YOU WILL ALWAYS BE GRAMMY NOMINEE, TAMAR BRAXTON,

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

GUESS WHO'S NOMINATED FOR THREE GRAMMYS.

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

EVERYBODY, HERE ARE OUR BAR CHIX.

I NEED SHAKER TOPS FOR THE GIRLS.

I HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INVESTED IN THIS,

SO THIS BETTER BE A MAJOR SUCCESS,

OR I'LL BE DEVASTATED AND BROKE.

THEN, WE COULD DO A GOSPEL ALBUM.

- WHO'S "WE?" - EVERYBODY.

IT'S BEEN REAL HARD TO GET THE BRAXTON GIRLS

TO DO ANYTHING TOGETHER.

I AM NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT THIS BEHAVIOR, ANYMORE.

- WHAT BEHAVIOR? - THAT'S NOT COOL.

- WHAT BEHAVIOR, TOWANDA? - THIS.

YOUR BEHAVIOR. - WHAT?

TAMAR MIGHT GET ON YOUR NERVES, SOMETIMES.

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

THAT'S HONEST!

YOU HAVE TO FIND THE STRENGTH SOMETIME TO WALK ALONE,

EVEN THOUGH YOU FEEL YOUR SISTERS HAVE ABANDONED YOU.

BUT SOMETIMES, IT'S JUST TOO MUCH.

♪ 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, MOMMY. - HEY, GIRL.

HEY, YOU.

I HAVE A SMALL INKLING OF THE REASON THAT MOMMY

IS ASKING ME FOR LUNCH TODAY.

I THINK I HAVE AN IDEA.

- OH, GOOD. - OH, THANK YOU.

- I LOVE BEETS. - YOU CAN HAVE THE BEETS.

OKAY, I'LL TAKE ONE-- JUST ONE.

YEAH.

I FEEL THAT MOMMY HAS BEEN PERSUADED

TO COME AND TALK TO ME.

BUT I KNOW MOMMY AND TAMAR ARE SUPER TIGHT, RIGHT NOW,

SO, MAYBE THAT'S WHY.

WELL, HOW ARE THINGS GOIN' WITH YOU AND TAMIE?

WHAT YOU MEAN?

DID YOU ASK TAMAR?

HAVE YOU HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE OTHER GIRLS ABOUT IT?

NOT-NOT REALLY.

I WANTED TO CHECK WITH YOU FIRST.

- WHY? - WHY NOT?

I KNOW IT'S Y'ALL ISSUE, AND IT'S NOT MY ISSUE,

AND I SAID THAT.

Y'ALL-- - TO WHO?

I SAID THAT TO TAMAR.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT MY ISSUE.

Y'ALL FIX IT.

BUT, IT SEEM IT'S TAKIN' SO LONG.

I JUST DON'T THINK THAT IT'S COOL

THAT YOU ARE BEING PLACED IN THIS POSITION

TO BE IN THE MIDDLE.

IT'S NOT LIKE WE WOKE UP ONE DAY

AND THIS JUST POPPED UP AND HAPPENED.

THIS HAS BEEN-- - IT'S BEEN BREWING.

- RIGHT. - I DID STAND BACK AND WATCH,

AND LIFE IS TOO SHORT.

THAT'S ALL I'M SAYIN'.

YOU KNOW, TAMAR DID NOT ASK ME TO TALK TO TOWANDA.

THIS WAS ALL MY IDEA.

AS A PARENT, I'M TIRED OF SEEING THE DIVISION.

THIS IS A FAMILY, FOR GOD SAKES.

LET'S ACT LIKE IT.

TO ME, I WOULD BE LESS THAN A MOTHER NOT TO SAY,

"Y'ALL COME TOGETHER-- TALK ABOUT IT."

THIS IS MY CHOICE.

- TO BE PUT IN THE MIDDLE? - THIS IS MY CHOICE.

THAT'S NOT BEIN' IN THE MIDDLE.

YOU DON'T THINK SO, A LITTLE BIT?

- UH-UH, NO. - IT IS, TO ME.

NOT AT ALL, NOT AT ALL.

YEAH, A LITTLE BIT.

OKAY, I'M JUST GONNA SAY IT.

I KNOW I'M GONNA GET IN TROUBLE,

BUT I DON'T CARE RIGHT NOW.

I'M JUST GONNA SAY IT.

A PART OF ME REALLY FEEL THAT MY MOTHER IS TAKIN' A SIDE.

I MENTIONED IT TO TAMAR.

I INTEND TO SIT AND TALK TO BOTH OF YOU GUYS.

BUT, BECAUSE YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN THE ONE

THAT'S MORE RATIONAL, I'M JUST SAYIN'.

I'M NOT TRYIN' TO PUT FLOWERS OR WHAT HAVE YOU.

NOT MY FAULT YOU WAS ALWAYS LEVEL-HEADED.

THAT'S WHO YOU ARE.

I THINK TOWANDA FELT LIKE SHE WAS PUT ON THE SPOT,

AND I THINK SHE FELT LIKE

I FELT THAT SHE WAS THE PROBLEM.

THAT'S NOT THE CASE, AT ALL.

SHE JUST HAPPENED TO BE THE ONE

THAT I FELT LIKE I COULD GO TO.

COME ON, LET'S KEEP IT REAL.

