I SWEAR isn’t she in Jay-z’s “show me what you got”???? Isn’t she on the boat???

I was wondering what happened with her

NEeeeeeeeeext! LMAO.

Isn’t she from detroit??

Shes very pretty and maybe it was jay-z lack of interest in his artists.

Other then “make her feel Good” or whatever it was call. She was rather garbage. I saw the video for “No Daddy” and I automatically knew that she was a one hit wonder.

i think shes so pretty. i was wonderin where her music was at especially after seein her in the “You Should Be MY Girl” video.

That is messed up. I feel bad for her. She wasnt a bad singer, though. I dont know. But I think that more people are going to be leaving, or dropping from those labels….

no daddy was a hit?

JAY DUMPED HER ASS AFTER HE GOT A TASTE OF THE CARRIBEAN BOOTAY. THIS CHICK WAS DOODOO ANYWAY. SHE WOULD HAVE DISAPPEARED WITH THE REST OF THESE HALF TALENTED CHICKS IF SHE DIDNT HAVE JAY-Z BACKIN HER.

i would say that i’m suprised but, i’m not..

… when is Bleek leaving?

LMAO!!!

And I think that you cannot be upset when an artist, especially a new artist, is not selling, when there is no promotion done. How am I supposed to buy their album, when I didnt even know it came out? Did you guys know that Method Man had an album that came out on Def Jam not too long ago? See what I mean?

Is there a record company around who know how to make a girl sing, make a girl sing, make a girl sing good?

Im just sayin

Po’ Teairra Mari! She still has more talent than Ciara and Ri-hell-naw…

Co-sign with Angel La! Whatever!!

BTW, Angel La, CONGRATS on the mention in this month’s Essence Magazine!

I’m not familar with her Music, but damm, she’s fine….

Jay Z is a funny guy..

It seems like he has a label full of woman that looks like Bey….
I ain’t mad..Can’t knock the Hustle..
If I was young & single, I would do the same thing…
I would be holding Open Auditions at My Penthouse Apartment @ 3:00 in the morning…

Wow! I never really liked her anyway. How old is she tho she look like she around 16 or 17?

Teairra has a beautiful voice i hope she finds a label soon. I listened to her last album and she had decent subject matter to talk about not just about the opposite sex or baby u drive me crazy blah blah blah. She also as a versatile voice. i wish milian got that SOS song so rihanna would be gone.

teairra marie fan

kelly rowland should leave her manager and change her label.
cherri dennis (wateva her name is) should do the same
megan roche should do the same
bella should disappear
cassie should get vocal lessons and stop sukin to get famous.
paris hilton…as above

I figured this was coming. I thought Rihanna would be 1st tho..oh well

I read a quote from LL Cool J that said “Jay Z is only good at promoting Jay Z”….

I always questioned WHY they named him as President of Def Jam….

Can anyone name one hit record or hit artist that has come out of Def Jam since Lyor Cohen left the company ??

I personally think Hip Hop Music is dead these days, but what do I know…..

Her Career was doomed after Rihanna dropped her second album. Its almost a no-brainer that her album dropped way before rihanna and rihanna is already on her sophmore set! Well I wish her the best, but the singles she choose were overdone kiddy songs and aint nobody really feelin that. I think Jay-Z has made alot of mistakes as president and the only reason he is comin out of retirement is to redeem himself and the label. But buisness is buisness……..

she is so pretty but her music was a mess i loved some of the songs on her album like phone booth (that was so hot) but other then that i really dont care too much cause she didnt give me much too like her for anyways but i cared sbout christiana m.

bill u r so silly……lol

Hey Bill! Well Rihanna and Neyo are two new artists that have platinum albums from Def Jam. There may be more.

Also, Jay may not have done all he needed to do as president. However, I think LL’s popularity was waning before Jay was even appointed, so I don’t think Jay is the reason for LL’s lack of sales. He’s still fine though!

man life sad!! (4 her at the moment) i still think she can sing better then rihanna it just that rihanna made better music then her!! If she wants to make it in the game, she needs to step up!! She needs make a hit songs!! Just like Rihanna “Pon da replay” “unfaithful” “sos” She really needs to hit top 10 atless

Could it be that her music was wack and people were just not that interested in her that caused the label to discontinue making her a “top priority”??

There are certain artist out there that folk just won’t take seriously, and I think she was one of those that you roll your eyes at and say, “Great, you got ONE song, but no “star quality” that will have you around 5 years from now!”, we look at people like Ashanti, Rhianna and Maya the same way… while they have a fan base, it’s not great enough that anyone will give a damn in 5 years.

So maybe she NEEDED to get new management - an a new artist development team to mold her into someone people will actually care about, cause right now, she’s just a chick that people know know of Tierra Mairie (or however the hell you spell it) is a girl… or a group.

