A number of websites are reporting, the sales of pop music singer, Lady GaGa have plummeted. Her album was sold for 99 cents per download and as such, cleared 1,000,000 copies during the first week of release, guaranteeing an easy number one.
However, during week two, she suffered a massive 84% sales plunge, followed by a 38% drop in week three. This does not equal good news for her career, especially in light of such drastic price cuts. Her sales would have been very dismal had it not been for the sizable price reduction.
Gaga has been plagued by plagiarism and copyright infringement claims that are turning the public against her. Many websites feature bloggers and feedback sections noting the unoriginality in unflattering terms.
There is also such a thing as being over the top and when the public ceases to or struggles to understand an artist, they will simply stop trying and move on to something more palatable. The writing is on the wall for Gaga, but is she reading it.
I saw a stand up special on TV years ago and during the show, comedian Sinbad, remarked that getting too much weave in one's hair, can can make a person look like a German Shepherd. When I saw the above posted photo of Lady Gaga recently, I understood exactly what he meant. Gaga's drug dealer must have been late.
This week’s episode of Braxton Family Values, revealed the sisters are in the beginning stages of recording an inspirational album, which made their Christian mother Evelyn quite happy. The sisters’ father is a preacher. Toni, the most successful of the bunch, has agreed to sing on a few of the tracks, while the other girls will shoulder most of the vocal responsibilities.
Here’s hoping the album will change Tamar Braxton, who is constantly seen attacking her sister’s opinions and lives and much to their distress. Tamar married a rich music executive, Vincent Herbert, who is responsible for signing Lady Gaga. Due to this fact, Tamar uses his money to show off on her siblings, which is unkind and ungracious.
Tamar Braxton
For instance, Tamar insulted the potential new home of sister Trina Braxton, when they went for a viewing. Tamar referred to the house Trina’s husband intends to buy, as small and poor, when it was a nice, well maintained pool home.
It showed a lack of class disparaging the property in that manner. There is nothing wrong with not having a lot of money. One should live within their means according to what they can afford.
Braxton Family Values
She demeaned her sister, when Tamar isn’t even rich, as her husband is and with the way the music industry works, it can all be taken away from them in an instant. Her husband is on top now, but so was his peer, Jermaine Dupri, who has taken a catastrophic financial fall.
Never gloat over wealth. As the Bible illustrates, in a time proven adage, it can disappear just as fast as it arrived. Life is not about material things. If you live for money, you will fail to gauge the real meaning of life and happiness. If you use money to abuse and degrade others, life will find a way of making you pay for it.
Lady Gaga needs to listen to Whitney because "crack is wack"
Wow, recording artist, Lady Gaga, left the house looking crazier than ever, which most thought was not possible after the parade of fashion disasters she has sported, leaving fashionistas aghast and clutching their pearls. It's time to stop coddling these stars and call them on their crazy.
With her glassy eyes rolling back into her drug addicted head, the cocaine enthusiast and self-appointed spokesperson, strutted her latest maniac ensembles for all too willing paparazzi, only interested in her to make a buck. And speaking of buck, did she kill one to make that crazy hat.
At some point, they are going to have to commit this chick, because if she gets any crazier she is going to make Britney Spears look sane. And of course, Madonna is taking credit for Gaga, when we all know she can't sing for squat and and has the style of a colorblind, freeloading pimp.
In the April 13. 2011 article Braxton Family Values Hits A Sour Note, the Judiciary Report commented, Tamar Braxton is jealous of her world renown sister, Toni Braxton. On May 5, 2011, realizing it is the impression she left with many, Tamar did an interview with Eurweb, stating she is not jealous of Toni. If you say so, Tamar.
I get the vibe from all the Braxton sisters that they wonder why it was Toni that producers L.A. and Babyface picked and launched to stardom as a solo artist, rather than one of them. That’s just how the industry works. They don’t think about who gets left behind.
"Braxton Family Values"
It’s the same thing that transpired with TLC, when L.A. Reid dropped the founding member of the group, Crystal Jones, to bring in Rozanda "Chili" Thomas, who according to an Atlanta radio show, he was having sex with, while married to singer Pebbles. Reid is a serial philanderer.
