WHAT MUST ONE HAVE TO HAVE CROSSOVER APPEAL? JUST WONDERIN?
————————————————————————————————————————-
I know your question was not directed towards me but it caught my attention. The way to have crossover appeal is to ditch partially who you are to appeal to white. Maybe teairra will have to make her hair lighter, or bleach her skin, perhaps chop off her nose, or put in some green eyes to have a crossover appeal. MAybe she should do some techno or country music? If you look like too much of a black woman its hard to have that crossover appeal in my opinion.

Sometimes I wonder if people will spend the rest of their lives just listening to Beyonce and Rihanna because you guys don’t try to give anyone else a chance.

@JSCENE, I MISSED U 2!, WELL, I MOVED TO ATLANTA AT THE END OF FEB AND ITS BEEN NONSTOP CRAZINESS EVER SINCE. IM BUSY ALOT WITH MY CAREER, BUT NOT 2 GIVE 2 MUCH AWAY, I WILL JUST SAY, DIDNT I SAY I WAS SELF MADE IN 08?, LMAOOOOO.

EMAIL ME SOMETIMES: CANDYGYRL504@YAHOO.COM

They should have invested more in the photographer, creative team, and post editing than the wardrobe. The lighting, framing, and resolution is shitty as hell. That is all.

AND WHAT ALOT OF YALL DONT KNOW IS
BEYONCE IS HER MENTOR AND SHE IS GOOD FRIENDS WITH SOLANGE
SOOOO IF SHE LOOKS A LITTLES BEYONCE-ISH
IT UNDERSTANDABLE
BLAH BLAH

@GET ME BODIED

WELL CON-GRAD-U-DAM-LA-TIONS! I’M HAPPY FOR YOU! AND YES, YOU DID SELF MADE IN 08! FRUITION IS BEAUTIFUL, CONGRATS. KEEP DOIN IT GIRL.

Fire that stylist!! ASAP!

Why can’t artist take pictures of dress a certain way? As I have said before. Beyonce did not create a ponytail. She did not create singing or dancing. Neither did any other artist people try to compare others to. When Tina Turner went from R & B to Rock n Roll who was she copying off of??????????? Nobody. Everyone has their own style.

@ HONEST CRITIC

YEP, YOU’RE RIGHT, AND THANKS FOR HAVING THE BALLS TO SAY IT, CAUSE WE ALL KNOW WHAT WAS MEANT BY THAT COMMENT….

BUT I THINK SHE’S GOT A GOOD CHANCE OF CROSSING OVER…WHEN YOU GOT REAL TALENT AND SOMETHING UNIQUE, BLEACHING YOUR SKIN, CHOPPING OFF YOUR NOSE, WEARING LONG BLEACHED OUT HAIR EXTENSIONS ISN’T NECESSARILY NEEDED. MARY J. BLIGE IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF A ARTIST WHO DIDN’T DO ANY OF THOSE THINGS, YET SHE SUCCESSFULLY CROSSED OVER…SO MANY RACES LOVE HER, AND GO OUT AND BUY HER MUSIC, LOOK HOW MANY CD’S SHE SELLS WHEN SHE RELEASES HER PROJECTS….THE WORLD ACCEPTS HER FOR WHO SHE IS….HER VOICE IS HER TICKET, AND HER COMMITMENT TO KEEPING IT REAL….

@JSCENE, THANK U BABE! AND LIKE I TOLD U, KEEP BEING URSELF….. AINT NO ROOM FOR NOBODY PHONY.

@ Honest critic
It just seems like when we support our artists its not enough. The minute the “others” start looking at them they switch up and forget who was in the malls and small ass clubs supporting their butts.
I am not feeling this little girl. I put an X on her when she came out with that “aint got no daddy” crap so I wont be checking for her from these pics alone. I would love for her to shock me though.

@ Jscene Mary is like the only one I could think of and you mentioned her too. Sad.
IMO Real talent dont get you far anymore.

@82

COULD’NT AGREE MORE!!!
ESPECIALLY THE LAST PART!!
ITS OTHER GREAT ARTIST OUT HERE THAT ACTUALLY MAKE GOOD MUSIC BUT NO ONE WANTS TO GIVE THEM A CHANCE.ITS LIKE A POPULARITY CONTEST.AND ITS A DAMN SHAME BECAUSE YALL ARE MISSING OUT.

