Monday, April 28, 2008
Photos by Brian Davis for CL
This past weekend, Teyana Taylor was in town as a special guest performer for Atlanta’s BMI Unsigned Artist Showcase (photos here). We got up with her over the weekend to just get out and let people know about the album, From A Planet Called Harlem, which is due out May 20th. Teyana really let people have it the club - she hit the stage and danced to her first single, “Google Me,” produced by Jazze Pha.
For more information about Teyana Taylor make sure you check out her MySpace page and look at for her album, From A Planet Called Harlem, due out May 20th.

I do not like teyana taylors music at all..
if me and my friends are talking about her song some one is very likely to still say “whose that?” I still have to say “That girl who was on supersweetsixteen” (MTV)

She wasnt performing at the Unsigned Showcase to get signed, she was performing because thats what performers do. Wayne was there too and he performed also…..The unsigned artists who did perform aren’t getting any media coverage because people probably wouldn’t know who they were. For example. Hollyweerd was there…would you know that group? Not yet anyway.

Can people drop albums before we consider them famous. What is this about. Like Lil Momma released twenty songs and her first album will be released this summer, WTH? There is no reason to buy the album at this point. Okay I wasn’t going to buy it anyway. Did Teyanna even graduate from high school yet? I guess college is out.
Anyway good morning fellow bloggers…

teyana is a very talented young lady, honestly. and such a sweet person. you guys should really wait until her album drops, because she has some heat on it.
you should seriously not judge her before you see what she’s about.
love you, teyana!

Teyana is on her way to the top! If she doesn’t make it in music, then she’ll definately be a fashion mogul. This is how Rhianna started and look at her now! Do it Teyana!

@11…Throwback is fine in some instances…like a costume party. But you can’t throw it too far back. There is a such thing as throwing it back too far. Thank god I am 80s baby (born in 81) and I already wore these looks when I was a youngin

@ 12 Lil Mamas album is coming out 2morrow…But I don’t believe Teyana is gonna do very well, she’s a gimmick and no talent…Nobody wants to see a female version of Pharrell the skateboard phase is passing, we trynna go back to ARTISTS WITH REAL TALENT!!

#35 That is NOT her hair…go and google her to see a picture of her with her own hair. For an idea, think Zoe Kravitz. And I don’t understand Brian’s request…don’t judge her before we hear it?? Umm, am I lost or is the whole point of her FIRST SINGLE and NUMEROUS GUEST PERFORMANCES (not to mention her VIDEO) to familiarize us with her? You’re acting as if we’re blindly saying we don’t like her…we’ve heard her first single and we’re underwhelmed and if we shouldn’t judge her based on this, you will have obsoleted the whole idea of the “first single.” Really, Brian… She sucks…no matter how much of an affinity you have for her and all the gay vogue-ing she does.

Brian, please interview Teyana for CL. I think she is an enigma to many people, and people just want to get to know her.
I’ll admit, I thought she was a spin-off of Lil Mama, until I saw her Friday night on Showtime at the Apollo. She wasn’t that bad. She can rap and SING. And she has a very nice singing voice. “Google me” grew on me a little bit.

Dear Greatestloveofall (aka teyana taylor),
Its really cute how u are defending urself and ur boy but really do u plan on coming back and reading every post so u can respond to it by saying the infamous “stop hating” and “hater” this and “hater” that? I mean really ok we get it, you think everyone that doesnt like you, oh i mean Teyana, is a hater.
Do me a favor: log off, get a thesaurus to find a new word for hater, and get off brian sack.
Sincerely,
someone that wants you to STFU!

I like Teyana and her style. Teyana, everywhere you go there are gonna be haters, after a while, you get used to all the negetivity. As long as you got your team who loves and believes in your project, you good. Yes you need fans to succeed too, and you know you have them, so screw what everyone else thinks about you.
In general, I must say, if you hate on other ppl you cant be mad if ppl hate on you.

#58 It is NOT and I don’t know why people want to argue this point. A picture of her without the weave yet seemingly the same age as surfaced and it looks closer to Zoe’s hair now… It is ALL weave, sorry if that shatters your perception of the girl…but it’s true!

regardless of the fact, she’s an entertainer. her photo alone pulled you in to talk about her whether good or bad. you can buy or illegally download her music, she will still book shows, do photo shoots and sign autographs.
and all you babygirlssss on here trying to read Ms Teyana and Ms Brian, ya’ll are really trying it because i bet you “Google Me” is on your Myspace, and concrete loop is bookmarked on your PC
like the song says … “you aint nobody!” funny thing is, you guys really aren’t.
LOL love you Teyana, keep signing these autographs mama.

Yo..I love STAR TRAK and everyone in it..all I have 2 say is Haters Haters Haters Teyana is goin 2 b the best thing to come out of Harlem or New York period for a while.Ok..she can spit…she can sing and dance on top of that shes very multi-talented.Pharrell knows what he is doin..if he didnt think she culd b a star he wuldnt hav signed her…Pharrell is my favorite artist he can sing,rap,and production he is prolly the best if not Kanye or Timberland.So TEYANA i love u MA u killin everything the google me jam is hot,dopesta w/e ..u rock mami keep doin what u doin ya’ll jus what till May 20th shes gon destroy the summer…n ima b there 2 buy her cd soon as it come out.

Haha! This post is SO FUNNY!
I like it when people don’t hold their tongue for nobody! Not even dear Brian was safe from persecution
And to all the people comin’ down on folks for expressing their opinion on Teyana’s hot garbage music. Go eat a di*k! You need to be glad people are even sayin’ somethin’ about this girl, good or bad. Cause if it were up to the people who had somethin’ good to say about this chick besides the times they were defending her, there would roughly only be about 10 post on here. Give or take a few.