Tamar also addressed another claim the Judiciary Report made in the aforementioned Braxton Family Values Hits A Sour Note article, which is she married record executive, Vincent Herbert, for what he could do for her and not love.
I've known for weeks that Tamar's husband, Vincent Herbert, reads the Judiciary Report. I guess she is reading it as well. The articles I've done on the reality show Braxton Family Values, have been linked and referred by thousands of people and read by hundreds of thousands.

Tamar Braxton Not Jealous of Toni, but Isn’t She a Goldigger?
May 5, 2011 at 05:45 am ...
On being jealous of Toni:
This whole jealousy thing is ridiculous! Toni works really, really hard. I’m proud of her, not jealous of her. I don’t even want to be the same kind of artist. I care about my sisters and I’m so passionate about everything-especially them-so when people see me going off, it’s just my emotions. I want to see them win and be happy. Sometimes I feel like I want to learn from them rather than them learning things from me all the time. I know a lot of things I say are things my sisters don’t want to hear from their youngest sibling, but I say them.
She’s been labeled a golddigger:
Absolutely ridiculous! I find it highly offensive because me and my husband dated each other for seven years, but we’ve only been married for [a little more than] two years. I mean, who’s gonna be with someone just ’cause they got some money and be miserable? I ain’t doing that! If I didn’t love my husband for who he is, then why do I want to work and have my own career? That doesn’t even make any sense. Me and Vince are regular. Some days we cool, some days we want to pull each other’s hair out, but that’s real life because [two people] are not going to agree on everything. It also depends on what your definition of love is, it’s different things for different people. Some people think hugging and kissing someone in public all the time is love, but when Vince told me [thatsthetruth.com], it was out of love because he didn’t want me looking crazy, throwing temper tantrums without understanding that there’s an order to things in this business.
What’s up with the nose job?
I believe in plastic surgery or anything you have to do to make yourself feel good. I’m all about self-esteem. I’ve had my nose done. I was born without cartilage in my nose and when I was 16 I had my first operation—an implant put in my nose. My father had the same surgery. The reason I had it done was because it was hard for me to breathe and I snored terribly. Itwasnotcute.org (laughs). Eventually the implant gave me headaches, so I had to have the cartilage from my ear put in my nose. I have to have it done for a second time, remove the cartilage and remove the implant, but it’s so painful that I’ve been putting it off. But I have to have it done.
Tamar Braxton, the sister of Grammy Award winning vocalist, Toni Braxton, is tired of being in her shadow as a background singer. So much so, she is voicing her displeasure at being in the background all the time. She even slammed the job of being a background vocalist.

Will this sibling rivalry lead to trouble for the family. What happens if the two start competing against each other on the music charts. Toni is the more modest sister, whose had the greater chart success, while Tamar has a moderately successful career under her belt with the group the Braxtons and as a solo artist, but her ego is in outer space, as she has referred to herself as one of the best singers in the world.
Tamar Braxton on the reality show "Braxton Family Values"
What if Tamar begins to outsell Toni. What happens if Toni outstrips Tamar again. Will it be world war three. Can their relationship survive the rivalry. More importantly, will Tamar trounce Beyonce, who has been ripping off her previous work. Much pressure is on Tamar's husband, music executive, Vincent Herbert, who signed Lady Gaga. Will their marriage survive if Tamar flops. Actually, will he survive if Tamar flops.
As those of you know that watch the reality show "Braxton Family Values" singer Toni Braxton's sister, Tamar, is planning on releasing a new CD, after her self-titled debut album over a decade ago, received moderate sales of 100,000 copies (um, that's worldwide, not domestically). This would be a good point to insert the fact that 41-year-old Toni Braxton sold 60,000,000 CDs worldwide, but I'm concerned Tamar might find me and make me pay for writing that.
