnancy). She is too much! I super admire her. I think she is a stunning beauty and I look forward to whatever talent she pulls out next!

  167. Firstly I would like to say Congrads on the new Show on HBO and with the New Baby. I am actually watching it now for like the 5th time on demand. I would also like to say thank you for being who you are and the way that you are. I wish there were more women like you who were able to pass down their wisdom to the younger women. You have such a regal elegance and confidance that is truly remarkable and I admire that. I wish that I have the chance of meeting you just to learn from you as Ruth to Noami. I thank God and pray for the success in everything that you do. God bless and keep on being an example. Teela

  168. Hi Ms. Scott
    just wanted to send a note to say I just finished watching “The 1st Ladies’ Dectective” on HBO & LOVED it. Can not wait to for the next episode. You totally bring a wonderful quality to the show.
    Thank you

    Terri

  169. Hello, years ago I heard a song on the radio that had the same lyrics as “Getting in The Way” by: Jill Scott but it sounded like it was an older cut and I have been searching for it ever since. Would anyone know who that may have been?

  170. I have never loved a woman like you. You personify my admirations and aspirations. My wish is just to sit down and have tea with you and listen to you tell me about the process of song/poetry writing. I hope you come to South Africa and dazzle us with your Divaness. Shadi

  187. Jill – Love your music, but need to know who is Peter Black??? On your collaborations album there are so many songs that just tease! ‘In stereo’ for one! That needs to be made again full length! Also, TURN ME TO STONE – I am so dissapointed that there is no Peter Black album, single – nothing just a minute taste that leaves you longing. He should be a household name !

    Tell Peter to get off his butt and cut an album! We need it!

  188. Hey Jilly from Philly, I just want to say “THANK YOU” for all of the beautiful music that you have shared with us over the years and I’d like to wish you continued success and all of the Blessings that your lil’ heart can hold you deserve it and that you for the wonderful performance you gave in Atlantic City back in Aug ‘08. I drove down & stayed a couple of days just to see YOU. And I know that you will have a beautiful healthy baby. I want it to be a girl, but I know that you will have a boy…don’t we have enough of those…smile, GOD Bless. Tweet from New York

  189. Just wanted to say I love your music. I am so happy to see that you are really living your life like it is GOLDEN! I have 3 kids of my own and trust me with a loving confidant and a beautiful newborn, life is going to be better than GOLDEN. Let’s just say a water fountain of gold. God has been with you all this time. Wish you many more blessings.

  190. Hey Jill Scott,
    This is Melanie here, and I just want to say thank you.
    Thank you for your writing.
    Thank you for your singing.
    And Thank you for your wonderful melodies that hit my eardrums.
    You inspire me to write, you inspire me to think and to of course use my God given vocals in any situation.
    I am 19 years old and I have been listening to you for quite sometime, and I think the reason why I keep listening is because you stay Jill Scott and no one else.
    God Bless

  191. hi jill iam a big fan of yours i really love to here your music you are a very good singer

  196. Dear Ms. Jill Scott,
    I know that you hear from your fans that they are your # 1 fan. I would like to call myself and “ADMIRER” of you not only as an ARTIST, but as a STRONG WOMAN that has a sense of who she is and not afraid to be just that yourself. I first heard your music while stationed in Korea and all your songs on your “Who is Jill Scott” C.D. had an impact on mylife in the aspect that I was going through so much in a realtionship at that time. Since then I have listened to your songs and each time they have helped me get through whatever it is i’ve had to go through in my life. I know that this letter seems like I’m rambling, but there is so much i want to say in regards to you helping me to become more comfortable in my own skin and to love who i am inspite of what “TELEVISION” , “MAGAZINES” or that “INDIVIDUAL” who can’t accept me for the “COLORFUL” loving person I am. Thank you so much Ms. Scott. Thank you so very much.

  197. Congragulations jill on your baby that’s great ! I am one of your many female fans. I love your music.

  198. Thanks for your music, words and attitude which are inspiring and lifting. Hope to see you in Marseille, France soon. Peace X

  199. Hate on me hater, was a my theme song for quite a while. When I am feeling down, I put that on, and I am ready to tackle the world again. Thank you

  200. Your music inspires me and i love how your music tells a story and allows your fans to take an indepth look at Ms.Jill Scott Thank you,please come back to Denver!!!

  201. You’re such a beautiful woman of color that has cultivated the capacity to be a critical thinker with high self-esteem . An integrationist establishing accountability and credibility stating in your songs that it is important to create an atmosphers of security and love and exemplify that in everything you do.

  202. Jill, you are a blessing. A beautiful and angelic voice who heals sould with her words.

  203. Jill, I just want to say that I have loved your music since I first heard you with the Roots – My name is J-I-L-L S-C-O-T-T…….LOL. Much love to you my sister. I feel like I have gotten to know you and grow with you through your music. A superwoman, a queen, a mother, a friend is all the things I see in you that are a reflection of myself. Thank you for beautiful music and I thank God for your beautiful voice. We all have a path to take, we just have to find the one for us.

  204. hi jill

    hope your doing okay & coping with your pregnancy . much love

  205. Jill,

    I enjoy all of your music and have all of your albums. i enjoyed watching you in Why Did I Get Married? You did not let you husband keep you from going with life. Once you met sherrif Troy your life changed for the better and Troy showed you how to live again. Sherrif Troy showed that life did not have to stop because of one bad marriage. I am happy for you and your pregnancy. May God continue to be a blessing in your life.

    Sincerely,

    Lavonne

  206. Jill! Your expression of you is……so royal. I have EVERY album, and have been to EVERY performance in NJ/NY! Your energy is powerful and tangible….BLESSINGS! on your your newest role!! Congratulations on Mommyhood!

I’ve pressed your CD into the hands of many people I adore and every one of them loves it, too. You are a gifted, beautiful woman. I’m thrilled, too, to see that the smart people at HBO chose YOU to play Mma Ramotswe. Can’t wait to watch it. Blessings on your pregnancy, your new CD and any other endeavors you chose to share with us in 2009.
    Keep sharing your love.

    With love and blessings,

    Amy Griffith Redfern

  215. Dear Ms. Scott

    I just wanted to take the time to let you know how much I love your music. Your lyrics are heart touching and are the very feelings that many of can relate to. I love the fact that they are honest and they can be applied to every aspect of my life. I feel as though they are meant for me and I love that. Please keep giving us this, sometimes the words of your songs can get many of us through very rough times. I am a working single mother of a 14 year son, which is difficult, but your lyrics touch me when I need some comforting. I only wished they played more of you on the radio. It could help make a difference in many peoples lives. I will always remain a loyal supportor. Love Ya!!!

    Thank you,

  247. Jill,

    I had the chance to meet you when you were here in KC this year. I was so glad to meet you, you are my favorite singer and many of your songs I connect to because just like your album tiltle, it is “real”. Real life. I love you because you are an inspriation not just for your songs but because of who JIll Scott really is. Just from the short time talking to you I felt like I had been knowing you for a long time. I guess because you was just like you are on tv. “Real”. Girl, I am so glad I got to meet you and if you had been here in K C for another night I would have been right up front singing every word to each song you sang…just like I did the night I saw you here and in St. Louis, MO. That’s right I traveled to STL to see you in March of this year. So I got to see you twice this year…money well spent because you put on a great show. My 3 year old son loves you and will sing your songs word for word when I play your cd’s.. which is often (LOL)…daily..he use to think that I was you when he would see you on tv…
    Love you girl, Your look a like Andrea C. (yes, people tell me I look like you.. very frequently)

  248. Thankyou, for bringing out my seductive side,my poetic and political side etc!(lol) Your soothing voice put my son to sleep(from birth)! He’s now a 6foot ,200lb 13 yr. old handsome young man with a thing for older , attractive, full – figured women,you inlcluded .Your music helped me “-slowly , surely “, walk away from what I thought was love.Long story short your CD was playing as I drove 998 miles away from him!Your music expresses everything I have within , Thankyou for giving your voice to us all. wylie.jessica@yahoo.com

I have to say that I love your music and you have truly gotten me through some rough patches in my life and I think I do favor you alot so its always a compliment for people to say, you look just like Jill Scott! It really helps to solidify my beauty.

  267. Hi Jill,

    I must say, at a time when most young kids are listening to Lil Wayne, my soon to be 13 year old daughter loves listening to you. I introduced her to the 826+ Live CD and she’s been hooked ever since. Please know that all of your pains and your joys teach me and my daughter lessons as your bring meaning and hope to life through song. After watching you perform live in Greensboro, NC, I could say so much more about how I feel we are connected but I’m sure I don’t have enough space. It was a wonderful experience for my husband to see you together. Your voice does ignite love. Please keep teaching the world with your God given gift.

    Much Love & Appreciation,
    Hermanda Williamson, Reidsville, NC

  268. I think U are one of the most real sisters out there,keeping doing your thing. I listen 2 your songs and know people aer still real in the business.love you do it for the sistres without a voices!!!!

  269. I just want you to know I admire your work, your confidence and the way you carry yourself. I truly enjoyed the part you played in Why Did I Get Married. I felt your pain, because I went through that and worse with my ex husband, from being abused (me and my kids) to being cheated on repeatedly. I found what help me to get through it was my 5 sons, now 6 since I remarried. I still hurt inside but one of the ways I work through the pain is music. Over my lifetime Ive written close to 60 songs, but my voice has yet to be heard, maybe one day. Much MORE success to you in your career.

    God Bless,
    Samantha Williams-Hayes

  270. You are a very beautful black woman. Your music is a true gift from God. I can relate your wonderful songs to things that I have been through in life. Please keep on doing what you do. GOD made you to be the golden person that you are. I hope to meet you one day.

I was wondering if it would be possible to get you to sing at a wedding and how much you would charge for that….im not sure this is the best outlet for me to be requesting this but it is the only way I saw to contact you and your people. It would be at least a year from now but I wanted to know if it would be possible and if you would be interested in doing something like that. Please email me if so!

Nothing beats a failure except a failure to try; so I am asking you to please if you have time in your busy schedule to respond to me via the E-Mail address i provided. I promise this is real but I will and do understand if you decline my request.

    God Bless you in your search to find self.

    Sincerely

  293. Dear Jill,
    I bought your first CD and I loved your music every since. I appreciate the positive and affirmative aspect in your music. You are music is sensual and sexy, kind of like the old R& B music. Anyway, a friend, Julius Rouse, and I had shared poetry by Langston Hughes, movies, such as Training Day, opinions about current events, and helped with my study of Egypt history. Therefore, the next natural thing to share was your CD. He loved it. Of course, we talked about why we loved. My friend passed away a couple of years ago. However, when I listen to your music, I think of my friend. Thanks for sharing your gift with us.

  294. Just wanted to say that I dig your style amd flow. Keep doing what your doing.

  295. I love your music and I love your confidence. You make me smile.

  296. FIRST IN FOREMOST I JUST WANNA SAY IT IS A HONOR TO SAY TO YOU, I M DEEPLY TOUCH BY YOUR MUSIC . FROM WHAT’S YOUR NAME GIRLFRIEND, TO CROWN ROYAL, AND MY PERSONAL FAVORITE MY LOVE. I MUST SAY YOU ARE MUSIC.

  298. Ms Scott,

    Your music is inspiring and uplifiting. I appreciate how you approach each song from a womans point of view. The thing is as a man I get what you are saying about relationships and how a man and woman should relate. I love it. Crown Royal was off the chain. My girlfriend and I love the new album. Keep your head up and know that you are making a difference. I wish you many blessings sister!

  299. I have always found your music and your spirit to be inspiring, but “My Love” is mindblowing. The tear at the end of the video took my breath away. From one writer to another, you are my muse.

I am originally from Charlotte, NC and my mom is also a big fan. She listens to your old and new songs everyday.

You have an amazing voice and I can’t wait to hear what you put out next. Also I have to say you were incredible in Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I get Married?”!!! Love YA!!!

  317. Jill Scott thanks for share in your music the thinks most black women want to express but simply could not find the words to say it. You are a special woman and a blessing from GOD. I love your poetry, your voice musically and orally. You represent the full figure women with grace, class and beauty, Thanks for representing!!!

  318. I saw the show in Atlanta @ Chastain. It was an incredible experience. My boyfriend loved the song you did in the encore. Thank you for sharing your gift, it’s a true treasure.

  319. Today I watched the interview of you and the concert you gave in Paris with my mother till 5 O’clock in the morning. My mother; late 60’s, is nuts about you; she is a music teacher here in Germany. Both of us keep buying your CD’s over and over; they either become stolen or she takes mine and I take hers; my woman take mine, I take my mothers.

    Oh; I forgot, I myself ; crazy about you too. I run a bike shop here and I play your music all the time; though some of the young brothas trip about it; strangely though all the white boys dig it!!!Furthermore; those military moms too. Any who; your interview made me more curious about; who is Jill Scott? You have a voice of a sweet woman when you speak and a strong soulful sound when you sing; it touches me deep like an orgasmic wound.

    What I find beautiful; the sounds of which you speak; moves men and women. Your words apply to many peoples lives and living situations. I read somewhere that you gave up on the idea of teaching;I don’t know if thats true; however, if it is ; your still doing it and a Damn good job of it too. PLEASE continue to move forward and inspire!! Congrats on your new man of choice; I hope you guys have a long, soulful future together. PEACE be on to you! Im out.

  320. Jill you are one of my all time favorites.. When I hear your voice it send chills down my spine.. I know your parents should be over joyed with your accomplishments and the beautiful woman you turned out to be.. Especially the Lord above.. Well I just wanted to show some Luv.. Especially where it’s due.. Thanks for providing music me and my husband can share together.. Are just for when I need that alone time.. if you know what I mean.. Well again Thank you and if I never meet you at least I know we are still Friends on myspace… Charlotte

  321. Miss Scott,
    I have been a huge fan of yours since “Who Is Jill Scott”. I absolutely loves your words and the way you speak. Your voice is so beauiful. Me and my cousin both are huge fans, and when we heard “Imagination”, we both cried because thats the way we feel. You speak truth and knowlegde, and anyone who listens to your music and doesn’t feel that way isn’t listening to a Jill Scott record. For real. I am a poet, so I listen and graps everything you say. Not only for the muscial aspect of it, but also for the message and meaning behind the music. I think you are brilliant and such a gorgous full figured black woman. I am full figured myself, and I admire the confidence you bring to the stage, to the television, and in your live shows. If the Lord ever decided to bless me with the chance to sit and talk with you, even if only for 5 minutes, i would learn as much as I could from you. I would listen to your words of wisdom, and then write about my Jill Scott Experience. I do hope that you continue making beautiful music and being an inspiration to a lot of young ladies trapped in the world…myself included. Stay strong, stay beautiful, and keep the music coming.

