Team Tamar Braxton are playing no games with the campaign for the singer’s new single ‘Love & War’.
Fresh from topping iTunes a day after release, the LaShawn Daniels cut has been the subject of a refreshingly ruthless promo campaign, which made its latest stop on ABC’s Good Morning America.
Watch below as Tamar and her band rock out to the winning cut!
“She” did that!
Vocally delicious, Tamar’s baritone serves as a nod of sorts to big sister Toni, while the power and adlibs she delivered really establish her as an amazing vocalist in her own right.
Yet another stunning performance.

You’re right, YOYO, there were sound problems. She was getting terrible feedback at the beginning. The echo was HUGE. I give Tamar big props for keeping her composure through it. As someone who sings, I felt for her. There is nothing worse than having the big nerves as you’re starting and then having something go wrong with your music or your sound. Your adrenalin is already running high and technical problems added to it send your adrenalin off the charts. Damn good job by Tamar in this appearance. She seemed much more comfortable and confident.

As a Beyonce fan, I say Tamar killed that performance and the song is hot to death. *Many* Bey fans have been giving Tamar her props, so you missed the mark with this target.

No, she dances while she sings Hot Sugar. It’s just the big ballads that have the demanding vocals, she evidently feels more comfortable sitting. My old vocal teacher would have had kittens over it, but if it works for Tamar, and it seems to, then it’s just fine by me. Every singer has their little idiosyncracies either before, after, or during a performance.

If Tamar can promote the shit out of only one single that’s been out for only two weeks, I don’t know so many ESTABLISHED artists cant get their shit together when it comes to promoting a whole album.
With that said, Tamar, she, her, did and is doing the damn thing with this and all her performances so far. I cannot wait till she starts performing Hot Sugar and when the album releases.

Pon_de mostly everyone that’s a singer is influenced by MC’s vocal style and how she transitions goes into melisma but That doesn’t surprise me. But here she really doesn’t sound like MC. More so Toni. ESP in lower chest range. If you ever listened to “you mean the world to me” you will spot the similarities easily. But they are sisters after all so that doesn’t surprise me much either. It’s just good to see her finally getting her shine after all these years.

LOVE the song but lets keep it real. The song topped iTunes for…minutes then flopped and is currently sitting at #63. It tumbled so fast it fuels the flames of suspicion fowl play was involved getting the song to the top. Its obvious Vince pulled what Tommy motolla got caught doing for Lindsay Lohan on TRL… Vince got office floors of interns downloading off of itunes giftcards and ore-paid Visas to get hype. He knows people follow iTunes like a hawk. Ch… The song is still sickening tho

No the logical reason for that is everybody who is a fan of hers was hype from the episode where she was rehearsing and then the episode of her showcase and went and bought the song on itunes and then so did some of her doubters too.She has not promoted the song that much there is no video yet and she is not pink beyonce or rhianna which means europeon countries like Britan won’t promote her music in any form of way. so she is actually doing great no fowl play she has stans

Yes, yes, and yes. She slaughtered this performance. The only thing I want to see is her lose herself in the song and really go the hell in. She definitely has the vocals, proven by the video above. I just want her to go all the way in to this song. I saw a reminisce of it towards the end when she started to shake that wig and raise those hands (3:38 mark to the end). But all in all a wonderful performance. Excellent job Tamar. Hoping there’s more music and performance to come of this caliber.

“Vocally delicious, Tamar’s baritone serves as a nod of sorts to big sister Toni”
Umm… Tamar does not have a BARITONE, unless she suddenly became a man and her voice dropped several pitches and octaves.
Please do not use words you don’t understand the meaning of. It makes you sound ignorant, like “conversate” and “irregardless”.
From Wikipedia:
“Tamar has the vocal range of a COLORATURA SOPRANO which spans a range of four Octaves and One Note (C3-D7) …..
…… She is also able of singing notes in the whistle register, producing a tone that is not piercing but instead very smooth.”

Tamar sounded good on both Wendy and GMA, BUT unfortunately, this is a copy of Keyshia Cole’s song “Trust and Believe.” Play both songs on iTunes to see. Tamar’s words are different and she goes into the high registers. I think Love and War went to #1, because Lady Gaga tweeted to her many followers.
It’s too bad because Tamar and all the Braxton girls can sing, she just needs to get an original song.
