'Lie Detector' lyrically makes me gag bitch.

[Lazarus]

I thought about this for years.     I've always liked Mya and wondered why sis always got lost in the shuffle,

One, she came out in '98, too late to really be part of the Li, Bran, Mo group.  She didn't have the homegrown young teen fanbase they did since she came out at 18.  It isolated her.

Two, she could never maintain momentum after big singles.  She'd have like one or two, and then disappear.  The nineties and early 2000s were all about multi-single eras.  She didn't have a memorable string of singles or truly classic albums.  Sometimes it wasn't her fault.  I put a lot on her labels. What was the single that followed Case of the Ex?  Why did Fallen flop? 


Three, she didn't market herself personality-wise.  She's always seemed aloof.  Even in the era of TRL, reality shows, Cribs, Making the Video, etc. I can't remember her making her presence known.


Nevertheless, she won Grammys, made hit singles and collabs, performed for MJ, acted, did DWtS, and she's still recording and cute.  Can't win em all lol.

Mya was definitely visible in the early 00s. Her label definitely made sure she stayed booked or perched at some event. (Janet's Icon, Michael's 30th Anniversary, Liza Minnelli's wedding, etc) She definitely was a staple at MTV, continuously booked movies, endorsements, receive nominations, etc.

I feel like some exec may have tried to take advantage of her and she wouldn't comply ..
And they sorta black balled her

but didn't she fuck her way into the industry?

r u saying she's boring?

[whatever]

Mood ring wasn't full of singles...

Taste this was in vein with Beyonc? me myself and I, Ashanti rain on me, Monica should've known better etc around that time.

After "my love is like wo" wasnt much she could release in 2003 to keep up with her peers.

I mean we had Ci and Bey in full force around the time sis tried to come back. Of course she sunk like the titanic

She was a glorified Chicago extra and apart of the Rugrats craze, kudos. Now let's allow her memory to rest in peace guys
