Mya "Liberation" Era

[jazzyskye10²]

T4P...Mya looks great.

[George]

Mya looks great.

I hope she gets back to "Chicago" soon.

[Hefty Hanna]

WOW MYA BE LOOKIN' ROUGH! Did you guys hear what she did in Barbados? No!? I'LL POST IT!

Mya was scheduled to host at a pretty major event in Barbados last night - the Celebrity Party @ Club NXS in St. Lawrence Gap. A few hundred people showed up, eager to give Mya some love. Now mind you, this is during the height of Crop-Over (carnival) season, with TONS of other events competing for attention that same night. Mya was not the only show in town by a long shot. But Miss Mya (who btw is an islandista by descent - I’m this close to revoking her credentials) was a no-show. It was not that she was not in the island. She was very much in the island, lounging at the Hilton Hotel, which was allegedly paid for by the Tourism Authority. But word filtered back that she ‘did not feel’ like coming out to the club, but just felt like ‘chilling in her room’.

Excuse you? So … you feel that this was just an all-expenses paid trip to Barbados just for the heck of it? Cos we like you that kinda way? Because you have not had a major hit since I was in secondary school … and I ent no young yam. According to Wikipedia (and every other black blog) you have not had a hit since 2003! Moreover, you have been ‘working on your album’ for the last 4 years. And you have allegedly been dropped from your label. Yet you feel you are big enough to buff Bajans? But who is you? Chick … we have RIHANNA - who by the way, has a hit on the charts RIGHT NOW - two actually!

Tiger Woods got married here. Oprah Winfrey allegedly has a house here. The Prince of England pops in every now and then for a vacay. Hugh Grant, Whitney Houston, Jigga and Beyonce, Paul Allen have all visited. I could list many more but you get the point. You are not the first, second or 5006th most famous person to ever land on this rock. So who do you really feel you are? What you did was not at all a good look for someone who has next to no career and is reduced to posing for every men’s magazine that will give you a bligh just to stay semi-relevant. It was insulting to the event promoters, to the club owners and to the people that actually eschewed other events to come out and see you.

Though to be frank, you were not that missed anyhow. People still partied hard - Strategy the Band was great and upcoming American RnB artiste Casely (he was on the BET Awards after-party show for reference) was a pocket rocket! I can see So Emotional becoming a club banger. But Mya? Tsk tsk… Um, no dahlin. You were paid to appear. And you damn lucky you were paid to appear at anything.



-smh- Mya, get yo act together! I miss those 'MLIL...W' days!

[controlfreak7]

And here's the reason why she didn't show

*Update: Hajjii Harrison (which is Mya’s father’s name, who is Jamaican, and her manager (just thought I’d clarify)) has left a comment here, stating:

“The promoters did not have the funds to pay the Artiste (s), so I directed Mya not to attend until she was paid in full - as agreed by all!

Hajji,
As Manager to Mya

[Hefty Hanna]

AH!

Wow! That's probably the most disrespectful thing anybody can do to an artist! Danity Kane wouldn't perform a recent show until they got paid too.

WORK THEM ARTISTIC RIGHTS, MYA!

Mya fails to show
Published on: 7/12/08.

by Kishmar Shepherd

IT WAS ADVERTISED as a "star-studded" event last Saturday night, hosted by international R&B singer Mya with several National Basketball Association (NBA) stars present.

It started on schedule but neither Mya nor the ballers showed up, much to the disappointment
of those who turned out at Club NXS in St Lawrence Gap, Christ Church.

Mya was also scheduled to conduct a motivational presentation for young Barbadian women at the Barbados Community College, also on Saturday. However, she did not show up there either.

Corporate communications consultant for the Barbados Tourism Authority (BTA) Chay Davis confirmed that the BTA did sponsor Mya's airfare and accommodation in Barbados, but was in no way involved with the celebrity party.

Davis added that the BTA sourced airline tickets and accommodation for a group of former NBA basketball players including Rafer Alson of the Houston Rockets, Kenny Anderson, former NBA player and coach of the CBA Atlanta Krunk, and Wali Jones, former player for the Miami Heat basketball team, as part
of generating awareness and diversifying the menu of activities for its sports tourism camp programme for 2009.

Davis said he contacted Craig Skilling of Skill Entertainment Group (SEG), a Florida-based entertainment company which had approached the BTA about bringing in Mya.

He added that Skill Entertainment Group were the organisers of the events and when he contacted him by telephone, Skilling apologised for Mya's non-appearance.

Skilling said the no-show was caused by a flight delay, which resulted in the cancellation of the proceedings. However, he explained that an alternative arrangement was made by SEG to have the young women meet Mya in her hotel lobby.
Responding to the no-show at the nightclub, Skilling stressed there was no obligation for Mya to attend the nightclub party.

"It would have been appreciated by the locals and myself if Mya had attended to simply celebrate with the group, but that was not the case and she was never obligated to attend,"
he said.

However, Antony Nadur, a director of Club NXS, said he was contacted by Skilling and asked to be the location of the Celebrity Party but he did not know why Mya did not show up.

^^^T4P...Glad thats cleared up. Its a shame how many sites were dissing Mya without even knowing the full story.

[calluout]

[Cooler than ever!]

I really wish she would get a new hairstyle. That shit makes her look old as hell.

[calluout]

[SAY IT RIGHT]

I like her hair.

[Rican@]

I do too. She has curly hair, what's wrong with that? I have curly hair too and I really want someone to tell me to do something about my hair because its not up to par for his or her liking.....

[OH SNAP!]

WTH did that article say?

[SHOOTER]

I think it's saying that Liberation was supposed to come out on Motown but it was shelved so Mya left the label and is now negotiating with Manhattan to establish her own label.

However, I thought she and LiveNation were working on a deal as well.