The high fashion ANTM look, must be “in” this season. Well I’ll give T-Mari one thing, if this album flops she’ll have a career in modeling. I’m not too impressed with her current single “Hunt 4 U”, but hopefully she’ll have a hawt video.

@73
IF SHE IS A NOBODY WHY DID YOU WASTE YOUR TIME TO COMMENT LOL

I wish the young so called “talented singers” would show us real talent with their voices, and not their bodies. It gets boring seeing naked girls all the time. What happen to dressing “classy” and having a “voice” the African-American community will always be steps behind others because they want to mix “trash with class” and it doesn’t work.

Youtube…Regina Belle, Miki Howard, Anita Baker, Vesta, Chaka, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, and many others. That’s class without being naked.

If this chick can sing, she needs to go to the UK where real talent is respected. American is too racist; and the African-Americans have yet to relieve themselves of “house nigga vs field nigga mentality.

How the hell is Rihanna someone to be considered when she is talentless? hahaha! Rihanna aint really pretty, she lightskinned, and that’s what Americans(black and white) loves. They said “Beyonce and Rihanna” is the best out there, lol! Put Indie.Arie and Jill Scott on the stage with these two and see what happens. Americans don’t care about “talent” they need the two lightest chicks in the game so whites can feel or tell blacks they have made it to the promise land,lol!

Beyonce and Rihanna hottest chicks to sell their souls to the white establishment in the game. Sell sex, “you the hottest” lol! However, I don’t blame them, get your money somehow.
Notice how Rihanna is with Chris Brown and they are the “hottest” couple now,lol!
What ever whitey. I’m not buying.

91.

MANDY,
I feel you. I ex’d her out too when I heard that stupid song, but honestly from the material that has leaked so far it seems like she has matured a lot. Plus I think part of the hood image was what Rocafella wanted. She was 17 and was doing what she was told even if it meant act extremely hood and sing very sexually that’s what they wanted. I didn’t buy her last album, but her maturity has caught my attention this time around.

cute pics, love the tuxedo tights, and she’s a cutie!!!

She’s a pretty girl. I’m gonna be looking 4 her single. And ppl get off Beyonce and Rihanna they living their lives

t-mari doing everything right! 09 shes going to shine so bright. tyra be hoein with her eyes.

The first three pictures were great, but the last few…come on! They look soooo generic and she looks like an idiot! LMAO I love the coat, but I can tell she’s got limited funds and is trying to spread stuff around…The styling is amateurish and no professional photographer wanted her in these poses…

i don’t like them but i always thought she was a really pretty girl and she does look beautiful. i just don’t like the clothes or background or poses.

and lol @ the “she’s trying too hard” or “she needs to go back to her real style” comments. that’s what i’ve always said about rihanna. all of these women are the same to me. fake. if i want a real artist, i’ll listen to indie music

I actually like Teairra’s voice. I’m not crazy about the pictures (they’re OKAY), but I’m more concerned with the material she’s gonna be putting out. I liked the joint she has with Pleasure P too so I’m looking forward to hearing the other stuff. Teairra isn’t really trying to be like anybody I don’t think. She’s just doing her and tryna get her foot back in the store and I you can’t be mad at that. I hope she does well. The artists who really do have a voice should be the ones being praised and prospering, not the label puppets who do whatever people tell them to do.

@95 Angie.Who
YOU FORGOT TEENA MARIE AND LEONA LEWIS!!!
BUT YOU MADE SOME GOOD POINTS THOUGH

WHY DO YOU THINK KELLY IS STAYING IN THE UK.AMERICA DOESN’T CARE ABOUT MUSIC ANYMORE!! THEY CARE ABOUT ALBUM SALES,FASHION,HAIR,ALL THAT DON’T MEAN SWAT!! THAT DON’T MAKE A GOOD ARTIST.IM READY FOR A CHANGE IN R&B MUSIC BECAUSE IT SUCKS RIGHT NOW.

