Mya was recently asked the inevitable question of possibly being dropped from her Universal/Motown. Her response to moving to another label was:

I don’t really want to sign to another label. If you end up funding most of your projects, why not distribute your own product and make 100 percent of your profits?

This would sound good coming from another artist. Honestly, we really don’t think anyone is interested in signing Mya, but someone has a D-list movie script with her name on it.

    Yeah right…

  • Ripper

    First! What Now!

  • Ripper

    Foiled Again:(

  • Say What?

    mya seems to be picking up some weight

  • Ripper

    Keepin’ It Real with that quick response time. What in the blue blazes does a brotha got to do to win the first slot?

  • Keepin’ It Real (D’Original)

    Mya darling, look at all the artists who said that before you and look at them now… i.e., Prince, KRS-One…

  • Ripper

    Yeah, she is looking thicker. Probably from eating alot of beef products.

  • Gurrrrrrrrllll stop!!!!!

    Sometimes you should just throw in the towel….and find another career. Somebody should throw her a life line….She could model or act or take her butt to college

  • OneStep

    She really needs to just marry well and call it a day….

  • YUP I SAID IT

    ITS TOO BAD SHE GOT THAT BUSINESS SENSE AND SAVVY THIS LATE IN THE GAME. IF SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN THINKING THAT WHY AFTER HER FIRST ALBUM SHE WOULD BE SET NOW. THEY PROBLEM IS MYA NEVER REALLY HAD HER OWN IDENTITY, SHE WAS ALWAYS CHASIN TRENDS AND DOING COLLABOS. EVERY ALBUM HAD DIFFERENT PRODUCERS AND SONGWRITERS, YOU NEVER KNEW WHAT HER SOUND REALLY WAS.SHE NEVER HAD A CONSIST CD.

  • Momo

    Does someone have a plan B for Mya? I think Amerie stole her f-list singing swag.

  • weezy

    I agree w/ Yup and she is actually a good dancer.

    She has the look but not the star personality

  • Dalia

    Girl, puh-leeeeze!!!

    Mya had to fund her projects because she wasn’t making the company any money.

    She needs to get real.

  • Momo

    She always had the type of music you would rip….and then be mad you wasted your CD.

  • Kompton’s Kutie

    Poor thing she thinks that’s going to work 4 her…BEYONCE can say that type of stuff!

    Damn! Girl finally put on some weight. Just look at them arms! She’s gonna need a trainer soon. Call me, M……

  • Lip Chap aka Fuzzy

    She’s looking good here. Try modeling. Give the singing up.

  • Darkesthourglass

    I thought she did her dancing thing before she got into music. She can always teach dancing or choreograph for videos but I doubt she’ll go in that direction. If she became more of a songwriter, wrote for other artists and those songs became hits, she’d have it made in the shade. If she’s smart, she should have plenty of opportunities (in the industry).

    If she can do it, more power to her.

  • YO City

    Is Mya Mixed???? I want her to Model.. I heard She was trying at one point Hott.

  • justme

    i dont care what anyone thinks I miss Mya, who knows maybe if she came backaround i wouldnt be such a Bey fan! sigh oh wel:(

    Mya been finished. The world is saturated with cute female singers. Learn how to play an instrument. Look at Alicia Keys rocking the piano and writing her own songs. She shut all those no talent chicks down.

  • THE HATE!!!!!!

    @ ALL YA’LL

    MYA GOT MORE MONEY AND TALENT THAN YOU!!!!!!

  • Getyourhandouttamypocket

    Mya sounds like a chipmunk. She isn’t talented- as far as singing goes

  • yes

    my mama asked me about mya not too long ago lol

    last interview i read about her i think was vibe vixens last issue, i believe she has a dance studio where she teaches dance, she did a cpl movies so that is always an option

    i really dont know what to say for her career, she just needs new ppl who are still interested in seeing her do well this time around

  • CC

    Mya looks beautiful here.She just needs to find herself a great publicist,manager,and agent.I’m pulling for you grrrl!

  • Darkesthourglass

    I agree. She needs to find her own niche. Artists like Beyonce, Mariah and Alicia Keys found ways to stand out and set themselves apart somehow. Mya needs to find her own place in music or wherever her career takes her. A pretty face only takes you so far.

  • http://deleted keith

    yall need to think out of the box.what makes her any less talented than rhianna or however you spell her name. mya can even sing better than ciara or christina millian.(they are all beautiful,)if its a market out there for something as odd as riverdancing, then theres also a market out there for r&b singers

  • TalkinNow

    What she said actually does make sense. If your promoting yourself, then promote yourself! Don’t sit around for years waiting on the label to do something. You know how it works.

  • YUP I SAID IT

    most of the time in the music indusrty its not about talent…its about who you know….exibit A Mya…uncle or father knew people at university records/interscope. exibit B Aaliyah(R.I.P)…uncle managed R.Kelly and had strong connects at Jive Records. exibit C. Lloyd mother is a showbiz mom and knew alot of A&R people in the ATL. and so many others i can’t think of right now.

  • YUP I SAID IT

    MYA IF you want some musical advice:

    stick to just 1 or 2 producers for your next project for that “consistant sound”.pick songs with memerable melodies.

    work with producers who have success working with light voices: R.Kelly (changing Faces,Nivea, Sparkle, Aaliyah) of course you might have to sleep with him, but seeeing as you both are “sex addicts” there ain’t a problem there.

    Neyo (Rihanna,Paula Deanda) again…you might have to sleep with him or paint each others nails, but hey it will be worth it.

    and if all else fails…find Sisqo and ressurect both your careers with a duet.

    where the hell is Sisqo anyway?

  • Astrid

    Those contacts are the worst!

  • JerseyBred

    She should just wait to get dropped from her label. That way she leaves without owing them any money.

  • Leigha

    she is pretty but pretty can only take you so far. i work in the industry and to be honest…beyonce has the game on lock, it’s hard for all female artists out there. nobody can touch b right now. they all need to pack it up. except for alicia…but notice, alicia came back all dolled-up and singing about love. and going back to mya…universal released 3 of her singles in preparation for the “album”, 2 videos and did mad promo for her. they did what they could, the rest it up to the people. it’s been a rap for the girl for years. i’m sure she’s nice…but yea, she needs to stop datin ugly dudes from the dmv aka dc maryland virginia and marry rich. i’m rootin for u mya.

  • yup i said it

    MOTOWN been that way for years they have a string of failed releases, due to poor promo or marketing i mean who is that last big artist from MOTOWN besides india Arie…ain’t she my girl and all but she ain’t that big either

  • NYC_Chic

    Damn. Her arms look crazy. Why do women get big arms going into their 30s? My sister is like a size 6 but her arms are as big as my thighs. Whats that about?

  • http://www.myspace.com/godwell GODWELL

    IF MY CHANGE WASN’T STRANGE, I WOULD HIRE HER TO PERFORM FOR ME EVERY NIGHT IN MY OWN BEDROOM COONCERT THEATRE.

    CHUNKY ARMS AND THE WHOLE 9….

    …SHE. CAN. GET. IT.

  • TruthSaya!

    I LOVE Mya & I was actually looking forward to her “Liberation” album… that’s a damn shame… Rihanna who makes my ears hurt EVERYTIME I hear has more of a backing than Mya! *SMHFH*

  • Huh!!

    This website gotta be own by the KKK, cause damn ya’ll love to tear down black people. The ignorance is eating up like good cake. Shame shame. People look in the mirror. I’m thankful enough she is still alive to be dissed by people. If Aahliyah was alive they would tearing her down too.
