it was solid. i love the song.
LMAO @ Tamar and these hair flipping beauty shots throughout the video tho she is so funny
Epic chile
I was cracking up at those hair flips too.
Simple…classy…effective.
The song is already doing well so it didn’t need an expensive video to enhance the appeal. Love & War is the biggest growing song at urban radio right now so great job Tamar and welcome back!
the song isnt doing well on any of the relevant charts right now. it was number one on itunes but fell the f*** off two seconds later………
um no boo. you are wrong. the song is on all the major charts. CHECK AGAIN.
When will there be an option to delete comments from haters and irrelevant people?
Tamar is wonderful and her vocals are superb. She is doing well on the major charts your need to check your info. Must be a Bey fan. SMH
YOUR CORRECT!! JUST GOT FINISH CHECKING THE HOT 100 AND SHE NO WHERE TO BE FOUND!! R&B CHARTS, THE SONG NOT EVEN IN THE TOP 25
I dont know what charts Anthony is checking but the song is sitting at #11 on the R&B Songs Chart on Billboard.

um no boo. you are wrong. the song is on all the major charts. CHECK AGAIN.
which ones boo?? what numbers?? [crickets]
why must yall always try and tear someone down? everything isnt about charts and numbers..
its a dope song..dope video. the end. you children on this site get on my last nerve trying to turn every thing into a debate. Sit down somewhere !!!
This song is not on Billboard 100 chart. So it’s a complete flop
@AlonzoWilson Hush
Love you Tamar! All of the Beyonce fans are on here hating. I agree with Mr. Alonzo they need to go sit down somewhere.
what radio station u hear Tamar new song on i don’t hear no rnb female on radio but bey and rih Alica keys in maybe kelly once in a while i love Tamar new song it give me that 90s vibe they need to play more songs like this on the radio in i cant wait to bUy her album
The song was just sent to urban radio last week. It debuted at #29, the biggest growing song at urban radio this week.
U kids are always talking about charts and don’t even know how they work. Just because you see a song on itunes doesn’t mean the label has started to promote it at radio yet. Breaking a song takes time.
Once the song goes top 15 at urban the label will start to push it at rhythmic and then MAYBE pop radio if they feel it is worth it. Now have a seat!
Musichead thank you for schooling the haters!
@Dr. Collins I hope ur not a rihanna fan talking s***….
I feel the heat , but i don’t see the fire 🙄
I wanna call you a hater but that was funny lol
love her voice but her plastic surgeon should be brought up on charges……
hhhhhaa!!
f**
great comeback………
Nice video, very simple with a 90s feel. When artist videos were about them and the song and not the gimmicks and theatrics behind them. Maybe a little more dramatic considering the songs lyrics but still good.
I actually like it. They didnt go overboard and kept it simple.
I think it was a little too simple. There’s a middle ground between boring and overboard and I think the video was on the boring side. Maybe if they would have acted out a little more ‘love’ and ‘war’ drama it would have been more interesting. I still like the song though, I think it’s good enough to stand alone. I’d only watch the video again just to hear/sing along with the song.
True.
@Anne I thought it was boring too.
Beautiful #Enuf said …..i cant wait till Kelly Rowland kicks ass on Monday with her new single!!!! The first time Beyonce and Kelly was out at the same time,Kelly’s When love takes over kicked Sweet dreams to the curb in the whole of Europe,the second time Beyonce and Kelly was out at the same time,Kelly’s Commander kicked Beyonce’s Why dont you love me to the curb in the whole United Kingdom and the third time they were out at the same time,Kelly’s Motivation kicked Beyonce’s Run the world to the curb in the whole United States of America!
And y’all called Ms.Kelly a flop? Go to your neighborhood mall and buy Kelly Rowland’ss TW Steel watch collection
What does Kelly have to do with Tamar?
nothing..i’m just ranting as usual….
Kelly’s handful of fans don’t give up do they? This is Tamar’s post in case you haven’t notice.
The lies you just told Sweet Dreams and Why don’t you love me became hits, unlike them two. And Sweet dreams sold more… Now you tried but fail.
@alonzo …do your research… When love takes over was #1 in 11 countries…Sweet dreams was #1 on the main charts in only New Zealand…
2. Why dont u love me peaked #51 in the UK while Commander peaked #9
3.I dont create useless lies like other bloggers
4. i like beyonce,Im just stating facts
5. Go to sleep
…but Kelly album still flopped with top contributors on both songs (Guetta & Lil Wayne) while Bey sold millions around the globe with 4 & IASF! You reached for that chile!
