WOULD YOU SAY THAT, UH, THERE'S A MOMENT IN YOUR LIFE

THAT'S BEEN THE GREATEST JOY?

WHEN I WON MY FIRST "SOUL TRAIN" AWARD.

WHAT?

WHOEVER WAS ON "SOUL TRAIN" MADE IT.

CAN I GET YOU GUYS TO COME OUT ON THE ROAD

FOR, LIKE, A DAY OR TWO?

Y'ALL THAT BOOKED?

I'M ALREADY FEELIN' BAD BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW

HOW TO HANDLE THE LOGAN SITUATION.

- DON'T SECOND-GUESS YOURSELF. - YOU KNOW,

I JUST MISS YOU GUYS.

I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

EVERYTHING IS GOING GREAT FOR US IN OUR LIVES,

BUT WE TOO STUPID TO GET ALONG-- FOR REAL?

DO YOU KNOW HOW STUPID WE LOOK?

THAT'S NOT EVEN WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW.

BUT WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS, TRINA,

BUT THAT'S HOW STUDIO WE LOOK,

BECAUSE WE ARGUIN' OVER WHAT?

YOU DON'T LIKE ME BECAUSE OF WHY?

♪ WE ARE THE BRAXTONS AND YOU'LL SEE ♪

♪ THAT WE ARE NOT LIKE AN ORDINARY FAMILY ♪

♪ TONI TRACI TOWANDA TRINA TAMAR AND MISS E ♪

♪ WILL TEACH YOU A THING OR TWO ♪

♪ ON BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES ♪

- HEY, GUYS. - HEY.

- WHAT UP, SIS? - WHAT'S HAPPENING?

- YOU GOOD? - I AM.

I SEE YOU.

WE GOTTA GET THIS RECORD OUT.

THE STATUS OF MY MUSIC CAREER IS AT A STANDSTILL.

IT'S LIKE I DON'T HAVE TIME TO REALLY PUT MY FOCUS INTO IT,

SINCE I WAS ON TOUR WITH TAMAR

AND CONCENTRATING SO MUCH ON "BAR CHIX,"

TO MAKE SURE THAT'S LAUNCHED PROPERLY.

AND SO, NOW,

MY PRODUCERS HAVE BEEN THREATENING TO ABANDON MY EP

IF I DON'T GET MY BUTT IN THE STUDIO ASAP.

SO, HERE I AM.

THE FIRST EP,

HOW MANY SONGS YOU GUYS THINK WE SHOULD HAVE ON THERE, TOTAL?

- WHAT DID WE SAY, SIX? - WE SAID SIX.

NO MORE THAN EIGHT FOR THE EP.

- EIGHT'S A LOT. - IT'S NOT.

HOW ABOUT SEVEN?

THAT'S BETWEEN SIX AND EIGHT.

LET'S GET 10, LET'S GET 12,

LET'S GET 15. - RIGHT.

SO WE HAVE OPTIONS TO CHOOSE.

SO WE HAVE OPTIONS, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

YOU GOTTA HEAR THE NEW RECORD. - OKAY, LET ME HEAR IT.

OKAY, SO, IT'S LIKE THIS.

THE FIRST VERSE IS LIKE...

♪ WAKE UP IN THE MORNIN' FEELIN' KINDA COOL ♪

♪ LIKE EVERYTHING'S GOIN' MY WAY ♪

WHEN I FIRST HEARD "GOOD DAY,"

I WAS JUST NOT FEELING IT

BECAUSE IT SEEMED TOO BUBBLE-GUMMY,

EVEN FOR ME,

AND YOU KNOW I'M THE QUEEN OF BUBBLE-GUMMY SONGS.

AND IT'S JUST, I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S A GOOD FIT.

♪ IT'S GONNA BE A GOOD DAY ♪

- ALL RIGHT. - YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

WHAT YOU THINK?

WELL... IT IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN, YOU KNOW,

"PARTY OR GO HOME" AND "GAME TIME."

I THINK THE DIRECTION IS INCREDIBLE.

WE JUST GOTTA GET YOU IN THE STUDIO.

FOR THE SAKE OF GETTING THE BALL ROLLING WITH THE EP,

I'M GONNA TRY "GOOD DAY."

BUT... COME ON, GUYS, CAN I BE 30?

AT LEAST 30.

♪ IT'S GONNA BE A GOOD DAY ♪

♪ AND NOTHING'S GONNA BLUE MY HEART ♪

♪ IT'S GONNA BE A GOOD DAY ♪

I CAN'T--

I'M BUSY TRYIN' TO TAP-- DO IT AGAIN.

I THINK YOU'RE SMOOTHING IT OUT TOO MUCH.

YEAH, IT NEEDS TO BE MORE CHOPPY.

IT NEEDS TO BE MORE CHOPPY.

♪ IT'S GONNA BE A GOOD DAY ♪

MAYBE I'M NOT-I DON'T THINK I'M FEELING IT YET.

LET ME TAKE MY HAT OFF.

IT MIGHT SOUND BETTER, TOO.

- WITH YOUR HAT OFF? - YEAH.

OKAY.

OH-OH, STAY WITH IT.

OH... CHILD.

- STAY WITH IT, TRINA. - I'M TRYING TO.

JUST START RIGHT ON "DAY."

DO YOU WANT ME TO GO AHEAD AND CHOP IT UP ALREADY,

OR DO YOU WANT ME TO DO IT STRAIGHT,

AND THEN WE'LL CHOP IT POST--

JUST DO IT STRAIGHT AND I CAN CHOP IT.

♪ DAY ♪

♪ DAY ♪

♪ DAY ♪

♪ DAY ♪

ALL RIGHT, THAT'S ALL I NEED.

YOU CAN COME ON OUT.

GOOD JOB-- GOOD JOB.

- MUCHAS, MUCHAS. - GOOD JOB.

THIS IS REALLY GONNA BE NICE.

♪ YEAH I GOT A FEELIN' ♪

♪ TODAY IS GONNA BE A GOOD DAY ♪

- OH, YOU ALREADY CUT IT UP? - YES.

NOW THAT I'M HEARING MYSELF ON THE TRACK

AND I'M KIND OF PUTTING MY OWN LITTLE JOOSH ON IT,

I'M GETTING REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS SONG.

I'M THINKING THAT MAYBE IT COULD WORK.

YOU'VE BEEN NEEDING THIS KIND OF RECORD.

♪ GONNA BE A GOOD DAY ♪

♪ GONNA BE A GOOD DAY ♪

♪ IT'S GONNA BE A GOOD DAY ♪

- YEAH, GOOD. - YEAH.

HI.

THANK YOU.

WHAT ARE YOU HAVING, MOMMY-- YOU WANT SOMETHING TO DRINK?

YOU KNOW WHAT-- GIVE ME ICE WATER, PLEASE.

UM, DO YOU GUYS HAVE ICE COFFEE?

YES, WE DO.

DO YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE ALMOND MILK?

I'LL HAVE TO CHECK INSIDE FOR THAT.

- OKAY. - THANK YOU.

I DO NOT FEEL PREPARED FOR THIS EVENING.

YEAH, I WAS JUST GETTIN' READY TO ASK YOU.

HOW DO YOU FEEL? - STRESSED.

- A LITTLE NERVOUS. - NO.

MORE STRESSED THAN NERVOUS.

SO, WE'RE IN VEGAS, AND ME AND MY MAMA,

WE DECIDED TO GO GET SOMETHING TO EAT,

JUST TO TRY TO LIGHTEN THE MOOD,

AND, YOU KNOW, TRY TO GET ME TOGETHER

SO I CAN GO AND DO THE "SOUL TRAIN" AWARDS.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I'M GONNA DO THE RED CARPET,

BECAUSE MY RED CARPET LOOK IS NOT WHAT I WANTED IT TO BE.

