      • Special Delivery July 21, 2014

        @Mark111 and Beyonce is a French name

    • Brian310 July 21, 2014

      Dead but still has more originality than your copy cat fav.

      • bhaskar July 21, 2014

        I support interracial relationship. And you? If you are single and open to look for interracial partners,then don’t miss it. All members in this group believe Interracial relationship. That is –► ____ “MixedPartner.C❤m “….. ___~
        Why not google it and get more information about it? You can google-►Mixed Partner

  2. HistoRih July 21, 2014

    What the hell was that? Does she ever sing live?

    • Danny b July 22, 2014

      Um, she just did? TF you be listening to?

  3. Mark111 July 21, 2014

    Let’s be real, her light skin is gonna take her not farther than the other girls, but faster. But I like that she write and produce her own tracks. I’m rooting for her, Sevyn and Mila.

    • Sam Loves Rihanna July 21, 2014

      Tinashe and Sevyn are talented. Mila J and Jhene Aiko are non-talents who f*** to get put on.

      • SEVYNTHHEAVEN July 21, 2014

        Tinashe is talented? Loool.

  4. SexlijahBlake July 21, 2014

    Call me when she learns to sing live.

    • Mark111 July 21, 2014

      Umm, this was LIVE.

      • DanitySlain July 21, 2014

        Mark! You’ve gotta be kidding! She was miming.

      • Mark111 July 21, 2014

        Was she? Than she did a damn good job, cause I can’t tell.

    • #TeamTinashe Stan (BUY “2 On”) July 21, 2014

      Call me when Elijah actually charts or gets some recognition. 🙂

    • Junior in Jamaica July 21, 2014

      Not all parts were live…she has studied the Beyonce formula. Good backing track with some live parts in between. Nothing new.

      Decent job.

      • FAF July 21, 2014

        Yes @junior !

  5. FantasiaSlayrino July 21, 2014

    Absolutely f****** not. How you gon have a hit song and never do that s*** live.

  6. Career Ender July 21, 2014

    I dare the nazi to come for me, when we all know who doesn’t have b o o b s, hips and ass out of those chicks I mentioned.

  7. CiciFinnaBeABride July 21, 2014

    Basic as f***.

    • Sam Loves Rihanna July 21, 2014

      She gives Ciara vibes tho…

  8. HOTSTUFF July 21, 2014

    i hope she makes it big cause she has the X factor….been a while i didn’t see a new artist who has it…she has huge potential… go girl! one thing tho if you’re gonna do all that dancing, at least where something where we can see your body moving cause u slayed that choreo!

    • HOTSTUFF July 21, 2014

      wear*

  9. Career Ender July 21, 2014

    she can just go on atage and lypsinc the entire performance, I’d still be satisfied **,)

  10. RihNaj July 21, 2014

    She’s sweet and I love this song but dayuum she can’t sing
    I mean it might have been Nerva cause I heard them
    But she needs to do better….looking out for this album tho.

    • dhdjxzbsn July 21, 2014

      There’s plenty of videos of her singing the national anthem on YouTube. I feel bad when people say she can’t sing, but Tinashe does this to herself though by performing like the way she does. She has plenty of time to improve though

    • Molly July 21, 2014

      She can sing look up her singing the national anthem.

    • Career Ender July 21, 2014

      That was pure garbage
      .

      Just like the people that Stan for her
      .

  11. 2ForTinashe July 21, 2014

    Do I see Beyonce fans talking about live singing? Don’t make me laugh.

    • XXX July 21, 2014

      Yes why? Beyonce can sing live. Unlike your fave she didn’t lip sync because she struggles vocals before her career has even started.

  12. Molly July 21, 2014

    She has so much potential rooting for you girl.

    • KatyKadet July 21, 2014

      Kind of like how Iggy roots against laws banning payola?

      • SEVYNTHHEAVEN July 21, 2014

        Oops.

      • CATFISH CAREY July 21, 2014

        BISH YOU ARE THE LAST PERSON TO BASH
        OTHER PEOPLE WHEN IT COMES TO PAYOLA
        YOU STAN FOR A HO THAT WAS EXPOSED
        FOR USING PAYOLA SO HAVE SEVERAL SEATS

  13. Mark111 July 21, 2014

    A Bey stain is talking about names, but Beyonce, Solange,Kelendria, Tenitra , hell BLUE! Enough said.

    • Sam Loves Rihanna July 21, 2014

      Snatch wigs, gworl!!!