  322. Hi Jill, I just wanted to let you know that I was present at ur show on Monday at Wingate Park, in Brooklyn. You did such a beautiful job… I don’t know if you received it or not but there was a contest winner who got to see you after the show…well, I gave her a photo of me and my friend with a message on the back. If you did get it I hope you liked the message, if not maybe next time. lol I hope you have fun in Africa. mwa!!

  323. Hello Jill, Wow you are a gift from Jehovah! I must say that evertime I hear your voice I feel closer to God himself. Your energy is pure and your heart you wear on your sleve is penatrating! Please don’t stop singing and making music. “We Need You” in this world.

    May Jehovah continue to bless you, and may you always work with his hand holding yours!

    Your Wingate Park performance in Brooklyn was amazing! I have always been a fan but this was my first time seeing you in concert. I was blown away. I understand why you chose to no longer perform Lyzel in E flat, but I will truly miss you singing it. Its a beautiful song and wow…what a great performance last night!!! God bless you in everything you do!

  327. Ms. Scott,

  335. Dam girl, went to Brixton in july, WOW you smashed it. Been listening to you for about 5 years now and you just dont know how much you’ve done for me in my life.
    Whenever i’m down i just put on your rymes, one for every feeling. Would just like to take this time to thank you for everything.Hope you return to london soon, infact anywhere in the UK, i’m there.
    Big up girl, much love x x x

  336. My 10 month old daughter LOVES you! It all started when she was about 2 weeks old and we were giving her her first bath. I had your cd playing in the background to keep her calm, and it was a wonderful experience. Since then, whenever we are in the car for an extended amount of time and she starts to get a little fussy, we just put you on and you do all the work. So my husband and I have to thank you for always being there when we need you. You have taken the stress out of what could potentially be extremely stressful car rides. Thank you!

  337. You are a beautiful person with a powerful voice! God Bless you in all that you do!

    Dawnae

  338. Ms. Scott,
    I have to admit…when you dropped your first single “Gettin in the way” I was blown away. Though I was younger the music still moved me. Now that im 21 and i listen to it….i wonder how can someone be so talented and gifted with using words the way that you do. You are a wonderful and beautiful woman. Keep doing you ma. And please dont ever stop!!! By the way, I dont know if all of your shows are the same, But when you came to nashville tn on july 1st you perform a song at the end of your concert that was off the HOOK!!!! I wasnt anything off your previous cds, but the song was beautiful. You said you came up with it some months ago.I felt special because you performed it for us. Me and my sister was singing it around the house for days. You had the audience singing along with you…and it was just awesome. I would love if you put that on your next cd….thats a #1 hit waiting to happen!!! Well I hope you get this due to your crazy schedule. Peace & Love ~Keshia~

  339. I love you Ma! Your poetry is beautiful and beauty looks good on you! I want you to play me in the story of my life! Let’s get Tyler Perry to hook that up! lol

  340. Jill,
    From the first time I heard “Can’t get in the way,” I’ve been hooked. Your music, it’s rythm and vibe, has helped me through some rough times and hyped me up just as often. I send these lines to you to let you know that you are a blessing to so many in so many ways. Stay strong, be loved, be blessed.

  341. nothin more to say but stay strong and keep doing what you love to do cause we love you for doing you

  342. Jill,

    Saw you last night (Aug 8th) in Chicago for the first time and girl can you put on a show! Thank you so much…

    April

  343. What’s up Jill. just wanna show love to ya. You brought it last night at Northerly Island in the Chi. U know we got crazy love 4 ya 4eva. Keep yo head up and keep on keeping on. Thanx for being obedient to the voice and sharing the conversation between you and the Creator. It really blessed me.

  344. Jill,
    I am a “Philly” girl from around the way- 27th and Girard to be exact. I am also a mother of 7 beautiful children and a woman who is just about to close one chapter in my life to only open another. I have been fortunate enough to have you( your music) by my side as I navigate through this journey called living. Your gift of expression has given me the rare moments (that we sometimes don’t give ourselves) to ponder life’s most precious question- ‘Am I worthy of IT” ? Am I worthy of living my best life, a whole life- one filled reverence, peace and unspeakable joy ? Your music has given me the clarity to seek authenticity in everything I do and the ability to discern that I am worthy of IT… Love , Peace and Joy- Kareema

  345. Thanks for being obedeint and follow your dreams, your music touches the soul and relax the body and mind which is so needed in todays world, natural things to soothe your soul and your level of creativity takes you above and beyond thank you again.

  346. Jill,

    I was feeling down because I was going through something, but your song “Hate On Me” uplifted me and gave me peace and encouragement.
    Thank You Sister! Keep doing what you do.

    Kearston

  347. Dear Jill,
    I’ve actually been wanting to find something out for a long time about you. I’ve been a big fan of yours since the first album came out, however; I’ve always wondered what your stance on gay people is. I’m sure you’re aware that you have a gi-normous gay following, however; I have never seen one thing in print or online about your views of gay people, gay marriage, gay rights…etc. I would like to know what they are if you would be willing to share them.

    I think the reason I feel the needs to ask is due to the fact that I can’t find any comments in regard to that subject, even online, and it makes me question whether you have leanings that are anti-gay, but you don’t want to marginalize part of your audience, so you stay quiet on the subject, or it could be the reverse, or none of the above, but I’m certainly curious, and have been for a long time.

    Thanks; Sincerely,
    Kris

  348. See you in Brooklyn

  349. I am loving the new album that is true reflection and new flava to Jill…but all your CDs have been big hits and inspiration to me as writer..thank you sister..still watch you “Why Did I Get Marry” spoken for sisters all over

  350. Jill I just want to say that I love your style. Ur soo deep that if people really dont listen and only hear u that the will miss what u r really tryin 2 say. I have watched u grow from “A Long Walk” to “Crown Royal on Ice” and I must say that u have been through some thangs and real talk u help me get through my ish. Thanks for been Jill. Thanks for inspiration and reality checks. Dont change for no one.

  362. Hi Jill,
    First I must say that you are an awesome expression of true beauty as God designed it to be. My name is Nicole, I am the House Manager @ a homeless women’s center in dc. The women are in need of undergarments, especially those that are well endowed. Can you help? We have heard some great things about the butterfly bra you have designed. I known that the women would really appreciate it. Thank you for all that you do ~

  363. Hell Jill:
    I saw you on Saturday at Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbia. You made my soul sing! I am so happy and proud for you and of you. YOU ARE THE REAL THING!!!!! I LOVE YOUR ENERGY AND YOUR OUTSPOKENESS; MOST OF ALL THE REAL MUSIC/LIVE BAND ETC… I WILL NOT MISS ANOTHER JILL SCOTT SHOW OR CD. DON’T CHANGE WHO YOU ARE MY SISTER. YOU ARE BEAUTIFL AND SO IS YOUR VOICE !!!!!! KEEP YOUR SPIRIT LIFTED.

  364. Hello Jill,
    I just wanted to say that I love you and I’m one of your biggest fans. I saw you at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD over the weekend and I was in total amazement. I saw you before in concert and I went by myself and I partied with you while you did your thing. I consider you to be my sister, even though I’m not physically related to you, but you are my sister and your words are a comfort to me when I’m down. Thank you, for being the “REAL” you and allowing myself and others to experience Jill Scott. One love and keep up the great work.

  365. Hi Jill,
    I know this probably sounds like I have had my head in the sand. But I am just discovering the Jill Scott expereince. I purchased the real thing because I heard “Hate on Me” and it became my anthem for that time in my life. Since then I have purchased every cd and live concert of your work that I can find. I believe everything happens for a reason and I found you when God knew I needed to hear you speak to me. Thank you for your work, your talents, your vision and your inspiration. You let me know that my feelings can be expressed. You let me know it’s ok to hurt and ok to love beyond measure. I am blessed and so are you. Our cross my never meet in any other way than for me to hear your voice or see you perform but I know it’s a gift for me. May God continue to rain down blessing in your life. Take care of your gift. Peace, Terri.

  366. Dear Jill Scott, I have no words to express the feeling I had during tonights show at the Merriweather Pavillion. You are trully an inspiration, when you sing i feel your soul and everyones, a connection is felt all around and we are just all blessed to have you, your words and sounds, your love, your golden & free voice… I need you, we need you, it’s love and your love is deeper, tighter, sweeter, higher, flyy-er;;; and you should be damn sure that I and all of us now this…
    Love to all, Quentin XOXO

    I Just wanted to let you know how much me and my boyfriend LOVE YOU!!!!! You’ve kept our relationship going strong…we’ve been listening to you since we were high school sweethearts (6 years ago). I’m actually suprising him tomorrow. I told him i wanted to go on a picnic tonight. But little does he know that the picnic is going to be at your concert at Chastain Park in Atlanta. He’s a little hesitant because we just had a baby a month ago and he doesn’t want leave her…..I’m gonna make it work though. I guess we’ll see you tonight
    Love,
    Sherry and Willie Thompson

  378. Hello Jill,

    I recently saw you at your Chene Park concert in Detroit and I wanted to express to you how much your inner and outer beauty has touched me.

You are such a beautiful person and your voice is beyond compare. Jill you will always have a fan in me. That’s real!

Just seeing you makes me smile for days. Although I’m not a true R&B/Neo Soul listener, when I hear your music, I am dedicated to listening. Well, this concludes my expressions to you (at this time). Hopefully, you reply and Ican get to see what is felt. Thank you for your time.

  397. Dear Mrs. Scott,
    I just wanted you to know that my wife and I truly love your music, it has served as an inspiration to us in every sense of the word. It has strengthened our relationship, and given us hope that there are better days ahead. We are flying into Washington, D.C. to see your show, and it is our hope that we could meet you in person just to say thank you. I am sure you have received this request a thousand times, but as my wife likes to say..”nothing beats a failure but a try”…

    In our prayers,
    Dedglan and Darshelle Freeman, Fans for life

  398. Yesterday I saw your performance and it was Amazing! When you walked off the stage for the first time I couldn’t believe it was over, but! You came back again with your powerfull and loveley music! It was a great pleasure to finally see you live! I was looking forward to this moment a long time and I can’t wait till the next time! Please keep on going because we Need your music! Much love

    P.S. Come back to the netherlands soon;)

  399. Jill and The Paradiso, Amsterdam: a mesmerizing combination! Yesterday I saw you perform in the Dutch so-called ‘Pop Temple’ for the third time already. Every time you bring the house down. I am looking forward to the thirtieth (!) time – in the meantime please keep surprising us with your pure talent.

    P.S.: the lady-without-the-earrings I met at the entrance made my day too. ;-)

  400. Your music has touched me in many ways, on many levels. Keep doing what you’re doing and be true to yourself. Your feelings spill into your music and fill your fans with each emotion that ran through your soul. Good luck & God bless!

  401. jilly from philly, dont know what to say. u are amazing, ur music is life changing, i’ve loved you from when i heard “the way” that was blazing and everytime i hear your songs i still thesame feeling, its unbelieveable. God bless you, and just know you’ve touched alot of lives.

  402. One luv to you, thanks for keeping real music, words, and meaning in music.

  403. Just home from your gig tonight in London at Brixton, A transcendant experience you open hearted woman. Many thanks for sharing. Your work over comes any and every obstacle of technology but please get sound men who have an idea about the importance of “the Word” in your work. I mean that in the sense of your poetry as opposed to ” the Gospel”. I am afraid to say that it was only because i know your work so well that i ‘heard’ the text.

    BUT i had an amazing time.

    thank you for your gift as an artistI thank you as an artist

  404. Hi Jill,
    Always a fan who supports everything you do- “Perfect Love”. I appreciate the creation of the “Butterfly Bra”, great for back support, however let me take it a step further and request for you to also create or add to the already fabulous creation, a front hooked panel for gals like me who carry tummy fat under breast area. This would be a full length mid section bra, with the butterfly back and firm under bra support hitting the mid-section. This would give ladies like me an hourglass shape with back and front support. Hooked in the front will assist for ease and comfort putting on and taking off, with smoothness under clothes. Looking good, feeling great builds confidence. I am 44 and loving every bit of life. Respond, please so I may draw you a picture. Thank you for your time and all you do. Excellence is standard, never the goal. Be Blessed

  405. Greetings Queen,

    I am writing to let you know that you have set a new standard by which all female r&b artists are measured. I love all of your music! My favorite (among many of your songs) is “My Love”. The beginning reminds me of a similar voice mail message I received upon returning from my honeymoon. It was an ex-girlfriend that I broke up with because of the long distance. The music and the content rings continually in my head. I am a smooth jazz trumpet player. I hope to perform a duet with you on “My Love” someday soon. You’ll hear more about me when my CD “Feelin’ Good” comes out this fall. I’ll send you a copy. Take care, keep singing, and may God continue blessing you.

  406. How else can I express how spectacular you are Jill. You concert in Norfolk, VA was amazing.

    Keep it coming.

  409. love ur work 2 the fullest, u sing what im feeling.

  410. love ur work 2 the fullest, u sing what im feeling.

  411. I love you Jill Scott. There really isn’t anything that I could say to truely justify what you stand for in my life and so many other people like myself. You are an angel sent from heaven that has blessed us with your GOD given talent. You always stay positve despite all of the negative that is out there. You are constantly allowing us into your world with no hesitations and no regrets about who you are and where you come from. You are a graceful and beautiful woman who respects herself and others. But what I love most about you is that Jill Scott is her own person. She thinks for herself, puts out music she wants to put out, and doesn’t listen to others when they try to put her in a box and tell her what they think she shoud do or how she she look. You are your own woman who demands respect and attention without saying a word. Once again, I love you and I will always support you.

