Longtime viewers of WE tv hit Braxton Family Values will be well-versed with Tamar Braxton‘s quest for stardom in her own right. Fast forward two years since the show’s launch and it looks like the youngest of the clan is onto a hit with new single ‘Love & War’.
Details after the jump…
Released at midnight, the LaShawn Daniels penned cut has rocketed straight into the top ten on iTunes (Main)!
An incredible feat on a number of fronts, the song’s performance is particularly impressive given the general plight of R&B commercially today. As such, Tamar is proving that true talent and a hot to trot song will garner the success it deserves – regardless of what barriers stand before it.
Be sure to tune into the finale of the singer’s spin-off show ‘Tamar & Vince’ tonight at 9|8c on WE tv. We’re sure it’ll give the song an added boost.
Haven’t heard ‘Love & War’ yet? Click here to listen!
well done Tamar!
Just look at this relic p**** b**** stealing Keyshia’s sound and running with it. We all know her husband probably paid for the songs himself.
Why would Tamar steal from Keyshia. Keyshia was a mere baby when Tamar first started slaying the mic so take this first class ticket to Neverland and NEVUh return.
And as for the relic p**** b**** comment, I’d rather be a relic than a ghetto b**** whose sales are the low. Mad because Woman To Washed Out isnt triple sandboard yet? You are? You are?! Then f****** seethe b****! SEETHE!
@WSIC4U WHAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHLOLOLO LOLOLOLOLOL B**** I LOOOOOVE YOU!!!! THAT READ WAS APOCALYPTIC chile!!! I’d haaaae to be on the recieving end of THAT massacre!! (pops tongue)
I love this song i have play u tube of the smippets that she did from the song atleast four time a day, i couldnt get it out my head. It was also the song that got me, to understand that things happens and work through my issue with my soon to be husband, because it brought me to tears!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our generation is searching for a voiceʻ not a gimmetʻ these young atars like RitaOra have an appeal but they lack the vocals of Whitney Houstonʻ Mariah Careyʻ and Toni Braxton. Tamar has the voice, our next generationon of vocal icons!
Congrats tamar I’m happy for her
So deserved !
WOWW CONGRATULATIONS TO TAMAR!!!!!!!!!
Wow! It really baffles me how she managed to enter the top 10 with an R&B. I really didnt realize that she was so popular. R&B Artists who have more of an established fan base can’t even get into the top 10 so congratulations to Tamar.
R&B song*
It is luck. It is not the best RNB song of the year. But, she git lucky. It happens. Someone like Rita Whora has so called talent; she is WHITE, BLONDE ;she more stylish, younger, rolls with beyonce and jay. She shades rih, has all the money in world; not to mention an endless A list pormo and yet she cannot GIVE her music away and she has been trying all of 2012.
Then Tamar comes along at 30 something, with no A list people sucking her d***, no vogue, MTV, GQ fashion shoots or Lady Gaga hyping her up and she is on her way to number 1 on itunes in less than 12 hours.
That is the way the game is played.
i BEG TO DIFFER ITS WELL DESERVED SHE HAS BEEN IN THE GAME THAT TOOK YEARS THAT SONG IS PURE PERFECTION TRUE R&B NOT THAT COMMERCIAL BUBBLE GUM MESS! ITS HER TIME AND HER BLESSING THATS WHY SHES IN THE TOP 10 WITH HER SONG BEING RELEASED TODAY!
GAGA
I hope it stays there or moves up as the week goes on. This will be a great start for her. She deserves it…..
Somewhere, someone might just be scratching her weave and checking its position like: “Hol up? I was not expecting this..”.
CTFU!!!!! I know who you talking about but I aint saying nothing cuz i kinda like her too. lol! Good 1 tho! lol! “Over here rolling”.
S***! Rita Whora is w****. How u gonna let Tamar braxton outsell you. So what is the point on going on letterman and Jimmy Kimmel – plus being a w**** if yiu cannot break the USA TOP 10 ITUNES?
LOL AT JAY for signing this w****.
I agree. Jay signing that bigheaded h** Rihanna (who can’t sing for s***) to the Roc was a very dumb move.
Congrats to Tamar and Rita! LOL 😛
But which one of the ” h**” is smash hits with grammies?
Riddle me that? HA HA HA Jay Z did not sign Rih – It was LA REID CEO OF DEF JAM.
YOU DO NOT WIN. THE W**** GOT CALLED OUT BY HER OWN BOYFRIEND AND FLOPPED THE WHOLE YEAR.
Now make a comeback.
