...entertainment industry. All over the city, the upcoming concert schedule is plastered: Joan Baez, Sheryl Crow, James Brown, Earth, Wind and Fire. Music stores sell and play American tunes. On Vorosmarty Ter, the main square downtown, tourists sit and soak in the "authentic" Hungarian atmosphere with Toni Braxton's "Another Sad Love Song" in their ears, piped in by an outdoor cafe. Television is a hodgepodge of local programming, English-language shows on The Cartoon Network and CNN, and a host of American programs, from "Saved by the Bell" to "Married With Children," dubbed in Hungarian...
Share My World shows that Blige deserves a place among pop's premiere female vocalists--Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Toni Braxton. Blige's previous CDs had some charming cuts, including the bighearted Real Love and her show-stopping remake of I'm Goin' Down. Those albums, however, were tailored for hip-hop audiences; Share My World, seems designed to appeal to lovers of the Wu-Tang Clan and Lisa Stansfield alike. The first song, I Can Love You, draws its melody in part from Lil' Kim's crass but compelling song Queen Bitch, but Blige, employing nimble vocals...
...TONI BRAXTON may not have been born with a lanky model's frame, but she's never been shy about showing off all of her 5 ft. 2 in. "Midriffs," the Grammy-winning singer once explained helpfully, "make me look taller." She found in designer Marc Bouwer the perfect architect of her no-foundation-garments- necessary look.

At this week's fashion shows in New York, the relatively unknown Bouwer has scored a coup by persuading the singer, whom...
...song On the Line from Spike Lee's new film, Get on the Bus) to Eric Clapton (the single Change the World); all told, he has produced 16 No. 1 hits. On last week's Billboard singles charts, three of the Top 10 songs--the Clapton single, Toni Braxton's Un-Break My Heart and Edmonds' own This Is for the Lover in You--either were written by him or were on his record label, LaFace. "On any given week 40% to 60% of the Top 10 records are R.-and-B. records," says Tommy Mottola, head of Sony Records...
...Today Braxton, with her frankly sexual (though never explicit) songs, seems to be making up for lost time. The first single released from Secrets, You're Makin Me High, deals with masturbation. Another song bears the blunt title Find Me a Man. Her parents, she says, are proud of her music, and her father, in church, prays for her albums to climb the charts. Three of her sisters, Towanda, Trina and Tamar, have their own vocal group, the Braxtons (Toni was once a member but went solo). Braxton, however, isn't completely fulfilled. Although she is "dating," she says...