  412. Hey Jill,

    I know you probably here this alot, but, I’m a really big fan of yours. I love your music. My aunt Rhonda loves your music too..Her birthday is coming up this month and i was hoping you would be in my area doing a performance so that i could get tickets for her to come and see you. But, unfortunately, after looking at your schedule, it looks like you may be performing somewhere else the weekend of her birthday. But, its ok, maybe we’ll catch you when you’re in town.

    Much Love!

I had been trying to figure out for a long time, how can a struggling man like me , who is decent looking not famous with not much money who is trying hard to honestly succeed in life meet his soul mate Jill. Well , I guess its too late now!!!!! Wishful thinking on my part.Can u believe that i even tried to make contact with the comedian M’onique so that i could meet u before u found someone else? Thats why i work hard as i do because if i had money my chances of meeting u would have been increased. I do wish U the best though!!!!!!!!

  422. my daughter and i really love you music. you really inspire much love valerie g

  423. dear jill scott…
    my name is queen, and i listen to your sound everyday..not only do i enjoy your sound… i can relate. you inspire me to keep breathing…. i have been singing and writing songs for over16 years.. and i am sorry to say that i have done nothing with any of it.besides singing in church and at home. i recently removed myself from an abusive marriage, hwere i wasnt allowd to sing. and when i steped out to record he destroyed my demos..i havent moved forward at all. and my worst fear is to lose the wil to encourage myself. i would love for the world to hear what i have to say. but i always thought i needed someone to have my back. now all these years passed, and i am realizing i have gotten nowhere. i still love to sing.. its my air, my deliverance, my serenity, my peace, my safe haven…. singing has become a part of my very existance. when i sing i enter such an intimacy that no man can even phantom.. hahaha. i want to ask you… will you please listen to me? it would mean the world to me for someone as great as you to give an ear to the sound God has given me. i know you will not be disapointed. all i want is 1 chance… 1 chance to spread these wings and be free… please send me an email or feel free to call me an ill share with you the sound God has allowed me to step into. queensmelody_97@yahoo.com.

  424. Jill I love your music, and you nailed your role in “Why did I get married”. Congrats on your recent engagement.

    You latest venture – The Butterfly Bra seems like it would be a wonderful Product if Ashley Stewart was conducting business properly. It would be great for this product to hit the streets but the long wait (over 8 weeks for delivery) is terrible.

  425. Hey Jill,
    You are my all-time favorite female artist! I am definitely one of your greatest fans. I love the deepness of your mind…you are so real about life. I’m coming to see you in Cleveland! Be blessed sistah-girl! I love you!

  426. Hello Jill Scott!

    Sister Girl, you are BAD, keep doing what you’re doing. I love and enjoy your music, you are definitely saying something. My 43rd birthday is on August 8th, I could really use a birthday blessing if you can find it in your heart. I’m trying to see you in Cleveland, OH on August 9th. Also, if you are in town on the 8th, I’m having a cookout at Colby Park & Aquatic Center, come on out.

  427. Ms. Scott, I caught your performance at the Essence Festival in New Orleans you all ready know that you are a BAD CHICK. I am so short that I had to stand in a chair but I looked at the monitor and I heard you really well. I wish I could afford to pay you to sing for me, but until them may the Almighty Lord continue Blessing you and yours. Hope to heard you real soon!!!!

  428. Hey Jill,

    Just sending more love & continued blessings to you. I still have your Vol. 3 cd in my portable player. I listen every evening on my commute home from work! I just LOVE IT girl!
    I still tell everyone who will listen to go & buy this cd or one of your other ones. As well as the BOMB concert @ the Gibson that you bring so much more to the songs then what is on the cd. I love you for expressing w/ love all your talents that God has given you.

    I’d love to work w/you someday but, I know that you are not in the market for a”Drummer” now. Lol!

    Peace,

    Adonica

  429. Dear Jill,
    Thank you for a fabulous performance you gave in the Congress Hall in Warsaw. It’s an unforgettable experience for me and, I guess, for all your fans who saw you that day. I came all the way from Toruń to see you that night (it’s about 230km) and I’m so glad I did… You filled me with so much positive energy… I hope you’ll come again, ’cause there are myriads of your fans here, who are in love with your music and you. You’re a great girl, Jill, and people do love you. Don’t forget about that.
    By the way, during the concert you talked about being an artist in whatever you do. I’m a high school English teacher here in Poland (I’ve found out you used to be one, too), and I know what you meant by this.
    I frequently incorporate songs into lessons. I haven’t used yours yet, but I intend to, since they’d not only help my students develop their linguistic skills, but they’d also help them realize what’s really important in life and develop spiritually.
    You’ve got a remarkable voice and great personality and keep on doing the things you do. Thank you for everything. Hope to see you again.

  430. I just love u so much. You just real. Love your voice, your style and even your smile. I would love to meet you one day. When will you grace Miami,FL with your dynamic presentation of My Love, which is my favorite on your album. God bless you and don’t stop, whatever you do!

  431. hey JILL I M FROM TRINIDAD I’M A BIG FAN OF YOURS I LOVE LOVE UR MUSIC KEEP IT UP

  432. Jill I just wanted to say that I had no idea your concert would blow me away the way it did, My lovely wife and I made it to your concert in Richmond, Virginia, our hometown. We currently live in Hawaii. I must admit that the power of your voice intensified the love I felt for her that night……unbelievable performance, keep doing whatcha do.

  433. Jill, my husband is deployed and stationed in FOB Speicher, Iraq. It is your music that helps us get through this deployment. “Talk To Me” is a reminder of how he pushed me away emotionall before he left because he felt that leaving me for 18 months was too much to take. I didn’t understand what was going on and when he was home I often played that song in hopes that he would take the hint. The day he left, July 13, 2007 was the HARDEST day of my life. I was a soldier too and I knew that he had too leave and had no problems with that. But things between he and I were soooooo tense. He shut down on me emotionally a few months before he left and focused his time on our 3 and 4 year old children. That hurt me deep down in my soul. I wore you CD’s out! It was as if you had walked in my shoes! There were so many things that I wanted and needed to say to him and that I needed to hear him say but he wouldn’t open up. After he got on the plane, I fell to my knees, literally in the airport because I felt as though my heart had been ripped out. I didn’t realize that I had been screaming Oh my God, my baby’s gone. There were other spouses there to help me. I thought I was strong enough to handle that day but my heart said I wasn’t. once he got settled he finally “talked to me and broke it down for me” just how much in love with me that he is and how hard it was for him to leave me! He promised to make an effort at communicating with me. It’s been a year since he left and no matter what, he makes the effort to wait in the long lines at the computer center EVERY DAY so that he can see the kids and I. Sometimes it’s as late as 2 or 3 in the morning for him. This is an amazing show of LOVE. In return it’s almost as if he is still here. He’s still an involved parent. He spends time with the kids talking to them about their day, helping our daughter with schoolwork and letting us all know how much he loves us. Now, we listen to that song once a day as a reminder of our love for each other and how important it is to tell the one you love the good and the bad. Thank you for sharing your life with us through song. It saved my marriage and helped us fall in love all over again. Our 8 year anniversary wes July 3rd of this year and I’m so proud to be Mrs. Craig Pryor. Be I am looking forward to seeing you on July 30th in Atlanta. I have to go by myself since my kids and I are here with no friends or family, but with every song you sing, my husband will be in my thoughts. Jill, you are truly blessed and so am I, Take care and keep sharing your heartm mind and soul. Joy Pryor

  434. jill i have allways been impress in your singing and music your a beautiful lady with a great spirit keep yourself as the hardworking strong mind individual that you theres nothing that you can’t complish sing on my beautiful queen every vibe of your voice moves me

  435. Miss Jilly from Philly,
    I trully enjoyed your performance in New Orleans. However, it left me mentally and spiritually full, yet empty. My emptyness is the result of an desire and thirst that sgrowing more and more intense every time I listen to your music. Let me make it plain, you were not on stage long enough, but my growing anticipation to hear you my sister is a beatiful thing. Your steps are ordered and there is ministry in your prensence alone! Continue feeding us whatever God puts in your spirit through your poetry and music. DO YOUR MA MA!

  436. I just wanted to let you know Ms. Jill Scott that your last album really topped all of your other albums and really touch my heart and soul. All of your albums very touch me and helped me grow as a 30 something year woman. You just keep doing what you are doing and God will bless you in every way that he can.

  437. Ms. Scott,

    Your show was explosive last Tuesday in Nashville! I bought tickets as soon as they went on sale. You definitely rocked the Ryman. I just missed the chance to meet you after the show. You rode by in your van and I was so upset that I didn’t meet you in person. You are truly talented and a rare gift to the world. Keep doing what you do!

  438. Jill i am one of your fans that is into the entertainment industry, and would love to be a part of your entourage.
    If there is a chance that i could be, please check me out on myspace. Blessings on top of Blessings to you
    lovily lady. Peace n Love Jaye

  439. Hey Jill,

    Congratulations on your successes!! I met you at Chastain Park in Atlanta (the artist that gave you a self-portrait during the concert) and heard you were coming back to Chastain on July 30. I thought it might be nice to do another piece for you, but I didn’t know if you had any particular photographs that you wanted me to use. Let me know. Either way, hope to see you on the 30th. Janine

  440. you speak the mind and emotions of all women. i can’t think of one race or age group that hasn’t felt the way you sing the words of you songs. i’m one that almost never like all of the songs on one cd, but i am never disappointed with yours i can honestly say that 95% of the songs on any jill scott cd i know well enough to sing along. i just found crown royal, which took me back;). thank you for all you do and say. ttyl

  446. JUST WANT TO SAY UR SUCH A POSITIVE FORCE IN MY LIFE AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU.

  447. Dear Jill:
    I hope this letter reaches you from this site or one of your assistants perhaps sees it and gets it to you. I’m going to be a 59 yr.old bride. My fiance is 72. We’ve been together 13 yrs and we are getting married (finally) on 8-8-08.. It will be an old fashioned Philly block party, with everyone in the neighborhood chipping in to make our day special, I’m sure you know what I’m talking about being from here yourself. Back in the day, before all the operations and health problems, we won dance contests and were quite infamous in W. Philly. People would drop out if they knew we were entered. One of our earliest discoveries in same taste was YOU. Just as we danced sympatico so was our passion for your music. We devoured your every spoken word, waiting impatiently for the next pearls to spring forth from a new album. Jill, I’m not asking you to come to the wedding (but you ARE invited) because I know your schedule must be hectic to say the least and nuts at the most, but I’m asking you to possibly say something that can be played from a CD at the reception from you to my man who loves you dearly (thank God you don’t live any closer). Whatever you can do will be greatly appreciated. Our names are in the N&L space and in response to an E-Mail I will give you additional particulars. Regardless as to what happens we love you, Philly loves you and we are so proud of our native daughter. You aspire to inspire and believe me, in our neighborhood that kind of bravery is not overlooked. It has be my pleasure to introduce my granchildren to GOOD music and you are one of the BEST. I thank you for listening and hope to hear from you (or your people) soon.

  448. Thank you for your poetry (songs). I have never been one for reading poetry or writing it but witrh every cd of your that I buy I take time to read the words first to get an understanding of where you were coming from when you wrote and I just wanna say again thanks.

    Please keep writing and singing. Your voice is truly a breathe of fresh air.

  449. I luv your music. My fiance and I feel that you are one of the greatest, singers/ entertainers that we have ever heard. Any one who used an actual band has to be off the chain. Keep up the incredible work.

  450. Oh my god I love You so much I wish I can meet you .If I met You I think I would cry thats how much I love you…..

  451. Hey Jill, I love all of your cd’s . Can’t wait to see you in Houston. Be eternally blessed and continue to do as ‘He” calls you to do. Leneice

  452. Hi Jill,

  453. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey Jilly from Philly…..Wassup girl…Your voice is remnants of Sarah Vaughn!!!! The ranges you hit are ridiculously sick!!!!!!

Well I got to see the concert the other night on TVONE and this made my day!!!! You looked and sounded simply beautiful….One thing I muuuuuuuust know…..WHERE IN THE WORLD CAN I GET THAT CHOCOLATE DRESS YOU HAD ON AT THE CONCERT???????? That’s all I kept talking about during the tv show was your dress.. It was really really nice. I love your style. “MY LOVE” is my anthem being as though I just found out that my ex is marrying some jawn he only been knowing for a few months so this song really hits home. I LOOOOOOOVE IT. I have it on my myspace page. Keep up the good work. Love, Liz from West Philly

  456. Dear Jill,

    Your words, your voice didn’t stop moving me since the first time I’ve heard you, several years ago. You have that unique ability to turn the experiences of day-to-day life in soulful, powerful and uplifting gems. You really are a gift for all of us! You are a true diva, and your talent stays unmatched.
    Keep it real, Miss Jill!
    Lots of luv,

    Jay

I logged onto this website for the first time tonight and I love it!! I guess you can call me a newby among all your fans, but what can I say, I just simply love your music Jill. Keep putting out beautiful music that inspires people to reach higher. What a blessing it is to be here to witness Jill Scott. God Bless you Jill.

  461. Hi Jill,
    I am a big fan of yours and I love your music. I saw you on M & J Morning Show where you told about your new bra. I have a problem finding bras as well. I was very excited to order the butterfly bra. However, It has been almost two months and I am very disappointed that I haven’t received it yet. I called Ashley Stewart and they have no idea when I will receive it.

  462. u r really and truly the real thing……honest and all

  463. Jill you are a genius. I LOVE YOUR MUSIC!!!!! This last album tho touched in such a way. Especially whenever you’re around. It’s exactly how I feel about this man currently in me life…lonelt wheneber he’s around. he don’t get it tho.

  464. Thank you so much for timing time out to talk to me after your great peformance in Pittsburgh. Your cds are my favorites and I always felt like we were friends since I listen to you and feel you! Meeting you was one of the greatest times in my life and I will never foget it. If you ever need a friend I am here for you. Thanks again, Jennifer

  465. Hello,

    Congratulations! You deserve to be love.

    Only You, Jill Only you can sell out a show. Did you notice that your show at the Hampton Jazz Festival was the only show sold out this weekkend?

    I just wanted to say, it was hot in the place, but you still did your thing as usual.

    You did not smile much last night. Maybe beacuse it was too hot or maybe you were upset or people were in your business, but please contiune to smile.

  466. As you’ve heard a many of time’s Jill we appreciate your words of opportunity that help us explore another light of force way beyond words. Stay focused and willing you are greatness and the beholders eye’s.

