What Happened To R&B Singer Mýa?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ม.ค. 2023
- From an early age, Mya had it. She could dance, she could sing and it didn’t hurt that she was also easy on the eyes. Even though she’d end up launching her music career during a time period where she’d be competing with numerous other R&B divas, Mya still stood out and held her own. Her journey though wasn’t without its trials and tribulations from her battle with schoolyard bullies to her record company’s shady tactics to rumors about her bedroom escapades with various men in the industry. Through it all, Mya chose to stay the course, fight for what she wanted and be true to herself.

She didn't sell her soul, that's what happened! And I love her so much for that. She knows her worth as a woman and artist ❤️💪🏾
They new House Party movie (Mya is in the film) is one big masonic/jesuit order ritual from start to finish!!!
Or maybe she just wasn't successful LMFAO. Not everyone who gets mainstream success sells their soul.
@@user-ny8td3on3m I respect your opinion. Not everyone needs to be mainstream to be successful.
@@user-ny8td3on3mI’m convinced y’all are willfully ignorant mya literally said it out her own mouth like wake up 😂
She did an interview talking why she pulled back from the industry and much of it had to do with the evil doings of Hollywood that she wanted no parts of.
Also, did we just watch the same video? She sounds pretty successful to me 😂🙄
I’m inspired by Mya: the way she carries herself, her solo marriage, how she’s frugal with her money. She has totally autonomy over her life & isn’t swayed by what folks think. I respect her so much! 🥰
Facts Queen 👸🏽 💯. Mya inspires me so much as well. I have been a fan of hers since the beginning of her career when she when she came out. I like how she never let the industry change her and make her into who THEY have wanted her to be. She is such an inspiration ♥️✨✨✨
Saaaaame! Most only know about her music but her as a person!!! Her energy and vibe is everything 😍
I wanna work with Mya ❤
Yes, she's a sweetheart too. I've communicated with her on Instagram a few times over the years.
amen omg I love what she's doing now :D
Love Mya! She maintained her boundaries and didn't allow the industry to change who she is at her core, a true R&B treasure that doesn't get her flowers enough, thank you for this video.
i feel the same way mya is a gem
Period! Much respect for Mya. 💪🏽❤
I wanted to BE MYA. she's gorgeous.😍🔥
Mya's tap dancing in the My Love is Like Wo was definitely awesome!!
Mya, Aaliyah, Brandy and Monica made 1998 one of the best years of music! Not to mention Destiny’s Child’s debut.
Unlike the jovial gimmicks of today, we were sounded by young fresh golden talent.
PS: I wish Mya didn’t get lost in the shuffle of Ashanti’s and Beyonce’s success in 2003/2004 with her MOODRING era. The video for MY LOVE IS LIKE WO is highly slept on.
One of the MOST historic moments in R&B history! The late 90s were great for the genre! I'd add Usher to the great roster you mentioned as well! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@danavixen6274 totally agree! His music appearing in SISTER SISTER twice was awesome especially when Jordan and Tamera danced to his and Monica’s song “Slow Jam”. Don’t forget the memorable Pajama Jam episode of MOESHA. That whole MY WAY era was dope. Great singles and fly album!
You're right about 1998 being one of the best years in music,those female artists & DC debutt I miss dearly,won't be duplicated anytime soon.
Don't forget Mary J!
@@danavixen6274 My Way came out in 1997 I believe. It was the 25th anniversary right along with Mariah Carey's Butterfly, Janet's The Velvet Rope and Erykah Badu's Baduism a few months ago
Mya is a FANTASTIC dancer. She made some MEMORABLE songs and videos. Glad she didn't sell herself short for fame. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mya definitely deserves more credit and she also deserves her flowers while she's still here
Still here? She's only early 40s
@@mascara1777 not to sound so morbid but people do unfortunately die at a young age.
Fallen is literally one of my favourite songs and I’m shocked it didn’t do that well,Mya has made some great songs over the years ❤
I have it on multiple spotify playlists and listen to it at least a few times per week
I was shocked as well. Fallen is timeless✨
I still play it to this day!! ❤❤❤❤
Right? Same
She has aged like fine wine. Looks better the older she gets!
Black DONT crack
Much respect to Mya! I’ve always loved her music & I always respected her for not falling for the mess of Hollywood.
💯💯💯
@@indigoearthangel888 ❤️
Mya is one of those women that didn't let Hollywood or the music industry change her values or morals. She kept it classy and never sold her soul. Love you Mya ❤️
1998 was definitely a great year for hip-hop and R&B!!
