That's wrong shortt. lol

I have no sympathy for someone like that. People wanna say that she has had issues with health and that her husband should have stepped in and so forth. Truth be told, YOU are in charge of YOU. If you have been through it once, why in the HELL, would you go back there again. People just don't learn....

Toni and her lawyer said the cancellation of the remaining shows in the two-year Las Vegas residency triggered a chain reaction from which she could not recover.

She took a risk and signed on to become the resident headliner at the Flamingo but did not disclose a pre-existing heart condition, according to insurers. Oops! confused

I wouldn't count them out. I remembered reading that Prince fired his personal accountant back in the day because of it. Also he made a pass at Sheila E.

The reason I blame her financial shortcomings on the accountants is because "managing money and moving money" is an accountant's trade speciality. Toni, not having a financial background, would not be able to spot financial errors or bad investments or ghost accounts. They could literaly rob her blind and she wouldn't know it until it was too late. That's why these artists would be well served to take some financial planning classes and learn how to protect their assets. Also, it's never a good thing to have more than one accountant because they may not all be on the same page. One accountant can bamboozle another. We see this in corporate america all the time.

On the other hand....if she actually has money and is just trying to get out of paying her bills....fuck the bitch!

That's what Toni should've done: take financial classes. If you get a chance, view the documentary on Howlin' Wolf. It talks about one period where Wolf was starting to get hits with Chess Records and instead of trusting managers and accountants with his money, he took college courses on how to handle his business. He was living quite well when he died.

Toni's spokesperson is specifically linking financial hardships to the decision to cancel dates of her Vegas show. She is still on the hook to pay back the Flamingo and insurance company, Lloyd's of London for losses.

Perhaps she should just work then. If she can appear on Monique's show and the BET Awards, I'm sure she can pull off a few gigs in Vegas just to lessen the debt. If she's saying she can't work period, that she is too sick to do ANYTHING....then I betta not see her ass out shopping and partying!!!

Toni has done some things that looked bad for her. That performance was one of the weakest she's ever done. She was actually pretending she was playing the piano. I know I said some shit about Alicia Keys but least Alicia has more credentials playing piano over Toni, good grief! lol

I thought she was initially too but she actually did play piano prior to singing so

she's not new to it all. She probably really played during that performance.

Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint

Well I will give her the benefit of the doubt that she may really play piano. However, the chemistry between her and Trey was non-existent. I swear I could predict every move and gesture. I don't know if it was the age difference, the fact that he's mediocre, the fact that she's a bit of a has been, his baby face or something else. Watching the two of them was like watching worms fuck. You honestly could not see anything.

She does play the piano. She stated in some recent interview that she originally wanted to play and sing like Roberta Flack, but the execs at LaFace would not allow her to. They told her she needed to learn how to command the mic and not hide behind a piano.

That song is absolutely . . . horribly! lol

Why does Braxton sound a lil' like mush mouth Anita Baker?

Beats me. lol Guess she was trying hard to BE Anita Baker or Phyllis Hyman. I see traces of both in her vocal style. She doesn't do a good imitation of either lol

For a girl that used to sing along to Barry White records, as a child, I find your comment very amusing Timmy....lol.