  467. I love everything about you are my idol. Im figuring things out as i go along with life too. im at a lost for words. all i can say is keep it up and let them hate on you thats a haters job!!!!!

  469. Do you really have time to read all of your letters? I hope that you do because you are loved by many including me. You touch me and others in so many ways I believe we have created a selfish, imaginary relationship with you. I know if sounds odd but when I listen to your music or see you in concert I feel you are singing only to me…lol.

    Anyway know that you are so loved and appreciated by millions!

    God Bless and take care,
    Lo

  470. Hi, Jill Scott. I just love your music and poetry!! You are wonderful….keep up the good work!! Also, keep the beats coming, because I feel your beats and lyrics!!!! Brava!!!!

  471. Congrats on the engagement!! You desire it.

  472. You are the BIZNESS!!!!! I love you and cannot wait to see you live….Please come back to Orlando

  473. My favorite song on your first album is “One is the magic number” that should be a woman’s national anthem (women of all colors)!!!

  474. I promise my sister is your biggest fan, not to say that I’m not too(lol) and she even looks like you too, no doubt! You are totally awsome! I am so proud to see a sister as talented as yourself that didn’t let the industry dictate “Who” Jill Scott is. Can’t wait to hear more music from you or future film indevors. Continue to be blessed!

  475. I love all of you music. You can just hum and I will love it. I am not gay but am married and no children but 32 years old and you are off of the chain. Sister to sister you go girl.

  476. Jill, I used to listen to your music back in high school. But never really absorbed it- I realize now it’s because of the deep content of your work. My young mind couldn’t quite grasp- lol. So my boyfriend played your tracks from Who is Jill Scott? and oh man!! I was blown away and I haven’t been able to stop listening to your music and having to admit you have quite a bold and simply incredible voice. My ultimate favourites are Honey Molasses, You Love Me and a whole lot of others. I love writing poetry too and find your work and what your music seems to stand for inspiring. Keep up the good work. Oh and really great perfermance in Why Did I get Married. You’ve got skill; that’s a fact.

  477. Jill!!! Hey baby girl (smile) It’s me Shawn..ok.ok stop frontin on your round the way homey (lol) (smile)…”Member we used to play as kids, you know, “Motha’ may I”, “Simon says” and “Red light green light” ? -lol. I am Ms. Sarah’s grandmother on Oakdale Street. Well it’s been mad years since I seen you, I live in CT now and I was in Chi town with the Roots at the VIP legends show at the house of blues and we got to talking about you and I was just telling them that I am so proud of you and all that you have become and all the love that people have shown you in your career. You keep doing what you been doing, although we have not talked face to face in some time…I just wanted to send my love and blessings for continued success. I have a wife and two girls (1 & 3) that love your music and I always tell them that we were kid buddies back in the good old days. Take care and hit me up just to let me know that you got this “Aight??!!!! (lol)

  478. Was at your show last night in Bridgeport, Ct and girl, you turned that place out!!! You are an amazing artist, but more than that you are an amazing WOMAN!! I feel blessed to have been in that place last night. Your last “encore” touched everyone there. Go on Jill Scott, keep doing what you do!!!

  479. Jill, love ya girl. You are a beautiful person. I love the way, YOU represent strong black women. And how you let us know, how to be true and real to yourself, loving yourself, that’s what gives you true happiness.

  483. I would like to let you know that you have really touch me with your music. As a women sometimes feeling used, abused, mis understood, and sometimes confused on which way to go in life . I can always listen to your music and start to mentally put things in there rightful place and let those things that bother or try to bring me down go away. Thank You for being a tap on the shoulder of realizing who I am and who I can become. P.S. I am waiting for the concert her in Cleveland Aug 9,2008

  484. From the first time I saw you on TV, “A Long Walk video”, I have fallen in love with you and your music. The notes, your voice, and your looks…together help me find peace in this crazy world. I’m an Air Force Pilot who travels the world and has been away from home for a long time, music has been my sanctuary. The essence of modern Soul I believe lives through your music.

    When I catch a “Jill Scott moment”, either be it on TV, a magazine, or a song….I find peace.

    Thank you for sharing your gift, beauty and heart.

  485. You really inspire me with my life by listening to your music and watching what you do around the world.

  486. You really inspire me with my life by listening to your music and watching what you do around the world.

  489. Keep doin’ what ya doin’…

    I love your music and all that you do. You are an amazing woman and I am a huge fan of your work. I haven’t been to a live show yet but I know in this lifetime I will be able to go to one and see you perform. Your songs are anthems to my life. You are so “real” and I love you.

  493. Jill,
    I just wanted you to know that I think you are absolutely wonderful. I drove to Memphis, TN to see you perform in March and was blown away. Your voice is terrific and you represent the all the beautiful black women everywhere. I could relate to your words and thoughts, it seemed as if you had opened my head and read my thoughts. I have always been a fan, but seeing you live took it to another level. If you are ever within driving distance I can honestly say that I will be there. You are beautiful!!!!! The records do not give you justice!

  494. what can i say…….I LOVE JILL SCOTT!

    =)

  495. I can’t wait to see you at The Hampton Jazz Festival!!!! I had horrible seat when you came to Chryslter Hall in Norfolk. I hope that we can share a photo together this time. I love you. Marry me!!

  498. I love your CD, every song explains what I try to tell every man that I have ever known , especially da Babiez-Daddiez. What would they really do without US REAL WOMEN! Only GOD knows!!!!!!!

  499. I would like you to perform a concert at Trenton’s War Memorial Building known as Patriots Theater in Trenton NJ.

  500. Hey Jill,

    I just wanted you to know that your are an absolutely Beautiful woman!! I love your music, I incorporated at least 3 songs in my wedding almost 8 years ago. And you continue to give your fans the best you have every time, and I am so grateful for that. You speak to my being when I listen to your music. It’s spiritual, sensual and and very sincere.

    I wish you the BEST in everything, you are so humble and gracious as well as talented and you will continue to be Blessed, just because of who you are.

    I have not had the privalege of seeing you in concert yet; but you will be here in Columbia, Maryland on August 2, 2008 and I will be there.

    Peace and Blessings,
    Sherry M. Jefferson

  501. Jill you are my inspiration

  502. Jill, it’s difficult to express what an influence you have on me and the lives of my “sistagurls”. Your lyrics are in direct alignment with our lives and we call you our “Soul Sistah” Keep doin wat you doin honey cuz we are LUVN your SHINE. See you in August in the Chi!

  503. Girl your words speak to my soul. You are the real deal. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. Be blessed.

  504. Jill,
    You are a beautiful, inspirational human being. When I heard the melodic, poetic sounds of your first album I knew I loved your style; when I recently saw you in concert for the first time on ‘The Real Thing’ tour in Boston I was captivated. I am inspired by your beauty and mesmerized in your presence. I feel a deep connection to you as a hard-working, perseverant sistah who is blessed.

    I will be going to Botswana in July to volunteer. I will be turning 30 while over there so this is a dream come true. My boyfriend knows how much I love you and after some research he found out you are the lead in the movie the No. Ladies Detective Agency of which I have 8 of the books in the series! So, now I have another dream – to attend the debut screening of the film! In the June issue of essence you remarked that after 3 months of filming in Africa and coming back to the US your ‘whole soul was still in Africa’. I am sure that after 3 weeks I will feel similarly.

    I saw you in concert, I am traveling to Botswana in a few weeks and nothing would complete this chapter in my life better than to be at the debut of your film. I love you and I wish many more soul-inspiring years of your presence in the world!

    p.s. I will write again when I return from the motherland!

  505. Hi Jill,
    I just want to say I am very proud of you and I appreciate the survival mentality that you have. You are such a wonderful example of how a strong woman should be. I realize that you are going through a tough time right now, but you’re going to make it. God will see you through! I really admire you and I hope one day I will get the chance to meet you. Stay focused and positive. You’ll make it! Someone will appreciate you for who YOU are and WHAT YOU bring to them in their life.

    Take care Jill

  506. Dear Ms. Jill Scott my friends birthday is drawing near and we have been life long fans of your work, I am writting to know if my friend can have an audience with you just meet you once i know it is ambitious to ask such a thing but because of you she has been inspired to sing infact i know that she is my best friend so i am supposed to say this but she is an excellent singer and an audience with you and some advice would really be inspiring to her and believing you are the woman you convey on your music you know that this will be but a small task fo4r you, did i mention i told her i would do all that i could to make her birthday spiecial…

  507. Hi Jill,

    I love your voice. It’s so natural and serene…not forced at all. That song ‘Daydream’ sounded more whimsical than ever. I like Lupe Fiasco, but I really wish that there would be an extra ‘Daydream’ track that featured only your voice. Simply beautiful.

  508. I am an avid fan of Jill Scott. Her music is emotion. When words can’t express the way that we are feeling, all you have to do is put a tune to it and that tune becomes life. Be it Joy, laughter, anger, depression, or just Love. That is what Jill Scott does. Being a singer myself I know that everything that I sing is connected to my heart, my spirit, and my emotion and I just thank Jill for being just a beautiful black woman that embodies, strength, courage, joy and perserverence. Being a single mother of 4 I remember times when her songs would just encourage me enough to continue to press on. I thank you Jill for letting us in on a part of your life because I know that if we look past the camera’s, fashion, and make-up, you have invited us into your life to have a sister-to-sister convo with you on your struggles, your trials, and your victories. Thank you Jill for just being you. God Bless.

  509. Hello Ms. Jill Scott :)

    I can’t imagine how busy a woman you are, and to take care of home being a mother and all while still managing to keep a level head with all that you do. Hats off to you…… I am being pushed by my mother to get into opening my own business and that is why I’m turning to you for some advice/ ideas. I don’t want to put my business out in the open before I can even get my feet off the ground. ” I know that alot of people look on this site so if you could please contact me at my web page, I would appreciate that.

  516. Jill,
    I am a 15 year old fan of yours. I couldn’t wait to try your Butterfly bra, because, like yourself, I am very full-figured. I saw you at the Fox Theater in St. Louis in March and I was wondering if you were wearing the Butterfly bra. I have checked the bra out at the Ashley Stewart site but you only go up to DDD. I was hoping you would make some larger cup sizes. I need a FF. Do you think you will expand your sizes?

  517. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASEE COME TO IRELAND! <3333333333

Just wanted to thank you for embracing being a full figured beautiful woman and in turn, helping me to love myself curves and all! You are truly an inspiration and I love you for it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
    Your music has helped me through the tough times!

  527. Just wanted to say Thankyou Ms. Scott. I am currently going through a divorce and because the love dried up before it died, I forgot how deep love can go until I spent a couple of days listening to ‘The Real Thing’. Thanx for taking me ‘there’ in a clean way. Powerful cd! Helped my get my ‘mojo’ back. lol.
    Take Care, Love….JW

    And might I add, you keep reppin’ it gul! You are one very, very, very, attractive lady – inside and out.

  528. Jill, you are a true inspiration to young musicians and vocal artists like myself! I admire the talent that you have been blessed with and I know that you are putting your gift to excellent use. I love the image that you portray for women across the nation and will continue to support you in every step of your carreer.
    Best Wishes,
    An admiring fan!

  529. Jill Scott , I have been a fan of yours from the beginning, I’ve watch you grow in your vocals and performance. We love you here in philly ,stay strong and powerful.

    Love and Peace

  530. Jill Scott,
    I really love your music and followed you since the 1st album. Went to see you in concert in Paris each time you came… but won’t do for your next show. 50 euros (75 dollars) for the ticket. You’re most probably not responsible for this and you’re not the only one but it’s worth telling it like it is: live soul music has become an entertainement for rich people only. Too bad.
    Pim

  531. Go head girl! you doing the damn thang!! I just want to send you much Love and your continuing success!

    from one Diva to another… Ms TJ

  532. I loved your show in Memphis, can’t wait to see you at the Essence Festival 08. You go girl with your bad self.

  533. Greetings,
    Ms. Jill Scott my name is Lauren and I am 18 years old. I love your music!!! you are as real as it gets and you inspire me to continue to write and express myself even when the things i feel are hard to say or admit to. Keep doing what you do and be Blessed!!! Come Back To HAMPTON,VA soon PLEASE lol

  534. Hey Jill!!!
    I want to first say how much of a fan I am of your music… You are, without a doubt, a true artist whose passion shows through your music!!! Your essence is pure and genuine… Please keep making great music… I think I have to be the biggest male Jill Scott fan in the world… My girlfriend laughs whenever I tell her that you and I are engaged to be married….lol… I think she understands…lol… i saw on the website that you are coming to Atlanta at the end of July…. I really look forward to seeing you live on stage… me and my lady missed your last few performances here in ATL due to work… Iknow you are probably very busy so I will not hold you too long… May God Bless You Always!!!

    -Charles “Chuck” Fort

  535. Jill, I have always loved your music! The things you have sung me thru, the memories you have brought back to life, you have no idea. When I discovered you were in Tyler Perry’s movie I got it immediately. Your performance was unbelievable! I can not wait to see you in more films!

  536. Ms. Scott,

    I am a 42 year old divorcee, seeking my “soul mate.” I hate the dating scene however, your music has inspired me to not give up. I just want to say to you, “dont give up.” Your BEAUTY should be treasured by YOUR man. I pray one day that I may simply meet you, look you in your eyes and say, “don’t give up.” I look forward to that day.

  537. Hello Jill you are gods gift to full figure women your music is so touching me and my husband just get closer when we hear your voice and not because we are too from philly I just would like to know if your butterfly bras will be coming out in a larger size because i am an 44H and i too get those lines on my shoulders and i’m only 5feet tall. We love you and keep on being real philly love’s you The Coley’s

  538. dear jill,
    you amaze me, my spirit comes through in ever song you sing picture you write and interview you do. it warms my heart to see a beautiful black woman that has chosen not to conform to the pressures, and standards of society or those of the music business. every song you sing seems like i couldnt have written the words myself, they speak to my soul,they are deep and full of love, joy, hope, forgiveness, fun and sometimes pain, your songs soothe me in my time of need, and provide me with anthems that i can scream to at my happpiest. keep up the good work, i send blessings of health, happiness, and prosperity.
    Sancia :-)

  539. I WISH YOU THE BEST IN ALL YOUR MANY ENDEAVORS, YOUR MUSIC HAS REMEDIED SO MANY DIFFICULT SITUATIONS FOR MYSELF, AND I HAVE LEARNED THAT THERE IS LIFE AFTER HEARTACHE, I APPLAUD YOU AGAIN, AND I PRAY IN OVERCOMING, I WILL HEAR THAT SAME VOICE OF REASSURANCE.