You dumbass; Jay did sign Rihforehead. He signed her to Roc Nation as a management client. Idiot.
Rihanna can’t sing. She can’t dance. She can’t act. Is a known industry H**. Has an ugly accent. A clingon sized forehead. Rob calling out Rita was NOTHING compared to the way Chris beat Rihanna’s ass to a pulp.
Rihanna a no-talent h** who should be working the drive-thru at a McDonald’s. Her being a “singer” is a lie and a joke.
I don’t care how many d**** Rita sucks, she’s still prettier and much more talented than Rihanna can and will ever be!
Now make a comeback..
You dumbasss. HER DEAL WITH DEF JAM, and JAY WAS UNDER LA REID. Blah blah blah and who is mega star between Rita and Rihanna?
Now comeback.
I , and many other think Rih is more talented and pretty than that old wrinkle man w**** who is an albanian man in drag.
R****** is on Roc Nation as managed artist, so that means that she IS signed to them. ROFLMAO! It has nothing to do w/her being signed to Def Jam. Dumbass. What a f****** idiot you are. Were you born stupid or did your crackhead of a mother drop your crackbaby ass on your head? Seriously, you need to be put down. You have the worth of rotted meat and probably smell even worse. You have no value in life and you may as well just commit s****** because no one loves or wants you, and no one ever will. It’s the reason your worthless fly-attracting ass has so much time to waste here at TGJ. Haha. Worthless b****, you’re WORTHLESS. Next time you look in the mirror, just remember that you’re WORTHLESS. When you go to bed tonight, remember that you’re WORTHLESS. When you wake up tomorrow, remember that you’re WORTHLESS.
R****** is neither pretty or talented. She’s got the head of a basketball and her singing is about as lyrical as the sound of a garbage disposal, which makes sense since her music is GARBAGE. Only idiots like you actually like that talentless, big foreheaded, big nosed s*** from the slums of Barbadoes. I’m laughing my ass off that her WEAK album couldn’t stay in the top 5 for 2 weeks. Next week should be even more hilarious as it drops out of the top 10 completely.
Far as Rita goes…she can be in some bukkee orgy right now, I don’t care. That still doesn’t take away the fact that she’s 10x better looking than that R****** s*** and has a singing voice that’s 20x better. R****** is nothing but a wooden airhead with no skills, who only real talent was being the b**** that Chris sharpened his fists on. And the way he beat her ass was damn near poetic! LOL
lol! I aint gone bash rita but i dont care for her music but idk if yal heard but he also signed a girl name Bridget Kelly not too long ago and she sounds/looks hot and the joint she got out is nice too. Now im rooting for her.
Yeah. I know about Bridget kelly from 2009. She sang back for jay z on empire when he was on tour. Sorry, to say this, but BK is not get make it. She can sing. But she is not an artis and NOW MORE THAN EVER, YOU NEED UNIQUE ARTISTRY TO STANDOUT. SHE HAS NONE. HER MUSIC, SOUND AND STYLE IS BLAND AS F***. SHE LOOKS VERY OLD – AT LEATS 38 or 9. Whites will not check for her and she will get lost among better RNB singers competing for the limited black consumer. Once JAY, made a bad business move. He only signed her cos she was mixed light skin long hair. Black CEO do that and they wonder why LA reid is the only black ceo?
Jay should scrap all the acts on Roc nation ( except JOCOLE ) and sign and budding artistic act like Dawn richard or FRESH NEW FACES AND keep it moving.
The only person they should keep at flop nation is Alexia Jordan.
I like BK tho, Her voice reminds me of a very light Jasmine Sullivan. I wish her well tho. I hope she dont end up like Teairra Mari did. That would be tragic. I def agree with you on dawn, I think she is so underrated.
Well that’s unexpected, is it that good?
Congrats to her!
Epic.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAS CONGRATULATIONS TAMAR!!
& The haters said this wouldn’t sell..lmao
i knew she had a fanbase from the show…but wow…
Vince did you buy up some of those singles??? lol….I’m a fan though…her voice is cray
lol smh you wrong.
lol no he didnt!
So I guess this is a virtual pie in the face to all the dumb b****** on here who said this song was a flop in the making because it ain’t some silly ass white/gay/dance/pop song. Do your thang Tamar. I ain’t mad at’cha. I might even buy it myself before the day is out.
Its a hit!
It’s a great song maybe Tamar can rise R&B from the dead….
YESSSSS!!!! I’m so happy for her! The track is amazing, bought it this morning and it’s been on repeat since!
I’m ready for her album!
Now to see if she makes the main charts!