AND I HOPE TIERRA MARI AND ALL THE OTHERS OUT THERE LIKE KERI,AMERIE,CIARA,CHRISTINA M. STAY TRUE AND DONT SELL OUT LIKE THE OTHERS.

She looks good.

I don’t think her earrings are big enough, I think the need to be at least 3 inches wider and longer… those pictures look like the pictures my nice can take in the bathroom at my grandma house lol.. it just looks cheap to me.. hopeful;ly she makes it.. Obviously she’s been trying hard to get back in the game..

That last pose did look like that Beyonce Sasha Fierce promotion photo.
But I guess she’s coming hard. Let’s just hope her new style is as hott as her new sound;

THAT DON’T EVEN LOOK LIKE HER

shes pretty
but i don’t rly like her hair.
Hopefully she’ll do great this time around.
We’ll see!

“Jockin’ Queen B, Jockin’ Jockin’ Queen B”
but I wish the best for her though, she should have been better that Alien Princess RiRi

Y are y’all always trying to put people in a box. Who are you to say who some1 is or what they can become? Who are you to dictate what they can grow into? Black people always limit themselves. Even if she is hood she can’t change or grow as a person damn. No one on here knows any of these artist. Yall kill me.

her hed too big 4 dat bun, nothing high-fashion bout these, need some photoshopping, she look too average 4 these antm shots….she needs to find her n quit the shyt…dey done f*#ked up her career…

If you think Teairra doesn’t look to hot, that’s ok but to call the girl ugly and say she doesn’t have what it takes is a bit much. See one thing about Tea is that she’s out living her dream while your sitting at home on your computer talking negatively about her. U mad becuz she has the ball to do something you’ll never accomplish in life? U mad becuz she’s living out her superstar dream while your not even a local town hero?

Cute girl but GEEEEEEZE!! MUST everyone try to be like SASHA FEIRCE??! I mean its weird…NO ONE is like QUEEN Bey!!!!

OK FOR THOSE WHO COMPARING HER TO BEYONCE OR RHIANNA THERE IS NO COMPARISON THOSE TO ARE MORE POP MAINSTREAM SO OF COURSE THE ARE GONNA BE MORE POPULAR EVERYONE DONT HAVE TO BE A PUPPET FOR THESE RECORD COMPANIES (SELLOUTS) JUST TO GET SOME SHINE! TALENT DONT MEAN RECORD SELLS!

jscene said:

Um, how do you know the persona she’s portraying is not her? What’s her personality like since you know her personally? You must know since you know this isn’t her. How about you don’t know the true her, you have no idea what her style would be, and maybe if she appears uncomfortable, it’s because she don’t walk around everyday in garb like that.

Damn, anything to throw salt!

@hey haters

How is she fronting? I guess you’re another one who knows her personally to the point where you know her real personality…..You’re just another one throwing salt cause this girl hasn’t been out long enough to have established a particular style, yet people swearing this isn’t her style….whatever….

LMAO!!!!!!Is this the same Jscene that stay trhowing “salt” at other female entertainers. Hypocrisy at its finest. I guess your advice doesn’t apply when it’s for your favorite artists?

I’m Sensing Some Jacking of Janelle Monae with less clothing but it’s hot though I’m loving it *fierce*

I thought she was Keyshia Cole but her pics ok tho.

I wish her the best but, to this day, she has STILL left a bad taste in my mouth after I was at her album listening event at the Universal offices in Detroit (now closed) and this chick had an attitude the whole time. Didn’t even want to stand up or speak to the group to “hype her album” or anything, like the listening party was an inconvenience for her….so I guess she’s trying to put in the work this time around…

Good luck nonetheless and hopefully this album fairs better!

agreeing with number 1….

thats an fugly jacket, at the very least, it better b faux fur

What is this nonsense about Teairra not havin ‘it’? I thought talent was the ‘it’ needed 2 pursue a music career, Plus she is a beautiful girl too. Its not all about appearance people. Given the right material and support Teairra can make it.

SHE NEEDS TO STOP JOCKING JAY-Z’S CHICK, QUEEN B

LOL I MEAN LOOK AT THE LAST PIC LOL

SHE A VERY PRETTY GIRL THOUGH.

