Krystal Blue
While her motivation is certainly different from that of, say, Tila Tequila, Krystal Blue’s marketing approach and appeal are similar. Both could be labeled as entertainers, even models and personalities, as well as being listed as musical performers or singers. But that should not detract from the apparent quality of Blue’s vocals or her accomplishments as a songwriter and studio producer.
Yes, the marketing of this young woman focuses as much on appearance and beauty as it does on the musical offerings. But Blue, a native Texan, just passed her 23rd birthday, which means that she has put about 10 years into the music profession since she began writing in the Hip Hop and R&B genres. She has already released two collections and a third should be appearing soon.
The electronically generated sounds on "Rain" are blended with clear, clear vocals to produce what may be some of the finest ambient sound recorded recently. Blue clearly relies on her Latin influence, but this recording has a world-spanning sound that could appeal to thousands. Some might call it captivating, as are the keyboard sounds and percussion of "Intro Music."
Then there is the aptly titled "My Disco World" sample. Those who thought disco was dead 25 years ago might have a difficult time convincing Blue. In any case, Krystal Blue lists such diverse artists as Pink Floyd, Christina Aguilera and Steve Vai as influences. These, and more, are part of Blue’s early sound.

Hmm, she reminds of of the chic thats part of Diddy’s girl group. I wonder who has snatched her up or is she going to continue to work solo.
AllI know is that she is hot and really thats all I look for when it comes to chicks in the industry. Everything else comes later.
Hot isn’t going to be able to match her talent nor is it going to push her through the industry either. Sex appeal is very important in the industry, yes BUT these days you have to be a triple threat. Is she that?
We have been waiting for the release of the latest album for years. She needs to stop spending time taking pictures and being on myspace and start working on her music that she keeps saying is coming out soon its been close to 3 years already.
Then she decides to change her name from Krystal Blue to some Scarlett name but then comes back with Krystal Blue so that right there shows she cant follow through with anything. I went to see one of her shows at this little place in San Antonio and at the last minute she canceled pissed off alot of people, and thats not the first time that happened.
OH yeah another thing she always her “fans” for help to go to events. When she says help she means give me money so I can go out and party and Ill never pay you back. I donated some money to her and found out she went out partying with that money and now she is going to Orlando and she is doing it again asking for help to move, Dont trust her
