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

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

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!!!

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.

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

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.

The only song I play by her is Phone booth.

The only song I play by her is Phone booth.No Daddy was horrible.

Truth is - people can blame Jay-Z and Puffy/Diddy for their artists not being promoting or selling - but, Consider this… if they would not have ever signed these artists would you even know them?

If they are so talented and if it’s all Jay’s and Diddy’s fault, then they should have a shitload of lables waiting to get at them right?

I wish her the best - but it ain’t an easy business.

BILL!!! I know exactly where that church is!! My mom lives in Cedar Hill, and when I go home sometimes, I always see it. It is a beautiful church, but I have never been there. I will definitely have to go now!! BILL YOU ARE AWESOME!! Thanks for that info. And I’am glad you like my page. I just recently changed it to Aaliyah, but Kirk Franklin was up last week, and the song that played was “Imagine Me.” I cry everytime I hear that song. Kirk makes great music. Thank you for READING my page. lol You are the best!

#12 that is a good question.

Personally I liked Teariarra’s debut she was doing her thing I enjoyed her cd. Especially “Lala” and “New Shit”

Jay decided to promote baby Godzilla instead of Teairra Mari although she’s a better singer than baby godzilla

I would hardly call either of those songs a hit..Jay Z can’t be the one to blame for her failure…You have to be an interesting person or at least have talent and in my opinion she was not interesting and had very little talent…She should be looking for another career and not another label..So long, T-Error, So long

never heard any of her songs but good luck to her.

Jay Z made a big mistake. The mistake was to bring out these two women at the same time. Once he did that he created a situation that was doomed from the start because one would be more popular and get attention more than the other, which would cause friction between the artists and their label and management.

Another thing I hate is Jay trying to make Rihanna a Beyonce clone. The outfits, clothes and booty shaking are just to similar to excape comparison.

#72 you make a good point.To be honest when she first came out I thought she was a little Ashantish

Ri-hell-naw sucks, and Ciara sucks!!! TEAIRRA MARI IS BETTER THAN BOTH OF THOSE HALF-SINGING WENCHES PUT TOGETHER!! AND ALL YA’LL Ri-hell-naw lovers need to sit ya asses down and listen to that girl try and sing on “Unfaithful” then compare it to “Phone Booth” and u’ll see that Teairra is waaayy better.

@49 monie luv
Uh…not bad mouthing u, but Ri-hell-naw DID NOT GET BETTER PRODUCERS THAN TEAIRRA!!

Teairra had:
Cool & Dre (Say I)
B. Cox (Say Goodbye)
Kwame (On Fire)
Trackboyz (Tipsy)
Poli Paul (Dip it low)
Sean Garrett (Check On It)

Rihanna had:
Stargate (So Sick)
J.R. Rotem (Whoa)
Don Corleone (Give It Up To Me)
Evan Rogers (I Have No Idea What Songs He Did)

So u can see that Ri-hell-naw had the worst producers workin on this shizzy cd.

@72 Dangerouslyperri
Uh…Ciara can’t even be called a VOCALIST cause the wiatch is nothin but her own backup dancer. And if Teairra was from Atlanta then everyone who hates on her would have her album right now.

I wish her the best. She sings better than Rhianna but she just is not entertaining. Neither is Rhianna so i don’t understand why she got more attention.

WHATEVA???

But, can somebody explain to me, why exactly is Roc-a-fella a “dynasty.” I would think of a dynasty as a group that keeps putting out hit artist after hit artist. What do they have??? Jay-Z.

A dynasty would most likely be Jive/Zomba(Usher, Ciara, Chris Brown, Justin Timberlake). Terra Mari should def do there. Maybe they can teach her hoe to be an ENTERTAINER.

I guess it’s a good business decison because I have no idea who she is.

artist cannot run successful record companies unless they can commit full time! that’s why puffy and jay z have the same problem.

Thank you #9, you took the words right out of my mouth. I wasn’t aware that “No Daddy” was a hit.

