How come Mya's career fizzled out? She isn't the best singer in the world and she can dance and for a bit in the late 90s, she seemed to be going places, but then, nothing. I mean, I guess Dancing with the Stars helped raise her profile, but I don't think she will make some huge comeback "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

I don't know-I wouldn't call her generic, only cause her dancing skills set her apart from many "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

Not to mention she is fugly. I think she has a great personality, though. Another thing is I don't think she wanted to go down the sexy road that Britney and others went down. Mya kept doing the same thing over and over, while Britney started kissing Madonna and went crazy. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

But when she sang on "Ghetto Superstar", or "Lady Marmalade", she was barely there next to people like P!NK & Aguilera. If I were her, I would have done my own song for the album. It was embarrassing to hear how much she just disappeared on that song. Same for "Ghetto Superstar". I don't know any of her own songs. She's always on someone else's track. | |

Mya is actually at the top of my list of artists I think are hot, but can't stand their music. | |

This is her biggest solo hit: I also kinda liked "Free" that Jam and Lewis did. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Even Madonna's "Don't Tell Me", "Walk On By" from Isaac Hayes (the video they shot for the Dead President's movie), Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc. They are all similar in theme. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Bullshit on the singing part, can Rihanna sing? MYA is viewed as old, she was like Ashanti was, everyone claims they hate them and yet everyone begged MYA to throw a lyric on their song back in the day. MYA is now actually happy and working indie, which everyone who wants to make money should be doing, she made more of the Dancing with the stars gig and a small club tour and an indie mix tape cd, then she did during the 90's and early 00's when she was charting and making more than alot of RB females now who are "hitmakers" she also built a dance school in DC so kids can learn as opposed to commit crimes "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

I still jam to this song:
Prince Rogers Nelson
Sunrise: June 7, 1958 Sunset: April 21, 2016 ~My Heart Loudly Weeps "My Creativity Is My Life." ~ Prince Life is merely a dress rehearsal for eternity. | |

I don't think any of us here said Rihanna can sing either. The only reason Mya is indie is because she got dropped by Interscope. I think she recorded about 2 albums worth of material before they dropped her. If you really think about it, Mya doesn't have the same appeal that a lot of other acts have. Rihanna was made to have that appeal. They tried it with Mya when Moodring came out and it just didn't work. I don't think Mya can sing (like a lot of other acts out there), but the girl would be a good choreographer and dancer. It would be cool if she could do something like Toni Basil did. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

The albums both came out but overseas, i still want to see MYA get away from the Angry RB female thing, she is better at straight dance music than anyone in RB by far, she is said to have 4 albums worth of material that will come out on her own label. But she is viewed as old, lets face it, thats the game in RB, u gotta be younger than 25, and Mya is now 30. Another issue is that MYA doesnt have that "puppet" appeal, she isnt someone you can tell what to do, she has a mind and very strong opinions which put alot of people off, and some view her as a "bitch" because of it, but if she was a male, it would be sticking up for his art.

You pretty much prove my point that she should do something like Toni Basil. Mya could "crack the whip" behind the scenes and make a lot of money. DWTS proved that she was a consummate professional. You didn't see the other celebs saying "that's not right", "that looked ugly", "you're not working hard enough", etc. She worked her ass off and has a great work ethic. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Simple the Beyonce Era
Once Beyonce went solo and started blasting the music charts there was a decrease in female R&B singers having the popularity they once did. Rihanna is the only but she came after the Beyonce era but 2001-2004 was the worst time to try to be a famous R&B singer because of the music industry pushing Beyonce Ashanti was the one who came along around that era but she just dropped because she could not compete and plus Murder Inc. got flat | |