AND, YOU KNOW, I JUST-I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I WANNA GO,

AT THIS POINT. - YOU'LL BE FINE, TRUST ME.

I FEEL LIKE I'M SUPPOSED TO BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION

WITH, LIKE, TONI,

'CAUSE SHE'S BEEN THROUGH THIS BEFORE

AND I-I DON'T EVEN REALLY HAVE THAT.

SHE'S GONNA CALL YOU-- SHE'LL CALL YOU.

I-I-- YOU KNOW, MOMMY, I-I'M HOPING,

AND I'M BANKING ON IT, AND I-I'M REALLY--

YEAH, YOU'RE BANKING ON IT.

I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S REALLY BOTHERING ME RIGHT NOW.

THE GIRLS ARE HERE AND I AIN'T EVEN SEEN 'EM.

THEY HAVEN'T CALLED YOU?

I HAVEN'T HAD THAT SUPPORT YET

THAT I'M YEARNING FOR.

BUT, SOMETIMES, PEOPLE NOT ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU.

SOMETIMES, PEOPLE FAIL US. - I UNDERST--

IT'S NOT THAT THEY MEAN TO.

THAT'S JUST LIFE.

IT'S TOUGH 'CAUSE, SOMETIMES, IT'S LIKE,

WHY DID I GET MYSELF IN THIS PREDICAMENT

IN THE FIRST PLACE? - WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE.

WHAT PREDICAMENT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THAT YOU HAVE FULFILLED YOUR DREAMS?

SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO?

SOMETHING THAT YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO BE?

I-I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

BECAUSE IT'S NOT-I WOULDN'T TRADE THAT

FOR THE RELATIONSHIP WITH MY SISTERS,

AND IT'S SOMETIMES JUST TOO MUCH.

I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

AND BECAUSE YOU GUYS WAS RAISED SO CLOSE,

YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR ONE ANOTHER.

BUT, TAMAR, SOMETIMES...

YOU GOTTA WALK ALONE.

MOMMY, SOMETIMES I DON'T FEEL LIKE

I'M STRONG ENOUGH TO DO THAT.

LIKE, I GOTTA JUGGLE MY CAREER,

AND THEN MY MARRIAGE, AND BEING A NEW MAMA.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL I'M DOIN',

AND I JUST-I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE MORE FUN, YOU KNOW?

AND IT'D BE EASIER BECAUSE-- THEY WOULD BE EASIER.

AND THEN-AND IT'S ONE THING WHEN PEOPLE CAN'T BE THERE,

BUT WHEN IT'S A CHOICE 'CAUSE THEY DON'T WANNA BE,

LIKE, IT'S SO HEARTBREAKING,

AND THEN THAT BECOMES OVERWHELMING.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

IT'S LIKE LOVING A MAN THAT DON'T LOVE YOU BACK,

AND THERE AIN'T NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID SO BAD, YOU KNOW?

I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT I DID EVERYTHING FOR MY FAMILY.

YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SAYING I HAVE THE BEST MOUTH IN THE WORLD,

BUT I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT, AT THE END OF THE DAY,

THEY KNEW WHERE I WAS COMING FROM, YOU KNOW?

BUT MAYBE NOT.

IT'S JUST A LOT, AND IT'S A LOT TODAY.

IT'S ABOUT YOU RIGHT NOW.

SO YOU HAVE TO FIND YOUR STRENGTH,

EVEN THOUGH YOU FEEL YOUR SISTERS HAVE ABANDONED YOU,

WHICH I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.

I FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, IT'S SO LATE

THAT I'M NOT CLOSE WITH MY SISTERS RIGHT NOW,

BECAUSE REALLY, HONESTLY, WHO I GOT?

FOR REAL.

I MEAN, I GOT MY MAN AND I GOT MY BABY,

AND THAT'S GREAT.

AND I GOT MY MAMA, AND THAT'S FABULOUS.

BUT THEY'RE NOT MY SISTERS, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

CAN I HAVE A HUG?

TAMAR, YOU CAN HAVE TWO HUGS.

WHAT ABOUT THREE?

I LOVE YOU-- IT'S OKAY. - LOVE YOU, TOO.

IT'S OKAY, BABY.

OKAY?

THIS, TOO, SHALL PASS.

NOW, LET'S EAT.

MAMA, YOU DIDN'T GET THAT PLUM ON MY HAIR, DID YOU?

I JUST GOT MY HAIR DONE. - WHAT-- SEE, SEE, SEE?

SEE WHY I DON'T WANT-DON'T HUG YOU?

SEE-- DID YOU MESS MY HAIR UP?

LET ME SEE.

YEAH, WELL, IT'S NOT SO BAD.

- OKAY. - HOW ABOUT THAT?

THANKS-- YOU KNOW THAT PLUM STAIN DON'T COME OFF.

- TAMAR, YOU PLAYIN'. - I'M-- NO.

MMM-HMM, I LOVE THOSE.

HEY, TRA-RAY. - HEY.

- COME IN. - I'M TRYING TO GET READY.

I-I HAVE MY ROBE ON.

VEGAS, BABY.

TONIGHT, ALL OF THE BRAXTON GIRLS

ARE GOING TO THE "SOUL TRAIN" AWARDS,

AND I'M EXCITED.

SIN CITY, SISTERS, AND SOLO.

LET ME SEE YOUR DRESS.

BAM!

OH, YOU GOTTA SLENDERIZE, TRACI RENEE.

YOU HAVE A GREAT SLENDERIZATION PROCESS GOIN' ON.

- THANK YOU. - ALL RIGHT.

THE SISTERS IN LAS VEGAS,

AND WE GOING TO WALK ON THE RED CARPET, HONEY,

AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GO TO THE SHOW.

TAMAR IS NOMINATED.

TONI IS PRESENTING WITH BABYFACE.

LIFE IS GOOD.

IT'S HOT IN HERE. - IT'S VERY HOT IN HERE.

I-I-I PROMISE, IT'S JUST LIKE I'M SWEATING,

AND IT'S JUST...

CAN-CAN YOU SMELL ME REAL QUICK?

- IT-IT'S ON 65. - SMELL ME.

TRINA, YOU SMELL LIKE BABY POWDER.

WHY YOU MAKING ME SMELL ALL-- - WELL, SMELL THIS SIDE.

SMELL THIS SIDE. - NO, THAT'S OKAY.

- NO, JUST SMELL-- - BUT YOUR TAY-TAYS ALL--

- WELL, JUST SMELL THIS SIDE. - I'M SORRY-- OKAY.

JUST GO RIGHT HERE-- JUST SMELL THIS SIDE RIGHT...

- NO, I DON'T SMELL ANYTHING. - WHAT'S IT SMELL LIKE?

IS IT STINKY?

NO, IT SMELLS LIKE BABY POWDER.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PUT YOUR--

I DID TAKE A SHOWER, BUT SOMETIMES I SWEAT

WHEN I GET NERVOUS. - WELL, YOU PUT SOME--

I'M NOT EVEN PERFORMING AND I'M NERVOUS.

I'M SWEATING AND STUFF.

BUT TRINA PUT HER CLEAVAGES IN MY FACE.

TRACI, YOU'VE SEEN THEM ALL MY LIFE.

IF YOU SMELL FUNKY,

IT'S A SISTER'S DUTY TO TELL YOU.

I DON'T WANNA WALK DOWN THE RED CARPET

SMELLING LIKE A GYM LOCKER.

THAT'S NOT CUTE.

I CAN'T LIE.

YOU TALKIN' ABOUT YOUR UNDERARMS AND EVERYTHING.

I AM SWEATIN'.

DON'T YOU KNOW HOW, WHEN YOU NERVOUS,

SOMETIMES YOU SWEAT RIGHT THERE?