YOU TAKE CARE OF A LOT OF MY BUSINESS.

YOU TAKE CARE OF A LOT OF MY BILLS.

WHATEVER PROBLEM I'M GOIN' THROUGH,

YOU'RE THERE TO HELP FIX THAT.

BUT THAT IS THE ONLY REASON

THAT I FELT LIKE I'M GONNA TALK TO TOWANDA FIRST.

I THINK TOWANDA WILL FOLLOW UP ON, UM,

THE SITUATION BETWEEN SHE AND TAMAR,

BUT I DON'T KNOW.

- OKAY. - NO, BUT GO AHEAD, FINISH.

NO, I'M GOOD.

NO, YOU'RE GETTIN' READY TO SAY SOMETHIN'.

NO, I'M NOT-- I'M GOOD.

- DON'T LET ME STOP YOU. - NO, I'M GOOD.

GO AHEAD-- CLEAR THIS.

I'M WAITIN' FOR A FORK AND KNIFE.

CAN I PLEASE GET A FORK AND KNIFE,

AND MY JUICE?

I MEAN, AND MY TEA.

I MEAN, MY LEMONADE.

FATHER, IN JESUS' NAME, THANK YOU FOR THE FOOD.

AMEN. - AMEN.

THAT WAS SHORT. - YEAH, THAT WAS SHORT.

THAT'S THE WAY MY MIND IS. - ON THE FOOD.

D'ANDRE, WHAT KIND OF DAY ARE WE GONNA HAVE TODAY?

TERRELL, WHAT KIND OF DAY ARE WE HAVING TODAY?

WHAT KIND OF DAY ARE WE HAVIN' TODAY?

LIES!

TODAY IS PRETTY MUCH THE BIGGEST DAY OF MY LIFE.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHERE IT ALL GETS REAL.

I'M AT THE 56th GRAMMY AWARDS,

WHERE I HAVE BEEN NOMINATED

FOR THREE AMAZING GRAMMY AWARDS.

EXCUSE ME, MR. JUAN PATRON.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE DOING TODAY?

NO, UH-HUH, UH-HUH.

UH-HUH, UH-HUH-- THIS IS A MANDATORY PARTY.

VINCE IS HAVING A GRAMMY PARTY TONIGHT

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A-A MAGICAL,

WONDERFUL MOMENT FOR ANY ARTIST,

AND I'M SUPER EXCITED.

WE'VE BEEN WORKIN' ALL YEAR FOR THIS.

WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WE WAS GONNA HAVE THIS.

WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY DURING GRAMMY SPEECHES?

HOW LONG THEY GIVE YOU-- A MINUTE?

AND I HAVE TO BE ON THE RED CARPET

IN EXACTLY AN HOUR FROM NOW, AND I'M NOT READY.

- LET ME SPRAY. - YOU SLICKIN' BACK?

I THOUGHT WE WAS DOIN' THE-- - DOIN' WHAT?

THAT ONE PICTURE WE JUST SAW.

YOU ARE NOT GONNA LET ME CUT YOUR HAIR.

YOU SAID YOU LIKE IT,

BUT YOU'RE NOT GONNA LET ME CUT YOUR HAIR.

WE HAVE 45 MINUTES. - WHAT PICTURE?

- DID YOU SEE IT? - ONE OF THE PICTURES

YOU DELETED THAT I SENT YOU LAST NIGHT,

BUT SHOULD WE DO SOMETHIN' FANCY IN THE FRONT?

SHOULD WE PUT, LIKE, A SINGLE WAVE IN THE FRONT

OR SOMETHING?

IT TAKE A LONG TIME TO DO THAT?

- TAMAR, YOU-- - I-I WAS JUST ASKIN'.

NO, IT DOESN'T TAKE A LONG TIME,

BUT SEE, THIS IS MY THING.

THIS IS WHAT I WAS HITTIN' EVERYONE UP ABOUT LAST NIGHT.

THIS MORNING, 6:00 CALL TIME,

SO WE CAN HAVE THESE CREATIVE MOMENTS.

EXACTLY-- WHAT WAS Y'ALL DOIN' AT 6:30?

NOT 30 MINUTES BEFORE WE WALK OUT.

- BUT THAT'S NOT MY FAULT. - TAMAR.

- YEAH? - I SENT OUT IMAGES,

SO WE CAN HAVE THESE MOMENTS.

WHEN I GOT THERE, I WAS TOLD THAT YOU WANT A BUN,

SO I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A BUN.

I WANT THIS TO BE A SICKENIN' MOMENT FOR YOU.

I WANT IT TO BE BEYOND SICK FOR YOU.

OH, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER-- THERE'S 30 MINUTES.

IT WAS OVER-- YOU KNOW, YOU WERE OVERWHELMED.

AND IF I CAN'T DO THIS CUT, WE'RE GONNA--

WHAT ABOUT A FISHTAIL?

ANYBODY EVER DO THE FISHTAIL ON THE RED CARPET?

- THIS HAIR ISN'T THAT LONG. - OKAY.

WELL, YOU KNOW, USUALLY,

WE HAVE A GANG OF MEETINGS BEFORE AN AWARDS SHOW,

OR APPEARANCE, OR WHATEVER.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO US, AND WE DID.

WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE CONFERENCE CALLS

ON WHAT WE-WHAT WE WANTED THE LOOK TO BE LIKE.

BUT, SOMETIMES, IT DOESN'T COME TOGETHER

UNTIL THE VERY LAST MOMENT, YOU KNOW?

I WOULD LOVE TO ROCK A SICK CUT ON YOU

THAT I COULD BE DONE IN 15-20 MINUTES.

- TERRELL? - I THINK IT LOOK FINE.

I THINK IT LOOK FINE. - BUT?

I JUST DON'T WANT YOU TO NOT LIKE IT,

AND THEN, YOU'RE STUCK WITH IT,

'CAUSE YOU GOT THIS WIG GLUED DOWN,

AND ONCE YOU CUT IT, THAT-THAT-THAT'S IT.

SO, LONG AS YOU'RE GONNA OWN IT, DO IT.

IT'S A SICK CUT.

- OKAY, DO IT. - I CAN CUT IT?

- SURE. - OKAY, I'M GONNA BE--

AH-- BUT WHAT IS-WHAT'S THAT DRESS GONNA LOOK LIKE

WITH A SHORT CUT, THOUGH? - IT'S GONNA LOOK SICK.

- OKAY. - OKAY, COOL.

NOT THAT I'M NOT UNDER ENOUGH STRESS, RIGHT?

Q. WANTS TO CUT MY BRAND NEW WIG.

MY BIGGEST CONCERN ABOUT CUTTIN' A WIG

IS THAT WE HAVE 45 MINUTES, AND IF I CUT IT,

AND IT'S CUT WRONG, I'M ASS OUT, OKAY?

I'M SCARED-- I NEED A XANAX.

- HOLD MY HAND. - I DON'T WANNA HOLD HANDS.

LET'S PRAY.

NO, Y'ALL SHOULD'VE BEEN PRAYIN' AT 6:00 THIS MORNIN'.

- YEAH. - YEAH.

THIS IS A VERY AMBITIOUS MOVE.

- DO I LOOK LIKE TOWANDA? - STOP TRYING TO PLAY ME.

NO. - I AIN'T PLAYING YOU.

I'M JUST SAYIN'.

LIKE, I HAVE ANXIETY, LIKE, FOR REAL.

I'M GONNA BE SICK. - I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE

THIS LOOKS GOOD WITH EVERY SHOULDER, EVERY ANGLE.

LET ME JUST MAKE SURE YOU'RE GOOD.

- CAN I LOOK AT IT OR NO? - NO, NO.

I'M SICK-- OH, MY STOMACH.

OH, JESUS, JESUS, JESUS!

HELL YEAH, I'M NERVOUS ABOUT HOW IT'S GONNA LOOK.

LIKE, WHO CUTS THEIR HAIR

RIGHT BEFORE THEY GO ON THE RED CARPET?

WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THIS.

I'M SCARED.

I GOTTA GIVE ME BABY STEPS WHEN IT COMES TO SHORT HAIR.

LIKE, FLAT IRON HOW-- LIKE, I FEEL LIKE I'M, YOU KNOW,

I DON'T-I DON'T, YOU KNOW.

YEAH, I DON'T-I THINK WE SHOULD FLAT IRON THE HAIR.

- NO, THIS, FOR ME, IS-- - YEAH.

IT'S GONNA TAKE FROM THIS MOMENT.

TAMAR, THE HAIR IS GREAT.

THE HAIR-- BABY, PLEASE DON'T THINK ABOUT YOUR HAIR.

FOCUS ON EVERYTHING ELSE-- YOUR HAIR IS FINE.

YOU ENTRUSTED ME TO DO IT-- PLEASE, LET ME JUST DO IT.

I LIKE THE-- I'M TELLING YOU, I'M GONNA FIGHT FOR THE FLAT.

I CAN'T BE CONFIDENT, IF I AIN'T--

I-I CAN'T BE SOLD ON OTHER PEOPLE'S STUFF.

I GOTTA BE SOLD ON ME.

YOU WANT ME TO-YOU WANT ME TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT?

YOU WANT IT TO BE STRAIGHT? - I-I THINK THE HAIR--

DO YOU WANT IT TO BE STRAIGHT?

'CAUSE NOW IS NOT-- IF YOU WANT IT STRAIGHT,

I NEED TO STRAIGHTEN IT-- DO YOU WANT IT STRAIGHT?

WHY-WHY-WHY EVERYBODY FLIPPIN' THE OUT ON ME?

WHY IS EVERYBODY FLIPPIN' THE OUT,

BECAUSE I HAVE A COMMENT ABOUT HOW THE

I'M GONNA WEAR MY HAIR?

I AIN'T NEVER HAD SHORT HAIR BEFORE,

SO THAT'S WHY I HAVE TO BE COMFORTABLE.

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

WHEN I GO TO GET IN THE SHOWER,

AND THE WATER IS BROWN,

I HAVE A PROBLEM. - I'M SORRY?

EXCUSE ME-- YES.

THIS NOMINATION IS VERY IMPORTANT.

THAT MEANS YOU SUNG YOUR DAMN FACE TO THE FLOOR.

AND THE WINNER IS...

DO YOU WANT IT STRAIGHT?

WHY-WHY-WHY EVERYBODY FLIPPIN' THE OUT ON ME?

