Keyshia Cole Vibe cover - Dec 07

The New Keyshia Cole Goes Shirtless on Vibe Magazine

As you can see Keyshia Cole is on the cover of the new Vibe magazine.

There was some early speculation that it was a fake cover, but this picture is from Vibe’s site. Even without that official confirmation, there is always the top of her breasts, a little cleavage seen in a rare moment (and remembered) from her last video, and the tattoos are in place. Without a doubt she’s looking fantastic. With her hair up like that and the Sophora job, she almost has an Eva thing going for her.

As great as Keyshia looks, the question must be asked, did she feel the need to do a near topless shot to sell records?

I’ve heard the Janet Jackson comparisons, Toni Braxton also comes to mind, but other than being half-naked there are none. Keyshia Cole is nothing like either of them. Her nearest stylistic twin is Mary J. Blige; how many times have we heard that?

Now ask yourself this, has Mary J. Blige ever shown more than her thighs? And that would be because she was wearing shorts at the time. Mary would never do a cover like this. So let’s close that chapter: Keyshia Cole is not the new Mary J. Blige.

Keyshia Cole is the new Keyshia Cole.

In her last Vibe interview..

Keyshia Cole Vibe cover - Aug 06

She talked about, ah hell, I quote it..

“So many girls, when they come into the business, the first thing they want to do is use their sex appeal. I’m just not ready to throw it all out there. Like, “Here it is; take me I’m yours!” My mama [foster mother] didn’t raise me that way. .. When my breasts first got big, I just wore a tank top under everything’ cause they’d be like - boom! - right there. That line down the middle..

I like sexy, nothing wrong with it, but on my own terms. I just take into consideration that young girls look up to me.” So at that time wearing a blouse showing how big her breasts are was a big deal. Now she’s not wearing a blouse at all. Did I say it already? This is the new Keyshia Cole.

Tattoo’s in place…in the video shes got a big ass tattoo on her right bicep….which seems to be absent in this picture, right along with the tattoo on her neck.

Nonetheless she does look great, I’m loving the new softer keyshia cole

WHY DO WOMEN FELL THEY NEED OT GO NAKED TO GET PUBLICITY? YOU ARE ALREADY TALLENTED. DON’T NEED THIS.

Know your onions

I think the picture is very tasteful. She’s topless, but you don’t see anything, the focus is more on her face. If you compare the two vibe covers, the one with her sitting on the chair with the miniskirt and tank top on is much more revealing.

6 CHIEF 00 Wed, Oct 31, 2007 - 2:51 pm

MORGANA, I TOO THINK THAT THE PHOTO IS TASTEFUL BUT THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO BE SEXY WITHOUT TAKING OFF YOUR CLOTHES. I KNOW THAT A LOT OF MEN WANT TO SEE THESE PHOTOS BUT AS ON THE SERENA WILLIAMS PHOTO YOU WILL GET GUYS TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEY WANT TO DO TO THEM INSTEAD OF HER SINGING TALENT. I HAVE TO ADMIT THOUGH THAT IS A HOT PIC. SHE IS VERY ATTRACTIVE.

to tell you the truth, i’m not really feeling the picture. i understand they might be trying to show a more mature (sexy) side of keyshia, but at the same time the picture looks very forced. almost like they decided she should be topless before she even got in front of the camera. i prefer the other picture myself from the old vibe mag…yes the tank top is huggin everything on her, but it looks more like “keyshia”. the look on her face…the hair…everything…the top picture is sort of a false representation of her…

but that’s just me…lol

i feel she looks natural even though she could have had in clothes and had the same effect she’s my idol i love her its beautful but should of been done different its so hard being a woman in this business already because you are exploided as a female but things like this give reasons for men in the biz to say negitive things abo ut the way we as women feel we should express ourselves bad enough we put the dirty game of men on blast but now we accept the fact that we are jus a piece of meat on a platter it should been done differntly but much love to the artist

You actually had a DNA Maury moment on your show? How ghetto. Stop doing your family in to make money. It’s pathetic. Don’t get rich at your familys expense. You are too tallented to sacrafice your family. Think about it!
