Talented and outspoken, Tamar Braxton can now add good sport to her list of characteristics.
Janet Jackson bested her on last week’s album tally when her ‘Unbreakable’ album sold three times as much as Braxton’s latest effort ‘Calling All Lovers.’
However, the youngest of the Braxton clan proved that there were no hard feelings on last night’s ‘Dancing With The Stars.’
For, along with partner Val Chmerkovskiy, the singer recreated Jackson’s iconic ‘Rhythm Nation’ video live on stage.
Watch Tamar burn it up in 5, 4, 3, 2…1…
Cute.
Great to see Tamar really throwing herself into the the mix of the competition. Granted 8-counts aren’t really her speciality area, it was quite refreshing seeing her tackle such a technical style of dance.

she slayed she could’ve replaced cierror
PHACK… she really slayed.
I never knew she could dance until she came on dwts.
Yes, Tamar!
AGAIN, the world needs to hear SIMPLE THINGS, stop wasting time Tamar and finally release the single.
SIMPLE THINGS will make Tamar into a SUPERSTAR, why is she wasting time.
Honey, your marketing staff needs to be fired. Simple things should have been serviced to radio. Why spend money on that stupid fluff Angels and Demons when you have SIMPLE THINGS or Broken Record with is the best record Mariah Carey copy i’ve ever seen.
I think you may be overestimating the power of ‘Simple Things’ a tad bit. If ‘Love and War’ didn’t make Tamar a superstar, nothing will. I don’t say that as I negative. I love her but R & B singers are not becoming superstars in 2015, regardless of how talented you are, how great your songs are, and how great your voice is. Not happening.
And ‘Angels and Demons’ is a flawless song. Love Broken Record too.
Good for Tamar she is killing DWTS’s I think she will win
lol really? ciara slayed and always will. is the hate that real you wint even give the girl credit? tamar really? You tried it *tamar voice*
So you report on literally everything single other thing about Tamar, except her actual album. That is really sad. Didn’t she give your tacky, poor taste blog a concert even when she was hoarse? Sad.
Rarely comment but I **heard** there’s some drama with Tamar and TGJ. I notice they don’t follow each other anymore and they did during that acoustic she did with them last year I think it was.
I hope whatever it is gets sorted. Looking at Tay’s sales, she needs every outlet hollering about her dope ass album.
I noticed a couple months ago that they don’t post about her like they used to. What’s the tea Sam, David, Rashad?
Like, for real! TGJ went from support to shade overnight. Spill the tea.
They supported her when no other blog would and then she blocked them on Twitter after they reported about something she did. I guess they were hurt because they bent over backwards to make her seem like she was popping. It’s no coincidence that her sales look the way they do now they’ve stopped supporting her.
Tamar so got d*mn sensitive with her big a*s mouth. She can’t talk about everybody and they d*mn mama under the sun but want cry wolf when someone clap back at her ass. She can’t handle the TRUTH about herself, which is when she goes into victim mode (see K Michelle vs Muppet Tamar).
Yaaaasssss bish yaaassss!!! When will CiCi honey?? ????
Yaaasss Tamar! Gimme what I need!
U need a man!!
Dutch TV show Dance Dance Dance did it better, one month ago:

Sorry, although good and the fact that she got 10’s i didn’t think that it was that sharp in deliverance.
I’m glad to see her dancing an will maybe use some of these moves to give a rhumba/sSalsa inspired video for must be good to you which is still my favourite track
But you have to realize she’s not technically a dancer to begin with, so to do do a cover of Rhythm Nation & actually pull it off with a decent delivery is pretty damn good.