WHY IS EVERYBODY FLIPPIN' THE OUT,

BECAUSE I HAVE A COMMENT ABOUT HOW THE

I'M GONNA WEAR MY HAIR?

I AIN'T NEVER HAD SHORT HAIR BEFORE,

SO THAT'S WHY I HAVE TO BE COMFORTABLE.

THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.

YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

I USUALLY TRUST MY TEAM

BECAUSE I KNOW THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOIN'.

THEY BETTER, 'CAUSE THEY'RE EXPENSIVE, RIGHT?

AND...

IT'S JUST REAL DIFFICULT RIGHT NOW,

BECAUSE I'M FRAZZLED.

I'M KINDA ALL OVER THE PLACE.

I'M NERVOUS AS HELL.

I DON'T KNOW IF MY OUTFIT GONNA BE RIGHT.

DID I LOSE ENOUGH WEIGHT?

WHAT'S THIS HAIR GONNA LOOK LIKE?

GIRL, LIKE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING, OKAY?

ARE THEY GONNA LIKE IT-- ARE THEY GONNA SLAM ME?

ANY-- I MEAN, JUST EVERYTHING.

IT'S A LOT, SO--

HEY, TAY, THE PEOPLE FROM "THE INSIDER"

LIKE, ALMOST HERE.

- Q. - RIGHT HERE.

YOU CAN TOUCH HER HAIR UP A LITTLE BIT

WHILE THE PEOPLE COME IN. - DUDE, I'M-I'M READY.

TERRELL, YOU CAN FAKE LIKE YOU'RE DOIN' SOME MAKEUP.

- HI. - HI.

HI.

- THANK YOU FOR LETTING US IN. - ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

THANK YOU.

SO, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED.

"INSIDER" LOVES THE BRAXTONS, AND WE DEFINITELY LOVE YOU,

SO WE HAD TO BE A PART OF THIS MOMENT WITH YOU.

NOW, YOU KNOW, LAST YEAR,

I DID A RIDE ALONG WITH MIGUEL,

AND HE WON. - YOU DID?

SO, I FEEL LIKE I MIGHT BE A GOOD LUCK CHARM.

THE THING I'M MOST NERVOUS ABOUT IS NOT WINNIN',

'CAUSE THAT'S A READ...

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT'S GONNA MEAN.

SO, THAT'S WHAT I'M NERVOUS ABOUT.

- LET'S SEE YOUR SHOES. - DO WE LIKE?

OKAY, YOU'RE CINDERELLA, FOR REAL, TONIGHT.

- ARE MY FEET ASHY? - NO, NO!

NO-NO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT.

OKAY.

WE GOT-I GOT SOME LOTION IN MY PURSE.

'CAUSE I WENT-I WENT SPRAY TANNING TODAY,

AND, SOMETIMES-- - YOU DID?

YES, THIS IS A TAN ON TOP OF A TAN.

YOU HAVE TO CREATE THE MOMENT.

WELL, SOMETIMES, WHEN AN ARTIST IS COMPLETELY FRAZZLED,

AND THEY HAVE A LOT GOIN' ON,

YOU HAVE TO REALLY TRUST YOUR TEAM.

AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT WE KINDA PULLED THE LOOK OFF

AT MY FIRST GRAMMY AWARDS.

'KAY.

THIS IS TO TAMAR-- TAMAR'S THREE WINS TONIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, THAT'S WHAT I'M FEELIN'.

MMM!

YEAH, WE'RE GONNA DO THIS-- OKAY, TAMAR'S RUNNING.

OKAY, SO WE'RE WAITING ON THE CAR.

IT'S STARTIN' TO RAIN A LITTLE BIT.

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN EATING BEFORE THIS?

WELL, I DID LOW CARBS.

SEE, MY GOAL IS REALLY TO BECOME VEGAN.

- OKAY. - BECAUSE, UM,

I'M REALLY TRYING TO HAVE A, UM, HOUSEHOLD

THAT'S COMPLETELY HEALTHY. - OKAY.

JUST FOR ME AND VINCE PURPOSES.

- RIGHT, RIGHT. - AND THEN,

TO INTRODUCE THAT TO LOGAN.

YOU LOOK OUT FOR YOUR MAN, GIRL.

YOU REALLY DO. - I DO, GIRL.

I HAVE TO-- WHO'S GONNA DO IT?

- YES, YES. - YOU KNOW,

CAN'T HAVE NO SCALLYWAG COMIN' AND TRYIN'.

CHILD, WHEN I TELL YA, I DONE BEEN THROUGH IT,

I DONE BEEN THROUGH IT.

VINCE GOT SICK,

AND WE REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN.

VINCE HAD TO GO TO NEW YORK FOR EMERGENCY SURGERY.

I MEAN, I PROMISE YOU,

I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO RECOVER...

TO GO TO THIS GRAMMY THING.

LIKE, I GOT BACK A DAY BEFORE THE GRAMMYS.

I GOT YOUR BACK-- I WAS CHECKIN'.

YOU NEED TO LOCK DOWN. - ARE WE READY?

THE GOOD NEWS IS, IS THAT, YOU KNOW,

VINCE IS BACK TO BEIN' VINCE,

AND HE FEELS GOOD ENOUGH TO GO AND EXPERIENCE THIS MOMENT

THAT I'VE BEEN WANTING ALL OF MY LIFE.