THAT'S WHAT IT FEEL LIKE.

DO YOU NEED SOME TALCUM POWDER?

I-I THINK SO-- LET ME PUT SOME TISSUE RIGHT THERE.

BUT THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN NEEDING TALCUM POWDER THERE.

WAIT, HOLD ON.

- OKAY, I THINK THAT'S GOOD. - IS IT?

OKAY, I'LL JUST PUT THIS RIGHT HERE.

MAKE SURE WHEN I SIT, SO I WON'T MAKE NO MARKS.

MARKS?

ON WHAT? - MY DRESS.

I DON'T...

WAIT!

- NO WET MARKS ON YOUR DRESS? - RIGHT.

ARE YOU WEARING-ARE YOU WEARING, UM, PANTIES?

I HAVE NO PANTIES ON.

YOU IN COMMANDO?

TRACI!

BUT WHAT IF YOU GET OUT OF THE CAR, TRA-RAY,

AND THEN EVERYONE SEES ALL THE CONTENTS OF YOUR PURSE?

YOU WON'T SEE IT.

YOU WON'T SEE NOTHIN' OF MY PUR-MY POCKETBOOK.

MY CLUTCH BAG.

BECAUSE IT'S TIGHT.

OOH, TRACI.

YOU KNOW YOU WRONG FOR THAT.

THANK YOU.

COMING UP ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

WE LOVE EACH OTHER.

WE JUST DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER RIGHT NOW.

- YOU LOST 20 POUNDS? - YES.

YOU HAVE 20 MORE TO DO.

YOU ARE NOT BI-POLAR, YOU ARE TRI-POLAR,

'CAUSE YOU'RE TRYING ME.

HONEY CHILD, MAY I SAY, I WAS LOOKING SCRUMPTIOUS.

I WANTED TO KISS MYSELF ON THE LIPS.

WE NEED THE GROUP TOGETHER.

I AM EXCITABLE.

RED CARPETS ARE SO MUCH FUN.

WE GET DRESSED UP, AND WE SEE LOTS OF PEOPLE.

WE GET OUR PICTURES TAKEN A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND TIMES,

AND I JUST THINK THAT WE WERE BORN TO DO THIS.

WE SHOULD DO THIS EVERY NIGHT.

I LOVE SEEING THE ENERGY OF YOU LADIES TOGETHER.

IT'S AN INSPIRATION TO SEE SISTERS COME TOGETHER.

HAVE A GREAT NIGHT TONIGHT.

THANK YOU.

REGARDLESS IF TAMAR AND I ARE GETTING ALONG

RIGHT NOW OR NOT, WE PUT ALL OF THAT ASIDE

SO THAT WE CAN CELEBRATE EACH OTHER.

WE'RE HERE TO CELEBRATE TAMAR'S NOMINATIONS

FOR THE "SOUL TRAIN" AWARDS,

AND I WOULDN'T HAVE MISSED IT FOR THE WORLD.

WHO ARE YOU GUYS EXCITED TO SEE TONIGHT?

WELL, NUMBER ONE, WE'RE EXCITED BECAUSE OUR SISTER,

TAMAR, IS UP FOR FIVE AWARDS.

WHOO!

YEP, SHE-SHE DID THAT.

- GOOD TO SEE YOU. - RIGHT-- HOW ARE YOU?

I'M HERE WITH ONE OF MY FAVORITE FAMILIES,

THE BRAXTON SISTERS.

YAY!

SO, WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FOR THE NEW SEASON?

A LOT OF DRAMA-- I MEAN, EVEN MORE DRAMA.

BUT WE LOVE EACH OTHER.

WE JUST DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER RIGHT NOW.

STILL?

THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT YOU SHOULDN'T DO OR SAY

IN FRONT OF THE COMPANY,

AND THAT COMMENT IS NOT SOMETHING SHE SHOULD HAVE SAID

IN FRONT OF THE COMPANY, HONEY.

IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW,

I'M NOT SAYING BE FRAUDULENT ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON.

BUT, UH, AT THE SAME TIME,

YOU HAVE TO RESERVE SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF

AS FAR AS FAMILY DYNAMICS ARE CONCERNED.

TONE'S HERE.

I'M WALKING THE RED CARPET WITH KENNY TONIGHT,

AND I THINK MY SISTERS ARE HERE.

I-I DON'T SEE THEM AND I CAN'T FIND THEM.

IT'S LIKE A SEA OF PEOPLE,

AND THE REPORTERS AND THE CAMERAS.

BUT, WE'RE GONNA BE TOGETHER FOR THE SHOW

AND CROSS OUR FINGERS FOR TAMAR.

I KNOW SHE'S GONNA WIN-- SHE'S GONNA WIN.

THANK YOU SO MUCH-- THANK YOU.

WELL, YOU KNOW, REALLY HONEST TO GOD,

I DIDN'T WALK THE CARPET

BECAUSE MY OUTFIT WASN'T ALL THE WAY TOGETHER.

I WAS A HOT ASS MESS IN MY HEAD, YOU KNOW,

AND, YOU KNOW, NO TELLING WHAT I WOULD HAVE SAID

ON THE RED CARPET THAT I COULDN'T TAKE BACK.

AND I SIT IN MY SEAT...

NEXT THING I KNOW,

THEY ARE READING OFF THE CATEGORY THAT I'M IN.

THE WINNER IS...

TAMAR BRAXTON!

I WASN'T SURE SHE WAS TALKING TO ME.

THERE COULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER TAMAR,

'CAUSE MY NAME'S TAMAR, OKAY?

AND I WAS LIKE, OH!

THAT WAS-- I THINK SHE MEAN ME!

I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS.

I ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE I'M FLOATING.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING.

IT'S LIKE I'M INSIDE OF A BUBBLE IN MY DREAM, RIGHT?

LIKE I'M WATCHING MYSELF, ALMOST.

AND I'M NOT EVEN AWARE OF WHAT I'M GONNA SAY,

OR WHAT I'M GONNA DO,

BECAUSE I'M JUST EMOTIONLESS RIGHT NOW.

LIKE, IT'S VERY, VERY HARD TO GRASP.

I JUST WANNA THANK MY FABULOUS FAMILY.

MY FANTASTICALLY BEAT TO DEATH SISTERS.

AND MY HUSBAND, VINCENT HERBERT.

I NEVER THOUGHT IN MY LIFE THAT I WOULD BE HERE,

AND THE ONLY REASON IS THAT

BECAUSE I ALMOST GAVE UP ON MYSELF,

AND I JUST WANNA LET YOU GUYS KNOW,

NO MATTER WHAT YOU WANNA BE AND NO MATTER WHO YOU WANNA BE,

DON'T GIVE UP ON YOU.

IT'S POSSIBLE.

I'M 36 YEARS OLD AND I'M PROUD OF IT.

AND I DON'T GIVE A DAMN IF I WAS 56,

SHE WAS NOT GONNA STOP.

POINT BLANK, END OF PERIOD.

JUST FOR THAT WONDERFUL TEN SECONDS OR 20 SECONDS I HAD,

I'MA TELL YOU SOMETHING, I WOULDN'T TRADE THAT,

BECAUSE IF I DON'T WIN ANOTHER AWARD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE,

THAT MOMENT WAS ALL WORTH IT.

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH, SO MUCH.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

OH, AND MY TAMARTIAN FRIENDS.

I'M SO HAPPY FOR TAMAR,

AND I'M CRYING AND MOMMY'S CRYING,

AND I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TIME TO FIND A TISSUE

BEFORE THEY CALLED HER NAME AGAIN.

WHOO-- "LOVE AND WAR," TAMAR BRAXTON.