Toni Braxton
Tamar Braxton, 34, the youngest yet grumpiest of the five sisters, who all have the initials TB (which, ironically, is also short for Tuberculosis) is married to record executive, Vincent Herbert. He is responsible for signing the accident prone, Lady Gaga to a record deal.
Tamar has been nagging Herbert to put her on a Lady Gaga record and he has flat out refused. Is it because she can't sing? No, not at all. She sings better than Lady Gaga and some of her tones are reminiscent of sister Toni, due to genetics. Is it because she can crack mirrors and cameras like Madonna? No, she's not homely and gollum like at all, because of bad plastic surgery. Is it because she has a crazy weave like Beyonce? No, she didn't clear out a weave warehouse to get her hair done in one sitting.
Tamar Braxton
Then what's the problem, you ask? Well, for one, since she is connected in the music industry and can gain access to proper promotion via air and video play, I'd say it's Tamar's inability to pick good songs and her funky, know it all attitude that probably made her sisters want to sell her into slavery like Joseph in the Bible (who is the opposite of Tamar).
Tamar Braxton on "Braxton Family Values"
Tamar's husband is looking very nervous regarding her CD, like Lindsay Lohan before a breathalyzer test. That pervasive fear of failure is very apparent. He probably also knows Tamar might choke him out if the CD flops - Herbert would just wind up missing (LOL I'm kidding, as that would be wrong).
UPDATE: Correction, "If You Don't Wanna Love Me" was released in 2000. The version of the song I heard had the incorrect date on it. However, Tamar debuted in 1989 with her sisters "The Braxtons" on the track "The Good Life" which predates Beyonce. Tamar's husband Vincent Herbert also produced music for Destinys Child, the group Beyonce debuted with in 1998.
Toni Braxton celebrating the launch of "Braxton Family Values"
Tamar Braxton's jealousy over sister Toni Braxton's success in the music industry, became very apparent in the third episode of "Braxton Family Values." Tamar was not camouflaging her envy and resentment, turning Toni's birthday dinner into a massive whine about her non-existent solo career. Everything was about her and the sisters showed their exasperation, as did Tamar's husband.
In fact, Tamar ruined Toni's birthday, by insulting all her sisters about their marriage problems, bragging that she is the one that knows what she is doing in relationships, as she is married to rich record executive, Vincent Herbert, who signed Lady Gaga. But with the way she treats Herbert, one wonders how long their marriage will last.
Braxton Family Values
Tamar nags him incessantly about re-launching her as a solo artist, after her self-titled debut album in the mid 90s failed to go gold, selling 100,000 copies, resulting in her being dropped from her record deal. In listening to the 90s song "If You Don't Wanna Love Me" by Tamar, it is very apparent, she is the singer Beyonce has been trying to emulate for over a decade, when she debuted with Destiny's Child in 1998.
Tamar also insulted and berated Toni for not wanting to go out much, labeling her the "Fun Police." However, she needs to remember her sister has been battling breast cancer, lupus and heart issues. When one is physically sick and on medication, it drains the strength from one's body and one's desire to go out and have fun, due to literal fatigue and sometimes malaise. Pushing a sick person to go to the club is not a good idea.
Toni Braxton prior to the reality show "Braxton Family Values"
Some may be wondering about the slight puffiness of Braxton's face on the reality show, which is most likely due to the fact, people on medication and those who have undergone many medical procedures, sometimes retain water and other fluids in the face. Medication sometimes alters the way the body stores and processes water.
And speaking of faces, the shot of Tamar's wedding photo with Herbert, shown on last nights episode, confirms what I have thought from the show's debut, she had a nose job. Tamar has the same altered nose Lil Kim, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson and Latoya Jackson had at one point. The sad thing is there was nothing wrong with their noses. Being in an industry with flashbulbs constantly going off, poor lighting and the wrong make-up, will make black, Jewish and Hispanic people's faces, particularly the nose, look different than in person. This leads to many getting a nose job.
Sacrilegious, cocaine promoting, pop singer, Lady Gaga, has fallen on stage again for the umpteenth time. I've lost count, but her latest tumble occurred in Atlanta, Georgia. She can't possibly think this is acceptable. A fall once in a while is permissible, but this behavior is chronic (she's probably smoking that too).