I heard rihanna and tiarra sing live,…..Yeah imma have to go with rihanna on this one,

What pisses me off is:when a female doesn’t have great sales she’s dropped. However, a dude with lackluster sales (ie. Memphis Bleek) gets to go on the world tour? I guess that’s the perks of having your homie as the HNIC of the R-O-C!

Damnit, I hate when I don’t preview my own she-it! that last line should have been, “….that people don’t know if Tierra Miarie is a girl… or a group”

Bill, I love reading your comments, they are hilarious.

She image was all screwed up. I hope she gets another deal and focuses more on her voice cuz I think she has talent.

@ BILL

NE-YO! #1 ALBUM, #1 SONG, SO SICK. TOP 20 SONG, WHEN YOURE MAD. TOP 10 SONG, SEXY LOVE. CERTIFIED PLATINUM!

STAN….BE GONE FROM MY BODY!!!

is there a record company around that no how to make a girl sing, make a girl sing, make her sing good

@ #23

I totally agree with all that you’ve said there.

I even agree with LL Cool J. It seems Jay is good at promoting Jay. Same with Puffy. Bad Boy has been *blah* until recently…and I’m wondering how long these new acts will sustain. I’m surprised Danity Kane sold at all…but I digress.

My point? Being an artist AND an executive. Who achieves that balance in this business? Who has? Pharrell? Yeah with his first release it was on point…Puff? Puff is all about himself. He’s done great with his clothing line, but has sucked ass when it comes to reinventing his labelmates and artist (re: the revival of Craig Mack and Mase and Black Rob…they were barely registered on the damn monitor before they faded back into non-existence) and all this leads me to question, what is it really about? Hype? Just Hype enough to sell a few million and then damn the artist, we don’t need ‘em, ‘coz we made the money and… I just don’t get it.

Now Jay and Tearri (sp?) I’ve heard of her before…I’ve READ SO MUCH on her, wayyy before she came out, but have I heard her songs? Probably only by accident. I knew the name (Industry hype and whatnot) but I knew not the music and now she’s leaving.

I just don’t get it…maybe businessmen need to stay businessmen and artists need to be artists.

Are you truly helping out the artists on your label by releasing an album that will be in blatant competition with them? What the hell? Maybe Jay just missed ‘the game’ of it all and wanted to come back…fine…take the exec. hat off and put on the artist cap and let someone else handle the books, the promotion, the new jocks trying to get in the game. Do they stand a legitimate chance of achieving anything when their boss is their damn competition?

I don’t hate Jay. I don’t hate Puff. I don’t hate any of these guys because I couldn’t do what they’re doing, artist-wise/entertainment-wise, but I will say this…if I worked in this business it would be on the business/corporate/talent search/promotional side of things…’coz as an artist, a lot of times you just get screwed.

God bless you Tearri (sp?) Whoever you are/were. Good luck to you in the future.

she left?? doesnt she mean she was dropped from the label?? she was just dead weight anywayz bitch wasnt selling shit.

I agree with you 110% homie. And Tbrown, I couldnt have said that better. You and I feel the same way.

Tbrown you forgot about BABY FROM CASH MONEY

Ahhh @ #40…thanks for that addition.

Before I say “She looks good”‘ I hope she is 18 or over because they way yall was talking about Robert Kelly, Goodness Gracious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lets be real nobody is really selling anything because as long as u can get it on the net they will get it and I was going to say “She looks good” but they way u guys blasted Robert Kelly on the comments section below for my sake I hope she is over 18

If she is under 18, I respectfully retract my statements…

They didn’t show her love…
It all went to Rihanna and she don’t even get that much play!

Bill Said:
That was a commercial from Ne Yo’s Number 1 fan !!!

Dat sucks for her but i knew it was gonna happen if not, u best believe they were gonna drop her ass. I think she was singing bout things to grown for her age. She was 16 out the gate singing bout sex aggresively. Rih-Rih didn’t do that. Besides Rih-Rih is smarter than her she basically sat back to see how it’s done and learned from dat cause her live shows have STEPPED UP^ ALOT. Mari shows were not as good as Rih-Rih’s. And there voice r the same. Rih’s voice has gotten better. I’m not to sure aboUT MARI BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT SHE IS NOT A CASSIE( DAMN GURL SIT YO ASS DOWN!)

I cringe just at the THOUGHT of “No Daddy.”

The only difference between Rihanna and the other chick is that Rihanna got more attention by the label.

We already talked about the fact that the girl can’t carry much of tune, so it’s obvious that Rihanna’s success was already planned from jump.

I mean, the girl got hooked up with hotter producers and songwriters than Teairra.

This whole thing was a game that poor Teairra, unfortunatley, ended up losing.

The way that record companies play with their artist is just ridiculous.

I mean, if you don’t plan on really promotiong an artist or giving them some type of support, then why even sign them in the first place?

