Where did it peak on the charts? Honestly i feel like her name hurt her a bit. People couldn't say it and didn't want to

It's still a running joke in certain spaces  :dead: makes me think of Frank Ocean pivoting from "Lonny Breaux" and this fairly new Artist named DIXSON that Beyoncé is now working with. The latter made very little noise until he changed his name and altered his brand a bit.

I wonder if anyone ever suggested that to her back in the day
It's comical to me that Americans have trouble pronouncing Scherzinger.
Schwarzenegger is literally more complicated but no one seems to have a problem with that name.

i think its cuz they heard it so much for movies, etc

they always announce the actors name in movie commercials/trailers, etc

and his name kinda fit the mess cuz its so EXTRA and dramatic just like the movies he was in

This performance was actually good:


The song itself is lacking something though.
It was no surprise to me that it flopped. :trannyjblige:

I think Chilli's version sounds slightly better. The chorus is somewhat memorable, unlike Nicole's

that Chilli mess is AWFUL. Nicole did the beat justice.

and I was just watching that performance, she kinda ate.

this shoulda POPPED harder. a Top 40 mess at least.

:stressed:
Are you serious? Nicole's chorus is Idowhatevayoulike I candoicando I do I do
It's just stupid to me :disgusted:

INCESTlli actually gave the chorus a bit of melody

The Only BLACK Kalmyks

GODcole rode that beat better. the chorus is actually super catchy

GODlli is better on mid tempo songs
her voice is like perfect for them

!!!!!!!! Americans are assholes sdddfff

I'm speaking more to their willingness to get it right, not necessarily that they can't. It's kind of the same reason these white folks can name every breed of dog and every sort of European name you can think of, but, suddenly have all of these issues sounding out "Tamika"

Listening back to this song in the OP, i think people also wanted a bigger sounding single. The hook is so understated, as well as the production itself

People wanted a "When i grow up" tea

sdfsdfddds

i can KINDA understand it

i think its cultural. ive grown up around Tamikas and Daquans so i know exactly how to say their names
but i can see someone who isn't familiar being shy about it

making mistakes that may seem just silly to us:
saying "Tam-meh-kah" instead of the correct pronunciation "Tah-mee-kah", etc.

white folks are more likely to have those europeans with those specific crazy names in their own families.

im sure curry indians think their names are simple and should be easy to pronounce but  :unsure:

it's funny you say that cause "When I Grow Up" was one of the songs she recorded for her album at the time but didn't use

:dead:

then it became a PCD mess
