Tamar Braxton, as reported, will be unleashing her third studio album onto the masses this April.
Never one to rest on her laurels, the singer, reality star, and talk show host is already hard on the promo trail for the as yet untitled set – which follows 2013’s ‘Love & War’.
The 37-year old was tapped to open for Maze and Frankie Beverly in Atlanta recently and used to slot to perform new material from her project.
Watch her belt lead single ‘Let Me Know’ live below…
That was…interesting.
The “good” lay in the fact that Tamar’s stage presence has improved ten-fold and she oozes an effortless divadom. Put simply, she puts on a “show”.
However, the vocals – while solid for the most part – were pancake flat when that bridge kicked in. All the belting and whistling may seem awesome on the surface, yet it was clear to the ear that there wasn’t much control.
That said, Tamar boasts a vocal range and skill-set that many of her contemporaries could only dream of. As such, with the right tweaking, future performances could easily be better.
Truth be told, if it’s a “show” she’s keen to give, then we’re all for her just lipping the song’s climax so as to provide a more polished product.
Because, while we believe in pushing oneself to be the best live, the top performers of today enjoy such status because they are tactile enough to know when to employ momentary smoke and mirrors to deliver premium performances.
Just saying.

Oh wow at that ending
Tamar for ONE is VERY TALENTED SHE “BOAST” more talent in one song than most of the overrAted ARTIST IF TODAYs whole career! Her inspiration is very CLEAR lol no shade a lot of things she do when she performs looks soooooo familiar ! But I like TamAr and I SUPPORT REAL TALENT AND SHE HAS IT! These haters are soooo PRESSED THO! This girl can SANGGGGG
And this is why Toni is the Superstar!
Girl please a “Show” this is NOT!!!
But she CAN sang honey
Looks like one of those Beyonce tributes performed by drag queens at a strip joint… Not a good look :/
She can’t sing live and looks like she stole that outfit from the Beyoncé experience lol
Tamar sounds better than Beyonce tho
You wish in your dream hater
Rima u too funny! gurlbye
Guuuurll! You’re not a perfofmer
Oop she TRIED it
Tamar slays Bey Lana and Rih. I know yall mad but its the truth
uuuuuuum that whistle not sounded a hot mess! lol
Alomost sounded like an off prerecorded track was played cause it was way louder than her mic.
Other than that it wasnt bad
YAAAASSSSS!!!!
I like Tamar but I’ve always thought she struggles singing live. Sometimes she’s on, sometimes she’s off. Lord, that whistle at the end was so jarring; I thought glass was about to shatter! Come on Tamar, I know you can do better!
LMAO! That audience was so disinterested! Flat,trying too hard,awkward vocal flourishes,random dance movement! Beyonce’s performances during the DIL era>Tamar at her best! Tamar fans swears she is this huge star, while love and war is stuck at 399,450 in the Us and less than 100,000 in world sells…
Well, the song is average and lackluster, so the performance would logically follow suit. The whistle note at the end, though.
I’m a fan of Tamar d ending on the day. But she needs to stop trying recreate Beyoncé’s Verizon Ladies First Tour from 2004.
*depending
She’s actually singing Live.
Wish she wouldn’t
She….overFUCKNtries hunty!! BYE!!!
She’s nothing but a Kelly Rowland / Beyonce wannabe. Sorry Not Sorry
I thought she was running around calling this a promo single now due to the floppage?
Interesting…
The performance was kind of lazy but that doesn’t take away from Tamar’s potential and talent.
I’m sorry it’s performances like this that turn me away from her I’ve always hated singers with “The Struggle” range always trying to prove they can sing soprano I’m actually quite done with her talents “The Struggle Is Real!!”
Toni you know I love you.
Chawld….. These comments…. I wont even bother! LMAO
That high note is really annoying. When you listen to Mariah, Chante, Minnie the notes are smooth, but Tamar’s is just a screech like she’s singing and someone grabbed her throat.
For everyone who thinks that Tamar whistle notes are fake really need to go listen to her first album! Nothing about her Vocals are fake or manufactured,she has a very beautiful voice that majority of the artist that are out don’t have,and she has great talent!Tamar is also one of the artist that is bringing back Real R&B,Real Singing,Real Vocals,and Great Music!!
