It all boils down to records and she need classic records to even be in the conversation.
As fukk boy LA Reid said "It all starts with the song."
2 On was a record to get on the radio and in the club but it is forgettable. I can't draw up what it sounds like in my mind. I remember the name because a commentator mentioned it. I would love to work with her and create those classic records, though. Her voice is mediocre compared to great singers but great in comparison to current times.
The best singer of recent shocker.... is
TAMAR BRAXTON. I do not like her records but no one out including Beyonce can outsing her.
It also relys on your label putting out the songs that you do best and giving the public a chance to decide if those songs are classic....being that her label just wants to put out the typical song thats supposed to be a hit,verses what her best work is its hard to say its her fault.
Labels have no vision these days,instead of creating a new lane theyd rather be safe and make a quick buck by riding whatever wave is popular at the moment.
And Tamar Braxton homie?ol girl is like 40 years old and been around a while....shes not really of this era,she is of the era where you had to sing...shes run of the mil in her own era where people went to church and learned how to sing though
and Tinashe is bad but badder than Janet
...poetic justice era janet with those braids
...it dont get no badder than that,how can you navigate between girl next door look and straight freak so effortlessly and lose no appeal either way like Janet did?janet could pull off both convincingly at a high level