AND I COULD TELL SHE'S A LITTLE SHOCKED, THOUGH.

I DON'T BLAME HER-- I WAS, TOO.

I'M NOT THAT MUCH OF A TALKER.

I KNOW Y'ALL THINK I'M LYIN'.

AND I JUST WANNA THANK YOU GUYS SO, SO, SO, SO MUCH.

OVERALL, THAT WHOLE NIGHT WAS GREAT, YOU KNOW?

IT'S JUST LIKE, YOU KNOW, MY WHOLE JOURNEY GETTING HERE,

IT WAS HARD.

I GAVE UP, BUT STILL KEPT GOING,

AND I GOT THE AMAZING PRIZE AT THE END OF THE NIGHT.

SO, IT WAS ALL WORTH IT.

LOGAN WANTS HIS FAVORITE AUNTIE TONI.

HERE I AM.

- CONGRATULATIONS. - THANK YOU, MOM.

HE SAID, "CONGRATULATIONS, MOMMY."

MOMMY WON AN AWARD TONIGHT.

YAY!

WHOO-HOO-- SAY, KISSES, MOMMY.

YOU GIVE MOMMY KISSES.

GIVE MOMMY KISSES.

YOU GONNA WAKE UP?

TAMAR WON THREE AWARDS AND I'M SO HAPPY FOR HER.

THERE'S SO MANY PARTIES GOING ON TONIGHT,

BUT WE'VE DECIDED US SISTERS JUST WANNA HANG OUT

IN THE HOTEL ROOM WITH LOGAN, AND HAVE A GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE

AND CHILL OUT TOGETHER.

AND THAT'S WHAT I CALL A CELEBRATION.

WE HAVE A LOT TO CELEBRATE.

NUMBER ONE, I WANNA SAY, TAMAR, CONGRATULATIONS.

- YES, CAN WE ? - BUT, I'M SORRY.

THERE IS SOMETHING THAT I HAVE TO SAY

ABOUT TAMAR'S NIGHT TONIGHT.

THAT'S-- GET MY PHONE, TRINA.

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH,

AND THANKS TO MY BIG SISTERS TONIGHT,

AND I JUST WANNA TELL ALL OF YOU...

THAT R&B IS NOT DEAD.

LIES-- I DIDN'T SAY THAT!

TRINA BE REALLY TRYIN' IT

AND SHE THINK SHE REAL DAMN CUTE,

YOU KNOW, IMITATING ME.

HOW Y'ALL GONNA SHADE ME AFTER I WIN MY AWARD?

THAT IS TERRIBLE. - THAT WASN'T SHADE.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS...

FOR A LONG TIME.

IT'S A LITTLE DRAMATIC.

IT'S A LITTLE DRAMATIC.

WE'RE NOT AT THE OSCARS.

IF YOU HAVE A DREAM...

LET YOUR DREAM COME TRUE. - LIES.

'CAUSE I NEVER REALLY EXPECTED IT.

AND IF I CAN DO IT, YOU CAN DO IT.

IF IT CAN COME TRUE FOR ME-- - LIES.

I WISH THEY'D PLAY IT AGAIN, 'CAUSE YOU SAID IT.

THAT IS NOT WHAT SHE SAID.

IT CAN COME TRUE FOR ALL OF YOU.

ALL THE LIES THAT YOU TELL.

I AM 36 YEARS OLD.

I AM NOT ASHAMED TO SAY THAT.

- I DIDN'T SAY THAT. - I'M 36 YEARS OLD.

- YES, YOU DID! - YEAH, YOU DID.

- I SAID, I AIN'T ASHAMED? - YES!

- YES, YOU DID. - I AIN'T.

YOU SAID, "I DON'T GIVE A DAMN IF I WAS 56."

- YES! - I DID?

WELL...

NO, TAMAR DIDN'T LIKE IT, BUT SHE KNEW IT WAS THE TRUTH.

GO ON AND LAUGH, WENCH-- GO ON AND LAUGH.

YOU KNOW THAT WAS FUNNY.

I LAUGHED.

MAYBE TRINA THOUGHT IT WAS CUTE,

BUT TAMAR DIDN'T SEE ANY HUMOR IN IT.

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH.

WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT HER LIKE THAT?

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I-I-I BELIEVE SOME OF IT.

TRINA'S IMITATION OF TAMAR'S ACCEPTANCE SPEECH

WAS PRETTY ACCURATE.

"AND IT'S JUST"...

SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW,

SHE TAKES ON DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES.

TRINA, YOU LOST A LITTLE WEIGHT.

STAND UP-- I CAN TELL BY YOUR ARMS.

- AND WAIST. - THANKS FOR NOTICING.

YEAH, YOU HAVE LOST A LITTLE BIT.

- YES, I LOST A LOT BIT. - A LOT BIT?

- A LOT OF BIT. - LIKE, TEN POUNDS?

NO, LIKE, 20.

TONI, DON'T YOU MISS CHAMPAGNE?

- YOU LOST 20 POUNDS? - YES.

- YOU GAINED 40 POUNDS? - I GAINED 65.

WE'RE GONNA-WE'RE GONNA-WE'RE GONNA STAY WITH THAT.

NO, I DON'T MEAN-- THAT SOUNDS SHADY.

YOU HAVE 20 MORE TO DO. - I BEG YOUR PARDON?

- THAT'S A PALM TREE, GIRL. - THAT IS NOT A PALM TREE.

YES, IT IS-- THAT'S A REAL PALM TREE.

TRINA, WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO BE 20 POUNDS SMALLER

FROM WHERE YOU ARE NOW?

NO.

TWENTY-FIVE?

COMING UP ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL,

WHO'S THE SHADIEST BRAXTON OF THEM ALL?

TONI.

AND THEN WE COULD DO A GOSPEL ALBUM.

- WHO'S WE? - EVERYBODY.

A REAL PALM TREE.

TRINA, WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO BE 20 POUNDS SMALLER

FROM WHERE YOU ARE NOW?

NO.

TWENTY-FIVE?

BUST HER, TRINA.

TRINA NEEDS TO LOSE ABOUT 20 POUNDS.

I'M SORRY, IT'S TRUE.

MAYBE 30.

YOU ARE NOT BIPOLAR, YOU ARE TRIPOLAR,

'CAUSE YOU'RE TRYING ME RIGHT NOW.

- I'M JUST SAYIN'. - YOU'RE TRYING ME.

MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL,

WHO'S THE SHADIEST BRAXTON OF THEM ALL?

TONI, TONI, SHE IS.

I'M THE SHADIEST BRAXTON?

OH, MY-- TAMAR, OOH-OOH.

NO, MA'AM-- I THINK THAT IT'S TAMAR.

TAMAR HAS TO BE THE SHADIEST BRAXTON.

SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE IN SHADY ANONYMOUS,

OR WHATEVER THE CRAP THAT SHE SAID SHE WAS IN,

AND SHE'S OBVIOUSLY NOT IN THAT

IF SHE'S GONNA MAKE THAT STATEMENT.

I'M NOT THE SHADIEST-- TAMAR'S THE SHADIEST.

TAMAR, YOU KNOW YOU'RE THE SHADIEST.

DID YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT ACCEPTING YOUR AWARDS?

- UM, I DON'T REMEMBER. - WELL, YOU SOUNDED GREAT.

- . - YOU SOUNDED GREAT.

IT WAS REALLY GOOD-- IT WAS GREAT.

SOMETIMES YOU MISS YOUR MOMENTS

BECAUSE YOU FORGET TO ENJOY THEM.

I KEEP TELLING YOU THAT YOU HAVE TO ENJOY YOUR MOMENTS.

WELL, THE GREATEST PART ABOUT IT THAT I WILL REMEMBER

IS THAT ALL OF Y'ALL WAS HERE FOR IT.