Nice, Cant wait for the album.
IDK always has good taste in music lol
Tamar is SERVING hunny!!!!! YESSSS this video is everything! She looks gorgeous!
I just have Trust & Believe in my head when I hear this song. I do like what Tamar’s doing though,
the beginning of Love and war is similar to trust and believe …The two songs also have similar rhythms but different pitches
I’M BACK B****** MISSED ME!!!!!!

cute for what it is…I enjoyed
Hey C*** missed me h**
can’t miss someone I don’t know…
DAMN! Lmao!!!!! @monstarebel….OMG I can’t stop laughing.
I love it, but it’s a day late and a dollar short
now back to this video, why does it remind me of mariah’s HATE U sooo much???
I saw that too. But Mariah is her idol…and that rock in the background looks just like the one from mariahs video
You know I kind of thought that too but in Mariah’s video there was no man.
I’m thinking love takes time
but then again its cute and i guess not everyone gets a lady gaga budget video…
Dramatic black and white, slow motion feel….i like!!! Also i must comment on how good she looks with less makeup, it doesn’t seem to be caked up in this clip and she looks a lot more natural and s***, especially with the dark hair.
Her voice is simply amazing and on top of that she’s absolutely gorgeous.
Dont yall try it cuz ….
It it sucks then This video is just as BORING AS “BROKENHEARTED GIRL.”
So have several.
Dont tear Tamar down cuz she’s not your favourite
love the song the video dnt match doe
Nice. The visual complimented the song very well. The song is solid on its own. I was thinking that maybe she could have tributed our servicemen and women, as the song is called Love & War, and possibly had a husband going off to war and she doesn’t want him to leave type of context.
This video def reminds me of a Mariah video except more low budget. Great song but video bleh…
Damn just enjoy the song and video… Everything is about charts and numbers with you people… Why can’t it just be about the music and vision….ugh….
powerful vocals on a song, yet the video was missing a solid story line. it was too simple, it had to many pointless, beauty shots where a story could have went on that went along with the song. i feel ppl are hyping her up too much. she is far from bad, BUT she isnt as big as every one on this site is trying to act. she is only doing well on the rnb charts, she hasnt been requested on major shows yet. dont fool her, readers of tgj and yourself that she is on toni’s level back in the 90s. she is just an rnb singer who had brief iTunes success, thats it.

keeping it real.
B**** f*** u. Hater!
im a hater, yet i BOUGHT the song on iTunes, i watch the show as well. smdh. i spoke the damn truth. tamar 1st day sales were all hype and they went down. good song, nice voice, bland video with artificial hype, like most artist of this site. out side of black blogs, tamar name is not thrown around like this.

People abuse these dislikes on this site. I just cant. I agree tho. And Not everyone is a hater. Smh.
A little late. The hype has died. Second single please.
You must be 13, did you take your ADHD meds today?
lol IKR.
Didn’t this song come out like last month? How is this “late?” Seriously, these middle school brats need to have their Internet access restricted.
Trust And Beleve me cause you going to need me I’m so over you go get lost who do you think you are my bad rong song *runs
next single needs to be hype!!!!! no ballads please…
Her first single was supposed to be Hot Sugar, but they decided to go with L&W. This song could’ve done well if they didn’t move like snails.
No one wants to hear that stupid ass F** s*** but you!
Toni said” let it flow” , but this said out my ass…
LOL 🙂
I think she was referring to you.
its a no for me!!! now ya’ll know vanny gonna keep it real with ya’ll…. to many beauty shots i feel like she came across to conceded in the video and was to worried about the way she looked!! there was no chemistry with the male actor and the song was not relatable to the video well only on some parts… sorry love the song but i did not like the video!!
Who gives a F*** what u think F**?! U a h** ANYway. #rollseyesghettostyle
I agree.
Cute for what It was…I think I like the song better than the vid. Maybe a few scenes acting out the lyrics and less slow motion. But that’s just my opinion.
Makes me think of Janet in the 90s. I’m likin’ it!
