The star of Tyler Perry’s next comedy, I Can Do Bad All by Myself, gives us a glimpse at some of her favorite tunes

A Taste:

Bob Dylan, The Fugees, Dave Matthews Band

Hope Olaide Wilson has got the new Black Eyed Peas song, “Boom Boom Pow,” stuck in her head at the moment.

She laughs, “I can’t tell if I hate it or I love it, but I’m always singing it!”

Fergie and Co. tend to have that effect. Hope is the star of Tyler Perry’s forthcoming fall comedy, I Can Do Bad All By Myself [Lions Gate], and she happens to have quite a diverse musical palette. In this exclusive feature for ARTISTdirect.com, Hope opened up her iTunes and shared what she’s spinning.