BEFORE YOU START, GIRL-- - MMM-HMM.

THE TISSUE UNDER MY ARMS IS A NECESSITY.

OKAY.

IT'S A BEAUTY SECRET.

IT'S NOT ATTRACTIVE IN THE CAR.

- OKAY. - HOWEVER,

YOU CAN'T WALK OUT OF THE CAR WITH A ARMPIT STAIN.

- YES, OKAY. - SO, THIS IS--

FOR ME, HAVING AN INTERVIEW WAS HELPFUL TO ME

BECAUSE IT TOOK MY MIND OFF OF EVERYTHING.

IT'S ALL GOOD FROM HERE ON OUT.

MY DRESS FITS.

MY HAIR TURNED OUT RIGHT.

MY FACE IS BEAT.

EVERYTHING ELSE IS A PLUS.

WHAT-WHAT DOES THE FEELING FEEL LIKE,

GETTING A GRAMMY NOMINATION?

DID YOU ACT CRAZY? - YES.

LIKE, WHAT-WHAT WAS THE REACTION?

VINCE IS NODDING "YES." - VINCE AND I BOTH,

WE WERE SCREAMING.

WE WERE SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF OUR LUNGS.

OKAY.

THREE GRAMMY NOMINATIONS IS, LIKE,

FOR A MAJOR ARTIST OR A MAJOR PRODUCER,

AND TO BE IN THAT LIGHT...

SHE'S MAJOR.

I DON'T HAVE A BIG HEAD OR ANYTHING.

- NOW, THIS IS TONI'S. - LITTLE, OLD,

VINTAGE JEWELRY PURSE.

- THIS IS HER-- - SEE, SHE GOT SKID MARKS

ON HER-- YOU WANNA SEE?

LIKE, RIGHT HERE.

AND I WAS WANTING TO GET THEM FILLED IN AND SHE WAS LIKE,

"GOD, NO." - NO, IT'S A GOOD LUCK CHARM.

YEAH, YEAH.

SHE GOES, LIKE, "NO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT."

- SHE TOOK THIS ON HER FIRST-- - ON HER FIRST GRAMMY WIN.

HER-- OKAY.

AND YOU WANNA KNOW SOMETHING ELSE, TOO?

AND THIS WAS NOT PURPOSELY DONE.

- RIGHT. - SHE WORE RED, TOO.

- OH-OH, SEE? - YEAH.

YOU'RE SETTIN' THIS UP-- YOU'RE FOLLOWING HER LEGACY.

I'M NOT-I'M NOT SETTING ANYTHING UP.

RED HAS BEEN MY ALBUM THEME COLOR FROM THE BEGINNING, OKAY?

EVEN FROM THE BEGINNING OF "LOVE AND WAR."

AND THEN, RED WAS THE COLOR DRESS THAT TONI WORE

WHEN SHE FIRST GOT ALL OF HER GRAMMYS.

SO, I WAS LIKE, OH, THIS MIGHT BE HER LUCKY COLOR.

LET'S GO.

THIS IS HOW YOU GO TO THE GRAMMYS.

SO, WE JUST GOT HERE, AND I AM VERY EXCITED

AND READY TO WALK THE RED CARPET.

LET'S GO-- I WANNA GET IT OVER WITH.

VINCE AND TAMAR HAVE ASKED THE BAR CHIX

TO BE THE OFFICIAL SERVERS AT THEIR GLAMOROUS GRAMMY PARTY.

THIS IS THE BIGGEST EVENT THE BAR CHIX HAVE HAD, SO FAR.

SO, I WANT IT TO BE PERFECT.

WAIT-WAIT-- DON'T HIT MY BUS.

DON'T HIT MY BUS, DON'T HIT MY BUS!

STAY-STAY WITH IT-- STAY WITH IT!

I BOUGHT A TOUR BUS FOR THE BAR CHIX

FOR SO MANY DIFFERENT REASONS.

I THOUGHT THAT THE TOUR BUS WOULD BE A BETTER WAY

TO HANDLE TRAVELING WITH THE GIRLS,

WITHOUT ALWAYS HAVING TO GET FLIGHTS,

BECAUSE I ALREADY OWN IT, AND IT'S A BUSINESS WRITE-OFF.

HUH?

WHAT ARE THEY SMOKIN'? - CIGARETTES.

MARVEL'S MAKEUP LOOKS AMAZING,

IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF.

YOU LOOK GOOD-- YOU LOOK HOT.

I FEEL LIKE I LOOK LIKE ELVIS PRESLEY.

CAN YOU LOOK UP?

I'M STRESSED TO HIGH CAPACITY.

I ALMOST FEEL LIKE I'M UP FOR A GRAMMY.

THIS IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT MOMENT, AND I'M NERVOUS.

SO, I'M LIKE, OH, MY GOD!

I'M-I'M ABOUT TO SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST RIGHT NOW.

LIKE, REALLY.

I'M GONNA CHECK ON THE GIRLS.

HELLO, DOLL. - HOW YA DOIN'?

HELLO, HELLO!

YOU GUYS READY?

HAVE A SEAT, HAVE A SEAT,

SO WE CAN HAVE A QUICK LITTLE MEETING OF THE MINDS.