A compilation of Lady Gaga busting her butt on stage
What ever happened to the quality of one's show. Jumping around on stage coked out, then falling on your duff, does not a good show make. What happens if she falls off the stage an injures herself. People have died in that manner.
Singer and cocaine addict, Lady Gaga, is cracking in the face of criticism over her new song "Judas." In the track, the singer proclaims she is in love with Judas. It is a perverse homage to the track "Sympathy for the Devil" carrying the same sick concept.
In a failed bid to defend her poor conduct, Lady Gaga stated, "(Starts crying) I feel like honestly that God sent me those lyrics and that melody. When you feel a message to give to the world and people are shooting arrows through it … there’s no way for something that pure to be wrong.”
Why would God give her a song praising the man that betrayed His Son, leading to Jesus murder. Since that time in history, the name Judas has held a negative meaning to it, used as a term to indicate a backstabber and traitor. The drugs are clouding Gaga's brain once again. Gaga's song is disgusting.
Lady Gaga's latest sick single entitled "Judas" has repulsed Christians. The song jarringly and repetitively proclaims the Kabbalah singer is in love with Judas, the man that betrayed Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
So desperate for attention is she, Gaga has resorted to ridiculousMadonnaencouraged tactics, such as swallowing rosaries, wearing crosses over her nipples and dressing up as a nun, disrespecting people's religion.
This is clearly one chick that wants to get struck like that clock in "Back To The Future." Lightning is not your friend. Keep playing with God (sarcasm). After all, it turned out so well for other satanic rock stars such as Led Zeppelin and Kurt Cobain (more sarcasm). For further reference see Celebrities Who Suffered Tragedy In The Occult. You need to beg God for forgiveness.
Sorry for posting this picture, but you need to see the madness this woman is doing and how it is negatively affecting her fans. She is clearly mentally ill.
A fan of crazy Kabbalah singer, Lady Gaga, killed and skinned a cat to wear it as an outfit to her concert. She did this to imitate Lady Gaga's ugly meat dress she wore to the Grammy Awards. Lady Gaga, via her mentally ill conduct, is inducing crazy conduct from her fans. This cannot be good or healthy in any manner and she is sending people these crazy signals (Is Hollywood Making America Crazy).
Fresh off lying about having her honker done, when everyone can see she had a serious nose job, insane Kabbalah singer Lady Gaga, is insisting the prosthetic horns on her face are natural. She made this mad claim by stating, "They're not prosthetics. They're my bones. They come out when I'm inspired." If you say so psycho.
Lady Gaga, who has been derisively renamed "Lady Haha" by internet audiences, due to many thinking she's nuts, made these crazy claims in a recent interview. Children, pay attention. This is why you shouldn't smoke crack. You say dumb stuff everyone but you can see is crazy and a lie.
Drugged out singer, Lady Gaga, made her way to Miami yesterday, for a stop on her concert tour (you know, the one she keeps falling over on). According to Radar Online, Gaga turned to the crowd and employed the crude slang word for penis in stating, "I hope you brought your d***s." Why? did you bring yours, Gaga. You know people think you have one.
Really, an arena full of sparkly gays from South Florida and she asks such a stupid question. What, did you think they disconnected them and left them at home before the show. Time for rehab, Gaga. Drugs are not your friend.
Over the top singer, Lady Gaga stated she has never had plastic surgery. However, before and after photos on the internet, indicate she has had work done. Particularly on her schnoze. Gaga's honker got a whole lot smaller after her first royalty check came in.
She had a Michael Jackson nose, you know, in his jheri curl days. Jackson said the nose job helped him breathe better. Well of course, he took the whole nose off for the holes to get fresh air. I'm just kidding.
Why is girlfriend lying about plastic surgery, which is so common in Hollywood. That's the reason why so many people in Hollywood look alike (black and white). They go to the same surgeons, who have the same vision of what beauty is, which sometimes equals plastic. Loads of it. As a result, everyone ends up getting the same nose, cheeks, breasts and butt (from a catalogue).
