It amazes me how many double and triple standards folks have - when in fact it's just a way of them rationalizing their negative comments about someone else. She's a hoe. This is not R&B. She can't sing. She can't dance. This song is horrible. She's a Flop. She's too old. She's too short. She's too light...c'mon son, give me a break!!! In one sense I respect your opinions, but by the same token if it's soooo bad, I would ask you to do better. Folks are so quick to rain on someone else's parade, when the reality of the situation is that they could not achieve the things that Teairra Mari is doing. Furthermore, I would love to see if these standards are held for other popular acts. I don't know how many times I've seen other artists p-poppin', wearing revealing clothing (if clothed at all), singing horrible songs - but people would swear by that person as if they are the gospel. But let an up-an-coming artist do it, and she's a hoe...really??? *gives "c'mon son" face*

This is my challenge for those who are being extremely critical of Teairra Mari. Ask yourself, honestly, if another artist released this same song/video, would you be as crtiical? Ask yourself, if Teairra Mari is sooo horrible, can I do better? And lastly, ask yourself, if you know what your talent is, would you let haters keep you down or would you continue to strive on like she has. I'm sure once you consider those questions, in earnest, you will have no choice but to respect Teairra's hustle.

So I'm not saying that Teairra Mari is the best singer out there, nor am I saying that this is the best song or video to grace this green earth; however, what I am not going to do is transpose my own negative thoughts and beliefs on someone else, just because I have nothing better to do than be NEGATIVE...smdh.