Completely agree!!
@@AmoMe2009 😂😂😂
My childhood year ! 🙏🏾💯💪🏾
🤲🎵
Right
Mya's first three albums are classics!!
True
The multitalented Mýa deserves all her accolades and then some. This lovely lady's name has been dragged through the mud, yet she still rises & shines bright every time. Appreciate her for being such an inspiration to many of us. "Best Of Me", "My First Night With You", Coolin', & "Damage" are some of my favorites. Also, honorable mention to her peers: Aaliyah, Brandy, & Monica.🙌🏽👑❤🌹❤🌹❤
Fellow DMV native. I grew up on her since 1998. The rugrats soundtrack is still my favorite song of hers. Underrated legend 🙌🏽
Same
I Remember when Blackstreet and Mya performed Take Me There on Sister, Sister on the episode FreakNik and it was the same episode where Tia and Tyreke got back together
Yaaaaass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m glad they kept that scene and the rights to the song for streaming(HULU/NETFLIX). I will never forget when that episode aired in 1999. Epic!
I've always admired her. She marches to the beat of her own drum. Unproblematic, beautiful, talented and doesn't care about the Hollyweird machine. I would say she has been very successful in life. All the best to her!
Mya aged so beautifully 🤗
Mya is so classy. ❤️
Mya never got the accolades she deserves but she did not sell her soul for fame and fortune through it all she held her head high like a queen wearing a crown 👑👑👑 and with all do respect l admire her strength through all her endeavors in life u rock Mya❤️❤️❤️
That stuff about Jay Z just made me roll my eyes - but doesn't surprise me. So many of these celebrities think they are gods and you must bow down and worship (and unfortunately so many do)
She just made the correct step to move out of this evil industry! I'm glad she did! She has not sold her soul! She is the real deal!
Mya is always been a gorgeous fierce amazing woman and her voice and her dancing steps are truly dynamic, smooth, raw, sexy and talented she does.
Mya’s first two albums were awesome. Her album cuts were pure gems. BABY ITS YOURS, IF YOU WERE MINE, AGAIN and AGAIN,
RIDE & SHAKE, THAT’S WHY I WANNA FIGHT. 😍
Mya, Aaliyah And Monica Was My HOLY Trinity In The 90s
And Brandy
It was Brandy, Aaliyah and Monica actually. Mya was the 4th one
I feel like she's one of most underappreciated artist from the 90s.
Mya deserves more praise. I love how she’s living more of a low key lifestyle. Love the layout!
OMG this made me happy! I saw and met Mya for the first time last summer at a festival. She was the nicest person. She signed autographs and took pics with each person who was there after the show. She was so kind and humble. She sounds amazing, she looks incredible. I was like YASS girl!!! Love her!
I recently saw her on an ad that she will be performing in Jamaica soon.
Actor Hassan Johnson from Belly, Clockers, In Too Deep and The Wire appeared in Mya's Fallen video
Mya had such fun and dope music videos. MOVIN’ ON video is a callback to high school days, CASE OF THE EX had great choreography, FREE was all around retro and timeless video and MY LOVE IS LIKE WO was very well excuted and ahead of it’s time.
I wish they stopped comparing Black girls together. Look how Backstreet Boys and Nsync was still successful and was seen separately. I wish Black artists had that respect. Mya’s music had a spicy/sexy twist that wasn’t polished like a Brandy or Destiny’s Child.
"Look how Backstreet Boys and Nsync was still successful and was seen separately." Uh nooo. They got and still get compared all the time. Lady Gaga and Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, etc. Black people don't just compare; they tear their own apart: facial features, skin tone, hair texture, body type. Idk why y'all make these comments saying "white people don't get compared with each other" which is a damn lie. You seriously think that over 70% of the US population don't get compared and picked apart??? Y'all are just way more loud and evil with it.
Mya's smash hit Case of the Ex later appeared on the compilation album Now That's What I Call Music 5
Yaasss!!!!!!!!! That and Now 6 were my favorite “Now” albums!!
Yes Mya!!! Fear of flying was everything when I was in middle school
Always have had nothing but love for Mya 💯💯
This year is the 25th anniversary of Mya's self-titled debut album and the 20th anniversary of her 3rd album Moodring!!
Mya was & still is a striking multi talented bombshell 🥰.