    • metzo July 21, 2014

      Now you know That’s a fuckking stretch. There’s nothing ghetto about Solange or Blue. Stop talking out to ass. Ghetto names mostly end with the “aa” or “é” sound. Dante, Onika, Felicia, Moesha ext..
      So Kelendria, Tenitra might definitely sound Ghetto, Beyonce maybe a little bit (only from the haters perspectives); BUT IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM DO SLOGANGE AND BLUE SOUND GHETTO.

      • vee July 21, 2014

        Solange doesn’t sound Ghetto at all to me. Blue Ivy is actually a really cute
        name. It sound very Royal-esque. Kelendria is definitely Ghetto. Beyonce doesn’t sound Ghetto to me either. It has a really unique sound imo especially when it’s being pronounced with a British accent.

    • XXX July 21, 2014

      They’re not ghetto names. They’re european (besides Kelendria) and Blue is a color #TryAgain

  14. idgi July 21, 2014

    So frustrating I’ve seen her performances before and they were so much stronger and better. Why does she sounds shaky… Ffs I want to slap her! She really is better than this. I hope she gets it together, I know she has better vocals and can give sooo much more. Still love her and 2 On though

    • dhdjxzbsn July 21, 2014

      People that do their research on her all the way know she’s super talented. If I had her talent I would really want to show to people that are new to me. I don’t like when people talk trash about her like the way they do, but she puts it on herself performing like the way she does.

  15. Sam Loves Rihanna July 21, 2014

    The song sounds like a Rihanna throwaway that would’ve been a #1 hit. However, she gives me a baby Ciara vibe tho. She has potential.

  16. IStanForYourFav July 21, 2014

    This is cute!

  17. MISS SOPHIA July 21, 2014

    Harpo who this bytch?

  18. Jess July 21, 2014

    Ghetto? Beyonce is actually a French based name though. There’s even a famous French reporter with the exact same name. Spelling, pronunciation, and everything. So…

    • Giiiirl July 21, 2014

      HAHAHAhahaha girl I’m French you obviously have no idea what you’re talking about. Also journalist doesn’t exist.

      • Tyler July 21, 2014

        No, obviously you don’t know what the f*** you’re talking about because she does exist. Beyonce is a French name and so is Tina’s maiden name. Which is Beyince.

  19. KatyKadet July 21, 2014

    Beyonce and Solange are FRENCH names so in which way are they ghetto?

  20. 7 July 21, 2014

    @Mark000 Wow you’re an idiot. Beyonce and Solange are anything but Ghetto! They both are actually European names (Which is totally obvious just by the way they’re both pronounced especially ‘Solange’).
    Dumbass ignorant white boy…

  21. Vee July 21, 2014

    LMAOO. DID THIS B**** JUST SAY BRYONCE AND SOLANGE SOUND GHETTO?!!! *SCREAMS*
    #IdiotAlert . Obviously he doesnt know much about names, origins and ethnicity

  22. Diamond Girl July 21, 2014

    I don’t personally think “Beyonce” nor “Solange” sound Ghetto. Not at all. Just my opinion tho.
    Especially, definitely not “Blue” which is a color…

  23. the voice July 21, 2014

    She is like the opposite of Ciara b/c she gives strong live youtube performances and weak TV performances. LOL

    She just needs CIARA’s Creative Director Jamaica for her TV appearances to be stronger.

    Also, I would like to see her hire Beyonce’s publicist since her publicist was the one to help initially break Destinys Child, Mariah, and John Legend at Columbia Records

    TINASHE HAS IT… She is a star… but she needs the right team…. more publicity, TV, magazines, international music festivals, etc…

    She can get into arenas by the next CD … she has a strong work ethic too .. unlike Ciara.

    Good Luck girl. I’m excited for her.

    • TurntUp4Cici July 21, 2014

      If she had a strong work ethic she wouldn’t move like her hips need oiling.

      • FAF July 21, 2014

        DEAD

  24. #TeamTinashe Stan (BUY “2 On”) July 21, 2014

    Samm is a fan of Tinashe while David is a hater lol. Tgj knows they need Tinashe.

    Tbh this wasn’t a great performance and I didn’t like what she was wearing. And to all of you haters expecting her to sing great while singing a song like 2 On are just stupid.

    And lastly, Tinashe isn’t your typical R&B singer. She brings in a whole Lotta different influences. Just listen to her mix tapes.

    • BaddieBey July 21, 2014

      TGJ needs Tinashe? Please explain this theory to me.

