Jill Scott/Solange - A far departure from her sis, Beyoncé, Solange has a style all her own. Some would say she's similar to Erykah or Jill. We say Jill all the way. Both artists have a way of capturing the complexities of love in a basic, beautiful, yet completely original way, think Jill's "Fool's Gold" and Solange's "T.O.N.Y." For both sistahs, hindsight seems to be 20/20.  (Photos from left: Stephen Cohen/Getty Images, Josh Brasted/WireImage)