OF COURSE-- ABSOLUTELY.

THAT IS THE ONLY THING I NEED TO REMEMBER.

- TOWANDA? - YES?

WHAT'S THESE-- EARRINGS?

YEAH.

TRACI GAVE ME THOSE. - DID SHE?

LET'S SEE. - YOU DON'T REMEMBER?

SHE WANTED TO WEAR 'EM FOR THE "SOUL TRAIN" AWARDS.

- ARE YOU SERIOUS? - I SAID, "TRACI...

"THEY'RE TOO BIG." - SHE CAN'T DO THAT.

THAT'S WAY TOO BIG.

I'M SORRY-- I'M JUST SO CONCENTRATED ON THIS.

IT'S LIKE...

YEAH, THEY'RE REAL KIND OF...

I SAID, "TRACY, YOU CAN'T WEAR THESE."

SHE WANTED TO WEAR THESE BIG OLD EARRINGS.

NO!

AFTER THE "SOUL TRAIN" AWARDS, IN VEGAS,

WE ALL CAME BACK TO L.A., SINCE IT'S SO CLOSE BY.

I INVITED TRACI AND TOWANDA OVER

TO HELP ME CLEAN OUT MY CLOSET,

AND I USUALLY LIKE TO DONATE SOME OF MY STUFF,

BUT I LIKE TO GIVE MY SISTERS FIRST PICK.

I WAS GONNA GIVE THIS ONE TO TAMAR.

YOU THINK SHE'D WEAR THIS? - IT LOOK LIKE, UM,

THE CHURCH MOTHER OR SOMETHING.

BUT IT'S COUTURE-- YOU KNOW TAMAR LOVES FASHION.

YOU DON'T THINK SHE LIKE IT.

THAT'S WHY YOU HANGING IT BACK UP.

I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO PUT THIS TO THE SIDE,

BECAUSE I WANT TO SHOW HER WHAT HER BIG SISTER--

OH, SO THAT MEANS YOU AND TAMAR ARE TALKING BETTER NOW?

YAY.

YOU KNOW I LOVE MY LITTLE BABY.

- BUT-- - I GOTTA TALK TO HER

BECAUSE I LOVE MY LITTLE BABY.

- HAVE YOU TALKED TO HER YET? - NO.

WELL, Y'ALL HAVE TO GET TOGETHER AND TALK.

IN VEGAS, EVERYBODY WAS REALLY CIVIL AND NICE,

BUT I ALSO HEARD THAT TOWANDA SAID SOMETHING

ABOUT THE SISTERS NOT GETTING ALONG.

SO I THOUGHT IT WAS TIME THAT WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT IT.

- HEY, TRACI! - HEY, TRACI!

THANK GOD! - PERFECT TIMING-- KISSES.

I AM GOING THROUGH MY CLOSET.

SHE'S GETTING RID OF SHOES,

SO YOU MIGHT WANNA TRY SOME ON.

SO, I ONLY-I GOT THESE.

THESE ARE THE ONES WE'RE GIVING AWAY.

HERE, TRACI, TRY THESE ON.

I LIKE FOR THINGS TO BE ORGANIZED,

AND MY SHOES SHOW MY PERSONALITY A BIT.

AND WHEN I SEE 'EM ALL TOGETHER,

AND THEY'RE COLOR CODED AND THERE'S A PICTURE,

IT MAKES ME HAPPY 'CAUSE IT LETS ME KNOW

I'M A LITTLE BIT IN CONTROL OF MY LIFE.

'CAUSE, SOMETIMES, I FEEL LIKE I'M LOSING CONTROL A BIT,

SOMETIMES, WITH WORK.

- THEY MAY-- HOLD ON. - TRACI, THAT'S--

IT-IT'S HANGING OFF.

IT LOOKS LIKE BREAD. - TRACI!

NO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT. - LOOKS LIKE A LOAF OF BREAD.

IT'S HANGING OUT ON THE SIDE-- TRACI.

OKAY, IF I PUT IT DOWN LIKE THIS-- HOW ABOUT THAT?

TAKE THEM OFF-- THEY'RE TOO SMALL.

I WILL BE CINDERELLA'S STEPSISTER

AND CUT OFF MY TOES AND HEELS.

I'M GONNA FIT ONE OF THESE PAIRS OF SHOES.

I'M LETTIN' YOU KNOW WHAT.

HOW-DID YOU HEAR, TOWANDA AND TAMAR?

I'M GONNA MAKE THEM TWO TALK.

THEY GOTTA TALK, DON'T THEY? - YEAH.

YOU AND TAMAR WENT THROUGH IT, LIKE,

TWO YEARS AGO, A YEAR AND A HALF AGO NOW.

YOU AND TAMAR.

WELL, YOU KNOW, SHE APOLOGIZED TO ME.

- SEE? - DID SHE SAY, "IF?"

SHE SAID, "IF," BUT SHE DID APOLOGIZE.

I MEAN, TELL ME WHAT THE "IF" MEANS?

SHE SAID, "IF I'VE DONE ANYTHING TO HURT YOU,

OR "IF I'VE HURT YOU."

THAT'S NOT AN APOLOGY.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU DON'T TALK TO ME.

BUT, IF I HAVE HURT YOU AND OFFENDED YOU,

I APOLOGIZE.

TAMAR IS STILL BEING A LITTLE BRATTY.

I KNOW, BUT TAMAR MIGHT GET ON YOUR NERVES SOMETIMES,

BUT WE LOVE EACH OTHER ALL THE TIME.

- OH, ABSOLUTELY. - SO...

I LOVE HER-- I JUST DON'T LIKE HER RIGHT NOW.

THAT'S HONEST!

MAYBE JUST SHOULD BE Y'ALL TWO.

DID YOU DO THAT-DID THEY TALK LIKE THAT LAST TIME?

LET'S GO BACK-- YES, WE DID.

- IT WAS JUST Y'ALL TWO? - YES, WE DID.

AND SHE LEFT BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T LIKE

HEARING THE THINGS THAT I HAD TO SAY.

WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN THE ONES TO SUPPORT

EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US, PERIOD.

WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT BEING SUPPORTIVE RIGHT NOW,

BECAUSE LET ME TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED.

I JUST TOLD YOU WHAT THE 100% TRUTH IS.

- THAT WASN'T THE REALITY. - I LOVE YOU,

BUT I CAN'T DO THIS. - OF COURSE YOU CAN'T.

WE CAN LOCK HER IN A ROOM-- WE CAN FORCE HER TO TALK.

LET'S GO GET SOMETHING TO EAT.

I'M TIRED OF DOING THIS. - WHO'S COOKING?

TOWANDA CAN MAKE SOME CHICKEN.

OKAY.

AND THEN YOU THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU AND TAMAR

ARE GONNA TALK. - WAIT A MINUTE.

THAT-THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME WANNA THINK.

YEAH, LET'S GO GET SOME CHICKEN.

THAT-THAT AIN'T GOOD.

FRYING CHICKEN DON'T MAKE ME THINK.

I'M ALMOST OVER MY COLD, AND SOME CHAMPAGNE.

COME ON, COME ON.

IT'S GOOD. - COME ON, IT'S A GOOD THING.

HOW ABOUT TRACI COOK?

- NO. - NO, COME ON, TOWANDA.

I'LL MEET YOU DOWNSTAIRS.

I'M SO TIRED OF PEOPLE DESIGNATING ME

TO DO EVERY GOD DAGGONE THING.

TOWANDA GOTTA TALK.

TOWANDA GOTTA DO THIS.

TOWANDA GOTTA DO THAT.

I'M TIRED OF DOING EVERY GOD DAGGONE THING ALL THE TIME,

FOR EVERYBODY.

AND I'M NOT PUTTING THE SHOES AWAY.

