seems like jennifer lawrence is going to have a stellar career but how is she faring on the style department?

personally, i'm not a big fan of her oscar de la renta outfit. it just does not sit well with my gut though many have raved over that look. nevertheless, jennifer lawrence is riding high on the list of best dressed actresses and the 'to-watch'. probably because she has been keeping her outfits simple and clean-cut. no fanciful designs or over the top prints. she exudes a sense of 'no-frills' elegance.

in the following months, the public's reaction towards the divorce was reported in the press. 'team aniston' and 'team jolie' t-shirts appeared, with 'team aniston' shirts out-selling the 'team jolie' shirts four to one. well, life goes on and fast forward to 2012.

i am jenifer bartoli

if you haven't spotted the pattern by now, today's posts are primarily singers by the name of jennifer. well the last singer to be featured is also a jennifer but by a different spelling.

Jenifer Bartoli

jenifer yaël dadouche-bartoli (born on 15 november 1982 in nice), better known as simply jenifer, is a pop singer who has, since 2002, had a number of hit singles in the french, belgium and swiss charts. she gained fame through her participation on the French television show star academy france. she sold more than 4 millions albums.

jenifer decided to go to paris and attend the casting for the first series of star academy in france, which went on to become a huge hit on french television. she was selected, and eventually won. the hit single 'j'attends l'amour' (i'm waiting for love) soon followed. after the tour with her band that followed her victory, she went on the road as a solo artist from october 2002 until january 2003 and eventually performed at the paris olympia, which she had dreamed of as a child.


her debut self-titled album went on to sell over three quarters of a million copies. the album featured a song written by marc lavoine and a duet with fellow star academy student mario. the album was re-released later to include two new tracks: 'entre humains' and 'des mots qui résonnent'. the latter became her third top ten single in france. the re-released album sold over a million copies. in 2004 jenifer returned onto the scene with her second, more personal, melancholy album 'le passage'.


jenifer previously lived with maxim nucci, the author-composer with whom she has had one child, named aaron, who was born on 5 december 2003. the couple separated around the end of 2005 but have since reunited. in 2012, she is a coach (with florent pagny, garou and louis bertignac) for tf1's the voice.

love the gold dress on Jenifer!

as for her dresses, i need to admit my failure. i tried to track down the designers but to no avail. i guess if i could type in french, i'll probably be able to do a search for it. anyway, here's a video of jenifer's singing to wrap up this post.

i am jennifer holliday

jennifer-yvette holliday (born october 19, 1960, riverside, texas) is an american singer and tony award-winning actress. she started her career on broadway in musicals such as dreamgirls and later became a successful recording artist. she is best known for her debut single, the dreamgirls showstopper and grammy award-winning r&b / pop hit, 'and i am telling you i'm not going'. she is also known as the queen of broadway gospel.

Jennifer Holliday

jennifer holliday's version of the song 'and i am telling you i'm not going' made her a star on broadway and catapulted her to national stardom. her version of the song was enjoyed so much by many fans that holliday was encouraged to transform the song into a hit on the billboard charts. in 1982, a pop version of the song was released as a single. the song became very successful, peaking at number-one on the billboard r&b singles chart and number 22 on the billboard hot 100 in the united states. she continued to have success as a recording artist through the rest of the decade. her follow-up song, 'i am love', became another hit in 1983. holliday's later r&b hits included, 'hard time for lovers' (1985), 'no frills love' (1985), 'heart on the line' (1987), 'i'm on your side' (1991) and 'a woman's got the power' (2000). 'a woman's got the power' charted at number seven in summer of 1999. 


however, it recharted the following year, peaking at number one. she continued to appear on the charts throughout the 1990s but never had the same level of success she had in the 1980s. holliday was a featured vocalist on the number one single 'i want to know what love is' by foreigner in 1985. a number of her songs became hits on the us dance charts as well. in fact, a dance version of 'and i am telling you i'm not going' peaked at number six on the hot dance music / club play chart in 2001.

Holliday with Jessica Sanchez

i'm wishing that her clothes are s outstanding as her voice but as you can see from the pictures below, jennifer holliday's clothes are nothing spectacular. she is often in dresses with simple lines and clean designs, nothing fanciful or critique-worthy.



so lay back and just enjoy her voice.