THE BAR CHIX HAVE BEEN TRAVELING FOR TWO DAYS,

ON THE BUS, FROM ATLANTA.

I WAS UNABLE TO RIDE THE TOUR BUS WITH THE GIRLS,

SO I DECIDED TO HAVE A STAFF MEETING.

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE PREPARED FOR THE EVENING

AND THAT THEY WEREN'T AS NERVOUS AS I WAS.

I CANNOT EXPRESS ENOUGH...

THE IMPORTANCE OF TONIGHT.

I NEED YOU TO PUT ON SOME EYE-LINER...

AND SOME COLOR.

SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANY ON THE BOTTOM.

YOU LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE A LOT OF POWDER ON.

BUT, YOU AIN'T DONE YET? - NO, I HAVE A LOT ON.

I CAN-I CAN FIX IT.

MY BIGGEST CONCERNS FOR THE GRAMMY PARTY

IS THAT MY STAFF MIGHT NOT BE READY

FOR SUCH A HIGH-PROFILE PARTY.

I'M JUST HOPIN' NO ONE TRIES TO GIVE THEIR PHONE NUMBER

TO SOMEBODY ELSE-- THAT WOULD PISS ME OFF.

WERE THERE ANY PROBLEMS ON THE DRIVE OR ANYTHING?

- YEAH. - WHAT?

- IT'S BEEN A TRIP. - THIS IS MY PROBLEM.

WHEN WE GOT OFF THE BUS, WHEN WE GOT TO THE MOTEL,

ALL I SAID-- - WHERE-WHERE YOU GUYS STAYIN'?

- MOTEL. - MOTEL.

LET ME-LET ME JUST TELL YOU THIS.

I MIGHT NOT BE THE RICHEST BITCH IN THE WORLD,

BUT WHEN I GO OUT OF TOWN ON MY DIME,

I'M SLEEPING SOMEWHERE THAT'S AS NICE AS MY HOME.

SO, WHEN I GO TO GET IN THE SHOWER--

- BUT-- - NO, NO, THAT.

WHEN I GO TO GET IN THE SHOWER

AND THE WATER IS BROWN,

I HAVE A PROBLEM. - I'M SORRY?

EXCUSE ME-- YES.

WE IN AMERICA,

AND THE WATER IS BROWN.

I HAVE A PROBLEM, 'CAUSE AT MY HOUSE,

THE WATER IS CLEAR. - UH...

I GET ON THE BUS,

COMPLETELY WANTING TO PREPARE THE GIRLS FOR THE EVENING,

AND I AM BOMBARDED WITH A BUNCH OF COMPLAINTS,

AND I AM LIVID RIGHT NOW.

OKAY, MY-MY QUESTION IS, ARE YOU JUST TALKING,

OR ARE YOU TALKING DIRECTLY TO ME?

- NO, I'M JUST SAYING, PERIOD. - CAN I TALK?

- BUT I'M JUST SAYING. - THAT WAS MY ARGUMENT.

NO, IT WAS MY ARGUMENT, 'CAUSE YOU WEREN'T THERE.

YOU WEREN'T THERE WHEN I GOT IN THE SHOWER.

OKAY, BUT WAIT--

EVERYBODY ELSE IS HEATED ABOUT THIS .

I'M NOT GONNA SIT BACK, AND I'M NOT GONNA SAY NOTHIN'.

- OKAY! - I'M NOT GOIN' THERE.

IT'S MY FIRST TIME HEARIN' IT.

FIRST, LET ME BEGIN BY SAYING,

I WOULD NEVER PUT YOU LADIES SOMEWHERE

THAT I WOULD NOT STAY AT MYSELF.

THAT'S WHAT WE THOUGHT, TOO.

AND THAT'LL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

YEAH, THAT-THAT WAS-- SOMEBODY DROPPED THE BALL.

THE ATTITUDE OF MY STAFF MEMBERS RIGHT NOW,

AT THIS MEETING, MAKES ME REALLY NERVOUS

ABOUT GOING INTO THIS PARTY.

I AM STARTING TO FREAK OUT.

IF YOU GO IN WITH A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE,

YOU MIGHT HAVE A NEGATIVE RESULT,

AND WE HAVE TO PUT A STOP TO THIS, RIGHT NOW...

RIGHT NOW.

SO, SHAKE THE BUS EXPERIENCE OFF OF US.

ALL RIGHT, LADIES-- THANKS, AGAIN.

SO, TONIGHT, WE'RE GONNA GET OUT THERE.

WE'RE GONNA WORK THIS .

I'M PAYIN' ALL THAT MONEY-- $1,100 FOR A MOTEL?

I SPENT $1,100 ON A MOTEL?

HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? - IT WAS THE PICTURE THAT I--

WHENEVER I WAS SHOWING IT TO YOU,

THAT'S WHAT-THAT'S WHAT-- THAT CAME UP.

THIS IS THE FIRST L.A. PARTY FOR BAR CHIX,

AND IF IT'S NOT RIGHT IN L.A.,

WE'RE GONNA HAVE HUGE PROBLEMS EVERYWHERE ELSE,

AND IT'S REALLY WORKING ON MY NERVES

BECAUSE YOU GET ONE CHANCE TO MAKE A FIRST IMPRESSION,

ESPECIALLY FOR SOMETHING THIS BIG.

