While Beyonce can claim responsibility for earlier efforts made by Roc’s Rihanna and Rita Ora, her contemporary Ciara may find herself doing the same when introduced R&B newcomer Tinashe.
Undoubtedly inspired by the ‘Body Party’ chanteuse, the performer storms her genre’s crowded scene with a buzz that’s grown louder with every spin of new single ‘2 On’, produced by ‘Rack City’ maestro DJ Mustard.
So, ever eager to celebrate new talent, ‘Hot 97′ invited the singer to perform at their ‘Who’s Next’ showcase recently, putting her live skills to the test!
How she fared?
You tell us below…
Hit the 9.31 mark…
Umm.. No.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSS. THANK YOU DAVID.
You obviously don’t follow him on twitter. Homeboy just said he thinks her performances are basic iho.
Dont thank him. He just basically said she is Ciara’s love child…… Tinashe is Janet Jackson’s child but really different!
How disrespectful TGJ!
Looks like someone finally cut that check.
But she can’t sing for s***.

When she does ‘days in the west’ live shes just as good.
Think Cassie but she can sing.
Not David calling her performances basic on twitter.
Not ‘Ciara’ still not selling 200k.
Lol is all I have to say.
Co- sign on the ‘um… no’ tip, looks like someone is trying a little to hard to be on the controversy end, with the choice of clothing. #next
LOOOOOOOL.
I’m dissapointed that yall are even entertaining this wack b****.
Sis we don’t have to worry about a damn thing, Elijah, Sevyn and Rita will always be their faves.
I concur.
What was that?
The struggle to be s*** is real.
Who?
A poor man’s Ciara.
She’s the definition of basic, the way her stan talks s***, you’d think she’s all that. Bye Felicia.
So she finally got TGJ to cosign her. That’s cute, still doesn’t change the fact that she’s stiffer Nicki’s plastic booty.
Britney-level vocals aside, the song by Mapei (starts about 6:20) was fire. I hope a label puts some money behind it, b/c she’s got a hit on her hands.
TGJ helped to put Iggy on back in 2011 but she made it to the top by herself because she’s a dope artist and is the best female rapper out now hands down. I don’t know what they can do to help this Mila J wannabe tho.
The first part of your comment is true, but the second half is faker than Iggy’s accent so stop.
Does anyone else feel bad for dragging their Elijah Blake threads, like HE can actually sing.
I listened to one of her mixtapes recently, and thought hmmm this is actually good… but what I just saw above compared to what I’d heard mixtape, jeez you would think they are two different artists.
what I’d heard on her mixtape*
She just seems to smell of payola to me. I hear basic vocals and see basic, overtrained dancing.
Not appealing…..
If I see one more light skinned or mixed black girl with mediocre talent I’m going to scream!!!! Give us more variety and some oustanding talent. Sorry … Not sorry!
******
Where’s that Tinashe troll thats always stalking the talented singers.. Lucy, you got some explaining to do.
Azalea banks could have broken that mold, but she fell into trap and set dark skin women back 50 years.
Who? What? When? Where? Why???
All the record labels trying to capitalize off the Beyonce and Rihanna impact. The thing is Bey is Super talented!!! And Rih is unique with star quality. The Jhene, Tinashe, insert random new chick don’t measure up.
Dry
She’s cute and can dance great. Still gives me low budget tease tho. She’s prettier than rihanna and bey tbh, so I don’t see why she can’t be successful. She’ll never be a singer.
Lol yeah ok.
She’s definitely prettier than rih, no shade. Rih looks good because of her style team. Did you see her at the beginning of her career? Scream
Lol she is not prettier than B, Rihanna, and etc. She is basic. She will have the same success that Cheryl has in the USA.
Also, low budget is a self read
If you knew absolutely anything about cheryl, I would take your post seriously. She literally has the most promo out of any pop star in the uk, so try again. Your favs also stan for her. And yes, tinashe is more naturally pretty than rihanna.
If she has no promo outside of her own country, that would label her what she is… LOCAL. If you find a video of Tina Turner or Sade stanning for Cherry, please contact me with the link. Also, naturally prettier is a huge reach considering Tino has 66 lbs. of makeup on her face and the stitches around her nose scream surgery.
And Rihanna doesn’t wear color contacts.
Rihanna in 2005? Death. And no babe, not you backtracking on cheryl. Your CURRENT favs both stan hard for cheryl. She’s literally the most popular pop star in the uk, so don’t you ever call her low budget. It just proves how delusional you are. Tinashe looks the same as when she was on two and a half men when she was a teenager, so stop being a bitter b**** and give props where they’re due.
Please stop exaggerating. Im from the UK and Cheryl is not the most popular.
One direction, Ellie Goulding, Ed Sheeran and Adele are just a few who s*** on her.
Death. Are you serious?
Not her literally being voted the most influential British woman style icon by the British public though! Screams!!
So? Shall we talk about some of the others achievments in MUSIC that s*** on Cheryls since we’re talking POP MUSIC STARS not fashion.
And yes I am dead serious.
If your dumb a** could read, you would see that this was about Cheryl’s STAR POWER. She is not low budget. She is a mega star in the uk and no one can dispute that. Your thirsty, hating a** is f****** dismissed.
Tinahse and Becky G are outselling Rita WHORA without the promo and fashion. EVEN 5TH harmony are outselling her. LOL LOL What a flop. Don’t u dare compare this girl to Rih, There is no way she will blow up on the level of Rih. No one will. Not any of the girls that are signed.
Talking of Rih, she is now in BTAZIL as part of VIP guest of Budwesier. She will do a Facebook interview , tonite. LOL bite that, hater.
American artists doing well in their domestic market? How is that shade? Rita has 4 number 1s and a number one album in her domestic market.
Most domestic artist are not billed as the ONE TO END A STAR like RIHANNA, which ended being RITA’S downfall. They should never err have DARED compared Rita to Rihanna.
RITA sales in the UK are not that great.
Rita should have just stayed in her lane, in the way Cheryl cole does.But, Rita, her team and stand came to USA like she was gonna run s*** and shut down careers. The only career that go shut down is her own.
I like many UK artist but it is a small market unless u are Emile Sande or Adele … i dont know…
i dont see Rita making it in the US.
They will force her music on payola radio… but she wont sell out arenas here.
BTW, at least Tinashe can dance… Rita is boring
Sam,
She maybe be basic, but her debut song peaked at 35 in the USA AND THAT IS BETTER THAN ANYTHING RITA WHORA HAS DONE WILL HER MILLION DOLLAR PROMOTION. I mean Tinahse has not even done TV or POP radio and she outsells RITA. It proves even more that she sleeps with people for endorsement deals and such.
he song has peaked at number 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 53 on the UK Singles Chart. As of May 6, 2014, “2 On” has sold 65,000 downloads in the US.[4]