  540. Will you please come back to Orlando?

  541. Your music shows the essence within! I love your essence!! God gave you wings….it’s nice to hear and see you fly!!!

  555. I love your music Ms.Scott I have all your cds and I happy you came out with a new bra for plus size woman since I’m a sista big bone ok holla love ya stay sweet…

  556. Jill,

    I would like to say that I admire all that you do in the Black community and also how you represent plus size women. I think that your songs and your acting is phenomenal. It is refreshing to see an celebrity that is humble. I have always respected all that you do, but after seeing you on Real Life Diva’s this morning (5-25-08) I gained much more respect for you. Every interview that I may see you in, you seem very down to earth, you came to Detroit, MI and my wife and I was upset cause we missed your concert. But we will catch your concert. We wish you many blessings and also all the luck in the world in all that you do.

  557. Just saw you on Real Life Divas. You are a real life diva. Keep it live.

    Cherylene

  558. Hi Ms. Jill,
    I would like to say thank you for your latest music. I love all of the music you have made to date. But this particular cd hit me where I live, love and where I am right now in life. Keep uplifting us Jill.

  559. “Well hello Ms. Scott.”

    I love your music and even though we do not know each other, I respect you.
    You (are) a beautiful soul walking this earth in the flesh. I saw (Why did I get married) and I was told by many people that I needed to see the move because it was good.
    What I didn’t know was that you played the woman that I played in real life and that is what everybody I know wanted me to see. Even the two men in my life. Now my hasbeen “I don’t like to call him my husband wants me back.

    I would love to meet you one day Ms. Scott.
    Take care. ;)

  560. Been a fan from beginning and still love the beautiful sounds that you come with every time. luv ya! stay blessed always.

  561. I first saw you at Hampton University Homecoming 2002. I have been a true fan since. You words of poetry are so spiritual in depth. Stay true to yourself and you will stay true to your fans. Blessings

  562. Ms Scott,
    WOW OMG..the music and the women. You are delectable and intoxicating

  563. I just have a simple request. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE put out a live dvd of the “The Real Thing” tour.

  564. You are a true Blessing to me. You inspire me daily because you are an over-comer,with your life , music,and being healthy. How did you do it?

  565. I really love your music you are a real inspiration to me and many other’s I’m sure .

    Glad to write to you,
    Daniel Roland

  566. Thank you so much for being you and staying true to you. I have your latest CD and I LOVE IT! I listen to it all day everyday. Keep up the Great work your doing.

  567. i love your music and your style. u are a very beautiful person inside and out. me and my fiance listen to your music all the time.

  568. Dear Ms. Scott,

    I wish I had not neglected to write to you for 2 months after the Indianapolis concert. I was the young lady in the front row that was proposed to. I cannot tell you how much that moment meant to me.

    The concert was a surprise for me. I didn’t know I was coming to see you. We travel for a living and he drove 400 miles out of the way (which meant he had to drive that 400 miles so I could to be work on time the next day) to make it happen.

    He told me he knew that somehow, someway you would be involved in the proposal; he was just waiting for the occasion to rise.

    Thank you acknowledging him so that he could ask me to be his wife.

    Also, I’d like to thank you for pushing through your fears to be who you are today. So many people are held back by fear. “Fear is not of the present, but only of past and future – which does not exist.” I think that was said by Buddha..but I’m not sure.

    You are paving the way for others to come forward and be comfortable with who they are. For me, I believe this is the key to life: to accept who you are and what your path was, is and will be. You are an important movement in this idea-not just for women, but for all people because we all share the same basic struggles.

    In a few short months, I will have my website up and running to promote comfortable with our sexual side by being comfortable with mine. Its an important project for me.

    The concert was incredible! I’ve seen you once before in Detroit and the band was..wow..just…everything i hoped they would be and more. My fiance is a drummer and I am a former student of jazz and…yeah lol It was bad ass…

    The one thing I was disappointed with (not the concert) was your album..unfortunately. I found it ironic that it was called The Real Thing yet…the musical backing behind you was clearly not (except for the few songs on which there were actual musicians playing). It isn’t as if I have been oblivious to the samples that were used on other studio albums..but this one…this one sounded..I’m sorry to say, but cheap, musically speaking. I was glad to hear the band at the concert. I don’t know why musicians wouldn’t be used to come in, play the chart and head out in a few hours. Unless, the point was to lure us to the concert to hear the Real Thing…I’m confused by it I think.

    Anyway, I was just very disappointed, musically speaking, when I bought the album. That is my one and only concern. Other than that…well i think i’ve said enough already :)

    Peace my friend. I wish you nothing but happiness.

    Namaste.

    April Lee (Soon to be Volpe)

  569. Sistah, I love your style, voice and artistry! Your are truly an inspiration to this poet/songwriter. “MY LOVE” has been a soundtrack during my rough time. Thank you for making it. And thank you immensely for all of your work – singing and acting. Don’t stop! Stay beautiful – inside and out.

    PEACE & LOVE…

  570. Jilly from Philly Duchess B on the MySpace.com scene…. I just love your “The Real Thing” CD or whatever…. whatever! and your collaborations with tsome of the most jazzy old schoolers like sergio Mendes&Al Jarreau but most of all I love me some J-I-L-L- S-C-O-T-T….!!!! You wer born on April 4,1972 and my six months apart and between the two of you 36+36=72 years will be among the two of you when she turns 36 on Oct 4,2008! Keep up your latest butterfly designs girlfriend, the movies and the singing until you can’t design act, and sing no more….
    Lots O’ Love !

    Lady Duchess B

  571. Dear Jill,
    I am so proud of you. Thank you for the bra creation. I was doing exactly what you were saying, two bras at one time to compensate for what the the other wouldn’t. I am ording one on the new bras now but just wanted to let you know how wonderful I think you are. You are a great actress hope to see you in more movies.
    Sincerely Cherry

  572. I have enjoyed all of your albums(CDs) so much and it is amazing to see all of your accomplishments in acting, fashion, and music. Thank you for your gift and example.

  573. I saw your segment on the Mike and Juliet show about the butterfly bra and I think it is a great idea I am a plus size girl myself but I have to by bras that are bigger around but I am small when it comes to cup size.

  581. Greetings my sister, I would like to express how much I love your music. It is still hard to believe that I actually love music made by a female vocalist other than Chaka Khan! Your style is poetic and I appreciate some one with a poetic mind. I saw you in concert in Memphis, TN in 2004 and YOU rocked! I am a huge fan! Keep bringing words that make sense and keep me as a dedicated fan :) PS. JSISTB!

  594. Hey Jill,

    It’s been many years since the London tour, and in that time I’ve continued to follow your career. How wonderful that you’ve continued to grow and follow the path that you’re both passionate about and gifted in. I never did have the opportunity to tell you how that short time we worked together was such an inspirational and uplifting experience in my life… So I’m taking this opportunity to thank you for being a ray of sunshine at a time when I hovered under many dark clouds.
    Congratulations on the launch of The Butterfly Collection and much continued success!
    Warmest thoughts,

  595. Just wanted to send some luv your way. I am a fan for sure and hope that you continue to evolve into the great woman you are. I also think that you are a great actress. I enjoyed watching you act in the movie “Why Did I Get Married”. Your character is a woman that a lot of black women can relate to. I loved the way Shiela gained back all of her confidence and at the same time was able to appreciate a good man even though she was hurt in her previous relationship. Continue to do you .
    Peace and Blessings

  599. Madam Jill,

    Good Afternoon,

    “One can only admire such an amazing person for so long before depositing back into their spirt what they have serviced to you.” So I must take the time to express my gratitude to you. Jill, if Imay, you are beautiful in every aspect of the word. Your spirt is a difribulater to an acheing heart. Your music alone is beyond comprehension. It sends me into a land of love dancing like the wind and flowing like a river. My spirit has been nudging me to write to you and confirm what’s coming to you this year for your faithfulness. It’s time, no holds, limits or restrictions. I am so happy to experience your presence in this lifetime, Thank You! :o ) I look forward to meeting you soon. May God Bless.

  600. Jill,

    I am making plans to come to see you in concert near the ATL again.

  601. I really enjoy Jill’s music it speaks the core and soul of a person. When Jill sings the words just draw you in.

  602. I just wanted to say I much I love your music. I hate I missed you when you came to Saint Louis.

  604. HELLO MS. SCOTT. MY NAME IS EDDIE. I WOULD SAY THAT I AM YOUR BIGGEST FAN, BUT I’M SURE YOU GET TIRED OF HEARING THAT. I AM THOUGH, ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST FANS. I THINK YOU ARE ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN IN THE WORLD, IF NOT THEE MOST. YOU ARE SO ATTRACTIVE INSIDE AND OUT. I DON’T KNOW YOU LIKE THAT, BUT LISTENING TO YOUR MUSIC OVER THE YEARS HAS GIVEN ME THE IDEA OF HOW PASSIONATE YOU ARE ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOUR MUSIC. I’M NOT A CELEBRITY, CEO, FAMOUS ATHLETE, OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT I’M THE TYPE OF GUY WHO EVERYONE GETS ALONG WITH. I AM A 35 YEAR-OLD DIVORCED YOUNG MAN WHO KNOWS HOW TO TREAT A WOMAN, AND WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY ARISES AGAIN, I KNOW GOD WILL BLESS ME WITH MY “GOOD THING”. I WOULD LOVE FOR IT TO BE YOU, BUT I’M THINKING REALISTIC RIGHT NOW. YOU ARE DEFINITELY A MODEL OF WHAT I WANT MY WIFE TO LOOK LIKE, BECAUSE YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL. JUST TO MEET YOU ONE GOOD TIME WOULD JUST DO WONDERS. BUT ANYWAY, I DON’T WANT TO TALK YOUR EARS OFF, I HOPE THAT YOU ARE READING THIS INSTEAD OF ONE OF YOUR ASSIGNED “PEOPLES”. MUCH LUV 2 YA!!! I HOLLA!!! BY-THE-WAY. I LOVED YOU IN TYLER PERRY’S MOVIE “WHY DID I GET MARRIED”. THE SHERIFF IN THAT MOVIE PRETTY MUCH DESCRIBED ME. A SIMPLE REPLY WOULD BE GREAT, KNOWING IT WAS FROM YOU OF COURSE. LUV YA DIVA. EDDIE ELLERBEE, GARNER, NC.

  605. You truly are an inspiration through music, words, and writing. You’re book “the moments, the minutes, the hours…” brings out every emotion in me. Thank you!! Blessings to you and your career. I am a TRUE FAN.

  606. I truly appreciate your style and poetic flow. You’re true to who you are and thats what works. From an aspiring songwriter and fan since you stepped on the scene. May you have long success. “Chanda Nicole”

  607. your sings are great,and i can really relate to all of them.

  608. I saw you perform once in Paris and it was earth-shatteringly, good!!!

    I love your work and hope you are around for a very long time! :)

    <3 Kat

  609. I like your music. And I think you’re sooo stunning and sexy. But my favorite work of yours, so far, is without question your playing “Sheila” in Why Did I Get Married?

  610. Hey girl, First i wanna say YOU ARE MY FAVORITE!! My husband can testify to that. LOL You are a wonderful singer and I have always GROOVED to your music. Gettin in da way oh my gosh and Your band LOVE EM. I was hurt when I couldn’t get to your concerts but Ya coming to da”A” and I’m be there.!! Keep doin what ur doing. !!!Love YA

  611. Hey girl, First i wanna say YOU ARE MY FAVORITE!!

  612. Jill i grew up on 23rd and Oakdale street in philly. You used to send me to the store for your mother Joyce. I had blonde hair and was Ms Sara Swan grandson. I never knew you had so much talent. One luv

  613. I wanted to take the time out to let you know that you are an amazing person, as well as a wonderful performer. I have finally taken the time out to listen to your music, after many years of briefly seeing your videos and hearing your music on the radio. It is not just your unique voice, but also your wonderful personality that you let your audience experience with each performance. Your music in itself is an experience – life, love, family. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, as well as making this beautiful, positive music that this world so desperately needs! May God continue to bless you!

  614. I am an artist, starving, as a matter of fact, lol. Also I have been writing poetry for as long as I can remember. Ever since the 2nd grade. From the first time I could write elaborate thoughts on paper. I always had musical talents as well, and I wanted to always be either a professional singer, or rapper. Ever since I first heard you perform with The Roots, I became that much more dedicated to my craft, allowing the world to see things through my own distinctive view. However, as of late, the guy I’ve been performing with, the poorly titled “Big E Pac”, has been on this “gangsta” image kick, and I find there is no audience for my sound. If you ever feel so inclined to check my page out, if a busy woman like you even bothers to read her mail! Please read at least one of my poems in my blog, your input would make so much of a difference to me. Also, on your new album, “Crown Royal” is my favorite, and when you got married, broke my heart, miss! LOL

    Your fan for life,
    Magnificent Mic-T

  615. I was so sad in March because I missed you concert in St. Louis

    One Love,
    Trici

  616. Jill!!
    You performed in ST Lous the show was AWESOME!!!
    Love you music and poetry..please continue to be real..no matter what.

    Praying for you

    “B”

  617. Hi Jill! hope you read this message, I live in Reunion Island which is a little part of France in middle of indian ocean next to Mauritius;
    I love what you do, all your songs are an extraordinary experience!
    I love philly sound, I discovered it with you
    Thank you for all that you bring me, I recognised me in what you describe, you are not only a singer, you are more than that! you’re irreplaceable for me, hope I see you one day on the scene.
    Love you… lilibelle xxxxxx

  618. I just had to add my 2 cents in as well as the others. I too have been converted into an all our Jill Scott fanatic ever since March 16 at the Landmark in Richmond Va. Never before have I been moved by anyone in concert than the Exquistie Jill Scott. I would not even call it a concert, It was indeed an EXPERIENCE! Ever since seeing Dave Chappelle’s block party I have always been intrigued by the fact she asked the interviewer if he as seen her perform. She was to go on after Eryka Badu’s great performance, but she was confident enough to know that she is just as good and perhaps better without having to say it without disrespecting Eryka at the same time. That always stayed with me and I was glad to have the chance to see for myself her mastery of the stage, the audience, the atmosphere, the band, the raw emotion and the vocal stylings like no other. I truly love this woman. I will be seeing Jill at the Hampton Jazz Festival in June!