I just realized that she, too, is throwing the ROC symbol in that first pic.

Does Rihanna do that shyt too?

Just wondering…

And this is important why? lol

Hey I’m fairly new to CL, and I always see people talking about “Stans” what is a Stan?? I assume the meaning relates to a “Hater” but what does it actually mean??

Someone please let me know!

They’re all ROC family, no? Or Def Jam, no? Is it the same thing? Does Rihanna do it, too? @ #51…that’s if you were talking to me

and she could sang she has a good range 3 octaves

She can really sing so I hope she makes it.

STAN is a term that was created by EMINEM to describe a OBSESSED FAN !!!

Here’s Eminem’s video on STAN
Eminem - Stan

Here’s Eminem’s Website ! Eminem is the Greatest !!!

Me provideing you with all of this information would qualify me as a Eminem’s STAN !!!

Aw, I’m sad. She’s really pretty, and she can actually sing. I co-sign whoever said that “Phone Booth” was the jam.

And word, Rihanna got way more attention than T did, without much reason. I guess they figured that Rihanna would be a better artist to push cause she’s more exotic. It couldn’t be because she’s more talented than T.

The problem was people slept on Teairra. Rihanna got more publicity even though Teairra was the “Princess of the ROC”. They didn’t push Teairra’s album like they should’ve. I got her album the day it came out and I’m still bumping it a year later! They messed up releasing “No Daddy”. Her song “Act Right” should’ve been the second single and “Phone Booth” should’ve been the third or vice versa…and even after they realized “No Daddy” wasn’t living up to the success of “Make Her Feel Good”, they should’ve pushed a third single, which was supposed to be “Phone Booth”. Some people shouldn’t be running a record label. I’m actually glad she left Roc-A-Fella b/c she really does need a label that is going to do what they need to…like Capitol Records! They messed up with Faith Evans…but they’re pushing LeToya and Cherish…(congratulations to them b/c LeToya is my girl! “Torn”, “She Don’t”, and her next single “Obvious” are my jams…as well as “Do It To It” and “Unappreciated”)

and to answer ya’ll questions…yes she’s over 18. she’ll be 19 December 2nd!!!

Co Sign Sir !!
Faith Evans is one of the Baddest Singers Out !!!
Records companies no longer know how to MARKET their artist properly….

The TRUE Genuis’s of Proper Prmotion Are:
Clive Davis (RCA/BMG) Lyor Coher (WHEN he was with Def Jam) , Tony Motolla (When he was with Sony) & Walter Yentikoff (When he was with CBS/Columbia/Epic…He was the man responsible for Michael Jackson Thriller…Walter was the one who FORCED MTV to play Michhael Jackson’s Video’s !!)

A Record Company Junkie (STAN)
Peace

She’s a extremely talented girl who has experience success . Learn from this experience . And like Ludacris said no one can promote you better than you . I guess that’s why I respect how cats down south and westcoast do it. INDEPENDANTS !

I remember at first when both teairra and rihanna both came out at the same time last year in 2005 jayz was always with teairra if you ask me he thought that she was probaly going to do better then rihanna and neyo, because at first I never saw him with Rihanna. Last year both of their first albums flopped.Then all of a sudden Rihanna was going to try a second album which actually did pretty well and thats when he forgot about poor Teairra. I think shes pretty and she has an alright voice I hope everything goes well for her.

Not surprised at all. If you don’t have that everlasting star quality about yourself it’s a wrap!! Hopefully her 15 min of fame has not run out as of yet.

Thats not her my space page
The album was originally due to be released in September but Jay-Z pushed it back because he wanted Ne-Yo to contribute to the album.

2. Waste Your Time

16. Good Enough (Pre-Order Only in iTunes)

Did anyone notice the TIME SPAN that Rhianna put out her 2 albums? Is it me, or did it seem like the albums came out 6 months apart? There is no reason for CASSIE to have success and not Tierra. Im sorry, that was poor promotions/marketing on their part. I would love to be an A&R. Too many labels focus on the LOOK and not the TALENT. That is why you dont have anymore Faith Evans’, and Whitney’s, Patti’s, Chaka’s, etc.

Bill, you are amazing. Im your stan. lol Please dont tell your wife I said that. lol

Damn that sucks. I never really liked her as an artist. But I wish her the best however.

Ok Bill, that will work!

no daddy was the worst song ever

@ #15 Ciara may not be the perfect vocalist, but the bitch can move & put out hits. Just because an artist can sing doesn’t mean they have star quality and staying power. Teairra is a pretty girl and she can hold a note or two, but there was nothing spectacularly different or original about her. She had that heard it all before thing going on that a lot of people 2day just don’t buy. Therefore, her sales were weak & she never crossed over. Two big uh oh’s for a new artist.

Can’t say that I didn’t see this coming.
