I understand the pressure of being an "extra" in the life of a celebrity sibling (Solange/Beyonce comes to mind), but why does she think she's owed the spotlight? Of course, people are going to flock to Toni. She's the damn star.

Oh, and the .com/.net/.org/point-blank-period shit is making me want to pull my (non-existent) hair out :mad:

Tamar did a decent performance for Soul Train Awards. :)

I just looked it up on Youtube and she did sound good :)

One of the "Related videos" was her singing Un-break My Heart on the boat. That made me crack up when I first saw it LOL

I think in the most recent episode, Toni may have admitted that she thinks Tamar is the better singer.

Why on Earth would Trina talk about her sex around Momma Braxton? :eek:

Ohh, OK. I am on episode 3, so there's still a lot I need to catch up on haha

Even if she is a better singer, Toni is the one who is famous. The Braxtons (and this show) probably wouldn't be known right now if it weren't for her.

I agree with that and also understand why Tamar has resentment.

Ditto.

I always knew about the Braxtons and that they were talented singers and performers. But many people are just discovering her sisters because of Braxton Family Values. The Braxtons existed before Toni Braxton was a solo singing sensation. When she made it big, they were her backup singers and in the back of some of her videos. That can breed sibling rivalry because you help someone get ahead and then you're always behind them.

I think that's where the resentment comes from.

Watching the show, Tamar might seem resentful, but I think Traci is moreso than anyone else (like, she has an inferiority complex because she isn't a Toni or Tamar and has lived a "regular" life.)

Tamar has an "everybody always picks on me" complex, too. Is that a "baby of 5 kids" thing? (can't relate as I'm the oldest.)

LOL @ the new episode.

They completely jacked up Toni Braxton's tribute.

On another note, I really want to wash all of that make-up off of their faces. They wear too much makeup. It makes them look old and worn.

KSUViolet06 01-19-2012 11:27 PM

^^^Tribute fail.

DrPhil 01-19-2012 11:32 PM

Tamar's boots = boots fail

Tamar's hair, makeup, and outfit = fail, fail, fail