Cheeter Whora Slora has a song called love and war too. But where is the album? WHERE ARE USA HITS?
HOW COMES SHE DOES NOT HAVE ANY? TOO BUSY BEING A W****? DAMM, Rihanna got whores turning to the s** trade. The struggle is real.
just DYN LAUGHN chile!!!!
As much as i dislike her as a person… i am completely in love with this song… she sounds amazing!! no shade but this is the kind of material that brandy should of been realesing for her 2-11 album… my only problem is that love & war is the same exact beat that keysha cole’s trust and believe song.. but love and war is better written and delivered… well done tamar…
Brandy took a different approach to R&B this time in which she gave us a new modern sound and it was epic. But as far as the Cole and tamar song comparison you were saying I most def agree, even tho written from two total different point of view. If you compare the craft on “how” they both were written Tamar’s version wins. Now delivery could be debatable because they both can sing they ass off! Keyshia Cole has gotten better with her voice each album.
im a huge brandy fan but in all honesty two eleven was not that good of an album its kinda boring and honestly the songs dont really stand out.. and yes tamar’s version does win in all kind of aspects .. and in delivery its clear that tamar took it way further than keysha… just my opinion..
lol! ok, i feel you vanny. and thank you for not cursing me out for having an opinion like others on here #cough* wont saying any names.
Sounds like Keyshia Cole “Trust & Believe” to me.
I am still proud of her because she really one relevance
well it is the same beat i agree with you 100% but love and war i better written and delivered completly different tamar killed it… but i love both songs tho.. 😉
That ad lib she does on the last hook of the song gave me life!! she sounds incredible!!
i feel a cat fight comn on when this starts charting and ‘trust and believe’ doesn’t do as well as this. Keshia will start whinning. i like both songs tho but can’t stand Keshia chile
Congrats Tamar. There are whores that would suck 20 d**** to exchange palces with you right now. But you did not need PRMO or d*** sucking. U also do not need to stalk another singers whole LIFE. U DID THAT ON RAW TALENT.
AND THE U REAP THE REWARDS.
Jheeze tell us how u really feel did rita ora hurt u personally ur dislike for her goes beyond what anyone considers normal calm down sweetie stop foaming at the mouth like a rabbid dog take a dip breathe
Anyone who f**** or tries to shade rih, will get it
DYN @ FLOP chile!! he/she is giving me LIFE!!!
Deaddd I read “Tony Braxton” (these T-names though)
Congrats sis !! At this rate it should scalp the rest to grab #1..clearly the R&B Gawds sent Teabfgshkjdhd Braxton to save R&B.. I’m here for this!
Im happy for her! Even tho I really dont like her personality. I like this song a lot! we need more R&B artist like her, keyshia, brandy tyrese, trey too even tho he slipped and fell like hell on that chap 5 (ugh terrible) but yes! Tamar Im rooting for you! Congrats on your 10 peek! I hope you keep moving up!
Tamar is an incredible talent. If you are a fan, check out her first album, Tamar. It was released in 2000. Great songs and she even hits those Mariah Carey whistle notes. You can find the album on Amazon.
Not the way Mariah does them tho lol.
Well I wasn’t expecting that, especially from an R&B song so good job. Very well deserved.
Your kudos isn’t needed or wanted. Be gone.
Excellent 🙂
Hope it keeps going up!!
Sam
You are feeling like s*** right now. Since Cheeter Whora Slora got exposed, you pushed into a corner. Now, you are mad that A HUGE A LIST AMERICAN NETWORK has picked up styled to rock. You are scared that style network and E! are gonna make it bigger and better and expose Rih to more whites in MIDDLE AMERICA. This will hurt Beyonce and RITA WHORA SLORA.
This is why you did not mention Styld to rock being picked up for the USA. You have been making fun of the low ratings in the UK for months. But…..IT STILL GOT PICKED UP AND REMADE FOR THE USA BY STYLE NETWORK – A HUGE NETWORK OWNED BY E! Now you are scared. You know, that Rihanna lives in the USA, which means, she can be available more . the only reason why is had low ratings, was because Rih was in it 3 times for only 5 mins. That girls aloud girl was too involved and that turned folks off. This time Style will do it right.
You are scared that Style will get the big name American movie stars to be guest etc. You are scared that America will get see more of Beautiful Rihanna face and personality – as well, as Fashion style. This hurts Beyonce Rita Whora. As Beyonce and Rita Whora will not be allowed on this show, this affects THEIR CAREER. You are mad! WHY DID A BIG AMERICAN WHITE NETWORKS ( NOT BET 0 GIVE HER ”FLOP ” SHOW LIFE? In a year when old fat desperate housewife is making a make – or – break – comeback in an age where RNB is dead and singers are dropping off like flies.
