@MELY B I never said Toni had to change to be Mainstream and I never said she didn't have loyal fans I'm one of her loyal fans I love her but it's because I grew up listening to her. We can argue the ends and outs forever but the fact is the music business has changed this isn't a Toni Braxton era she has not had a hit record in years and that's not putting her down that's the truth ! Any artist will tell you now a days the music no longer speaks for itself you have to market yourself like nobody's business (Why do you think Bey,Rihanna,Katy Perry,Taylor Swift & Gaga work so much ?) Yes she had a successful Vegas show but so did Celine who used her show as part of her marketing strategy for her 3 albums she realeased while doing it ! Toni released NOTHING while doing her show. Yes Tamar is over the top and can be annoying but that doesn't give Toni the right to attack her husband and get mad at her for defending him. Any other wife would have done the same. I don't get why Tamar gets checked and called a diva for what she says and does but Toni can sit there IN FRONT of their Mom and say since she's the most successful she doesn't want to work with them and doesn't need them hanging on her and THAT'S OKAY. Like I said I love Toni's music but keeping it real she may be the reason people watched the show in the beginning put she's not really the reason people keep tuning in as someone said she pretty boring on the show. Her sister are helping her out as well because by doing the show their keeping her out there too. She should be just as grateful to them as she expects them to be to her hell long did Tamar sing background for her without getting paid ? Yes she is a legend won't take that away from her but she said herself an artist is as good as their last performance and her and her last chart performance SUCKED. If anything the show will boost her next album sales so I don't get why she's complaining so much !!!
