Her sounding like a mouse didn't help either.

alexothetimes said:

Not to me. I would never use the adjective "hot" to describe her.

daPrettyman said:

There's not attractive and then there's "fugly" as you put it. Not just ugly, but "fugly" which is several stages below plain old ugly. I think that is unnecessarily harsh.

sextonseven said:

Ok, I apologize for the confusion. I just used "fugly" because I didn't want 2 curse.

I still love ya.

she tried the skank route. epic fail! this might have been the beginning of the end right there.

BklynBabe said:

Her skank route worked for me.

Mya has the most perfect thigh to ass ratio.

BklynBabe said:

Hmmm I thought the beginning of the end came about late 99'-00' when she started fuckin rappers 4 features. (She jumped ship from R&B once Sisqo and Dru Hill were yesterday's news). But unlike Mariah b4 her she didn't have the senority, money, or connects 2 keep from gettin sidekicked 2 the left...

LittleBLUECorvette said:

I think I've heard 4 or 5 of her songs.



I couldn't recall a single one of them, not even 30 minutes after I'd heard them.


The songs were generic. The voice wasn't very unique. And she was quite arrogant during her initial interviews. I remember seeing an interview about what they're new years resolutions were, she said something in a 'supposed' joking manner but with an arrogant air about it, "probably fire somebody." like she had an enormous MC-Hammer circa 1987 sized entourage or something.

If you're going to have a generic voice and sing generic forgettable songs, you need to be damned sure your brother is Michael Jackson. Just sayin'

Imago said:

her hits were def. not forgettable- I was into Mya until she got real skanky- I like her much better than Ciara or Rihanna-

Mya was then like Keysha Cole now is- she was hot when she was hot- now she's not...

Who ever said Mya is "ugly" has a lifetime supply of haterade in lemon flavor...

Musically she's "blaah", but her body most def. would have me "Feenin" Jodeci style...

A lot of R&B female perfomers aren't doing good.

diamondpearl1 said:

Little bit of both, there were people at Universal that wanted her, and someone well known that she was with, that was with someone else well known. I think u all can narrow down who the man was she got with. Well "moodring" was her best work just too damn long, and had too many slow songs, for a girl so hot that can dance so much she was doing ALOT of slow songs. The image didnt do her in, the change in decade did, she was a 90's artist and she came from that whole "featuring_____" era and now it had new blood like Ashanti, and MYA tried that game and it wasnt for her. Got mixed up with the wrong peeps, those peeps made SURE that moodring was let go QUICK, "fallen" was set to be her biggest solo single when suddenly the promo $$ were pulled. She then went over to Motown and that was a total mess, there was more of that "bullshit" at Motown than at UNIVERSAL, and started coming at people hard in interviews (50cent) being one of them, and if you read a recent intervieew with the GAME, he said "50 may be shit, but he could end your career with one call, he did it to ja rule and made sure MYA didnt come out" now usually i dont quote rappers, unless they are one of the pioneers, but the GAME is one of the last real cats. So MYA got stuck releasing that Motown album in Japan only, and it did her good because it humbled her and made her stronger, she needed to be out of the bullshit game, she needs to be like Teedra Moses (just put out the music dammit) but MYA is grown up now (not just that bod) and she isnt going to be "beyonce" at any point or even rihanna, that ship has sailed, she is 30 now, which is like 100 in RB female years, so MYA, for me, cut a dance record, drop the ballads, and show that perfect thigh to ass ratio, U fucking kill them all off!

She was popular late 90's into 2000's just like with everything else people move on

I never thought she was that much of a talent.

pretty on the eye, yes

good dancer, quite a few of those around

but thats about it

Imago said:

Mya isn't stunningly beautiful, but she is very attractive, and she can dance well, but her voice was pretty thin and not distinctive from the average female R&B artist of this decade. Since she didn't stand out from the crowd, she quickly got usurped by the Beyonce and Alicia Keys hype machines, and later by Rihanna, who had Jay-Z backing her. That basically caused her to fade away, as it did the same to Ashanti, Amerie, Latoya Luckett, and just about every other female R&B singer except maybe Keshia Cole, who at least had picked up Mary J. Blige's mantle as the ghetto diva of this decade.

Lastdecember, what well known man was Mya with and how on earth does 50 have that much pull?

scriptgirl said:

Jay Z. And 50 has alot of pull i dont know why, but apparently its known, just the fact that he came from nowhere and got into an area that few get into, and i have recently heard that almost all of it was false, including the shot 9 times deal which is what made him famous lets face it. But in the GAME's interview he basically calls him out so to speak on him having that kind of pull and power, i mean we cant deny the whole JaRule thing, i mean Ja had songs everywhere and then one day after a beef he was gone, blacklisted, that didnt just happen by chance.

2bh, I liked Mya but I don't remember her songs that well lol. Probably "My Love is Like Wo" but that's because of the video. Other than that, she really didn't do nothing 4 me. lol

I know.... everybody and their mama was singing ja rule

Evvy said:

What hits?

I can't recall a single song, albeit I'm not a huge fan of the pop genre, I found them utterly forgettable.

And apparently so did America.

Imago said:

"It's All About Me", "Movin' On", and "My First Night with You". Ghetto Superstar",Take Me There" from The Rugrats Movie soundtrack(that was my jam )

She did lots of stuff with the homie Silkk the Shocker.

babybugz said:

And a lot of people be frontin like they weren't listening to
Ja before the whole 50 thing. He comes along with that i've been
shot 9 times and i'm the toughest thug bullshit and all of a sudden
all those people are 50 fans.

babybugz said:

My First Night With You was originally recorded by Deborah Cox
on her debut album in 1995.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

I think this was their big hit:


I wish she could have helped him.

I just found this. Supposedly, it is a new single with Mya and Sisqo.

daPrettyman said:

and this one

Boring music and didn't capitalize on her peak.