You are scared that E! are gonna MAKE THIS SHOW HAPPEN WITH ALL THEIR best execs, marketers, commercials etc – THus, making RIH EVEN MORE powerful. Powerful beyond music. Too a point where Beyonce will have to start asking Rih for help. You have no pwer, Sam, you are just a black man in London who runs a small ghetto blog. Rih is now doing meetings with some of teh most POWERFUL JEWISH MEN on earth who have the power to shut careers DOWN!
Rih has the POWER TO MAKE A PHONE CALL AND SHUT A B**** DOWN. RIH is beyond MTV. SHE IS HOLLYWOOD. Hollywood do not care if her movies or TV have low ratings. SHE IS POWERFUL – SHE is getting deals ANYWAY. This scares you, cos BLACK WOMEN DO NOT HAVE THIS GOOD,THE FACT THAT RIH IS THE MOST POWERFUL BLACK WOMAN IN THE SHOWBIZ WOLRD, MEANS SHE WILL USE HER CONTACTS TO FINISH BEYONCE. WHORA AND M ETC OFF , and you in your London CANNOT DO shot about it. You just have to sit and watch.
Have U noticed ? The more Beyonce gets ready for a comeback – the more Rihanna ups her game! Rihanna is releasing her new SONG in Jan – a month before Bey at superbowl. Rih is NOW DOING HER TV SHOW, TO F*** BEYAWNCE HBO, which is the same as the one VH1 from last year.
THIS TIME NEXT YEAR BEYONCE WILL ANNOUNCE HER RETIREMENT AND FADE AWAY INTO PRIVATE LIF
why the f*** are you mentioning Rihanna & Beyonce when this post is to do with Tamar? Get a life.
YOU GET A LIFE. That way you can stop stalking mu comments, TRICK
A certifiable loon…
Rihanna’s wack ass album slipped out of the top 5 in its second week with less than a 100k sold. Tell me again how she’s beyond this or that, when her two week old album is already going into rigor.
Somebody better tell her to hurry up and find some talk show host to cry to about missing Chris again to rejuvenate the waning interest.
UNA is near gold in america. It is near platinum in the UK and has been certified in several other countries. F*** YOU NAPPY ASS.
Girl what? Why you find any excuse to bring up Beyonce to make Rihanna look ‘better’ like damn. I thought this was about Tamar not Beyonce and Rihanna. Tamar loves Bey anyway now deal.

Where’s that b**** honey, the one with the eddie murphy pic? The he said that this song was gonna flop hard. Looks like it’s ding the opposite to me.
LMAOOO YASSS i was looking for that old troll they are the same one who said riri album flopped…i was surprise to see the song in the top 5 on itunes this morning, congrats to her!
These damn typos that I keep making lol. Forgive me guys.
-remove the third ‘the’.
-doing*
lol she’s hiding…
chiiiiile IT betta b hiding lolol
She KNOWS she’ll get salyed and IM just the QUEEN B**** to do it chile. WHAT YOU AT B**** @HUNEY!!
Tamar recorded her song before Keyshia, and she SLAYYYYED it. Her conviction, emotion, adlibs….MURDERED keyshias entire CAREER. I’m interested to see which direction Tamar is going in. *downloads song from iTunes*
I just looked at the itunes and I MUST SAY it doesn’t make sense.
Rihanan released “Diamonds” to MILLIONS OF FOLLOWERS on itunes and it got to like #6, not to mention her 60 million fans on facebook and the huge radio stations that played it.
BUt tamar with her 400k followers can get a Top 3 on itunes? I don’t believe it.
season of Tamar chile.
Diamonds has been number 1 in the USA for threee week, h**. Itunes make up 20% of charts. You also need to add physical, airplay, amazon and other places. Do even try it.
lolt heres google play,emusic, rdio, countless other places where people buy music online…this b**** is just dumb thinking people only buy music on itunes.
Something is fishy, major r&b artist find it difficult to go that high up, but some how she does. Has someone been buying her singles, or is that photoshopped….
Shes is married to Vince… idk…
This heffa #2 on the iTunes billboard charts!!! Go head Tamar….she’s winning! She Me Her might be over the top but there’s no denying this girl has some real talent. Song is amazing! Well deserved accomplishment. Congrats Tamar

I do not like the song, but she can SANG. the phrase, ” she can sing” has been thrown around way to much this year on some real basic generic b******. But Tamar can sang her heart out. iT IS NOT the best rnb song, but she has got lucky.