  619. Hey Jill,
    I have been a fan of your music from the beginning and I am still there with you, thank you so much for sharing and giving me music that is real and has true meaning and that is real.

    Thank you and God Bless

  620. Hey Jilly,

    It’s your youngest, biggest fan….. lol!!!! Just wanted to stop by and say hey….. and to also let you know that your song “Golden” is featured on Grand Theft Auto 4. A video game that just came out today….. and it’s so funny because I was listening to the radio station on the game, and your song came on!!!! I screamed “OH MY GOD!!!! THEY’RE PLAYING MY FAVORITE SINGER SONG….!!!!!” My boyfriend was like, baby that sound like Jill Scott…… I looked at him and said, it is Jill Scott!!!!! That’s how you know you’re one of the hottest singers out there…… they put your song on a video game….. YOU GO GIRL!!!!! WE LOVE YOU JILL!!!!
    xoxoxoxoxoxo

    Love ya,

    Nia

  621. Jill, you are truly an original. Your voice and your songs move me beyond words. Please come to Charleston, SC!

  622. Hi Ms. Jill,

    Sheryl

  623. Dear Mrs. Scott

    Your vocals are absolutely beautiful. I only wish that I could hear more of you on the song Daydream. I like it anyways but the rap in it kind of ruined it ( with no offense to Lupe Fiasco). I am writing you this em in hopes to hear you do a remake of this song again with only you in it. I think it would be so beautiful. Thank you for your time and maybe your consideration.

  624. Let me know when you are coming to the Virginia area Mrs Scott. I have never seen you in concert I now have the means ($$) to do so.

  625. I love your work. Your voice is pure as honey. You are the true Queen of what you do. What you do can not be placed in a genre it is too real for anything we having going on right. Now you are truely underated by media and I love you. Your lyrics and words make me a better mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, co-worker and most importantly a black woman I am a better black woman. Thank you Jill Scott for following the guidance of God and using the gift he gave you to enter our lives.

  626. I want express my thanks for bringing the world & esp me your beauty ,your voice & your personal essense not many can express thru music..Your songs all connect with me,they set me free on difficult & quiet times,the ’soul’ in your songs are so deep it gives out to the fans that crave it & shows the strength of your person..Please continue your wonderful journey,you are truly an artist,I look forward to your ‘expressions’ of the future..take care,stay strong,be loved Mo Daud

    God bless you.

  629. Jill-Ever since seeing you in Tyler Perry’s ‘Why Did I Get Married?’, you are my favorite person in the whole world. Since then I have read all about you, watched your videos, listened to your music—I love it all!!! You have touched my heart in a way that no other artist has ever done. Until now I have never, ever felt compelled to even write to or contact in any way an actor/musician/celebrity. You have changed all that just by being you and doing what you do. You are a true inspiration and I hope that I can grasp and maintain your positive thoughts, words and energy.
    Thank you!
    I hope to get to you see you live and in person in July at Cincinnati. I am definitely keeping my fingers crossed!!!!! It would be a life-changing experience for me I am certain.
    Love, Hugs and Kisses!!!!

  634. Hey Jill: you are as Real an artist that I have ever seen. I saw you in st. Louis in March, for the 1st time with my 21 year old daughter, we stayed until the end when you did the short STEP/POETRY. You were amazing, and the wonderful thing is you appeal to generations & nationalities from what I can see. I visited my son/ new daughter-in law.in Japan, about a week after your show. I told everyone about how amazing you were & my European daughter-in-law had your CD, and said she loves you too & so did some of the other people I met where my son DJ’d. Blessing my sister

  635. Hello Jill, you are truly an inspiration! Keep doing what you do!

    Hugs & Kisses

  636. “your beautiful and special in every way imaginable” just as those words say they apply to your phenomenal music miss Jill. Your music is a true description of art. i love you and think of organizing a show here at Nairobi, kenya because you got loads of funs right here.

  639. Hey there! As of March 2008 I am the proud owner of two Jill Scott albums. I had never bought any of your music before, no reason just hadn’t bought any. Well I had the pleasure of being taken to that awesome concert in Birmingham Alabama in March of this year by those girlfriends you mentioned. I wasn’t even that excited cause I was going through some stuff. I was floored!!!! Girl you are bad and so inspiring! I wanted to cry, shout, become a better me, love myself more and so many other things as I listened to you “sang” yo but off and preach all at the same time. The band and background vocalists…. WOW! That concert was unreal. I loved it!!!! I bought the cds the same day I got back into town.

    Thanks for blessing me!!!!

  640. Hi Ms Jill Scott,

    I would like you to know that I truly admire you as an artist. You are a wonderful inspiration for all of the young ladies out there trying to get to know themselves and making a small difference in the world in such big ways. Keep doing your thang gurl!!!!
    By the way, when are you coming back to Montreal? I loved your show at the Metropolis in 2005.

    Much Love,

  641. Dear Ms. Jill Scott,

    My fiance is one of your biggest fans. He recently purchased two tickets for us to see you in concert in Memphis, TN. He bought those tickets as soon as they were available to the public, the total was somewhere around $160.00. However, we missed the concert because I had a family emergency on the same day as the concert and we didn’t even have a chance to give the tickets to anyone. At any rate, what I would like to ask of you is, could you or someone who works for you e-mail me tour dates for your next tour in the U.S.? And if possible hold some front row tickets for me. I will pay for them. He loves your music and I love him. We will be getting married in November and that is the least that I could do for him. He never grumbled or griped about it because he places family as his top priority. Please let me know if you can do anything or if you can not do anything. Have a blessed day.

    Sincerely,

    Tori S. Hill

    P.S.
    You are also invited to the wedding if you would like to come.

  642. I saw you’re latest interview on your latest CD. Loved what you had to say and how bold you are to be so vulnerable to all of us out here. Wanted to say that the light that shines from you, as your gift, can bring out the contempt and negative in others. I had compassion for you when you told of the website you found with many negative statements directed in your direction. I know of theses experiences as an artist. It is a sad thing. Sharing Love seems to be such a struggle in our world of today. So I send out Love and support to you. It is Love that will heal this world. Your words speak of this truth. It seems that this album has done so much healing for you. I am truly happy for you.
    Blessings and One Love
    Peace, La Cat

  643. Must be the Odd one out.. cuz can’t describe how much i luv u Jill.. and you are still discovering yourself..

  646. Hey Jill! You’re so down to earth in your music and in person that I feel like I already know you. I drove to your concert in Indianapolis on 3/25/08 because the Chicago concert wa sold out. You were magnificent! You are a strong and beautiful woman and you represent for women everywhere. Please keep making music and may you be blessed throughout your career.

    P.S. – I hope that you start your own clothing line in the near future. I am a plus size woman and would love to be a model for you. I have no experience, but there is nothing that I wouldn’t do if this oppurtunity came along. I strive for the best in life. :) God Bless!

  647. Jill, I love all of your music and when I got to go to your “Real Thing” concert . I was so amazed and up lifted by your performance. I can relate real well to Music theory and I am looking forward to your next CD and Concert. You are all that and supreme

    I’ve never had a chance to go to one of your concerts but bes believe if you come to Vegas again or if I can catch u in another state, I will be there. I did buy live in Paris and it is Hot!!!!!!!! just like everyone has been saying. It was an awsome experience just watching it, so I know in person it was crazy-sick.

    You are a very beautiful person inside and out, and that is a great thing when I can see your sincerity through the t.v. Please keep doing what you do because you have been a great encouragement to me.

  651. Hello Jill, Yes, I love to listen to your music. I feel like you are singing for me. Sometimes I laugh when I listen to you and sometimes I cry. Thanks for singing from your heart and soul. It means a lot to me.

  652. You have been such a big inspiration for me ever since i heard ur first single back in 2000 ‘Gettin’ in the way.’ I was just 14 back then, and i was thinkin alot back then about life, and love, what kinda music i liked and what career i wanted to follow. I realised back then i want to be a sound engineer/Music record Producer, and your style of music made me discover other artists and producers that deliver that smooth Jazz/R’n'B sound, of love, chillin with my girl in my case, feelin good and also takin ‘ a long walk’ in nice places like the park. ever since i heard ur music from back then its like each single just opens a new good sound to the ears in the jazz/r’nb genre. its real good. Hopefully when God guides me to be a music producer/sound engineer i would be real honoured to work with you one day,or even get your autograph would be good too lol. All the best. Salman Gul.

  653. jill,

    ms. lady,
    i must give you your props! every cd you have made has been an inspiration to me i listen to your music all the time. you are a beautiful, black woman, a diva, an inspiration a blessing keep doing what you do! keep doing the way you do! i love you dearly …… keep your head up and struttin your stuff my sistah!!!!

  655. i saw you in Chicago a few weeks ago and I was blown away. Jill girl I love you. Your voice is amazing and you always make a song that I swear is just what I have been through or going through at the time of its release.

  656. DEAR Ms J-I-L-L- S-C-O-T-T……..JILL SCOTT REPERESENTING NORTH PHILLY!!!!!!

    My name is Sharde and I’m 21 year old junior,aviation major who loves u from ya hair folicle to ya toe nails! I use to be such an “at risk teen”, until i was introduce to you. Alot of people think I am too young to understand you, but your messages are so clear even a 10 year old can dig it. OMG!!! ” i have to admit…..sometimes, i feel weak for loving you the way that I do!!!!!” You are such an inspiration in my life its radicle!!! Everybody be hating, but i always let them know that I am going to do me.. I only listen to You!!!! Sista you put me in da best mood ever!!!! I love you so much!!! I know everybody say this…n this is ya team reading this, but you are such an important individual in my life!!!! i listen to you when i wake up, in the shower, getting dress, studying, on my way to class, on my way to work, on my break, leaving work, soon as i get home, and as I am going to sleep! Everybody who knows me always got something to say, but they don’t feel you like I feel you! Ive found out that that sometime as i speak in jus day to day conversation a line from one of ya albums may slip out, jus to explain certain situations. And God forbid don’t let anybody disrespect you…you’s think you was my cousin or something…lol…even lost friendships because i LOVE u so much. BUMP YA EX-HUSBAND—I know ya love is deeper, tighter, sweeter, higher, flyer…n we all know that!!! You are so Gorgeous, Intelligent, sophisticated, strong, deep, and REAL!!!!! It is so crazy how I could be having the worst day in the world, but soon as i here ya voice all of a sudden everything changes. My mom and I got hook back on the first album and every since then everybody else i listen to jus faded away… no one was as real as you were…besides (tupac) :) ..r.i.p….. but you rock!!!! Your voice is so lovely and peaceful…. You hit every note, and is totally shiting on opera singers anywhere in this world…So i was going through a rough time, and couldnt get tickets to da Real thing tour in norfolk va, because it was sold out… so then my friend suprise me with the tickets in richmond. So I went that sunday night and u were Remarkable!!!! i almost melted. I stood and shouted the whole time, by myself…. everyone around me was looking at me crazy but i dould care less, because I felt like they were wasting seats because they was acting as if you weren’t blowing the mic away!!! that made me upset… But u still showed off to that stuck up crowd…they aint really get into it until u ask them to tell ya how they felt if you wasnt here!!!!!…..but the very first time i saw u it was in ATL outside at the sugarwater festival, and it was you, kelis,queen, n badu…i was so excited, and couldn’t wait to see you….I went with my mother, whos my best friend, and 4 of her girlfriends…being that it was at chastain park they brought a picnic set. one of my moms firend brought shrimp, n a butter warmer and all.. Mind you I’m extremely allergic to shell fish, i stayed as far as way as possible, but it didnt help…i blew up like a ballon and couldnt really breathes, and all my throat n face started getting covered with hives…. My mom felt so bad, and i was sad, but you didnt come out yet……and i refuse to leave until you jamed “cross my mind” so i stayed n the most discomforting way ever, barely could breathe, but was still in da stands screaming and shouting!!!!! i didnt care if i had to leave out on a strectcher, i had to see my girly perform, and as usual did a outstanding job!!!!!! I really wish you were my friend/aunt/cuz/ something, you are so amazing!!! and i wish everyone would understand where i be coming from!!!! I know all da fans is like she’s O’D'ing, but it is wat it is….and yall can’t hate me for loving the Best… I consider you as my guardian angel here at Hampton University… You the only person that keeps me sane in this F-up skool, and a deep motivation, so my children to grow up to be smarter than me. As I am late to class… dont matter because jill comes first alot in my life!!!… u n my dvd player, cd player upstairs, in the car, n on da da sidekick…u help me realize that you have to live ya life like its golden, n that even if they don’t recognize me…..I’m here, I’m here, I’m here.

  668. Hey Jill, Girl, girl, girl i am a fan here in Bham, Al. and i attended the concert you gave here on May 31,2008 it was the BUSINESS, i totally enjoyed myself by myself my child thought it was not cool for me to attend by myself but i had a ball. You captivated the audience until i did not sit down during the whole concert, talking about pinky toe!!) Your music tell such real stories of things that i have gone through like you song Whenever Your Around. enough said . Cant wait to see you in conert again, even if its a neighboring state i will hop a plane for that kind of entertainment.
    Be Blessed

  669. I recently watched ‘The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency’ on tv in the UK and I was blown away. Even more so when I read afterwards that Jill is American. The drama was absolutely fantastic and the acting was superb. All that and I’ve still never heard her sing!!!

  670. Keep it up! Continue to shine day-to-day. You are defintely the real thing. Aside from that, I have to know, what kind of lipgloss do you wear? I have search high and low for the best gloss and nothing has come close to what i need. I know its not MAC, is it Bobbi Brown?