YOU KNOW I WOULD NEVER PUT ANYBODY IN A PLACE LIKE THAT,

WHERE WATER IS BROWN. - I KNOW.

AND THERE'S A DAMN-- IT'S UNACCEPTABLE.

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

- GET BACK IN THE BAR! - WE ARE NOT LEAVING THE BAR.

YOU'RE NOT-- I TELL YOU, YOU DON'T TELL ME.

GET BACK IN THE BAR.

- SHE BETTER BRING HER ASS. - YEAH, I KNOW.

TAMAR IS GOING TO BE A NO-SHOW.

YOU READY TO WATCH THIS?

- I AM READY. - CAUSE I AM.

- YEAH, OKAY, OKAY, OKAY-- - I GOT IT-- OKAY.

I CAN'T WAIT!

OOH, I WISH I WAS THERE, THOUGH-- OOH!

I KNOW IT.

MOMMY AND I AREN'T FEELING WELL,

SO WE'RE WATCHING THE RED CARPET AT MY HOTEL ROOM.

TONI AND TOWANDA CLAIMED THAT THEY DIDN'T WANNA GET SICK,

SO THEY WATCHED IT AT TONI'S HOUSE,

AND TRINA'S BUSY SETTING UP THE BAR CHIX AT THE PARTY.

I HOPE I FEEL BETTER,

SO I CAN GO TO TAMAR'S AFTER-PARTY LATER TONIGHT.

OOH, I WISH I WAS THERE, THOUGH.

OOH, THAT SUCKS. - I KNOW IT.

APPARENTLY, MY CATEGORIES IS IN THE PRE-SHOW,

BEFORE THE GRAMMY AWARDS,

AND I'M NOMINATED FOR BEST R&B SONG,

BEST R&B ALTERNATIVE ALBUM,

ALTHOUGH I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS,

AND...

BEST R&B BITCH, I THINK-- I DON'T KNOW.

- OKAY, HERE IT COME UP. - OKAY, OKAY, OKAY, OKAY.

FOR BEST R&B PERFORMANCE,

THE NOMINEES ARE TAMAR BRAXTON, ANTHONY HAMILTON...

THIS NOMINATION FOR BEST R&B PERFORMANCE

IS VERY IMPORTANT-- LET ME JUST TELL YOU WHY.

THAT MEANS YOU SUNG YOUR DAMN FACE TO THE FLOOR.

AND THE GRAMMY GOES TO... "SNARKY PUPPY,"

WITH LALAH HATHAWAY.

WELL, NOW, I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS IN THE SAME CATEGORY

AS LALAH HATHAWAY.

I WAS REALLY EXCITED FOR HER BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN NOMINATED,

LIKE, SEVEN, EIGHT TIMES, AND NEVER WON.

SO, I WAS HAPPY FOR HER,

'CAUSE I KNOW SHE BEEN IN THIS GAME A LONG TIME.

HERE'S THE NEXT ONE-- HERE'S THE NEXT ONE.

FOR BEST R&B SONG, THE NOMINEES ARE...

TAMAR BRAXTON, DARHYL CAMPER, JR.,

LaSHAWN DANIELS, AND MAKEBA RIDDICK,

FOR "LOVE AND WAR." - WHOO-- GO, TAMIE!

- AND THE GRAMMY GOES TO... - UH-HUH.

"PUSHER LOVE GIRL."

YOU KNOW, NOT THAT I DON'T THINK

THAT EVERYBODY ELSE DIDN'T DESERVE IT,

BUT I THOUGHT THAT ME, AND LaSHAWN, AND MAKEBA DESERVED THAT ONE,

'CAUSE I AIN'T HEARD NO SONG LIKE THAT IN A L-L-LONG TIME.

- I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. - I MEAN, REALLY?

AND THEN, AGAIN, I WASN'T TRIPPIN'

'CAUSE, YOU KNOW, I GOT ONE MORE NOMINATION.

SO, I'M LIKE, OKAY-- HEY, COOL.

GREAT, JAMES-- I'M HAPPY FOR YOU.

SHE'S GONNA BE UPSET.

SHE GOT ONE MORE-- SHE GOT ONE MORE TO DO.

YEAH-- YEAH.

I KNOW TAMAR HAS TO BE FEELIN' BAD, RIGHT NOW.

SHE HAS TO WIN THIS ONE.

FOR BEST URBAN CONTEMPORARY ALBUM...

ALL RIGHT, THIS IS IT-- THIS IS THE LAST ONE.

SHE AIN'T GOT NO MORE CHANCES.

THREE. - OKAY.

- TAMAR BRAXTON. - YAY!

AND THE WINNER IS...

RIHANNA.

IT AIN'T ME.

MMM.

REALLY?

IT WOULD'VE BEEN VALIDATION

TO EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN THROUGH.

ALL THE RECORD LABELS THAT WANTED ME TO BE LIKE TONI.

ALL THE PEOPLE WHO SAID I WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH.

ALL THE PEOPLE WHO SAID I COULDN'T SING.

YOU KNOW, THIS WOULD'VE MEANT...

YOU DIDN'T EVEN SEE HER OUT IN THE AUDIENCE.

YOU'RE CRYIN'. - WELL, MY HEART IS BROKEN,

'CAUSE I KNOW SHE'S DISAPPOINTED.