I caught a portion of the reality show "Braxton Family Values" which debuted last night and I'm somewhat disappointed. It stars R&B singer, Toni Braxton, her mom Evelyn and the vocalist's four sisters, Tamar, Towanda, Traci and Trina, who were members of the group "The Braxtons."
I was expecting something more wholesome, as their dad is a preacher. However, I'd briefly forgotten the sexually overt path their music careers took in the 1990s. My bad. The show mostly consists of bickering and barefaced jealousy towards Toni, who seems to take it all in stride.
Evelyn, Toni and Tamar
In the 1990s, producers L.A. and Babyface heard the group "The Braxtons" sing. At the time, the group consisted of Toni and her sisters. However, due to the fact their label LaFace already had a girl group, the troublesome TLC, they decided not to sign another, but they did take a liking to Toni's voice, which was reminiscent of veteran singer, Anita Baker. And so her singing career began.
The other sisters struggled through group and solo projects, but none matched the success of Toni Braxton at LaFace. It wasn't because the others couldn't sing, but due to the material they were given. Great songs are a big commodity in music, as material will make or break you. As the phrase goes, "You're only as good as your last hit."
"Braxton Family Values" is somewhat sad, as some of the sisters seem envious of the success Toni, 42, received over an 18-year career. You sense that almost immediately and it was to be expected to some degree, but with one sister it seems like resentment. Tamar Braxton, 34, comes across as the most bitter, as her solo career did not reach the heights her sister's did.
Tamar, who is, uh, very confident (yea that's it), referred to herself on the show as "one of the best singers in the world" (you go girlfriend) had two R&B hit singles in the 1990s and sold 100,000 copies of her debut album. It's not that she can't sing, because all the sisters can. However, the material she received wasn't strong enough.
Toni was also correct in describing Tamar's attitude as "abrasive." Most people don't want to spend time in the field with artists that have constant temper tantrums and attitudes, as Tamar displayed on the reality show. She comes across as spoiled, with an overwhelming air of entitlement, due to her husband.
Tamar, 34, is married to music executive, Vincent Herbert, who in all honestly, she doesn't seem to be in love with, as she talks more about him signing Lady GaGa and helping said singer, while not assisting her with a solo album. Tamar talks more about Herbert's position and money, than love. The two were also seen fighting on camera. This can't be good for a marriage.
Sadly, the Braxtons seem to have lost touch with their roots and it has brought them much sadness. Yes, they still profess their Christian faith, but they've become quite Hollywood and it has damaged them. For example, they like to drink liquor, but considering Toni Braxton has serious health issues and her look alike sister Trina, has become an alcoholic with a DUI under her belt, drinking is clearly not for them.
In short, this family can't hold their liquor and it is breeding addiction and other problems. I'm not writing it to be mean, but pointing out the obvious they seem oblivious to, because they are going to hurt themselves if they continue with the drinking. Yes, Jesus did turn water to wine in the Bible, but not for people to get drunk on it.
Towanda Braxton spoke of her open marriage on the show, which really is not a healthy Christian lifestyle. It's not healthy for anyone - Christian or not. She needs to remedy that. Towanda and her husband need to work out their differences and not present an open marriage as the way to live to their impressionable children. That is not God's plan for anyone's life and it has to be heartbreaking. I hope they are able to sort that out and properly reconcile.
Toni's marriage is not in a good state either. For years she has been married to Keri Lewis of the music group Mint Condition. However their marriage has encountered some problems and they are separated. It's always sad to see that happen to people.
Toni Braxton
The couple have two children, one of whom is autistic. He's a sweet little boy. Toni has also battled her own health problems, such as breast cancer, angina and lupus. That's a serious triple threat. She really could use her husband and family together.
It's sad to see Christian families experience such trouble, but such is life. However, Christians must strive to do better and not stay stuck in the things they know to be wrong and destructive in God's sight.
