Sigh.....when Disney actually played R&B and was racially diverse in its music and shows. :/
@beautifulthang21
Isn't she from Nickelodeon. Is this song just from Disney?
@marckid93
beautifulthang21 Nope. Originally Keke was a Disney star before she got on to Nick
@Denae2239
Disney plays pop only now, R&B is better than pop because it's more real and less computerized, pop is 100% computer generated, in other words fake, but This song is still bullshit
@Michelle-tz6qh
***** I agree. Though they did have Coco Jones (Let It Shine) but of course she is now on the back burner and doing covers on YouTube. They also had China Anne McClain and her sisters but they never really did qualify as R&B.
@marckid93
***** Does it? I don't even watch Disney anymore so I wouldnt know haha :P
