Rihanna Goes Back to Brown Hair

The world's biggest hair chameleon has done it again!

Rihanna has ditched her fiery red hue (for now) and returned to her brunette roots.

The "What's My Name?" singer was spotted in Europe last weekend with darker and shorter locks peeking from underneath a camouflage cap.

Over the past year, we have watched the edgy 22-year-old's hair color evolve from bleached blonde strands to two-toned tresses to bright crimson locks. And her style has changed just as much, from her signature bowl cut to extra-long hair extensions to spiral curls.

What's next for RiRi? We never know, but if history is any indication, she will be switching up her 'do again. Rumor has it, her cherry red spiral mane is a wig!

BeBe & CeCe Winans - Love Said Not So

I'm just lovin' this song from BeBe And CeCe Winans.  I use to play this song over and over on my cassette tape player.(and you know that was hard to do).  I would belt out singing in my 1981 Ford Pinto.  Aww, shear joy!!!  Here are the lyrics. Enjoy!!!

Life was bitter to the core
There was nothing to live for until love came
And even second times around happiness could not be found until love came

I was left all alone - My heart was breaking
Thought was my own - Soul was aching
Tears covered me - Weeping through the whole night
And I need some relief - Joy comes in the morning
I've been searching for - Many years now
The key to life's door - I need to know how
Brought to my knees - Savior can you help me
And was led to believe - A failure I was to be

Chorus:
Well his love showed me, love said not so
Even with the odds against me
Love showed me, love said not so

Without a reason or cause peace and joy makes no pause
Until love came
Having no hope at all and not another one to call
Until love came

Chorus

I was left alone - My heart was breaking
Thought was my own - Soul was aching
Tears covered me - Weeping through the whole night
And I need some relief - Joy comes in the morning
I've been searching for - Many years now
The key to life's door - I need to know how
Brought to my knees - Savior can you help me
And was led to believe - A failure I was to be

Chorus

Keep on holding on
Love showed me, love said no
Love told me don't let go
Love showed me, love said not so

Love said not so

That's what he told me
He told me not so
Hey, I want to tell everybody
You are my love and my prize possession
Because of you I've got pride and joy
Can you help me brother

You are my love and my prize possession
(Love showed me)
Because of you I've got pride and joy
(Love said not so)
Oh can you say it again (Lord)

Tell the world it's love everlasting,hope
Everlasting, joy everlasting
I've got joy
You see I've got love everlasting,hope
Everlasting, joy everlasting
I've got joy