These f*** be killin me, whew. Go to your nearest men’s room stall and have a seat unload all that shady b******* there and flush. Then go have a seat somehwere else. PLS and THX
i think it went well 4 the great song it is, cute boo-
l hate videos that dont have a storyline. tamar isnt pretty enuf to pull off a plotless beach video with a bunch of close ups…..only bey can do that!!
trust and believe [video] >>>>>love and war [ video]
love and war [song] > trust and believe [song]
I agree with you about her not being as pretty as Mariah Carey or Bey to pull off just flipping her hair around in the video. But trust and believe has nothing on this song.
She wants to be so much like beyonce that album will not do well
I fail to see how she’s trying to be like Beyonce when Mariah Carey is the one who she admires and is inspired by as a vocalist.
Yeah, I saw no Beyonce just a bit of MC! I don’t think she cares for Beyonce at least not to the point that she would attempt to emulate her IMO!
^Well she’s a fan of beyonce and I do think Tamar would get a bit of inspiration from one of the baddest chicks in the game.
Love the video. Tamar is giving me some Mariah Carey ‘My All’ here and there. Hopefully the song will start to spread more (now there’s an official video up online).
It’s shame chart numbers and stan wars dominate the discussion on this site.
Love & War is a great song and her vocal is amazing x
One word can describe the video. GARBAGE! !! but i love the song.
It has a Mariah Carey ‘Love Takes TIme’ feel, but updated. That is how Mariah debuted. I’m just saying.
I liked this video is was simple and charming. The shots, angles, and sharp lens is what made it look nice. Love the song.
Bit to much love and not enough war.
But then again love conquers all.
My original vision was more Mr and Mrs Smith, but after preview I know was more subtle approach.
Love the song and video is ok.
VERY TRUE.
Pay attention ladies! This is what REAL TALENT looks like. No gimmicks , no cartooned body parts, no colored hair. Raw audio and beautiful video.
But she did have plastic surgery and is wearing a weave so what are you saying? 0_o
She is talented though on that we can agree!
nice!!! very simplistic. i can understand why the hood hive doesn’t like it. if you’re not twerking, patting your weave or doing wacky faces they’re quick to disregard it.
Um b**** beyonce has calm and subtle videos like if I were a boy, flaws and all, halo, best thing I never had, and 1+1, hatin ass b****. It has nothing to do with beyonce tho. Why did you bring that up. It’s just doesn’t match the video. You gonna tell me only beyonce fans think that? BYE. Lol.
A good video for a song, it fits perfectly
Great Video! Would have been more amazing if it shows split sides of the relationship. LOVE = intimacy, Laughter etc. WAR = Anger, Pain, Frustration, Tears etc! Would’ve been more powerful! Other than that i enjoyed the video and it is a good start! Well Done Tamar! (=
Not every R&B ballad needs a Tyler Perry storyline for the video.
It was cute. She looked beautiful. I just wish there were more variety of shots but it did its job. Now bring on Hot Sugar, get ratchet, and bring on that album Tamar!!! Love you. #ImATamartian
LOL totally agree! 🙂
I’m going to need her to enlist Debbie Allen or LaureAnn Gibson before she attempts to dance again either on video or in public! LOL 🙂
*Hot Sugar is a hot song to me!!
Video is cool. I just hate when theydo that slow motion effect. Hated it when Mary did it with You Are My Everything and still hate it to this day. It makes it look like it wasn’t edited well because the lips don’t really move in sync with the song. Other than that, it was cool.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like tamar’s song and the video is cool BUT ……………………………………..
I LOVE ELISHA WARD’S RENDITION & VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ELISHA WARD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Check out Elisha Ward rendition everybody!!!
That song is a heavyhitter and anthem especially with romance and valentines and spring love.
Not what I expected & I love it. It has a “classic” look to it. I expected IIWAB 2.0, Nicki Minaj Right Thru Me 2.0. So proud of her for going her own route with this one, but she needs an urban hit & Hot Sugar is not it! SHE won this won y’all
I like it. She is serving up a little MC, Toni B., and Tamia in this video! I like the relatively quick turnaround between Single release and video release. Good job on doing that! 🙂
“Love living in the middle of a dream
A dream with a little bit of fantasy”
That’s what I got from watching this video
Also got “Now I’m at a place I thought I’d never be. Living in a world that’s all about you and me”
Look em up
They play Tamar all the time in NY. I actually hear more of her then Alicia Keys right now.