Kiiiiiiii
Yes Tamar that’s what I’m talking about. Damn I never knew she could dance. Maybe she needs to get to making some dance type R&B songs and give life to the stage. She’s a good singer now she needs to commend a stage performance.
Ya’ll are obsessed with Ci
.
You wake up CIARA
post up CIARA
…….
I woke up like this CIARA
LMFAOOOOOO
@mourice yaaas she can dance…. Everyone can dance except RiRi
KIIIII! TGJ strayed away from D & C-list celebs like Tamar bc TGJ started feeling their selves. They thought by now that Rihanna, Mariah, & Madonna would be begging them for interviews to stop the bias Queen “journalism”. They even hired David (a Def Jam employee) in hopes of reaching higher ground. They broke off certain connections bc of their egos and they now can’t get a Tamar interview so they stay in their feelings, write one sided articles, and continue programming commentators with the Beyoncè vs Rihanna b******* just to make ends meet. I understand it tho. Its mighty mean n these streets.
If you wan’t real journalism go to Delbey’s blog with 20 or less readers
Gurl I ain’t complaining. I live for the shade! (Prince Legend Panel voice)
David has worked at TGJ since 2011 dear.
Trust muah, I know.
lol you just read them for filth
She did great. I ain’t going to shade the girl. I did enough shading yesterday. Slay Tariah Knowles-Braxton
Janet’s “Rhythm Nation 1814” is one of the best pop records all of time, a very diverse, yet cohesive album, forget “Born this Way”, “1989” and “Teenage Dream”, pop stars used to be great, the new generation makes pop music sound like cartoon theme songs.
include “MDNA” ” REBEL HEART” “TTT” AND “LOUD”
This was really good Tamar !
Very impressive, work it out Tamar.
She did that, #slaytay
That was hott! Tamar did a great job tributing Queen Janet!
#WorkBitch ????
I have to say I liked it alot this was better then that mess of a dance tribute that BET put together thumbs up Tamar you and your dance partner slayed.
That BET put together for Janet.
I’m glad I don’t know any song nor video from this so called “Rhythm nation” album
.
bedore you jigsaws come for me, growing up in SA the popular stars on radio and tv where Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, R.Kelly, Whitney and MJ
.
bye mama jigsaw!
So Called ‘Rhythm Nation’ album? One of the most important pop masterpieces EVER produced? Bye.
And you’re glad you don’t know it when she provided the blueprint for Ciara’s entire career. Why exactly are you proud of this again?
Cute… But why is Ciara being brought up?
okay after this post, I’m done coming on TGJ, Which is sad, because I’m a big fan, and i come here everyday, i like the shade don’t get me wrong, but david is pathetic and so is everybody working on this sorry ass blog, tamar let you guys interview her and even performed for this SORRRY ASSS BLOG and she did all her obligations for you to just mention her or promote at least one single!!! david your a sorry ass excuse for a human being and your miserable as hell, your jealousy, envy and misery will crash this blog to the ground. good luck
B**** bye! Ho’s always want to announce when they are leaving! B**** JUST PACK WHATS LEFT OF YOUR EDGES AND GO! Go scratch your p**** and read about Tamar bald edges somewhere else cause TGJ won’t lose money from you not coming back! You are now dismissed!
try NOT to sound illiterate, I’m not black nor do i have edges, come up with something better CHILD. and i hope your sitting because if you weren’t ill tell you to have all the seats in the world, david or tgj aint paying why you that frustrated?
Better than that EBT “tribute”…
Tay’s got a lot of heart! She’s really determine to give her all when she goes after something! I appreciate that. She’s slowly stepping out of Toni’s shadow and coming into her own these days!
Hey Kev! Im sorry I missed you on the other post. Thanks for the song dedication! Lol! ????
Also for the compliment on my avi. Yours is still the ish too boo boo!
#MYM
She was a count or two slower, but everyne was in sync and that’s the only way you’re going to come close to a Janet performance. SOMEONE at the BET Awards was off beat, throwing the whole show off.
.
I will go as far to say Janet has the BEST discography in pop music. From Control to All For You. Even Jo and Discipline were good. 20YO theme was a celebration and her having fun. Janet was the first to be able to jump across genres with ease.
Ciara sit your 30 year old b*** down. Great job Tamar!
Come on TGJ should only do so much considering how Tay didn’t want the episode of the Splash she recorded with them to be released. There’s history and not one sided. What I will add is that type Tamar name in search and theres no lacking of posts.
Granted could have showed. Album release week bit more love BUT when the LEGEND Janet Jackson is same week I know who my focus would be on. Just made sense. Wrong timing for Tamar that week.