YOU BETTER GET ONE OF YOUR ASSISTANTS.

I'M NOT YOUR ASSISTANT ANY MORE.

TOWANDA, SWITCH SEATS WITH ME.

I'LL SWITCH WITH MOMMY THEN. - TRACI'S SICK, TOO.

SHE AIN'T GOT NO VOICE-- I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THAT.

THAT'S THE ONLY REASON WHY I GET UP,

FOR YOU TO SIT BY ME.

NO, I'M JUST-I'M JUST LOOKIN' AROUND, LIKE,

, EVERYBODY'S SICK.

TAMIE, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR GRAMMY NOMINATION!

THANK YOU.

SO, GUESS WHO'S NOMINATED FOR THREE GRAMMYS?

SHE IS.

WHAT IF YOU LOSE-- THAT'S NOT FUN.

BUT YOU'RE NOMINATED.

THAT'S REALLY A BIG DEAL, TO BE NOMINATED.

YEAH, IT IS A BIG DEAL-- IT'S A BIG DEAL.

- IT'S A HUGE DEAL. - BECAUSE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE

GRAMMY NOMINEE, TAMAR BRAXTON.

- GRAMMY NOMINATED ARTIST. - FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

HERE, HOLD ONE OF MINE,

SO YOU CAN SEE HOW IT'S GONNA FEEL.

- ALL RIGHT! - ALL RIGHT.

NO, I DON'T WANNA DO IT-- I DON'T WANNA DO IT.

- I CAN'T-I CAN'T REACH 'EM. - I DON'T WANNA DO IT.

SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP TONI BEFORE SHE BREAK THOSE THINGS.

- CAN EACH OF US HOLD ONE? - LOOK-LOOK AT TONI--

SHE'S JUMPING UP TO GET 'EM.

- OKAY, GET THE R&B ONE. - YOUR SISTER'LL GET IT.

GET THE R&B ONE.

CAN EACH OF US HOLD ONE,

SO WE CAN SEE WHAT IT FEELS LIKE?

OKAY, Y'ALL BE THE MODELS THAT COME AND BRING 'EM OUT.

I WILL.

THE NOMINEES FOR BEST R&B PERFORMANCE...

TAMAR BRAXTON.

I DON'T KNOW THE OTHERS.

AND THE OTHERS.

AND THE WINNER IS...

TAMAR BRAXTON!

DON'T POINT YOUR BUTT TO THE AUDIENCE.

I PROMISE, I GOTTA LET 'EM SEE THE WHOLE OUTFIT.

YOU CAN'T PUT YOUR BUTT TO THE AUDIENCE.

OH, OH, OH, OH!

- I'M FIRST, I'M FIRST. - SHE BE DOING LIKE THIS.

YOU'D BE NOMINATED, TOO.

OOH, OOH.

- DON'T DO THAT. - OKAY, I'LL STAND IN HERE.

HOLD IT FOR ME, GIRL.

AND THE SECOND GRAMMY GOES TO...

- AH! - TAMAR BRAXTON!

SHE WON AN AWARD EARLIER THIS EVENING.

OH, OH, OH, OH!

AND THE THIRD GRAMMY GOES TO TAMAR BRAXTON!

TAMAR BRAXTON HAS WON TWO PRIOR GRAMMIES

EARLIER THIS EVENING.

CONGRATULATIONS TO HER. - OH, MY GOD.

OKAY, HAVE A SEAT.

- IF YOU BOUNCE IT LIKE THAT. - HAVE A SEAT.

- AND YOU POP IT ON BACK. - HAVE A SEAT,

'CAUSE I DON'T NEED YOU-- - TO YOUR MANAGER,

YOU MIGHT BE HERE, TOO.

SIT DOWN, TAMAR.

GOOD JOB.

TAMAR'S GRAMMY NOMINATIONS,

THAT'S GOING TO TURN HER HEAD INTO A HOT AIR BALLOON.

I'M PROUD OF HER.

IT'S JUST GONNA BE KIND OF DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH

TAMAR AND HER HEAD.

GRAMMY NOMINATED ARTIST.

GO AHEAD AND SAY IT. - IT MEANS YOU'RE A WINNER.

- TRY IT. - SAY IT.

IT FEELS SO GOOD.

'CAUSE SHE'S SCARED SHE MIGHT JINX IT.

WHEN I AM, I'M GONNA SAY IT.

HOW ARE YOU GONNA SAY IT, TRINA?

HI, MY NAME IS TRINA,

AND I'M A GRAMMY NOMINATED ARTIST.

NOT THE HAND-- YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

YOU GOTTA PUT THAT HAND DOWN, GIRL.

- THE-THE HAND STAYS. - IT'S A DISTRACTION.

GUESS WHAT-- THE HAND IS A PART OF MY BODY.

. - MY FOOT IS PART OF MY BODY.

OH, WAIT-- BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH.

AND THEN WE COULD DO A GOSPEL ALBUM.

WHO'S WE?

COMING UP ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

I AM NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT THIS BEHAVIOR ANYMORE

IN MY LIFE. - WHAT BEHAVIOR?

- THAT'S NOT COOL. - WHAT BEHAVIOR, TOWANDA?

- THIS BEHAVIOR. - WHAT IS "THIS BEHAVIOR?"

THIS.

TONI SING HER SONGS.

TAMAR SANG HER SONG ANOTHER NIGHT.

TRINA SANG HER LITTLE BASKETBALL RECORDS.

AND, YOU KNOW, THEN WE HAVE, LIKE--

OH, DID A TREE JUST GROW FROM YOUR MOUTH?

- THAT'S SHADE. - A TREE HAS GROWN,

AND LEAVES. - THAT IS SHADE.

"GAME TIME"-- BASKETBALL RECORDS.

- THAT WAS SHADE, GIRL. - GAME TIME

GAME TIME

GAME TIME

GAME-- NO SHADE! - OKAY, OKAY.

I LIKE DOING GAME TIME!

GAME TIME

G-G-GAME TIME

I-I THINK A LE-A LEAF JUST CAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH

WHILE YOU WERE TALKING. - NO!

YOU SAID-- I'MA TELL YOU WHAT YOU SAID.

- G-GAME TIME - TONI CAN SING HER SONGS.

I CAN SING MY SONGS.

TRINA CAN SING HER LITTLE BASKETBALL S--

I LIKE THE BASKETBALL SONG.

GAME TIME - NO-NO.

NO, LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY.

GAME TIME

TRINA CAN SING HER LITTLE BASKETBALL--

THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEAN-- DON'T DO THAT.

- PUT THAT HAND DOWN, GIRL. - THE-THE HAND STAYS.

- IT'S A DISTRACTION. - GUESS WHAT?

THE HAND IS A PART OF MY BODY.

. MY FOOT IS PART OF MY BODY.

OH, WAIT-- BLAH-BLAH-BLAH.

AND THEN WE COULD DO A GOSPEL ALBUM.

- WHO'S WE? - EVERYBODY.

YOU NAME NAMES.

TONI TRACI TOWANDA TRINA TAMAR AND MISS E

I WANT YOU TO SIGN SOMETHING RIGHT HERE,

RIGHT NOW.

THEN WE COULD BE NOMINATED FOR A-A-A GOSPEL GRAMMY.

I KNOW YOU GOT SOME LEGAL PAPER OVER HERE.

WAIT A MINUTE. - OH, SHE WRITIN' IT DOWN.

SHE WANT PAPER.

I'M NOT SURE WHY I WANNA TRY THIS AGAIN.

I WILL JUST TELL YOU THAT TAMAR HAS THE KNIFE TO MY THROAT.

SHE'S BEEN REMINDING ME OF THIS FOR YEARS AND YEARS.

WE NEED TO DO A SISTERS GOSPEL ALBUM.

