Stevie J and Joseline 2014: 'Love and Hip Hop ATL' Stars Are Going on Tour, 5 Reasons Why They Should Not
Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez are the breakout stars of VH1's 'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta', with no question. Audiences love to see their explosive arguments, odd attraction, funny confessionals, and Stevie J's never-ending lies blow up in his face-- Still, there are only a few select fans that take them seriously as musicians.
Since fans were introduced to Joseline in the first season of LHHATL, her appeal has grown as she transitioned from the head mistress to the married Puerto Rican Princess. Unfortunately, her music sales have not exactly reflected her increasing popularity.
Stevie J has worked with everyone from Diddy to Mariah, but lately it seems like the studio has not worked in his favor either, as Joseline has yet to have a radio hit from her producer husband.
Still, on Aug. 8, both revealed to fans that they would be embarking on a tour of their own, just as Beyoncé and Jay Z finish the US leg of their On the Run joint tour.
Though we love their on-camera antics, this tour may not be a good idea and here's why.
1. The music isn't there, yet.
Joseline may become a better rapper in the future, but right now, the music is not at a level where fans will come out to support it. To prove this point, watch what happens when she performs at a club in Dallas.
2. This is going to be messy.
Whether they are taking shots at each other on Instagram or Twitter, it seems like every time Stevie and Joseline bump heads, the entire world becomes privy to all of the dirty laundry (that is not shown on LAHHATL). If they will be forced to be each other all of the time, this may not end well.
3. There's no music.
It needed to be reiterated. Going on tour means you have a catalogue to perform, so that fans will not get bored. If they were going on an appearance tour (which they do all over America in different clubs), then this would make sense. The reason why K. Michelle made a successful transition back into music is because her talent is undeniable. No shade! *Nicki Voice*
4. It's a little too close to Jay and Bey's tour for people to not think this idea is stolen.
Though they are battling their own stories of divorce at the moment, every audience member left the tour satisfied with an epic show. After years of being hip hop's royal couple, this tour made sense. Since it just happened a week ago, it seems that Stevie and Joseline swiped the idea to see if it could work for them. Obviously, there are major differences here.
5. But, it's SO CRAZY it just might work.
Joseline and Stevie J continue to bring in the ratings for VH1. If they strategically perform in smaller venues, release a few songs, and only do a total of 10 stops, they could have a successful tour. Their crazy relationship may be enough to draw some people out, but not everyone will want to pay to see what they can see for free every week. But, here at Enstars, we do not condone killing dreams. Plus, if Mona and her team is there to film it, it will make for great TV.
What do you think? Should Joseline and Stevie J go on tour? Would you see it?