Absolutely love her songs Fallen & The Best of me among her other jams. 🎵💃
Life can be unfair to a well meaning spirit such as hers...hope she stays Motivated and keeps her joie de vivre 🔥💪
In Too Deep is a classic movie!!
I still bump her song, Moving On with Silk the Shocker. ❤
Her 50 cent clapback will forever be iconic.! I'm sure they went after her for that but she had to defend herself.. Great video you covered all the bases
Always loved Mya for being true to herself and not entertaining toxic executives or rappers in the industry, although they were doing anything to bring her down. And marrying herself is a whole vibe, since nobody is on her level anyway. Most men hate independent women, since they are impossible to control.
Correct on the latter however there's an difference of independent (have the spaces to come together/comparise/ and too independent (no trust, no space, no come together)
Mýa is a STAR :D and deserve her flowers!
I hope one day the Industry recognize everything she represented and her influence to a lot of artists from new generations.
I've been asleep for 24 thousand years, these really help catch me up on pop culture
I've always loved Mya 😍
Always been a huge fan of Mya!
Shes so beautiful and talented 💖
Real talent like her is often slept on while mediocrity reign supreme everywhere smh, idk why people think celebrities can’t downsize or have a regular job/career after fame, like do some of y’all not realize people get screwed over monetarily all the time in the industry or people make poor financial decisions so they end up broke or with very little so you either downsize and live within your means or be homeless, get a regular job/career to take care of yourself when the money ain’t rolling in like that from your music/acting or be homeless, one has to put their pride aside and do what you have too and it’s as simple as that, she was done wrong in a lot of ways by the industry and idk why so many men are trash in the industry and why men lie about sleeping with someone they haven’t, it’s pathetic and screams desperation and jay z need to get over himself just cause she wasn’t worshiping the ground he walks on doesn’t mean she wasn’t worthy, celebrities need to check their egos and so do some fans, who the hell trying to fight someone over a celebrity who doesn’t know you exist, like honestly see a shrink and take your meds to deal with the unhealthy parasocial issue your having, people I tell ya man but the best to mya
She being one of the finest woman. I've ever seen still
One of my fav singers. I knew every song including ones u said failed to top the chart. Tbh I didn't even know fallin, and riding failed. I thought them songs was just as hot as the others. Damn it, now I got to go listen to some mya.
What’s your favorite album cut off her first two albums?
Nothing happened to her she stepped back from the demonic ass industry and she is thriving and doing music her way
Mya said, I will keep my soul, Thank You!!!😂
I love Ms. Mýa. I was obsessed w/ her debut LP. _Don't Be Afraid_ ended up being my favorite cut. _Anytime You Want Me_ is another favorite because there are certain nostalgic noises during the first 5 seconds that just takes me right on back to the 8th grade. I remember buying the first pressing w/o the _Movin' On_ remix feat. Silkk the Shocker and then I turned right around and bought the second pressing w/ the remix. I bought every magazine she was featured in, I'd do my hair like hers and I'd go to Charlotte Russe to find duplicates of her outfits (as close as I could). She's basically like a big sister to me. From her sophomore LP, _Now or Never_ ended up being my favorite cut. After 2003's _Moodring,_ (shrugs shoulders) Basically, I went through a long period of not checkin' for her. I've avoided saying this, but I believe Mýa was ambushed and sabotaged by her label. Soon as she started asking questions and basically standing up for herself, a number of shady things started happening. I do not believe that her label "accidentally" leaked/released her _Liberation_ LP. I believe they had it out for her, internally and needed a reason to sabotage her effort. I also believe that they ambushed her w/ several rappers. All of that unnecessary stress and overwhelm accumulated drama which led to the rollout of her getting shelved. They knew what they were doing. I never bought the "accidental" nonsense. The mid to late aughts was a tricky period because free music downloads were at an all time high and labels were merging and laying folks off left & right. Anyway, I watch Mýa lives here on TH-cam and we have so much in common. I found out that she quit drinking soda around the same time that I quit drinking soda (1998/1999). Oh my God! Like I haven't had a soda in 24 years. It just dawned on me. I also found out that she used to read LP credits and say, "Who is Debra Killings? I like her." I did & said the exact same thing. We like and feel the same way about R&B music. I never had a friend who liked music, overall, the way I did. I've always been kinda extreme, but hey...it's all good. Anyway, once I started checkin' for Mýa again, I was able to catch up on the music that I missed. I'm all caught up nah and her more recent efforts are dope. _Space and Time, Ready For Whatever_ and _You Got Me_ are a few of my favorites. Creating and handling music independently seems like a huge burden nowadays. If it's too much for Mýa then I think she should leave it alone and explore other options. Ms. India Arie recently went on record and revealed that she was basically grinding it out and not receiving the return that she deserved. Great video, Sis.