AND SHE IS RIGHT, IT'S TIME,

AND I THINK THIS MAY BE THE BEST TIMING.

I'VE BECOME PROFESSIONAL AND I WANT YOU TO WRITE,

"I, TONI D. BRAXTON"... - MOVE YOUR--

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. - "DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR"...

"I, TONI D. BRAXTON, SOLEMNLY"...

HOW DO YOU SPELL THAT? - THERE'S NO 'D'.

- S-O-L-E-M-N-L-Y. - THAT'S NOT LEGAL.

YOU'D HAVE TO SAY "TONI M"-- NOT 'D'.

I DIDN'T SAY 'D'-- I SAID "THE."

- OH, "THE." - ALL RIGHT.

NOW I'M GONNA BE AS SHADE-FREE AS I CAN.

JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT I'M TRYING HERE, OKAY?

SO, IN THE PAST,

IT'S BEEN REAL HARD TO GET THE BRAXTON GIRLS

TO DO ANYTHING TOGETHER, 'CAUSE NUMBER ONE--

DON'T NOBODY LIKE TO PRACTICE.

TOWANDA'S LEAVING.

TOWANDA, DO YOU HONESTLY FEEL LIKE

YOU'RE READY FOR THIS PERFORMANCE?

NUMBER TWO-- WE CAN'T AGREE ON NOTHING.

BECAUSE IT'S SOME BULLCRAP!

AND NUMBER THREE-- DON'T NOBODY LIKE TO PRACTICE.

WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF REHEARSAL.

WE ARE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF REHEARSAL.

OKAY, THEN WHO ARE WE TALKING TO?

BUT WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO?

AN INTRICATE PART OF BEING AN ARTIST...

PRACTICE.

TRINA, WHY DON'T YOU WRITE THIS FOR ME?

NO-NO-NO, THIS HAS TO BE YOUR--

- I'LL SIGN IT. - NUH-UH-UH, THIS IS--

NO, YOU WILL WRITE IT,

'CAUSE I DON'T WANT ANYBODY SAYING THAT YOU WERE IN DURESS,

AND SOMEBODY WROTE IT FOR YOU, AND-- NOPE.

- YOU WAS UNDER PRESSURE. - NUH-UH-UH.

YOU WRITE IT YOURSELF.

YOU HAVE TO BE VERY SPECIFIC WITH THIS ONE.

SHE'S VERY SLICK.

SLICK AS HEN PISS-- THE FRESH KIND.

OKAY, I DID IT.

YOU READ IT, TAMAR.

"I, TONI D. BRAXTON, SOLEMN"...

IS THAT HOW YOU SPELL "SOLEMNLY?"

- YES. - YES.

HERE, LET ME GET THAT PEN,

'CAUSE I-I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SPELLED CORRECTLY.

- IT'S SPELLED RIGHT. - IT IS SPELLED RIGHT.

THERE-THERE'S AN 'N' IN IT, ACTUALLY.

IT IS.

"I, TONI D. BRAXTON, REALLY DO SWEAR

"THAT I WILL DO"...

NO, YOU HAVE TO PUT "RECORD," BABY.

WHAT-- YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT ALL THAT STUFF IN.

"A GOSPEL CD.

"INSPIRATIONAL OR WHATEVER."

WHAT?

WHATEVER KIND OF NAME IS ON IT.

- WHATEVER GENRE IT'S CALLED? - YES, THANK YOU.

- ALL RIGHT. - "WITH MY SISTERS"...

I PUT MOMMY DOWN FOR ONE SONG.

- ONE? - MAYBE.

FIRST, I NEED YOU TO PUT YOUR INITIALS

ON ALL THE THINGS THAT'S IN PARENTHESIS, PLEASE, FIRST.

AND THEN WE'LL ALL SIGN IT, STARTING WITH TRACI.

I DON'T THINK THAT SIGNING THIS CONTRACT

IS GONNA HELP PREVENT ANYBODY FROM HAVING DISAGREEMENTS,

OR AN INDIVIDUAL OR TWO TO SAY THAT

THEY DON'T WANNA DO THIS ANYMORE.

I...

THAT JUST SAY "T. BRAXTON."

IT-THAT'S HOW I SIGN MY NAME ON MY CHECKS AND EVERYTHING.

NO, MA'AM-- NO, MA'AM, SIR.

CHANGE THAT.

HEY, IF THAT'S THE ONE SHE'S GOT AT THE BANK,

I'LL TAKE IT.

IT'S BEEN SO HARD IN THE PAST TO GET ALL OF US TOGETHER

TO DO A SISTERS BRAXTON'S GOSPEL ALBUM.

AND A LOT OF IT IS, I WOULD TELL THE GIRLS,

"OKAY, I'M AVAILABLE TO DO TWO OR THREE SONGS,"

AND THAT WASN'T ENOUGH FOR TAMAR.

SO, IT'S GONNA BE INTERESTING

SEEING HOW TAMAR IS GONNA MAKE HER SCHEDULE WORK

IN ALL OF THIS.

"I MEAN, I CAN'T DO IT-- I'M TOO BUSY RIGHT NOW."

IT'S GONNA BE A LOT OF THAT.

"SHE-HER-ME-SHE-HER-- SHE'S BOOKED."

DEFINITELY.

NOW THE GRAMMY'S FEEL THIS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT

BECAUSE WE HAVE TILL THE NEXT GRAMMIES

TO COMPLETE OUR ALBUM. - LOOK AT GOD.

I REALLY DO HOPE IT WORKS OUT

BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE ME AND MY SISTERS NEED THIS

FOR OUR SISTERHOOD, YOU KNOW?

WE NEED SOMETHING THAT WE CAN SAY WE DID TOGETHER

AND DID SUCCESSFULLY.

YOU KNOW, WHERE, YOU KNOW,

WE ALL PUT OUR TALENTS TOGETHER

AND WORKED TOGETHER IN HARMONY.

ALL RIGHT, ALL DONE.

HI, LADIES.

- HI. - HELLO.

- IS THAT A COCKTAIL LIST? - THERE YOU GO.

I ASKED TOWANDA AND TAMAR TO MEET ME FOR DINNER TONIGHT,

IN HOPES OF SQUASHING THIS BEEF BETWEEN THEM,

ONCE AND FOR ALL.

WELL, HOW'S LOGAN? - LOGAN'S THE PERFECT BABY.

HE IS A GOOD BABY.

- HE'S FUN. - WANNA HAVE ANOTHER ONE?

NO, BECAUSE I PROBABLY WILL HAVE SATAN'S REVENGE.

WHAT, A GIRL?

A REAL BADASS CHILD, AND I CAN'T DEAL.

WELL, GIRLS, I BROUGHT US ALL TOGETHER FOR A KUMBAYA.

FOR A LITTLE COME TO JESUS.

COMING UP ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

YOU-YOU NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE.

I CAN'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BEING SO BEAT.

- NO-NO-NO-NO. - I CAN HELP OUT,

BUT I CAN'T BE RESPONSIBLE.

I CAN'T HELP THAT I'M SKINNY AND YOU'RE NOT.

WELL, GIRLS, I BROUGHT US ALL TOGETHER FOR A KUMBAYA.

FOR A LITTLE COME TO JESUS.

WE HAVE NOT BEEN GETTING ALONG AS WELL AS WE NORMALLY DO,

AND THAT'S NOT COOL.

IT'S BEEN TENSE, AND WE KNOW IT HAS.

- JUST IN TIME. - OOH!

SAVED BY THE LIBATION.

I'M GLAD WE, YOU KNOW, FINALLY DECIDED TO SIT DOWN

AND GET OUR LIFE BECAUSE I'M OVER IT, THE DRAMA.

