Toni Braxton On ‘Walmart Soundcheck’

Published: Friday 15th Jan 2010 by Trent

Toni Braxton appeared on ‘Walmart Soundcheck’ recently. The contralto singer performed her new song ‘Yesterday’, the first single from her upcoming album ‘Pulse’, which hits stores on March 2nd. To date, the song has peaked at #12 on the Hip-Hop/R&B chart and has yet to appear on the Billboard Hot 100.

Something about that performance didn’t seem quite right. I sense that she was wither lip-syncing or using a very loud backtrack because they only time she appeared to be doing any real work was at the end. However, Braxton is without a doubt one of the best singers to ever pick up a microphone and given her medical condition, I fully understand why she might need a bit of assistance to get through the song. I eagerly await the 2nd single from the album though, as ‘Yesterday’ does absolutely nothing for me. Check out her interview below:

    Toni, you are beatufiful! Stop with the knife and surgery. First it was your nose now your face….she’s starting to look plastic. This was lipsynced no doubt about it. This song is not doing good on the charts. Atlantic needs to drop antoher single or her first week sales will suck. Her single only went up the charts cuz of the single now it’s down to 32 on the charts. Why the hell is she looking brighter stop the bleaching!

    I just wanted to say after getting out my comments above, I really want Toni to succeed on the charts. I will be picking up her album when it drops. Good luck Toni but enough with the physical alterations.

    I wish her the best but I hope the masses show support at this point it might be make or break. Honestly Toni”s buzz hasn’t been strong since the beginning of the decade.

    Soundcheck performances usually appear to be off though. I think it’s because the singers perform the songs more than once with all the cameras and stuff and then they either edit the vocals or something.

    s*** voice!

    Artists like Toni Braxton and Sade to me invented Quited Storm, so it is great that they are both returning this year.” Yesterday” is a great song, just minus the Trey Songz, cause this is not his moment. This needs to be about her. This performance did sound back tracked, which is a shame cause I know she is better than that. Am I the only one who feels that the long(possibly fake) hair doesn’t suit her? Something about that short black do that makes her appear edgier, sexier, and more classic. Quit it with the Beyonce get-up Toni, you are beyond her.

    No, Actally this was noted to be live, Toni can just sings thats basically it an to prove, check out the very end of her performance, The woman can sing, and she also noted it was live via twitter
