Top 5 Reasons To Be A Tamartian

Top 5 Reasons To Be A Tamartian

People have been joining the Tamartian team left and right. And it’s evident, Tamar won’t stop until we get our “entire life!”

1. We have had “several seats” on the couch, watching her reality shows!

Tamar Braxton has escaped far beyond the shadow, once cast by her superstar sis, Toni, for quite some time now. You first fell in love with her no-filter attitude on the hit WE TV show, Braxton Family Values. And we got to know her even better on Tamar & Vince. But we soon learned she’s much more than a reality TV star.

2. “You tried it,” but you couldn’t quite hit her notes.

Tamar says she admires Mariah Carey’s vocal range, and it shows. This three-time Grammy nominated artist can’t stop making hits. From Love And War, to Let Me Know, to her latest hit, If I Don’t Have You. She finds herself continuously “Calling All Lovers” with her music, as her new album is fittingly titled.

3. She has no filter, but plenty of shade on The Real Talk Show.

Yep, she’s the co-host to watch. Always keeping it 100 on the hit BET show. Her unpredictable comments are no different than her music, we can’t wait to hear more.

4. “She, me, her” fashion line, “Tamar Collection,” is on fleek.

Did you know the fashionista has a stylish, quality-fashion line that is also extremely affordable? You can grab her “Tamartians Unite” shirt for only $4.99, and officially rep your title. [Click on your favorite below.]

5. She’s got range, she’s got fame, and now she’s got moves – “dot com.”

Just when you thought she would have enough on her plate, Tamar recently announced her newest venture on the hit show, Dancing With The Stars. It’s no secret, she’s a pro at being a “do-op pop pop girl,” but now she’s going to have to tango with the ballroom pros, and we can’t wait to see her do it!

Live It On The Dance Floor & In Real Life! – Where are the Abandoned Dancers?

Live It On The Dance Floor & IN REAL LIFE! – Where are the Abandoned Dancers?

It’s no secret that Abby has her favorites when it comes to her “team” of young dancers. Famously excluding Chloe, sisters Paige and Brooke, and now Nia. The group of girls get smaller and smaller by the season. But does that mean that the success of those abandoned dancers shrunk as well? 

Chloe!

If you follow Chloe on social media, you already know how much traveling she and her mother have been doing to promote Chloe’s career. Remember, although Maddie has made a name for herself in Sia’s videos, Chloe was the first dancer of the team to be featured in Lux’s “It’s Like Summer” music video, which aired Season 1.

In another video, “Love is Blindness,” Chloe has a similar role as Maddie did in Sia’s “Elastic Heart” video, where her dramatic dancing exemplifies a deeper artistic message. She is now onto yet another music video project with musician Jess Godwin.

Paige and Brooke…

are traveling the world and making appearances like Chloe, but have also spent a good amount of time focusing on school and connecting with fans through social media. As you can see, Brooke has a boyfriend who seems to be dazzled by her beauty in that mint Sherri Hill number, which Brooke says is one her favorite designers.




#NiaTakeover

And last but not least, the only original dance member on the team who is still waiting for Abby’s attention: Nia. But if you watched the latest episode of the Australia trip, neglect has not kept Nia from  being a star in her own life, as her newest song reflectively says. Since Abby left her and Jojo out of the ASTRA Awards gig, Nia put on a show of her own, and the packed audience was hype to see her perform.

And in comparison to Kendall and Mack Z’s musical sound, Nia’s song has a more main stream/pop feel to it. In her video, the music is coupled with striking and edgy dance moves, similar to Janet Jackson-style choreography. I must say, as a singer myself, her range is much more marketable. Her vocal ability can easily be compared to 33 year old singer, Christina Millian. Maybe that’s why Abby says she doesn’t like the image that was “given” to Nia, Abby is not known for edgy/pop choreography, perhaps she doesn’t understand the genre.

Nia is known for being a sweet and mature character on the show, which gives reason as to why she seemed to have no issue sharing the spot light with Jojo on stage, who also was treated like an outcast during the Australia visit. She joined in with Nia’s dancers for the show and there were even fans with big bows in their hair to support Jojo’s spunky style that Abby hates.



But despite Abby’s ignorance to Nia’s talents, the up and coming artist seems to be in good hands with the platform she’s being given by some of LA’s hit makers, like choreographer, Mikey Minden and vocal mentor, Aubrey O’Day. 

It just goes to show, you don’t need the ALDC to be a “Star in your own life.”