  671. Hello Ms Jill Scott,

  673. Oh,my gosh! I attendend your show in Memphis,Tn on 3/27/08. It was so AWESOME! I think that it was also a great idea that you performed at the Orpheum Theatre. It was the perfect setting for your music style. I have loved your music every since your debut. Please keep doing what your doing. You make music that touches peoples souls. I think there were times during the concert that I just wanted to run down there and just HIGH-FIVE you. I’m sure you don’t have time to read every email you receive, but if by some cosmic twist of fate you read this one: KNOW THAT ME AND MY GIRLFRIENDS SACRIFICED OUR LAST DIMES TO BE THERE WITH YOU AND IT WAS WORTH EVERY SINGLE ONE! Keep up the great work in your music and on the big screen.

  674. Happy Birthday Queen Jill! You are an awesome entertainer, thanks for sharing your gift. Many many more blessings to you!

    Your Fan and Supporter,
    Teresa

  683. Hi, Jill

    I have been enjoying your music for a long time. The concert in St. Louis was AMAZING!!!! I have never been to a concert were the people did not want the show to end.(Me included, of course). The song He Loves Me, was so special to me and my husband. We were in tears when you sang that song, it was played at our weddding, honoring him. Your voice is so beautiful live! Thank you for all the memories in the past, and I’m looking forward to the future ones. Keep up the beautiful, soulful, truthful, and inspirational music. I will always be a fan!!

  684. For April 4th. Happy B-Day to you and to me!
    I hope you have a blessed week!
    My husband and I will be in the house when you return to the ATL…we always are and you are such a blessing!! A FAN for years past and years to come.

  685. I attended the Jill Scott “EXPERIENCE” on March 29, 2008 in B’ham. I will be sure to attend any Jill Scott function that goes down in my city or any surrounding areas when I can. I admit that I have not purchased any of your works as of yet but right up there with soap, toothpaste,toilet paper, Jill Scott cds will always make my “must have” list. Please forgive my ignorance; I didn’t know how much you I had in me until I witnessed for myself the “EXPERIENCE” OF JILL SCOTT. Thank you so much for using what GOD has given you to reach the masses of STRONG, BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMEN. Keep uplifting us.

    Love you as a sister and friend,

  689. Hi Jill,
    Girl……you are the ‘real thing’. I was at the last stop of your tour in Birmingham, AL. Your performance is beyond words. I don’t think the words to describe you have been created yet. You are truly a lady with a dominating presence and commanding voice. I won’t trip by saying that I am your #1 fan, but I truly adore you and am an avid fan of your music. I have all of your CD’s and the DVD, ‘Why Did I Get Married?’.

    Your style of sharing about your life’s journey’s is much appreciated and allows your audience to connect with you that are going through or have experienced similar situations. Your music’s sultry, provocativeness has a foreplay flava that is electrifying. I really appreciate your music and admire you as a woman for ‘doing the doggone thang.’

    God bless you, Jill. Your are truly priceless and certainly, The Real Thing!

  690. WOW!!!! I just wanted to say thanks for the EXPERIENCE of a lifetime. I have never been to a show where I was made to feel like “we were just hanging out with the artist”. But that is how you made “us” feel. I will never forget the experience. I have been unable to come down from the JILL SCOTT high. LOL Thanks so much for giving to your fans like you do. I hope you know the energy that you have is so electric that it’s uncomparable. I hung aroung hoping to get a chance to say THANK YOU personally. But until I am able to do so I hope you get a chance to read this. You are worthy of every award out there, and believe when I say if you leave it up to your fans we will create new one for you to have. Much love and respect to THE REAL THING, JILL SCOTT. I love uou.

  691. Real, uplifting, poetic, amazing, so amazing, one of the best performances I’ve experienced to date.That’s how I felt after finally experiencing Jill live in Memphis, TN(3/29/08). Oh, and by the way I am Shante. My husband is now a true fan. He says we’ll never ever miss your concerts. Keep doing what you’re doing. Thanks, Jill.

  692. Hi Jill,

    I just want to say thank you. Thank you for sharing your story, your life, your self with us. I was at your concert in Birmingham, AL on March 30 and it was everything I’d hoped and more than I’d imagined.

    Take care of yourself. You give so much – just take care of you. Much love.

  693. I love and enjoy every song you have written and sung!!! You are a QUEEN!! May God Bless You Always Jill!!!

  694. I enjoyed your show in Memphis on Friday, March 28th. Your show was very awesome and you are a great performer. You are a very gifted woman and it was an honor to watch your show. You are a true queen.

  695. Jill,
    I just want to say that I was very delighted to see in Indianapolis. The show for Chicago was sold out so the drive to Indianapolis was well worth it. Everything that you sang about is real, every human being need to look at you as a example of life and how we are to live life and except life to the fullest. With the grace of God I plan to see you in Atlanta for another breath taking performance. My God be with you and bless you every day of your life.
    Love and Peace

  696. Jill,
    I saw you last night for your last tour in the great Magic City, Birmingham, AL. It’s never felt like magic to me before until last night! I can honestly say now that I have had a natural high! I mean seriously, this morning I woke up with a hangover and I didn’t drink nor smoke anything yesterday… at all.
    I am truly your number one fan and was able to sing every lyric to all songs that you have out. Not only that I was also able to know what songs you were going to do next just by the things you were saying. I was all the way in the back love, but I boldly walked to the front just to see your beautiful face up close and “personal’. I would have loved to have sat and chatted with you, but I know that was something that could and probably will never be. But to have that chance…
    I call you my big sister because it’s like you know me. Everything you sing about I can relate to it. I am deeply honored that I was able to see you last night. It was way more than I really dreamed it to be. I will always be your soulsister, and who knows I dreamed and prayed to actually see you in concert, so I’m going to do that some more and maybe one day we could have breakfast/lunch/ or dinner together and just talk.
    I love you from my soul and I know definitely now that you are a living legend. Many prayers and blessings for what I know is coming your way.
    Sister, your soul is beautiful and I want you to always stay the same. Let no one steal your joy, even if you end up with not a thing(God forbid!).
    I Love you, I love you, I love you and always will. You have gained a whole new respect from me. I’ve been following you since 2000, and will until the end, and even then I hope you come back like 2Pac(lol)
    Thank you for making part 1 of my dream come true. Again I love you.
    You’re NUMBER ONE FAM and I meant FAM… your sister in Christ…
    Crystal Adams
    “lyricallysweet”

    P.S. You really are the realest thing in radio, T.V., big screen and life!!! When God made you… He really broke the mold… keepme laughing, smiling, crying, realizing, and most of all… BELIEVING!!!

  697. Jill,
    I saw you perform last night in Birmingham, AL for your last tour stop. I can’t describe how I felt last night. You are Light, Rain, Heat, Cool, Smooth, Woman, Love, Passion, and Exaltation all rolled into one. Your gift of song and performance grabs me like only a few artists can do. Ms. Scott I am referring to the greats like Sade, Stevie, Erykah, Sarah Vaughn. I am addicted to your voice and I had to keep myself from weeping last night. I just want to say thank you. Blessings to you, and all your future endeavours. Don’t stop doing you baby. You are the REAL thing and my connection is not just with your music but your energy and spirit you give with your music. I love you and may God keep you.

    Thanks for blessing Birmingham,
    LOL

  700. Jill, Jill, Jill, what other word to describe you other than phenomenal! The words that melts into my ears from your mouth are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. My husband and I attended your concert in Birmingham last night and you gave it to us girl, ya did ya darn thang! I feel like you are that sister/friend that I love to be around when I put your music on. Your music speaks to me and it always has since you very first album I love all of your music you will truly be a legend after it is all said and done. My daughters 3&6, said momma we want to see Jill Scott, and was arguing over who was going to get to see you girl! Hopefully we will get to meet you one day! Thank you for the ultimate Jill Scott experience! Iesha

  701. Congrats on the much deserved success on the latest album! Missed you in Boston, but hoping to head down to the Essence Festival this summer!
    Favorite song is My Love. Man!! I have never heard a song that just rocked me to my very core this jam. It’s so raw and powerful, and it just rings me to tears every time. It’s so beautiful!
    Look forward to New Orleans!!!
    Much Love!

  702. I wanted to let you know that you were EXCELLENT at the concert you recently did in Memphis. I was at the SOLD OUT concert on Friday night Mrach 28th and oh my goodness you are GREATNESS and GOD has really Blessed You. You are an inspiration to me and you give me confidence, I felt renewed when I left your concert. Your concert was the first ever in my life no joke and I had a damn good time. Looking foward to seeing you in the future and I look foward to buying more albums from JILL SCOTT. Keep doing your thang as I know you will.

  703. Jill I just want to say, I was blessed to be able too see your performance in Birmingham, Al on March 30th. You were and are simply SPLENDED! I stood on my feet and danced to your lyrics the entire two hours. And yes moma had on some of those shoes! I simpley love your music and the woman that this tired world is making you out to be. If the struggles of life are shaping you, I ask God to shaped me and make me out ot be as strong as you have are. The struggles that us black women have to go through are nothing but battles that can only kill us or make us stronger. Thank you for your incouraging words in the lyrics that you write.
    Your truely

  704. JUST LEFT YOUR SHOW IN BIRMINGHAM,AL. JUST RETURNING, TO CHATTANOOGA,TN. AND JUST HAD TO LET YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH I TRULY, ENJOYED WHAT YOU HAD TO GIVE TONIGHT. I PRAY THAT GOD WILL CONTINUE TO ALWAYS KEEP HIS HAND ON YOU,AND LOVING ARMS AROUND YOU. KEEP DOING WHAT HE’S GIVEN YOU TO DO. ALSO, YOU LOOK EVER SO, THE BLACK QUEEN YOU ARE TONIGHT,AND AS ALWAYS. GOD BLESS.

  705. Ms. Jill Scott’

    Sweetheart, I love you more then words can express. I wanted to know, when will you be returning to Florida?? Everyone in Miami wants you back a.s.a.p. Please come back to us soon.

    p.s. I can’t wait to see #1 Ladies Detective Agency on HBO. When will it air?

  706. Jill… Gurrrrrrrrrrl, my sister & I saw you in Indianapolis this past week, and you GOT OFF!!!!!!!!
    I’ve been to plenty of concerts, but this one was ranked #1!!! It was worth every penny and more, and next time you come anywhere close to Cincy, I want to be on the front row!!! This chick keeps it REAL…hence THE REAL THING!!!!!!

  707. I’ve loved your music since I first heard you. When you performed “He loves me on Oprah” it brought tears to my eyes and pride to my heart to see a sister using such rich musicality to express such a universal theme of love. I saw you on your first trip to Memphis in 2005 and I’d just arrived home from my grandmother’s funeral in Chicago. When I arrived to the concert and you were talking about grandmothers it was almost as if God was using you to minster to me a message of encouragement. My sister and I will never forget the experience we had and felt at your concert. Regretfully, I was not able to purchase tickets in time for either of your performances this weekend. They sold out back in November but I want you to know that you and your crew are in my thoughts and prayers. Keep doing your thang Girl. I love your music and style.

    God bless you,

    Veronica

  708. Hi Jill,

    My wife introduced me to you a few years ago and I’m glad she did. I made the concert in Detroit this past Good Friday, unfortunately the sudden snow storm trapped my wife in traffic for about five hours. She was heart broken. She’s always wanted to see you live. One day she’ll make it. I’m now dedicated to getting her out to one of your shows. Much Love!
    -JB

  709. I hope that I can meet you one day because your such a great person

I love you and please keep me in your prayers too. I’m releasing my debut gospel CD this year in May. God Bless You!

  727. Jill,
    I ABSOLUTELY ADORE you and your music. You are the GREATEST of our time. Your songs have helped me to concieve my beautiful son (LOL), get over his daddy, and find a new strength within. I thank GOD for your work because it has TRULY been a BLESSING to me (& so many of us). As a fellow Aries sister (4/14), NOBODY “gets” me the way that you do!
    I LOVE YOU SISTER, and may GOD ABUNDANTLY bless you in ALL things.

  728. Oh and by the way Jill…..

    your song “Whenever Your Around”….you couldn’t have broke it down any plainer! Brings a tear to my eye everytime I play it…..keep doing what you do cause NO ONE ELSE can! You are a true blessing to the music industry.

    Kutina

  729. Jill,
    Your show in Chicago on Easter Sunday @ the Chicago Theatre was wonderful!!! My friends and I truly enjoyed ourselves! We saw that you are “one of us”, a normal person who heart can be broken and as a STRONG black woman, will ALWAYS pick herself right back up! I wish you many blessings and can’t wait to see ya again in Ohio at the music festival this summer in July.

    Kutina

  730. Want to thank you for blessing us (INDY) with your presence in Indianapolis. Every opportunity to see you is a gift!!!! Keep doing what you do, We appreciate you!

    Erica

  733. Jill,
    You light the way with your presence on stage, and your beautiful “boned-ed-ness” is what makes you truly woman. You speak your heart and sure know how to make love to the microphone. I love you for you creativity, God touched talent and “to the core realness.” Thanks for sharing with the world? You are “The Real Thing.” Thank you for helping me to decompress the intellectual side of my brain and get into a sensual side that my husband for 17 years can also enjoy. We only fight over which song to play first. Keep it real because there is NO ONE out there that can touch your level. PS. Did you find your belt? Saw you in Prospect Park, Brooklyn two summers ago! FANTASTiC PERFORMANCE!!!

  734. hey ms. jill scott i just love your music it’s different then the music you hear today. but it’s really deep and i love it. keep writin your music as an artist it sounds really beautiful.

  735. Can you believe I spelled me OWN name wrong in the last comment?! It suppose to me Mashli not Mashil.

  736. I knew about you a little bit, but then I got more interested when I saw “Why Did I Get Married” because I love your acting in that movie (that’s why it is my favotire movie.) I love your singing and also your songs. I am a bit of a poet and songwriter myself but I’m not so good…I guess. It’ll be nice and great to meet you someday! May God keep blessing you and keep on standing strong! I love you girl! You are awesome!

  737. Greetings Beautiful Spirit,

    I first heard you on the radio in the summer of 2000and was asking who is that singing? I was a BET addict at the time and found out it was Jill Scott. I was open, and purchased Who is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Volume 1. I was hooked on A Long Walk and I still am!

    Years later still hooked cause I have all of your albums. Your humility, raw honesty, your lyrics, your realness, that’s what listeners need. Your music is sung from deep within your soul. Your voice tells a story and we all can relate to it as humans. Keep writing, keep singing because you inspire me to do what I love and that is writing poetry and singing in the shower. I wish you enjoy life and live it to the fullest with no regrets!