Yessssssss Anytime You Want Me is my jam
@@jeromewhite7681 Oooh and _Baby It's Yours_ was on my pager's voicemail. "You've reached LaChele's pager. Leave a voice or numeric message after the tone and I'll get back to you whenever I feel like it. Peace!" So '90s!
Love your comment!! I’m an extreme music and nostaliga head too!!!! Mya was too mature for this immature music industry and everything you said was facts. I admit I stopped checking for her after Moodring album. I don’t remember Liberation at all. I basically listen mostly to her first two albums. My Love is Like Wo, No Sleep Tonight, Step and Late are bangers off of Moodring but that’s about it with the Moodring album. I find her first CD(and second CD) more nostalgic too. The tune in Baby Its Yours brings back so much memories.
@@AmoMe2009 Og my God! Thank yuuur! It's a corporate decision though. They decide on who's gon be in the limelight and how long they gon be in the limelight. After that 3 - 5 year mark, they either sabotage artists or simply phase them out in order to make room for the next wave of artists. Think about it. Bobby Brown was the man during the late '80s and then when R. Kelly came around, they phase Bobby out. Dru Hill replaced Jodeci. 112 replaced Soul For Real. That's just the way it goes. Labels don't care because they figure the audience will get over it and move right on to the next one. Who sat in they room, in a corner, crying because Soul For Real wasn't poppin' no more? Just sayin'...
@@LaCheleWallace omg 🤯 you right!!! Never noticed that. You are so damn right.
All true facts spoken!! Especially the labels dont care part and what they figure.
I remember sometimes the characters on Moesha crack jokes in some episode referencing Jodeci and New Edition being irrelevant in the late 90s which if you think about it the Moesha characters were sneaking off to go see acts like Dru Hill, 112, Brandy, etc that were huge in 1998 and stuff so you deff have a point about the revolving door.
Love Mya!! She’s come to New Zealand numerous times and even made it to Rarotonga😍
I love Mya!!! Honestly, I think she sounds better now than she did then ☺️
Oh, just noticed you changed your name. Was thinking I had never heard of “juicy pop” but your voice, I would recognise anywhere 😊❤
I was thinking the exact same thing
Still love listening to Mya's music, Jam to it every day!
wow i can’t believe fallen didn’t do well. i love that song 😢
Mýa is so talented and a true NATURAL BEAUTY.
I’m forever a Mya fan. Plus she’s beautiful ☺️
She aged so well ❤
i hope mya knows how we see her. i see her as a big artist i always have. i always waited for a song to drop i can wait 10+ years for her
I love maya! She was the IT girl and still is !
Mya is stunningly beautiful and “Girls Dem Sugar” is one of my all time favorite songs. I’m so glad you decided to do a video on her!
Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs and rapper Saafir appeared in Mya's My First Night with You video
FACTS 💯💪🏾
Q’s dad from MOESHA!
Mya needs a Verzuz battle with Amerie
Yes! I love both of these ladies! It’s was be awesome.🙌🏽
i would enjoy that on beauty alone, but i honestly dont think that Amerie has 20 solid hits to put up against Mya's catalog. But i do think that she has the hits to go right up again Brandy OR Monica.
I love Mya! I always have ❤ I love that song “Fallin” & I hate that it wasn’t a bigger hit,& “Best Of Me” (original) was a bop! She’s so underrated and unproblematic & gorgeous ❤
These industry dudes be soooo pressed when they can’t get what they want,so they gotta make up rumors smdh. Mya is a queen!! I love that she’s not letting these dusties get to her 👏🏽👏🏽😉😍
I will never forget trying to learn that case of the ex video dance moves..... I loved that video! And that's when I became a fan of Mya and have been ever since....
Fab love Mya she's so humble and stood her ground through the BS!
loved the album fear of flying i had it it was awesome mya isa good singer all around amazing artist
I got chills watching this she really is apart of my childhood memories and she doesn't get enough credit.
Mya is classy.