But anyway, her album was actually pretty decent in my opinion. I think it was way too grown for her age, but other than that, it was cool. Personally (and this is just my opinion, folks) I can’t see her having a career without Roc-A-Fella or Def Jam. She’s only had one hit and while she can sing, her voice isn’t that great, and I kinda’ think the whole Roc-A-Fella thing was her hook but hey, I could be totally wrong. If this is really her dream, I hope I am. We’ll see…

that ‘no daddy’ song was just dumb, i’m sorry, but it was

It’s a numbers game..if you don’t sell..you’re gone..nuff said..it’s a universal law

Awww shit! It was only a matter of time. I dont blame her.

Let’s face it the girl is boring. She was to Ghetto, they wanted pop and cross-over appeal and she didn’t have it. Good luck to her though and quit all that cussing girl. Rihanna does have cross-over appeal. The better girl won

Who cares?? She wasn’t talented and her music just flat out sucked.

she’ll probably get picked up, ppl change labels all the time

@37…I totally agree w/ you and I’m a self admitted Jay Z STAN. You just can’t do both…CEO and artist. It’s completely unfair to your artist. I think it’s good to have an artist at the executive level but not running the whole ship.

Why is it that labels always release the crappy songs? That No Daddy BS was poop. She had at least 4 solid bangers on that cd, besides Make her feel good, that went completely unheard…oh well…back to the drawing board for Teairra

I wish her luck.Maybe she should try acting.

SHE LOOKS LIKE A BRATZ DOLL,,,IS THAT HER IN CHRIS BROWN,,SAY GOODBYE VIDEO?

Oh well, you loose some you really loose some.

ahh she sucked anyway so who cares!?!?!? i know i don’t

No Daddy a hit?

Come on, the girl can’t hold a note

Boooooorrrrrrrring

OMG! I’m so happy! I’m so glad they finally got this thing out of there, all she was was a load of excrete. I’ve been waiting on this day for such a long time! Her album was horrible, she is horrible-looking and she sounds horrible. I would NEVER call those songs “hits”, because, they never were. SHE WAS NEVER ON THE RADIO.

You can NEVER compare this witch to Rihanna because Rihanna even had her album released after this little vague non signifacnt person and she should have had time to do her thing but she failed to do so and the best girl won, Rihanna did. And now Rihanna is laughing all the way to the bank (and we’re jamming too!) while THIS TRASH is on a coach class flight to Detroit where she belongs. =D A good day for me! Also, Jay-Z did his thing but this girl just lacked anything to support the promotion. Rihanna had the whole pack… and she has had 3 top 10 songs (Pon de Replay #2, If It’s Lovin’ That You Want #10 and Unfaithful #7), 1 #1 song (SOS) & even a top 40 song (We Ride) and has plenty more up her sleeve. I don’t want the EX “the princess of the ROC” to return and make our lives miserable again. Oh yeah, that goes to Christina Mili… something too.

I have no clue who Teairra is..anyway good luck and keep the faith

I HATED..AB-SO-LUTE-LY..HATED..’No Daddy’.

that song was wrong for so many reasons

She is cute, she will come back she’s still very young.

the princess just didn’t sleep with the boss so Jay canned her… he’s working more on rihanna cause rihanna is working more on him, lol…

Got Bey’s panties in a bunch and all…

Although I think Ring the Alarm was for FREE!!!

haha talentless whore!! serves her right, look all u wanna be’s rnb is a big bitches sport!! unless u sellin a couple mil for big daddy record label ur not gonna get anywhere

haha peepher myspace pics, she’s lookin ruff now that she doesnt hav a professional stylist!

people want music w/ some substance, wuh do we care how a man makes u feel? wuh do we care if u dont hav a dad? get a life, learn to say “would u like to biggie size that for $.60 more?” b/c teairra u will def be workin @ mcdonalds

(this is kind of a pity that once i FINALLY lern how to spell her name she gets dropped from her label, haha thats life…)

IT CLEARLY WAS OVER FOR HER WHEN JAY GOT SOME OF THAT CARRIBEAN BEAUTY BOOTY…….