I can see Tinashe us gonna be the new Rihanna of this blog, they are gonna shade her because she gettin more shine then some of their favs.
*is
When her wack, lypsyncing ass opened up for Schoolboy Q.. and how she struggles to sing & dance at the same time.
Eh, ok. She is just like EVERY OTHER GIRL out there right now trying to get in this demonic industry. No shade, but I thought she would have it the way her Stan goes around shading everyone. Her vocals are thinner than an iPhone, her look is identical to every “pretty” girl out there, and her dancing OBVIOUSLY doesn’t come natural. She’s mediocre. If she becomes successful, it just shows any basic chick can make it. This is the reason that everyone are flops, the market is so over saturated with trained ‘stars,’ not born superstars. #ImDone
LMAO your name says it all. You stan for Queen Tinashe!!!!!
Welcome to #TeamTinashe #SweeTees
But the ones hating are the same ones that have this song on their playlist. The same ones that clicked on the post, forwarded it to the performance and watched it in order to critique it… Must have sparked some interest. #Justsaying
Actually the song is descent but I’ve watched her live and she sounds nothing like her studio vocals
Well she didn’t really sing anything live; only talked through it. Props for dancing tho.
YESS!!!!!!! Bishes. Although 2 On doesn’t need aided help lol.
DEAD!!!!
DEAD as the implanted a** your fave has.
LMFAO!! When Nicki tries whine like she’s HOT ‘FAIL’ lmao.
Enough Onika doesn’t even like Nicki. You tried and failed.
I don’t understand cause she CAN sing. Why she choose to NOT sing LIVE beats me. I still to this day haven’t heard Mila J sing LIVE. So far I like Sevyn, she’s the leader of this new pack so far.
Not bad.

Tinashe’s cool.I hope she will become huge one day.
I said this when I saw 2 on vidoe she is serving Ciaraa!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lmao!Serving in what way?The stale TWERK she did?Or the extra she put into every move that made it look like she was trying hard?Nothin complex about the choreo and the vocals were ok.Stop it.
