I get what you guys are saying about Tiffany but she's always been that way. But because she's getting more attention she's supposed to pretend to be someone else? We're not all made up the same way. I do find her annoying but also genuine. Which is why I thought we were rooting for her. She remind me of my sister. She's loud, funny and unapologetically herself but will split her last dollar with you. Tiffany is not a representation of ALL blacks but there are so many like her.

Jobe Luna That's a strange comment. Elvis Maduro said he loves when a woman carries herself like this. He didn't say "This is how I expect a woman to carry herself". It's like me making an observation and saying "I love how she's encouraging people to stay in school", that doesn't mean I'm disqualified from saying that if I dropped out of school or that I *expect* women to stay in school.

Queen Vee Imo it's because those women are easier to attain and don't present a real challenge or require you to actually be a whole man before you approach them.

Her and Aaliyah has both always had good down to earth energy and vibes about them. Like you almost know them personally cause of they're openness and honesty about who they are as an artist. Unlike some female artist you don't really get a fell of who they are cause they seem so plaster and superficial and secretive , placed up on high pedestals to the point where they placed so high that other celebrities have to "sign disclosures" to party with them or to even be next to them. MYA and Aaliyah all day everyday I prefer real down to earthness and relatable artist. Great interview MYA. She always had that urban Ness about her music back in Mya 98, 2000 fear of flying and 2003 MOODRING. All three of those album's I bump of hers all the time along with Age ain't nothing but a number, One in a million and Aaliyah 2001. She definitely didn't let Jay-Z get the Best of her.