In perusing YouTube yesterday, I realized there are a lot of videos featuring confessed cocaine enthusiast and singer, Lady GaGa, falling flat on her butt, while performing on stage, then getting back up again. Some of her fans call her a true professional. But a professional what? Drug abuser. People should not encourage or pacify artists in this manner, as they aren't babies. Don't be enablers. Encourage them to seek treatment for substance abuse, lest they overdose and die early.
Eccentric singer, Lady GaGa, decided to get acrobatic, by unwisely standing on her piano stool, whilst performing in concert, only to find out the hard way, it was not a good idea. GaGa, real name, Stefani Germanotta, went down harder than Maks on "Dancing With The Stars" last week. On the way down, GaGa hit her knee, butt, back and head...hard. As if she didn't have enough brain damage already. Uh, I mean, get well soon.
MTV, the network that has the worlds "Music Television" in its title, yet really doesn't play much of it any more, is launching the O Music Awards show. The ceremony will honor internet based artists and "digital music."
Teen stars, Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black are up for awards. Nutty 25-year-old singer, Lady Gaga has received nominations as well, being an artist that started her career on MySpace.com. Ironically, MySpace is sinking faster than Kirstie Alley on "Dancing With The Stars" this week. But back to the article.
Rebecca Black
Finally, Rebecca Black will get to meet Justin Bieber, who she has a crush on and he will dump Selena Gomez for her and they will run off into the sunset (Ok, you know that's what she's thinking, because she totally paid me to write that - joking).
While Black's song has reportedly irritated many, had the chorus been done differently, that would not have happened (it's the way the word "Friday" is sung). However, what I like about her is that she has inadvertently thumbed her nose at Hollywood and the status quo and achieved a hit single and fame without them.
According to Roger Friedman, a journalist on Madonna's payroll, her psychotic Kabbalah cultis under grand jury investigation in New York. Grand juries are used to render criminal indictments in the American justice system. According to Friedman, witnesses have been served subpoenas.
As reported last week, Madonna and Kabbalah, have misappropriated millions of dollars in funds donated to their mentally ill charities "Raising Malawi" and "Spirituality For Kids" which is a front to defraud the public for the aforementioned people's enrichment.
The family behind the cult with the pop singer, the Bergs, all live in luxury in multi-million dollar Beverly Hills mansions, as does Madonna, who draws a big monthly salary from Kabbalah, due to her career having dried up for the past several years. The woman has put out financial flop after flop taking on the charts, yet is buying $40,000,000 homes and expensive cars, all through criminal thievery.
No where in the world can one legally use tax exempt status to acquire financial donations and sell products, but pockets proceeds for one's self. It is completely criminal. However, Kabbalah Centers are a hotbed of crime, engaging in everything from financial fraud and human trafficking to hacking and illegal wiretapping.
Madonna and her cult have also been sued by people employed to work on their behalf, who have not been paid. Courtenay Geddes, who gave them $20,000,000 as a charitable donation, has also filed suit.
At the end of the day, Madonna could care less about Malawi and is using them as a cash cow to solicit money for herself and fellow cronies. She adopted two kids from the impoverished African nation, because it is trendy in Hollywood, kept her name in the papers and is a means to compete with publicity magnet, actress, Angelina Jolie.
Most Jewish people denounce Kabbalah as very mentally ill and a scam, proclaiming its adherents insane people. However, that didn't stop crazy Madonna from promoting this madness all over the world and dragging her kids and a number of Hollywood stars into the mix, such as Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Chris Brown, Rihanna, Lady GaGa, Charlie Sheen and Steve-O, to name a few, who've all gone insane since joining Kabbalah.
However, don't hold your breath on serious criminal charges springing from the aforementioned case. Madonna isknown in industry circles for issuing financial bribes to escape the consequences of her crimes.
After all, she's already bribed the FBIaccording to a very credible source, who has never steered me wrong,as the site's track record attests. Madonna is after all the Satanic madwoman that flew into a rage (like Chris Brown) and beat up a preteen kid (Keith Sorrentino) on a New York street, in front of witnesses, then bribed her way out of criminal charges. It doesn't say much for the justice system, now does it.