BUT SHE IS PRETTY AND I LIKE HER VOICE HOPEFULLY SHE’LL FIND A PLACE THAT COMPLIMENTS THAT

To me Jay Z is all about Jay Z. You see he is dropping his album and when his video came out they were playing it 50 times a day. Hell they even played his video twice on 106 and Park. I have never saw that done before. That let me know right there the power of MONEY. MONEY buys you a spot light that you can keep shining on you for as long as your money does not run out. People can sit there and tell me he did not do some behind the scene stuff to get his video played that many times on all these stations. I was about sick of the video at lest two days later. He is trying to brain wash you by having his videos played way more times then the average. Why would you drop your album around the same time your label mate NAZ is dropping his. I mean come on now. He could have dropped it like even 1 month apart. I would want all of my artist to get a chance. Especially if they only go one shot. It is to me all about ego when it comes to Jay Z. There are some people I feel that he does not want to shine at all (NAZ).
T should not have release that NO DADDY SONG. I hated that song. You will not see me driving around bumping that song. Her CD was $6.00 dollars when it came out. I think some labels sign artist and just put them on the shelf. Hey if they don’t use them at least they are not their competition.

Number 79 you were saying that if the artist were so talented wouldn’t all the record label be tryna get at them. Well all I half to say is you can be talented and they can be many reasons why a label will not sign you.

1. Maybe they already have to many artist and it is not in the budget to pay you to be there.

2. Maybe they already have someone on their label that fits your description.

3. Maybe they are not feelin you at that time and they just don’t want to be bothered with you. You are an investment and they are gonna make sure you can make there money back and then some.

4. I think record labels like to have a little bit of everything on their label. They prolly don’t want 5 Ciaras ( meaning all the chicks doing the same thing and sing the same kinda songs ) I am sure they want a little of everything. So who is Ciara’s competition? They may want some chick that can get with her and she is gonna have to bring when it comes to dancing. Who is T error’s competition? There are many chicks in the game that fit her image she is easily replaceable. Yeah T error can sing and she it cute but there are 50 more out there and more coming each day that are cute and can sing.

WHATS NO DADDY? NEVER HEARD IT PLAYING IN MY HOOD AND WHY DO THIS GIRL AND RIHANNA FAVOR EACH OTHER? WHY HAVE 2 RIHANNA’S WHEN ONLY 1 IS BRINING IN THE DOUGH? I’D LET HER ASS GO TO…

She look like a jamaican ashanti!

I’m not quite sure how I feel about her music personally,but I did expect her album to do better than it did. I agree that she was not really promoted well. I think I heard or read somewhere that she writes some of her own stuff, and I’m always pulling for females in the music industry who take creative control…

Ooooookay!!! Thanks Bill

It’s all coming back to me now…

MARA…You don’t have to be a fan of Rhianna’s to know that she is doing well. These two ladies came out at the same time. I guess people just weren’t feeling Mari. Plus, she never got much promotion.

BILL…I believe what LL says is true. Jay only seems concerned with “Jay”.

TBROWN…Standing ovation!!!

KMNILES…I agree. Bringing them both out at the same time wasn’t a good idea-especially because they are selling the same image and music. There audience is the same. Not good.

ESHA…How do you “look” Jamaican? Please explain.

Her album was LAME as hell and now that someone brought her no-talent ass up, I want my fuckin refund DEF JAM.

Besides, everyone knows that Jay rides with you when you up but he doesn’t fuck with you when ain’t shit poppin.

*yawn* movin on’….shouldn’t we all kno by now that Jay-Z supports & advertises Jay-Z (c’mon ppl). Nas said the same thing and he obviously wasn’t bs-ing…

I agree 100% with #72. Teairra was just completely boring and unoriginal. She was basicallhy a watered down version of Beyonce and/or Ashanti. Other singers may not be the most talented but at least, for example, Cassie had a different look, and a song (Me & U) with a different sound that we weren’t used to. Same with Rihanna and Ciara. Teairra’s shit was just WEAK, just like Christina Milian’s was. Blaming it on the label doesn’t change that. If you wanna make it in this game you gotta come harder than that, end of story.