      • Fairy J Blige July 21, 2014

        It’s the other way round babe, Tinashe needs a blog like TGJ to get behind her. From when Ciara, Mary and Janet give them interviews why do you think it’s them who needs Tinashe?

    • 2ForTinashe July 21, 2014

      Sis. I wanna like you but you’re crazy if you don’t see why it’s important that Grape Juice supports her.

    • KeyshiaDelRey July 21, 2014

      Real talk hun take my advice. If you want people to like your fave you should saying things like TGJ knows they need her when the fact is that Tinashe needs TGJ. Home girl is not talented enough to sustain a career on her voice alone so she’s gonna need them or another blog as big as them to back her all the way.

  25. #TeamTinashe Stan (BUY “2 On”) July 21, 2014

    I laugh when a Saliva (Elijah) stan tries to promote their fave and it ain’t going nowhere just like his dissolved career! 🙂

    • OVOJenna July 21, 2014

      You’re laughing at Elijah but he can actually sing live.

      • NadiaMaraj July 21, 2014

        But Elijah…but Elijah can sing though.

      • the voice July 21, 2014

        Elijah has very little stage presence tho

        Janet and Britney cant sing but the have sold out stadiums b/ of STAGE PRESENCE.

        STAGE PRESENCE AND SWAGGER are the most important thing

        I agree with LA Reid… he once said Madonna isnt the best singer but he would have signed her b/c she can perform

        Tinashe need to just lip sing TV performances and just focus on KILLIN the dance moves with crazy energy.

  26. SexlijahBlake July 21, 2014

    This Tinashe fan must be Tinashe herself because she is DELUSIONAL! My fave can sing live and has never given a bad performance. Can you say the same about Tinotshit? Your fave is such a FLOP that not even David is here for here and that cat stans for Whora.
    Talent >>>> popularity so you better hope Tinashe learns to sing pronto boo boo.

    • CherylSoldierr July 21, 2014

      Who is he tho? Plenty of ppl sing well.

      • OVOJenna July 21, 2014

        Sweetie, as a Cheryl stan the last word that should come out of your mouth is “who.” Cheryl is so local she couldn’t book a mall appearance if her backing track depended on it.

      • CherylSoldierr July 21, 2014

        What the f*** is an ovojenna? LMAO. Not when cheryl is projected to achieve her fourth uk solo number one this week!! Death!

    • Alannah Alsina July 21, 2014

      True dat.

    • IggyLongstocking July 21, 2014

      But where is Cheryl? Has she ever charted outside of ITV studios or nah?

      • CherylSoldierr July 21, 2014

        Again, have iggys worldwide sales reached one fourth of Cheryl’s uk ones yet? Absolute death.

      • IggyLongstocking July 21, 2014

        Awww so i’m sure it must make you mad that Fancy has made more impact than all of Racist Cole’s singles and albums have put together. Tell me something sweety, has Chavryl punched any black women again recently?

      • CherylSoldierr July 21, 2014

        You didn’t answer my question. Have iggys worldwide Cheryl’s gotten to a fourth of Cheryl’s uk ones yet?

      • CherylSoldierr July 21, 2014

        Sales*

  27. Rihboy July 21, 2014

    This sing proves nothing about her vocal capability! I wont considered her talented just as yet. She is pretty. She can move! But she best stay within her lane. Who is rooting for mila j^^ she is an awful jhene aiko knock off. Tinashe seems like she is going to be a beywannabe. It will be fun to see how this plays out

    • Rihboy July 21, 2014

      Song

  28. CATFISH CAREY July 21, 2014

    CHERYLSOLIDER DRAG THAT THING

  29. AlexisAlsina July 21, 2014

    If I had to buy tickets to a show I would choose Elijah or Tinashe because one can sing and the other can’t. Sorry, facts are facts.

  30. Rihboy July 21, 2014

    I commented without watching the video. She is a vocal trainwreck. She isnt even ciara good. She on cassie level. My ears!!!

  31. QueenoftheNavy July 21, 2014

    I’m lowkey ashamed of myself for dissing all the Elijah threads after seeing this. Like on the f****** real, this girl cannot sing live at all.

  32. Dev July 21, 2014

    All i see is Ashanti lite 2014.
    The song ain’t even all that

  33. Special Delivery July 21, 2014

    Omg shes awful. Spare of these basic flops.

  34. Mimi Carey July 21, 2014

    Corny

  35. XXX July 21, 2014

    She has good stage presence but nothing memorble or unique.
    And the vocals were atrocious.

