Watch: Tamar Braxton Rocks ‘Dancing With The Stars’ With Janet Jackson’s ‘Rhythm Nation’

Published: Tuesday 20th Oct 2015 by Sam

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

    • maurice October 20, 2015

      PHACK… she really slayed.
      I never knew she could dance until she came on dwts.
      Yes, Tamar!

    • Leah October 20, 2015

      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.

      • Mary Mary Why You Buggin’ October 20, 2015

        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.

    • You tried October 20, 2015

      Good for Tamar she is killing DWTS’s I think she will win

    • sleazy October 20, 2015

      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*

  2. Cough Cough October 20, 2015

    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.

    • Melissa October 20, 2015

      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?

      • B**** I Can’t Even Spell Welfare October 20, 2015

        Like, for real! TGJ went from support to shade overnight. Spill the tea.

      • Ariana’s Grand October 20, 2015

        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.

    • ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) October 20, 2015

      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).

  3. truth(Janet is QWEEN, MaDINOSAUR is a flop! Deal!) October 20, 2015

    Yaaaasssss bish yaaassss!!! When will CiCi honey?? ????

  4. B**** I Can’t Even Spell Welfare October 20, 2015

    Yaaasss Tamar! Gimme what I need!

    • truth(Janet is QWEEN, MaDINOSAUR is a flop! Deal!) October 20, 2015

      U need a man!!

  5. Dev October 20, 2015

    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

    • Jay October 20, 2015

      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.

  6. Lmfao_Hoe October 20, 2015

    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.

  7. Holy fivenity October 20, 2015

    Ya’ll are obsessed with Ci
    .

      LMFAOOOOOO

  8. Holy fivenity October 20, 2015

    @mourice yaaas she can dance…. Everyone can dance except RiRi

  9. What now October 20, 2015

    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.

    • Holy fivenity October 20, 2015

      If you wan’t real journalism go to Delbey’s blog with 20 or less readers

      • What now October 20, 2015

      • What now October 20, 2015

        Trust muah, I know.

    • red wine October 20, 2015

  10. What now October 20, 2015

    She did great. I ain’t going to shade the girl. I did enough shading yesterday. Slay Tariah Knowles-Braxton

  11. S****** Blonde October 20, 2015

    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.

    • Career Ender October 20, 2015

      include “MDNA” ” REBEL HEART” “TTT” AND “LOUD”

  12. Naomi’s Edges October 20, 2015

      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?

  18. ❤Queen Molly❤ October 20, 2015

    Cute… But why is Ciara being brought up?

  19. 1mcluver October 20, 2015

    Better than that EBT “tribute”…

  21. Royalkev October 20, 2015

    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!

    • Anastasia Beaverhousen (aka T.I.T.S.) October 20, 2015

      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!

  22. King Mark111 /.\ October 20, 2015

    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.

  23. stop October 20, 2015

    Ciara sit your 30 year old b*** down. Great job Tamar!

  24. cocobutta October 20, 2015

    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.