Most times, you need luck.
Watch that ghetto B**** keshia start throwing shade chile cause her single isn’t doing what Tamar is doing. Tamar song the F*** OUTTA THIS SONG!!! #hit repeat huney
BRITNEY AND WILL I AM SITTING A #2 TOLD YALL BRITNEY WAS QUEEN!
There’s a lot of hype surrounding this song right now. Word-of-mouth. Everyone and their mama in the urban market ran to iTunes to support Tamar. She needs to make a video and send the song to radio NOW while the fire is still burning.
L&W >>> T&B. the end.
There was hype for Brandy, Ciara, keyshia, Rita Whora , Kelly R. How comes none of them stormed itunes in 12 hours?
She’s number 2 wow
It is luck. It is not the best RNB song of the year. But, she git lucky. It happens. Someone like Rita Whora has so called talent; she is WHITE, BLONDE ;she more stylish, younger, rolls with beyonce and jay. She shades rih, has all the money in world; not to mention an endless A list pormo and yet she cannot GIVE her music away and she has been trying all of 2012.
Then Tamar comes along at 30 something, with no A list people sucking her d***, no vogue, MTV, GQ fashion shoots or Lady Gaga hyping her up and she is on her way to number 1 on itunes in less than 12 hours.
That is the way the game is played
Well done Tamar! Who said Rnb is dead?
its #2 on itunes now… 🙂
how do u know that?? where are you reading this>?
Good job T
She has lady gaga endorsing her. Enough said.
& she’s still getting it SOLD…PRESSED?
i hope black can take example and support our artist, this what we should be doing buying our people music like how the white buys taylors and stop downloading illegally i’m not saying whites don’t but we need to support our artist more,,….btw i actually bought the song lol 😛
I know why Tamar is ruling itunes so quick,! It has nothing to with the black RNB consumer, as they HAVE NO POWER. LADY GAGA: She is on twitter telling her monster to buy this song cos it his Tamar time to shine, ” me tamar have been best friends since I was 20, her hubby discovered me and is my manager since I was 20.” ” It would mean a lot for me if you support her ” etc etc.
That is THE ONLY REASON SHE SELLING. But big up Lady Gaga for DOING THIS!
Plus she is tweeted the itunes link on her page to her monsters.
Lady gaga sent that tweet out when the song was already number 2
Lady Gaga was nice for doing that. It’s all about who you know in this business.
I don’t give a s*** why it’s selling, all I care about is that it is. I’m pretty sure there is some backstage manipulation going on, but I don’t give a f***. Whether it’s Gaga’s endorsement or if it’s Vince secretly buying up copies, I don’t care. That type of s*** happens all the time with pop acts, so what’s good for the goose…
Now the next step is to get it played heavily on the radio.
Congrats to Tamar!! I hope it lasts because the song is actually good.
The Keyshia Cole comments need to stop now. I would like to enjoy Tamar and her song w/o some drama-starved blog fools trying to instigate some back and forth between two singers who have nothing to do with each other and probably never met. If the two songs sound alike, then so what? Add them to the never ending list of other songs that are similar to each other too.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #2
This s*** is a hit watch it reach number 2!! I told yall this s*** bangs!
Love the comparisons but can they blow like Tamar on the Mic!
Wow what? She is at #2 on itunes USA. How is this happening? Congrats. I suppose it won´t last but damn
In other news: Mariah´s “All I want…” is at #11 on itunes USA. I sit me or is it doing even better than these recent years? Now that Billboard allows old songs to reach the top of Hot 100, could you imagine that “All I want for Xmas is you” becomes Mariah´s 19th #1 one of these years? After more than 18 years later? That would be awesome
Congrats Tamar! She deserved it and she needs to turn da volume down a little on the ratchetness and she will be at the top with Queen Bey.
She slayed this track! I’m so happy for her and I hope she work the charts like never before!
I think her label or man is buying the singles. Nothing against Tamar but the success so far on iTunes doesn’t add up but Idc it’s refreshing to have a R&B song on the top 5 iTunes
I love the song! it was amazing. It is refreshing to hear someone who can actually SING! There seems to be a lot of shade being thrown. But I can almost bet that because of the music being similar (or the same as) Keisha Coles, that the music will more than likely remixed…I can see it comming soon.
I only listen to gospel but saw her show last night and went to youtube and played the songs, it absolutely gave me chills. Tamar is much better than her sister Toni because she has the deepness and richness of the low range but also a purity in her high range, and she really has personality, love her, will buy her cd once out!