    Blessings
    TankaVizion

  738. Peace and Divine Love Jill, Just wanted to stop and give you the love and respect that you deserve in life. I thought that I had a lot of haters ….. but you queen have alot… to me thats a good thing because that means that you are doing something that everybody feel like they can’t do. So instead of them trying to do things like improve they bring self down by wasting time and energy on making a webstie, having a form, even sending out flyers just to hate on you! But then again that is sad, that a woman a black woman cant do her thang that makes her HER …. without going thru bull (S) On that note I look at you and listen to your music everyday all day because you have the soul and strength of purpose. I know that you are human and have days …. but we all do you just come out on top in my book. Peace and Many Blessings

  739. Dear Jill,
    I watched your performance as Precious Ramotswe & was captivated. I did not know of you before this, but have since purchased ‘The Real Thing, Volume3′ I have yet to play all of it , but have just finished watching the conversation at the end of the DVD. Your honesty & depth of feeling certainly stirred up my emotions. You are a beautiful & multi talented lady & I thank you for the pleasure you are giving to me,
    Love from Les. xxxxx

  740. Jill I went to your show on March 7, 2008 at the Liacouras Center. I had front row seats. Your are one of the most amazing woman I’d like to know. I truly enjoyed your performance and the band oh my goodness, they were awesome. I felt like I was at the club partying and having fun. You sang all my favorites old and new, I had a wonderful time. You looked great. I hope you never stop making music or writing poetry. I’m looking forward to the next album and the next concert.
    Thank you for giving music what it needs, a star.

    After travelling from Plymouth to Birmingham twice to see you perform, you have touched my heart, and that of my friends.
    I have been chosen to receive an angel (my son) who is 3yrs old, and he has Downs Syndrome. You and your peace in your music has given me a path to take, hear and follow when I find things difficault. Watching you live you have something very special how you touch every individual in the audience. Your aura is magical and your music is much food for my soul.
    Jill, you must hear my thanks for lifting me when I ask, taking the walks, after dark with me, and showing me to live life as if it were truely golden. Thank you.
    Wendy (Woosie to my friends as now you are one too)

  748. Thank you for your voice and for never being afraid to answer the questions, Who am I, what are my commitments, and who am I becoming.

  749. I atttended The Real Thing tour here in Indy last night. It was phenomenal. Jill Scott is the real thing. Her music touches my soul. My husband has not listened to her music as much as I have and he could not stop talking about how Jill gave a great show. Ms. Sott is so humble. She signed my CD(The Real Thing) and took a picture with my husband and I with no hesitation. I hope she continues to keep it real. She sings the truth. Peace,Joy, and Love to Jill Scott

  755. Can’t wait to see you this weekend in MEMPHIS ON SATURADAY!!!!!!!!!! Safe traveling!!!!!

  756. Jill!,

    I went to your “Real Thing” concert at DAR Constitution Hall in Wash, D.C. on Saturday, March 15th. INCREDIBLE! You gave it your all from beginning to end, and I LOVE YOU for it! Also, your song, “And I Heard,” really touched my SPIRIT, and it was meant for me to hear those words that night. I have been a fan of yours since DAY ONE, but this is my first time seeing you in concert, and all I can say is, WOW! Your whole…ESSENCE was so captivating that I just stared and enjoyed the moments you shared with us. You are an inspiration to me in so many ways, but mostly because of your CONFIDENCE. To me, you personify what Maya Angelou was talking about in her poem, “Phenomenal Woman.” That’s you! Thanks Jill–for EVERYTHING!

  757. Saw your show in DC on a Tuesday night, was tired as hell the next day, but was truley worth being sleepy at work the next day. I rocked with you hard til I was sweatin’. Girl… I’m too old for that! Congratulations on real music and knowing all we want is realness everyday stuff! Why I coulda been your backup singer, cause I knew every word of every song. Pitiful ain’t it!

  758. Ms Jill Scott! You captured my heart with your music a long time ago but with your new album you grabbed everything else along with it! I FEEL the emotion you put in your songs and poetry and I’m telling you I am a fan for life. I caught you in concert in Dallas at Nokia and you made me and every other guy in there fall in love with you! Thank you for the experience and you are always welcome back. Much Love beauty!

    Darrell

  759. Hey Jill, What’s up Girl? Your pictures are beautiful. Hope you had a great Easter. Girl I am so digging your CD. It’s Hot, Sexy and Passionate!!! Move over Luther….Jill is here!!! I just love it. This CD is for all of the GROWN ladies out there. “My Love” and “Crown Royal on Ice”…Ummm!!! My favorite is “When You’re Around”…such a true song. Simply fantastic. Thanks for clarifying thangs. Be Blessed! Sending you much love!

    Chow!
    Wendy

  760. Girl!!! You are doing it!!

    “My Love” is the ultimate jam. You know what else, people are covering the song on youtube. I saw one that was particularly interesting. I don’t know the guy’s name, but it was more of a response. You should check it out (see link below). OMG!! A remixed duet with both of you would be awesome. Even thought I’m sure you probably won’t do the remix, you should still check out the response. I thought it was pretty good. Just my thought….

    Anyway…Keep doing what you’re doing because, my dear, you are doing it well.

    Much luv, Leza

  762. I went to the sold out Concert this past weekend here in Chicago. Jill you are such a phenomenal performer, so genuine and engaging. I’ve loved your music since the very first CD. The lyrics are so real.

    You’re beautiful and extremely talented. I loved your role in Why Did I get Married. You are truly an inspiration and I look forward to more of your GREAT work.

    LOVE YA

  763. Hey Jill,

    Got a big warm loving hug stored for you. Name the time and place.

  765. I love your music and the fact that you are always you, no matter what. What brought the world to it’s knees when you debuted, still does. May God contiunue to bless and keep you.

  766. love what u do.

  767. Jill,

    I went to your concert in Boston WHAT A TREAT! I waited so long to see you live! It was worth the wait! I remember the first time I heard you sing. It was in a little gas station in North Carolina! I knew you were a hit then, I don’t even think you had released a CD at that time. I love your music keep it coming!

    K. Baughman, Boston MA

  768. Hey Jill,
    Just wanted to say what’s up! Been a fan for a long time and I love your sound, creativity along with originality. Keep that beautiful spirit soaring.

    Peace…

    Kathy

  769. Ilove you girl! You are definitely doing your thing. You were great in “Why did I Get Married”! I felt that you really put yourself in that part. People can relate to her; and I feel that women around the world will be inspired by her. In fact, the whole movie was great; but your role is what got me teary eyed, be blessed, peace!

  770. Huge fan since 2000….will love to get concert updates and possibly meet Jill one day!

  771. I love you Jill. I went to the concert on 03/22/08 at the Fox and it was fantastic. This was my first Jill Scott concert (a virgin as you so nicely put it) the experience will last a very long time and it want be the last.

  772. I enjoyed the concert in Chicago on Saturday March 22,2008. We proved that we love you. A few years ago Chicago wasn’t emotionally ready to hear your message. Needless to say, everyone was on your side. The highlight of my evening was meeting you (I was one of seven). You took time outside and warmed my hands and hugged me as I cried. I have longed to meet you. I have a feeling that we shall meet again. Oh yeah I am the sister that is educated and have six kids and you liked my mink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I luv ya, Donielle

  773. JILL YOU ARE ABSOLUTLY MAGNIFICENT. NO OTHER ARTIST CAN COMPARE TO YOUR SKILLS. I HAVE BEEN INTRODUCING FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO YOUR MUSIC EVER SINCE I FURST HEARD YOUR VOICE.

  774. Jill all I can say is thank you for keeping it real! You are never afraid to say what’s on your mind! I am no virgin to your music I’ve been there since Day 1, please keep putting cd’s out.

  775. March 22nd at Chicago Theatre is a day I’ll never forget! Thank you for truly being Beautifully Human! Your Elegance and Grace coupled with Stregnth is unmatched… Thank you SO much!

  776. Your show Saturday night 3/22 at the Chicago Theatre was awe inspriing…your voice in one word….PURE.

    Thank you so much for sharing your gift.

  777. I just watch The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency on the BBC and gotta say you were amazing! is there no end to your talents? i hope to see more of you on telly in the UK.
    Much Love

  778. Jill,

    You are “AMAZING”!!! Your performance in Chicago was fantastic. It was truly the “REAL THING”. You are a remarkable woman and performer. I did not know what to expect but you left me speechless. Thank you for doing “Cross My Mind”. It is my FAVORITE song. I truly identify with that song, I believe you wrote that song for me. Thanks for making my month.

    Sharmin

  779. Jill, you were simply amazing in your acting role as N0 1 Lady Detective! The emotions were just…. there. Many thanks. And it’s a fitting tribute also to Anthony Minghella – utterly brilliant! Please do the series.

  780. Just a brief note, having watched The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency this evening.

    I’ve been a fan of the books for years, and Jill Scott captured the role of Mma Ramotswe superbly; the character I saw on the screen was portrayed exactly as I’ve been reading her in the novels.

    Congratulations on nailing the role so perfectly.

    I look forward to the full series.

  781. jill i love music and most of all i realy love you in [ why did i get married ] so please keep up the great work ok. PS. and lot,s of love stay bless and keep on working it girl

    Stu x

  787. Keep doing what you do, you make it all possible. Thank you for the lovely sounds you share with this vast world. I have not had the experience of you in concert yet, so if you ever come to Austin, Texas and with the hopes that I am paying attention to up and coming events, than I will be there.

    TY, Hugs and XXX’s

    Ruthie

  788. Just to say Ilive in England and have just watched Miss Scott acting In No1 Ladies detective agency filmed in Botwsana. I am from close to that region and would like to say the way you sang a seTwsana song… I was astounded. So many American actors/actresses act out African roles and the accents and pronounciations are at times always off. But watching you, i cried at how amazing and real you sounded. So as well as being a fantastic musician, I think you are an extremely talented actress.

  789. I admire ur style and ur wonderful soft lovely voice!
    It is a pleasure to listen and feel that warm vibe!
    Bless u!
    Sheila

  790. Jill,

    I recently saw your show in Ft.Lauderdale to promote your new album, and as usual the show was exceptional!!! It’s something about hearing your music live that is simply amazing! I am trying to attend the Essence Festival just to hear you sing live again! I love your music and I think that you are an amazing artist! Thank you so much for blessing us with your many talents!

    A Devoted Fan,
    Dap

  791. Jill I saw your First show in DC. Let me say U Turned that thing out.

You set the bar high. See ya at the Essence and boy I can’t wait…

  793. Who’d ever thought….in a million years, I’d be posting messages to Jill Scott’s “myspace” page? Best thing that’s ever happened to me–I couldn’t be happier! You do your thing, girl!! Thanks for the inspiration.

    Weekend_Warrior

Thank you for creating the music I LOVE to hear!

  796. Hello Jill,

  797. I just want to say that the concert lastnight was wonderful! Girl u did ya thang!!!!!! I never been to the Fox Theater either, so I had a chance to see that as well. Thankyou so much!

Much love to you and keep on making such beautiful music.

  806. Hi Jill,

    I just had the most amazing experience about a week ago. I went to a concert and heard some of the best music I have heard in a loooong time. I undoubtedly knew that I was going to lose my mind at this show because I hold this artist music so near and dear to my heart. But when that stage lit up and the words started flowing, it was just incredible. That artist I am speaking of is you Jill. YOU ARE AN AMAZING ARTIST!!!! Me an my sister have been talking about your performance every day since the show. You know we love you honest and truly here in DC. But, I’m telling you I couldn’t get enough. When you continued to bless us with your vocals, I became even more excited. You know, its one thing to vibe to someone’s music in the car or at home, but to hear you live, its something that I would never miss for the world. Everytime you are here, I make it my business to get where ever you are. ((smiles)) I left your show feeling very movitated about making changes in my life, knowing its okay to go through things – you just have to know how to recover and bounce back. I am pleased to see you going through your journey of life and still maintaining. You are a source inspiration and motivation to me and I’m sure millions of other people in the world. You are a beautiful soul, strong and blessed. I am thankful that you were put here to share your artistry with us all! Thank you for keeping it real. Keep making good music … from one of your greatest fans! (Oh, please make a live cd of your latest show – it is a must!!!) – ((((Smiles)))

  807. I am looking forward to your concert in Memphis, March 29th of this year. My friend and I got our tickets as soon as we heard you were coming. I know you have been told this so many times ,but you are a wonderful inspiration for so many people including myself. I think I run my husband and children crazy playing your music all the time. It is enlightening, sexy and relaxing. Keep doing what you are doing, God’s blessings are surely upon you girl!

    Luv ya!

    Serena

  808. I am such a big fan of yours and think that you are indeed an amazing blessed, talented and gorgeous woman.

    It is inspiring and I look up to you greatly for the way that yo carry yourself.
    I wish you all God’s greatest blessings.

    I went to your concert in Pittsburgh, 3/19/08 which is were I live. THis is actually mysecond comment since last night. Again, I say: Thank you…, thank you…., thank you. YOur concert was exhilarating, inspiring, powerful, intense, and for me, therapeutic. I’ve been going through some rough times as a mother,(stepmother, too) wife, daughter, full time job, etc. I was experincing some depression and needed God to move in my life as I was spiraling down, way down. And then my husband sacrificed and got me tickets to come see you. Your songs, words about relationships, being a blakc women lifted me up out of the pit of despair as you stood up there on the stage and spoke from the heart, mind, soul, “the real thing”, and I admire that. I realized that there is hope. I’ll never forget what you said up there on the stage especially this, “Faith without effort/works is fruitless”. So again, I say….Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    Sincerely,
    Nikki O’Leary

    I had the pleasure of seeing you last night in Pittsburgh (front row center with my husband), and you ALWAYS deliver! I’m originally from Brooklyn and attended your last show in Prospect Park with Queen Latifah and Erykah Badu. I was so EXCITED when you announced you would be coming to Pittsburgh.

    You voice has always been AMAZING, but I think your true ESSENCE and SPIRIT touched me even more last night. Thanks for being TRUE to who YOU ARE and not COMPRISING yourself to fit into the industry “box”.

    Continued success in all you future endevaors. We’re looking forward to seeing you in your next movie role.

    Peace and Blessings,
    Kimberly & Claude