    • XXX July 21, 2014

      Memorable*

  36. Mark111 July 21, 2014

    “Beyoncé’s name is a tribute to her mother’s maiden name Beyincé.” = ghetto, made up name, no meaning.

    Tinashe, an African name. Means “God is with us” in Shona

    Aaliyah means Highest, Most Exalted, The Best in both Arabic and Hebrew

    I don’t care how French Beyonce sounds, it’s a made up name that sounds good, just like every other ghetto name. #CheckPlease #Done

    • Lolz July 21, 2014

      You tried. Its the same name as her mothers FRENCH maiden name. Just spelt differently. Its not ‘made up’.

    • Yazmine July 21, 2014

      Self drag. You just proved the name is not made up. Theres nothing ghetto about tributing your family line.

    • CherylSoldierr July 21, 2014

      Mark, sorry but you’re wrong here. It’s an English adaptation of a French name. There’s no difference between beyince and beyonce vs Jacques and jack. Jean vs john. Julien vs Julian. Arnaud vs Arnold. Etc. it’s not ‘ghetto.’ You don’t need to make up lies just because you don’t like beyonce.

      • CherylSoldierr July 21, 2014

        Pierre vs Pedro vs peter is another example of the differences between French, Spanish and English. It’s the same name though.

      • Yazmine July 21, 2014

        Bloop! I can’t stand uneducated morons who think they’re reading but actually just prove their own ignorance. Its not like Tina just woke up one day and said imma name ha SHAQUANDA because it sounds nice, it actually has sentiment behind it.

  37. Lolz July 21, 2014

    Since when was Solange a ghetto name? Someone needs to get out and mix more. Solange is very classy actually and Beyonce is her mothers maiden name. You failed. And as for Tinashe, she sucks.

    • Yazmine July 21, 2014

      #Death he clearly tried to read and failed.

  38. Yazmine July 21, 2014

    Hmmm I don’t see it for her personally. She has potential to sculpted but is pretty bland. Seen it all before. Good luck though.

  39. Yazmine July 21, 2014

    And @ Mark999 you might want to research properly first. Tina clearly states Beyonce derives from the fact that there were not enough males on her side of the family to carry the name further so it was very important to her to give her first born that name.

    • CherylSoldierr July 21, 2014

      It’s not even about that. Where he’s wrong is the fact that it’s an English adaptation of a French name. Him calling beyonce ghetto is like calling john ghetto. Jean vs john, beyince vs beyonce.

      • Yazmine July 21, 2014

        Yeah I get that aswell. But he also stated definitions next to the other flops names like a name has to have a literal ‘meaning’ for it not to be ghetto.

      • CherylSoldierr July 21, 2014

        Clock him girl lol

      • Mimi Carey July 22, 2014

        Beyonce is not a French name lmfao. Beyonce is a made up ass ghetto name

      • Yazmine July 22, 2014

        Someone cant read.

      • Jewel July 22, 2014

        @Mimi Carey how is it made up when its her mothers MAIDEN name spelt alternativley.

  40. Benji July 21, 2014

    Who?

  41. Teacher July 21, 2014

    Draaaag Mark! Beyonce is a ghetto name! Tina just added an O just like Beyonce adds a word or two in a song and thinks she came up w something original! Tina coulda kept that ghetto a.ss homemade name with them tired a.ss homemade House of Dereon designs!

    • Tyler July 21, 2014

      Not, as ghetto as your no good fave who runs around screaming “thug life” all damn day. Beyonce derive from Beyince, a French name. So its French, genius.

      • Tyler July 21, 2014

        *derives*

    • Yazmine July 22, 2014

      Oh look more dumb idiots.

  42. Jewel July 22, 2014

    Death @ the Hive clocking that Fart211 person

  43. AnthonyJerone July 22, 2014

    Whew! These shaky vocals! Who she have to sleep with?

  44. FACTS July 22, 2014

    Actually, her first televised performance or 2 on took place at this years BET awards pre-show.

    But hey, who cares about reporting accurate info,

    Lets put the amount of effort into the accuracy of our reporting as we do slandering Rihanna, ok TGJ?

  45. Everyone’s A Critic July 22, 2014

    WOAH! Them vocals deh! FIX IT JESUS

  46. Whogivesashyt May 2, 2016

    You people are so dumb. Arguing over beyonces name origin, and trying to prove a point like someone cares. STFU already and die.