I saw her perform at La La Polsa in the 90's. Such a huge talent. In her 20 min set she danced, tap danced, sang her music and covers. I'd go see her in Vegas any day. She's pure 🔥🔥
She is Performing today in Baytown,Texas for Juneteenth!! We are so honored, excited and welcome her with open arms! Honestly, I can’t believe I’m about to watch her perform 🎉 FREE in Concert with the whole community and others that will come to Celebrate the special day. Juneteenth! WE Love You Mya! I cannot wait to hear her sing 🎤
Fallen is my favourite Mya song, my first single i bought on Amazon. Sad it didn't do as well
She’s still one of my favourites. I always respected her. She carried herself well and was more than an entertainer! She has a wonderful voice. Great representation of self love and how to know your worth.
I still play her music to this day and yes Fallen is one of my favourites! ❤️✨🔥💐
Here in Australia,I work for a pharmaceutical company called Chemist Warehouse.
A few years ago we had an end of year staff party with at least 1000 people from all departments in attendance.
In the middle of the DJs routine,he stopped the music & introduced a special guest,& guess who it was?
That's right! None other than MYA!!!!!
How in the hell did our company get her to perform her 45min set for us?
I wasn't complaining & it was a treat no doubt.
Got to shake her hand after as well as a photo with her!
She was pregnant too
Was the most unsuspecting moment as I thought I would never see or meet her ever in my life,yet here she was at my work function!
Still a highlight!
She still got it too!
Made the night perfect!
Wow that had to be a crazy surprise. What year was this? You said she was pregnant I don't think she has any kids I wonder what happened to the baby? 🙁
I love the new makeover! Same great content!
Yay! Thank you!
@@JuicyPopEntertainment nice 👍▶️🙂😊🚫🤣😊.
Great video! I seen Mya when she was on tour with Mario she did great 😊 always loved her style
Every human being that made her feel less than or LIED on her will pay on the other side. She will continue to rise as she is now. Many in the music industry are low vibrational. The sheeps (fans) who listen to that jazz are no better either. God and universe is riding for her.
Always happy to see another Marylander doing great in life to this day always been a fan of hers, especially songs like Movin On, it's all about me, and my favorite Fallin'(the song is great, especially using the Pharcyde's Runnin' as an instrumental was just brilliant).
She is so underrated. She should be right up there with Beyoncé, Rihanna & all of the others. She deserved so much better.
Love you Mya! Here are your flowers. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Every time I see her I can’t help but sing “you got me ridin, ridin, past yo momma house” ❤😂
i don’t understand how she didn’t blow up like crazy cuz i was very young listening to her and her voice is just so sweet and innocent
I could only imagine how big she would’ve been…. me being a hardcore Mya fan, I knew a lot of these facts. thank u. there isn’t another artist like her, I really do like her. her music, her spirit. she is so slept on.
Always loved Mya🥰❤️
I love me some Mýa my favorite album is the first album and the second album was OK the third album a mood ring that’s my favorite album. I love it. I am definitely a fan of Mýa.
She didn't fall for the bull, that's what. I have a friend that worked with Mya back in the day. ♥️. I loved me some Mya!
i seen her perform twice back when once at club in jersey then ocean city,md she's stunning
I am glad Mya did not sell her soul❤I commend her for keeping her intergrity.People should be able to share their talent with the world without selling their souls❤❤❤
Mya has the most infectious smile I've ever seen and I'm old. Equally I respect her talent. She's simply gorgeous and I have nothing but mad respect.
That Lloyd Banks diss was 🔥
loooooooove Mya since high school!!!! SO SUPERIOR
May is a real legend, without selling her soul. That’s the type of artists who have my respect ✊ 🙏🏻❤️
She is so pretty!!! I've always live mya
fortunately for her, she had PRINCE in her ear early into her career. Not only gave her a different mindset over life, but also a different mindset on her career. She has full ownership of most, if not all, of her masters.
That clapback at 50 Cent is the definition of EMOTIONAL DAMAGE 😂. Overall, glad she's doing well for herself and not lower her standards for this wicked industry.
Nigga you find that funny. I can tell your one of those 50 Cent male groupies
I remember Mya. I met her in the 90’s before she blew up. A Broadway show was rehearsing in New York for a European tour, and she came to one of our early rehearsals as a candidate. It didn’t work out, but apparently she found something else to do!😀
Lock you down and Ridin are my absolute favorite Mya songs besides ponytail ❤
Another great one .
MYA LEFT DA GAME 💯 she peeped it and wasn’t with it