As many people as Beyonce has swagger jacked from ya’ll really need to leave her name out of this post.

Can’t no body else where adult onesies and pose?

I like this girl

I swear all of you’ll are idiot’s! What’s wrong with the girl switching her style up? Nothing at all, so you’ll need to get off the girl joc cause i don’t see you’ll doing anything besides talking a bunch of mess. T you do you and I hope you succeed.

Feeling her new single!! Go Mari!

if she cant show the twins y bother

I know people are note trying to say this child is copying Beyonce of all people! Beyonce? The same Beyonce who has been recycling other artist her entire career?

The real Beyonce wore blond cornrolls, sequinced tops and studded low rise jeans - don’t ever forget that! And the original Rhianna wore Beyonce’s left over wigs and clothes until she got left overs from Kelis and Fe Fe Dobson - Don’t forget that either. If they can “switch it up” so can Teirra. None of these people have real style.

By the way, she’s a very pretty girl, never realized how pretty she is. Beautiful skin and she still looks her age. Now i just have to hear the new music, because her old songs were trash.

Even though this look isn’t her, she looks fierce. I need that fur……………..T. Marie, girl watch ya back.

no matter what anyone else has to say about it, i like it.
these are some really great shots. wish i was still doing photography.

okay…

WOULD YA’LL STOP HATIN! dang! let the girl do what her publicity people are telling her to do!…she has an amazing voice and she’s beautiful…I bet half ya’ll are UGLY! over here criticizing. She’s not trying to be anybody but who she is…goodness…Black people always trying to put other SUCCESSFUL Black people down. She’s doing more than you are! how does that feel? geesh

rihanna was forced to rock the beyonce look in the beginning, she doing her own thing now, stop mentioning her name. she ain’t got nothing to do with teairra mari.

The pics are cute, but what I care about ultimately is the music. If the music is pleasing to my ears, I could less about some promo pics. If she was wearing ordinary clothes, then people would say she needs to come harder, or she needs to switch her style up. Some people are never satisfied either way and if she reads these comments I hope she brushes off this negativity and realizes that. Anyway, I didn’t care for her music the first time she came out. I don’t like the song she has with Pleasure either, but I will still give her a listen. That goes for anybody who I think can sing. I want to see if they have evolved and used their voice into singing something worth listening to. So best of luck to her. She’s gonna have to have very thick skin, because as you can see people are gonna nit pick her every move. SMH.

Also big ups to the truthful comments in here about the politics of the music industry. I co sign the fullest.

Sexy as she wants to be! I love me some Teairra Mari !!!

Don’t care what anyone says, she’s a bad chik, love her style & her music, can’t wait 4 her to come back.

She’s looking very Sasha Fierce! LMAO Except a better body and in shape, get it Tierra, damn Beyonce can’t catch a break. These YOUNG bishes is serving it up to her old kanckled a$$ LMAO

@103

How is Kelly doing over in the UK? I think a lot of people knock Mr Knowles for a lot of things; but being a smart business man is not one of them. He knows business, he knows “racist azz America” and he probably told Kelly to stay over there so she can get paid. He understands America’s obession with skin color. He understands how talented you are it’s not happening in America. I’ve heard people accuse this man of sending Kelly to the UK, so, he can concentrate on Solange, lol! I don’t know his heart or intentions, but, I do know how is helping Kelly to get paid hurting her. If she is a success, so is he. A lot of African-Americans singers are successful outside of America.

What America loves is lightskinned chicks; they love them to love them and they love them to hate on them. It’s so crazy over here. African-Americans will swear up and down they aren’t racist, yet, they are some of the most “hyper”critical people I’ve seen here. Rihanna is not prettier than Kelly; but that’s who they love and worship. The white racist, have left a legacy to be admire for the crazy one. You have blacks trying hard to be white or near white, Tyra Banks! Girl is a coon! if I’ve ever saw one.

They absolutely know no talent! Rihanna is hot because she is “lightskinned, dresses like a S&M vixen, and was told to hook up with the hottest young lightskinned male entertainer. All of them are in this crap together I suppose.