@#37 & @ #23 said:

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?

If anyone knows anything about the sales industry, you will know for a fact: IT IS HARD BEING TEH SALES MANAGER WITH A QUOTA WITH SALESPEOPLE THAT REPORT TO YOU! You will always pick the BEST sales (promotion) for yourself and leave your subordinates THA CRUMBS!

(Lights dim, curtains close!)

This is that bitch that made the song asking…”do I gotta tell a nigguh how to hold me”…..To respond….No you don’t, but you gotta stop callin’ me a nigguh! Dumb bitch! Thats good for her ass. Jay Z is a bitch!

I never like teirra marie since i saw her. yaw better not start talkingabout ciara and saying that terria is better than her.cuz shes not. ciara probably can’t sing well but she can sing and she can dance. its not her fault that she puts out hits. and rhianna is the same thing. to me rhianna is somebody different than these other artist. terria is just is a one hit wonder. and all ya know that.don’t hate on ciara and rhianna just because that girls can’t sell any records.

First and Foremost, if u don’t have this girl’s album, you shouldn’t comment. Her album was fire. She talked about some real shit and not thw average BS the rest of these hoes r talking about today. She should have no worries, she’ll find a record deal. Haters keep hating. Pretty girls like me and Teairra laugh at haters like ya’ll. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha ha Ha Ha!

Rihanna’s different cause she’s a from a small tropical island and has her cute Caribbean accent. Plus there is a good mix of reggae, pop and r&b on her albums.
Her music has sold well for a new artist:
music of the sun - certified gold on 01/11/06
pon de replay certified gold on 01/30/06
a girl like me - certified gold on 06/05/06 then certified platinum on 07/17/06

TEETEE…You should take your comedy act on the road. You are cracking up with those comments. You can’t be serious. HA!!!!

TEAIRRA MARI IS DROPPED I ACTUALLY CALLED A DEF JAM REP AND ACTED AS IF I WANTED TO CONTACT HER MANAGEMENT TO BOOK HER FOR AN EVENT AND THEY FLAT OUT SAID SHE IS NO LONGER ON THE LABEL!!! I LOVE TEAIRRA MARI SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH SHE HAS GREAT SONGS ESPECIALLY ACT RIGHT , PHONE BOOTH, AND MANY MORE AND SHE IS NOT ORIGINALZ/?? SO WHO HAS A SONG LIKE ACT??? OR PHONE BOOTH??? OR EVEN GET UP YO GANGSTA SO YEAH SHE DOES HAVE TALENT AND WHY HATE HER CAUSE U DONT HAVE A DEAL??? OR U JUST PRIDW URSELF OFF OF DOWNING PEOPLE DOING THEM!!!!!!!

I mean no harm but I am not surprised that she has fallen off.

I just didn’t see her going too far because her talent was just ok. I was never a fan of hers.

Don’t be mad at Rihanna or anyone else because she is leaving def jam. I’m no t a hater, but she only had 1 song!! She’ll be alright if she’s trully talented. Look at the artist not at her label mates.

hot pics on one you can tell how much make up u put on

i know some folks be hatin on teairra and all i know is she can sing and she sing bout some true things so if u dont like it stop listening and stop talkin bout it cuz if u dont then u is really HATING!!!

who cares about tierre mari leaving the rock, jay z still has rihanna, tierra was a flop anyway.

Looks like Jay Z let himself be snowed by the caribbean creep rihanna and then she sucker punched him after she used him. When he should have been promoting his american sister he was out promoting an ungrateful can’t sing, can’t dance idiot who has now latched on to chris brown to use and abuse.

When are americans going to learn that foreign blacks mean them NO GOOD! 99% of them mean american blacks NO GOOD and that’s the hard truth.
