It is a travesty that she is still under 400k sold. This era started out so meticulous and planned and then spiraled into a clusterfuck.

I didn't like that performance at all. She was off key at times.

LMAO @ that national anthem performance. Talk about over-singing. That reminded me of Debra Wilson when she would impersonate Whitney or Mariah on MadTV.

She has sounded great in all the clips I've seen of the tour... Her dancing is pretty terrible, though.

Tamar Braxton brings TV to reality with ‘Love and War Tour’ Tamar Braxton performs at the "Love and War Tour" at the House of Blues, in Orlando, Florida, on May 18 2014. (Ty Wright / Valencia Voice) By Ty Wright, twright@valenciavoice.com May 19, 2014 LAKE BUENA VISTA ー What better way to end the week then with a packed grown and sexy party. “We are at the BBQ right?” asked DJ Slym, host of the event, as he warmed up the House of Blues crowd Sunday night for the “Love and War Tour.” DJ Slym, the official Dj for Orlando rapper Caskey, entertained the crowd for nearly 45-minutes before Tamar Braxton hit the stage. With an extensive Dj mix, that blended an array of old school jams with new class ratchet club bangers, he kept the mainly “25 and older” crowd dancing ー whether it be shuffling, the electric slide and of course twerking. Mrs. Braxton would carry that energy right over into the first song of her performance. Following the curtain opening, the audience was welcomed by a choreographed dance session by the singers animated backing staff, to go along with a rotating video reel displaying highlights from the singer’s reality TV shows. The woman of the hour would be revealed as uptempo track “She Did That” would come to an end, and the screen would reach its back with her waiting patiently on it. Related Stories “What’s up Tamartian fans?” Braxton shouted during uptempo banger “The One,” of her Grammy Nominated album “Love and War,” before breaking into a “Single Ladies” like dance with female dancers to “Tip Toe.” The youngest of the Braxton sisters told us earlier in the week that she only has one project in which she would perform songs off, so how would the flamboyant artist keep the crowd engaged and remain original was a big question for me going into the night. Not three-songs into the set, Mrs. Braxton would answer that question. Her being herself was the best source of entertainment you could from the artist. “You’re not going to like me for me, so I’m just going to be fabulous and you are just going to have to eat it,” stated the artist in one of her neck-rolling, wig-flinging, lip-smacking, in your face, over-the-top, keeping it “100” commentary sessions. Everything one would expect from a diva. While the 37-year-old artist did not disappoint on the vocal side of the performance — and songs like “White Candle,” “Pieces” and “Stay and Fight” helped showed her range and draw great amount of applause from the audience — it was her presentation leading up to each song which really seem to connect with her Tamartian fans. For a good session of the show, Mrs. Braxton sat on a bar stool and walked everyone through the story of how her and her husband,”Teddy Ruxpin,” got to where they are now, bringing WE tv’s “Tamar and Vince” to front stage. From teaching women how to get, keep and please a man; to encouraging everyone to follow their dreams; as well as a quick twerk lesson during “Hot Sugar,” Mrs. Braxton provided not only an entertaining musical experience but also life-changing advice. Prior to getting into the Tamartian national anthem “Love and War,” Mrs Braxton would channel her inner “Yeezus,” in a long-winded speech where she would go on to thank thank acts John Legend and R. Kelly (who she has toured with in the past) for giving her the opportunity to shine. “They helped make my dreams come true! So tonight, on this stage, I’m going to make your dreams come true,” said the singer before she hand picked four Tamartians to help her close out the night. From multiple outfit changes, “Chippendales”-esque strip tease during intermission, and outrageously witty commentary, Tamar Braxton’s first national headlining tour solidifies that the she is truly entertaining and what we see from her on TV is truly who she is. However, it does leave speculation on whether this tour is to promote Tamar’s other business endeavors or give “Love and War,” the album, one last push. Incorporating no live band, DJ, or backing singers to give the songs a new feel, the diva is relying solely on the things that got her to this point to succeed. And that’s her sass, amazing voice and willingness to say say what ever comes to her mind without holding back. linkHere is a recap of her opening night in miami:

Man, I really wish I could go see her in concert. But her LA show is the exact same day as the Toni Braxton/Babyface concert in my city (San Diego)!

Stay & Fight + Pieces. Just blissful music. I hope her next album is more in the vein of those songs & her singles.

I wish they gave us little update on her third album. I'm really looking forward to it, hopefully it has as little filler as possible.

www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-juice/6106387/tamar-braxton-talks-new-album-motherhood-braxton-family-valuesTamar Braxton Talks New Album, Motherhood & 'Braxton Family Values' Show (Exclusive) By Gary Graff | June 02, 2014 12:02 PM EDT A busy reality TV show schedule -- with, count 'em, three programs -- isn't keeping Tamar Braxton out of the studio. The youngest member of the singing Braxton family tells Billboard she's "more than thinking about" her follow-up to 2012's "Love and War," which debuted at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart in September and No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and received three Grammy Award nominations. "We've actually started recording some (songs) already, and I'm really excited about it," Braxton reports. "I've written about maybe 10 or 12 song, and I really, really love four of them. I have a set-up on my (tour) bus, and if I come up with ideas I just write them right there. We're right in the beginning stages of it, but I'm really enjoying the material we're starting to do."
Like "Love and War," Braxton says the new songs will reflect her state of mind at the time of writing. "Right now I'm in a place where I'm really happy, and sometimes I'm overwhelmed, but at the end of the day I'm just trying to balance it all and understand myself as a woman," she explains. "So those are the songs I'm writing right now, but I can't say whether that's going to be the end result."
She hasn't yet chosen producers to work with, though Braxton says Pharrell Williams is on top of the wish list, and she hopes to get started in earnest in July, after her July 6 performance at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans completes her tour in support of "Love and War." At the same time Braxton jumps back onto the talk show "The Real," which she describes as "like girlfriend happy hour. It's so fun. The girls and I, we really have a great relationship. We don't agree on everything, but we agree to disagree. Sometimes it gets a little dramatic because everybody believes in what they believe in and what they think, and everybody wants to get their own opinions across. But just expect to have a good time and talk about things that you know people want to hear about -- entertainment, relationships, fashion and things like that." Braxton is also in the midst of the fourth season of "Braxton Family Values," which she promises will continue "the constant battle of being sisters and trying to find our ways in our lives. Everyone is another now and it's totally different for us. We're jsut trying to mend the broken fences that happened last season between the sisters." On the third season of "Tamar & Vince," meanwhile, viewers will "get to see my life on the road and how I balance all the things I'm involved in, and have some good-times in between," with plenty of presence for the couple`s year-old son Logan Vincent Herbert. "Motherhood is the best thing that every happened to me," Braxton says. "It kind of puts everything into perspective. There's time to work, there's time to be a wife and there's time to be a mother, and that's what comes first to me. If Logan is sick or if he needs anything, I stop everything and tend to him and make sure he's taken care of before anything else gets handled."

Ugh. Is something wrong with her voice again? I have tickets to see her this weekend, and I was looking at some of these recent performances, and she's been doing some pretty obvious lipping on some of these songs.

Tamar should have known better I mean, I love the woman but she is the most sensitive bitch in the world. Whenever someone makes a single damn joke on Logan on Social Media, she gets all butthurt over it and spends the whole day mad about it on the web. So she should by now KNOW what she should or not say on the record, I mean, bitch is already and easy target, this way she's making it extra easy

I hope she does work with Pharrell on the new album. I would love if he gave her a throwback disco-funk uptempo; I've wanted to hear a jam like that from Tamar ever since her (awesome) performance of "Upside Down" at the BET Honors earlier this year.