Want to be respected as an artist, you should leave America like the dollar. Want to know true artist, leave these clowns and join the families in UK.

I like this girl, she looks pretty. She is wearing the clothes in her own way. If I hear the music and she sounds good then great.

I don’t know why people are having a go at her. For a good few years I haven’t seen originality form anyone.

Everyone is copying others in this industry. Why should we expect something different from her?

What is an exotic look? Someone please explain. Is that another word for ugly or weird?

u know what……i’m usually not one 2 make celeb comparisons but u cannot tell me from the dramatic eye makeup from that video shoot to that uncomfortable ass pose that this aint a bootleg sasha fierce?

its all about trends right now and thats what shes following, not bey! bey is following the trend, ci and ri following and so on, but i miss unique styles when everyone had their own thing going, but people get treated like crap if they follow or if they lead.

when this chic first came out I NEVER really cared 4 her because to be she was all GHETTO and her music wasn’t DECENT. besides she was the rest of them other flops like OLIVIA, AND BROOKE VALENTINE. MY TWO HOMEGIRLS CIARA AND KEYSHIA ARE ON THEIR THIRD ALBUM and this chic is behind. well i’m not knockin down her GRIND 4 her to come back into the MUSIC SCENE because alot of people are fed up with the wasteful talent that’s out here now. so i really can’t say nothin bad about her.`

YALL REAL ANGRY DANG WHOS 2 SAY 1 PERSON CANT BE DOING HIGH FASHION..& Y DO BEYONCE AND RI RI ALWAYS GOTTA BE DA IT GURLS THERES MORE PEOPLE WHO WAY BETTER THEN THEM BEYONCE STILL CANT ACT AND I ONLY HEARD RI RI SING GOOD 1 TIME! SO N E WAYZ FALL BACK AND HER LAST ALBUM WAS NOT NASTY WTF R U PEOPLE TALKIN BOUT!

She kinda looks like a dark-skinned Beyonce in the first pic.

I guess I’m in the minority here. I liked the song about her not having a daddy. Can’t remember the title of the song, but it was catchy. However, I bet if Rhiana would’ve released it, NUCCAS would’ve been buying it like HOT CAKES w/ crispy bacon!

Church!

Angie.who

I have to agree with you. If Estelle was American she would never be where she is now.

You don’t even see many black presenters on American TV, and I mean black.

Remember June Sarpong. Imagine if she was an American, she would never have gotten a job.

I’m still waiting for someone to explain what “exotic” is. Here in London, that is what white people used to call black people when they thought we were weird.

@68 HI GetMeBodied!! Long time!

Tierra looks great! I enjoyed her last CD and I’m glad she’s finally getin some shine. She is very pretty and I’m diggin the hair. Thats all.

kelly rowland will never look better than rihanna, light skin or not.

rihanna is a beautiful chick, her skin don’t have nothing to do with it.

I do not usually compare artists because I know everyone has different or similar trends as another which doesn’t mean they’re swagging eachothers style. However; Teairra is straight up and down looking like Sasha Fierce. I’m not saying she’s copying but the whole image looks like a Sasha Fierce knock-off. Sorry.

From that bun, Beyonce wears that ALL the time. The foot pose and the make-up. She does look cute, but it is what it is.

JSCENE, you’re really confused. It is not the Beyonce fans in here hating it is the Rihanna fans in here hating. Beyonce fans don’t give a damn about Teairra, she’s no where near her level. Rihanna fans are the skerred ones right now because they know she is not a stable artist yet, she is an it girl but not stable as an artist yet. Meaning if she falls off now people will forget about her ass in the quickness.

@KEEPINGITREALALLTHETIME

Kelly Rowland is WAA→→→→→→→→→→AAY more beautiful than Rihanna!! ARE YOU JOKING? OR JUST OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND!!

Rihanna is such an ugly alien, fetus, duck, extra chromosome looking chica. Watch the Pon De Replay video and then come back to me. She is not naturally beautiful nor pretty even at all. She’s in fact quite nasty looking. Her eyes are the only pretty part on her.

MY GAWD..DID YOU REALLY SAY JUST THAT!

Brainwashed at it’s finest.