YOU WENT ON AND YOU WAS LIKE,

"WE DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER RIGHT NOW,"

AND PEOPLE ARE TAKING THAT TO A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL.

YEAH, THAT-I'M KINDA CONFUSED.

I MEAN, THAT HURT MY FEELINGS, TOO.

WHY IT HURT YOUR FEELINGS?

WHEN YOU STANDING THERE WITH THE REST OF YOUR SISTERS,

AND EVERYBODY'S SMILING AND EVERYBODY'S COOL, RIGHT?

I'M JUST LIKE...

YOU CAN ONLY BE TALKING ABOUT ME OR TONI,

AND I KNOW YOU AIN'T TALKING ABOUT TONI.

WERE YOU TALKING ABOUT TONI?

NO.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT,

WHEN SHE SAYS THE SISTERS DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER RIGHT NOW.

DOES THAT MEAN THE SISTERS DON'T LIKE ME?

BECAUSE I LIKE MY SISTERS.

MATTER OF FACT, I LOVE MY SISTERS.

WHEN THEY CALLED MY NAME AT TH-THE "SOUL TRAIN' AWARDS,

YOU AND THE GIRLS CAME UP TO HUG ME,

AND THEN TOWANDA, YOU WERE THERE, TOO.

WELL, DAMN, I CAN'T EVEN GET YOUR ASS ON THE PHONE, SHORTY.

I AGREED TO COME

BECAUSE I AM VERY INTERESTED IN KNOWING WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

I DON'T REALLY DEAL WITH TOWANDA.

I DON'T TALK TO HER. - THAT'S NOT TRUE.

WELL, IT'S NOT MY FAULT, YOU KNOW?

- OH, IT'S NEVER, YOU KNOW-- - I DON'T TALK TO HER.

- IT'S ALWAYS EVERYONE ELSE. - AND IT'S BECAUSE--

FIRST OF ALL, IT'S EMBARRASSING AS HELL

TO ARGUE ANYWHERE WITH YOUR SIBLING.

LIKE, WHO WANTS TO-- FIRST OF ALL,

I'M VERY UNBEAT AND I'M SO UNBOTHERED.

LIKE, I'M NOT MESSING UP MY HAIR.

SHE'S BEAT AND SHE'S UNBOTHERED.

WELL, WHAT SHE SHOULD SAY IS, SHE'S A NARCISSIST.

I CAN'T TALK TO A NARCISSISTIC PERSON.

I CAN'T, BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS CONTINUOUSLY

GONNA BE ABOUT THEM.

- NO, IT'S NO SHADE. - SEE, THAT KIND OF STUFF--

THAT KIND OF TALK'S NOT NECESSARY.

- NO, IT IS VERY NECESSARY. - THAT IS A TREE, TAMAR.

NO, IT'S NOT.

I JUST CHOOSE TO BE A BEAT, UNBOTHERED BITCH.

I'M NOT GONNA ARGUE WITH ANYBODY.

BUT THAT'S SOMETHING YOU SAY TO OUTSIDERS.

THAT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU SAY TO YOUR SISTERS.

NO, IT'S NO-- WELL, TO WHOMEVER.

- BUT THIS IS NOT COOL. - THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.

AND LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

YOU CAN'T HAVE POSITIVITY, IF YOU LIVE IN THE NEGATIVITY.

I'M NOT INTERESTED IN THAT.

I WORK TOO HARD IN MY CAREER AND IN MY LIFE

TO HAVE THINGS WHERE, YOU KNOW,

GOD HAS CHOSEN TO BLESS ME AND FLOURISH ME WITH BLESSINGS,

AND YOU CAN'T GET NONE OF THAT BEING NEGATIVE

AND HATIN' ON PEOPLE.

I'M SORRY.

HASHTAG, YOU'RE LATE.

HASHTAG, YOU'RE ALWAYS GONNA BE IN THE SAME SITUATION

YOU WAS IN THREE YEARS AGO, IF YOU'RE STILL NEGATIVE, OKAY?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.

I AM NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT THIS BEHAVIOR ANYMORE

IN MY LIFE. - WHAT BEHAVIOR?

- THAT'S NOT COOL. - WHAT BEHAVIOR, TOWANDA?

- THIS BEHAVIOR. - WHAT IS "THIS BEHAVIOR?"

- THIS. - WHAT, WHAT?

YOUR BEHAVIOR-- THE DISRESPECT.

I'M NOT DOING THAT ANYMORE. - WHAT IS DISRESPECTFUL?

OH, MY GOD.

AT THIS MOMENT IN MY LIFE, I HAVE CREATED BOUNDARIES,

AND I'M NOT GOING TO TOLERATE CERTAIN THINGS IN MY LIFE.

AND AS I TOLD TAMAR,

I'M NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT THE TANTRUMS.

I'M NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT, YOU KNOW,

YOU THROWING THE STONES, AND YOU--

I'M NOT JUST WILLING TO DO THAT ANYMORE.

YOU-YOU NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE THINGS THAT YOU DO

AND THE THINGS THAT YOU SAY. - SUCH AS WHAT?

PERIOD.

I CAN'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BEING SO BEAT.

- NO-NO-NO-NO. - I CAN HELP OUT,

BUT I CAN'T BE RESPONSIBLE. - THAT'S NOT NECESSARY.

I CAN'T HELP THAT I'M SKINNY AND YOU'RE NOT.

- THAT'S NOT NECESSARY NEITHER. - BUT RIGHT NOW, RIGHT NOW--

BUT YOU'RE NOT-- BUT THE POINT IS, YOU'RE NOT.

I'M CURVACEOUS, BUT I'M NOT FAT.

- WAIT, TAMAR, BUT YOU'RE NOT. - TOWANDA, WAIT.

"OH, I'M FATTER THAN YOU AND YOU'RE FATTER THAN ME."

WELL, , I'M FATTER THAN BOTH OF Y'ALL, OKAY?

SO LET'S SQUASH IT-- NOW WHAT?

- BEAT AND THICK. - YEAH, AND THICK.

BE SURE YOU SAY IT, FATTY.

WHO CARES?

IT'S SO DUMB-- DO YOU HEAR YOURSELVES?

REWIND TAPE, LISTEN TO YOURSELVES.

IT SOUNDS DUMB.

FINISH IT.

I'M NOT A 14, SHE'S NOT A 10.

EXCUSE ME!

DAMN!

YOU CANNOT HEAR A PERSON

WHEN THEY'RE ACTING OR REACTING A CERTAIN WAY.

IT-IT'S JUST LIKE, YOU CAN'T DO IT.

EVERYBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO BE BEAT.

YOU SIT IN THE CHAIR LONG ENOUGH,

THEN YOU CAN BE BEAT, TOO.

GIRL, I GOTTA GO-- I'M BOOKED. - TAMAR, DON'T WALK AWAY.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE.

DON'T WALK AWAY-- THAT'S NOT COOL.

WELL, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE HAVE NOT

MADE ANY PROGRESS TONIGHT BECAUSE HASHTAG,

TOWANDA DOES NOT KNOW WHY SHE'S MAD.

OR HASHTAG, SHE AIN'T GOT THE,

YOU KNOW, THE BALLS TO TELL ME WHY SHE'S MAD.

OR HASHTAG, YOU JUST PLAIN OLD MAD.

TRINA, I'M NOT THE ROADRUNNER.

I'M NOT THE PROBLEM.

AND I'M TIRED OF WEARING THAT HAT.

I DON'T WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT HAT.

FAT, SKINNY, BEAT, PALM TREE, SHADE OR NOT.

I AIN'T DOIN' THIS.

I LOVE YOU-- KISS THE BABY.

PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST-- I GOT TO GO.

I WANNA PUT MY BABY TO SLEEP.

WELL, THAT WENT WELL.