I'LL BE OKAY.

BEIN' NOMINATED IS NOT WINNING.

SO, I'M SURE SHE'S HURT AND-AND DISAPPOINTED,

AND SO AM I.

THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME.

UM, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

AND-AND, TRINA, I'M PROUD OF YOU.

- HOW'S THE DRINK? - THIS IS DELICIOUS!

GOOD.

WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR SISTER, TAMAR,

AT THE GRAMMYS TODAY?

I'M JUST REALLY, REALLY PROUD OF HER

TO EVEN BE NOMINATED FOR THREE AWARDS ON HER FIRST ALBUM.

I'M REALLY PROUD OF HER. - NO BIG DEAL, RIGHT?

JUST THREE. - RIGHT.

BEIN' NOMINATED FOR A GRAMMY IS A BIG DEAL.

YOU ARE NOMINATED FOR A GRAMMY.

THAT MEANS THAT YOUR WORK HAS SPOKEN FOR ITSELF.

OH, THAT'S ME.

- THREE TIMES! - THREE GRAMMYS-- RIGHT!

DID I JUST DO THAT?

YES, I DID.

THAT WAS YOUR REACTION WHEN YOU FOUND OUT

ABOUT THE GREAT NEWS, HUH? - OH, MY GOD, YES.

I'M SO PROUD OF MY BABY SISTER.

- YEAH. - YEAH.

SHE HAS MORE, MORE TO COME.

I THINK PEOPLE REALLY UNDERESTIMATED HER ALBUM.

OH, MY GOD-- SHE IS PHENOMENAL.

I KNOW TAMAR IS VERY UPSET,

'CAUSE I KNOW SHE FELT AS THOUGH

SHE WOULD WIN AT LEAST ONE GRAMMY,

BUT I STILL WANTED TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR TAMAR.

I ARRIVED SEPARATELY FROM THE REST OF THE FAMILY

'CAUSE I DIDN'T REALLY WANNA BREATHE ON ANYBODY

AND MAKE THEM SICK,

AND I DON'T SEE TAMAR ANYWHERE.

OH, MY GOD.

I'M SO ANXIOUS TO-TO GIVE HER MY LOVE AND MY SUPPORT,

AND GIVE HER A BIG, BIG SISTERLY HUG.

TAMAR LOOKED FABULOUS-- FABULOUS TONIGHT.

SHE LOOKED GREAT.

- I LOVE THIS LITTLE DRESS. - THANK YOU.

- VINCE! - .

GIVE YOUR FATHER A HUG, GIRL.

- APRIL, YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL. - YOU, TOO.

HOW YOU GONNA SAY IT'S PURPLE?

- IT'S DIFFERENT. - .

- NO! - WHY WOULD YOU SAY "BARNEY?"

THAT IS NOT WHAT FRIENDS DO.

OH, MY GOD!

ALL RIGHT, BARN.

I HAVE BEEN AT THIS FABULOUS PARTY,

AND I'M GETTIN' A LITTLE WORRIED.

I'M THINKIN' THAT TAMAR IS GOING TO BE A NO-SHOW.

I HOPE I'M WRONG ABOUT THAT.

- HEY, MAMA. - HEY.

HEY!

- SHE BETTER BRING HER ASS. - I KNOW.

TAMAR COULD NOT GET HERSELF TOGETHER.

SHE WAS DISAPPOINTED, SHE WAS EMBARRASSED.

I WENT TO TAMAR'S HOUSE TO MAKE HER COME,

'CAUSE SHE WOULDN'T GO WITH VINCE AND MOMMY.

SHE WOULDN'T CHANGE, SHE DIDN'T WANNA GO.

SHE WAS IN THE BED.

I WAS LIKE, "TAMAR, GET UP-- NO."

I WAS LIKE, "MMM-MMM.

"I'M FEELIN' A LITTLE RED RIGHT NOW."

I'M LIKE, "UH-UH.

"I MIGHT HAVE EGG ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY FACE, GIRL."

Y'ALL GOOD?

WAIT-WAIT, WHERE'S, UH--

SHE'S HANDIN' OUT SOME SHOTS.

NO, YOU GOT TWO GIRLS HANDIN' OUT SHOTS.

THINGS AREN'T GOING AS SMOOTHLY AS I ANTICIPATED,

AND I AM MORE THAN STRESSED OUT.

IS THERE ANOTHER WORD BIGGER THAN "STRESSED OUT?"

BOOM!

- THEY HAD ME TAKIN' PICTURES. - UH-HUH.

TEQUILA.

I CANNOT HAVE THAT BEHIND THE BAR?

IS THIS YOURS?

TAKE ONE-- TAKE ONE.

TAKE ONE NOW. - THAT'S MY CHICKEN.

YES, I CANNOT HAVE THIS BEHIND THE BAR, WITH PICTURES.

OH, OKAY, OKAY.

- HERE, TAKE ONE NOW. - DON'T LOOK AT ME.

DON'T LOOK AT ME-- DON'T LOOK AT ME.

DON'T GET IT IN THE ICE, THOUGH-- DAMN!

WE SPENT AN HOUR AND A HALF GETTING HER DRESSED.

CHANGING HER CLOTHES-- SHE WOULDN'T CHANGE.

SHE DIDN'T WANNA GO-- SHE WAS IN THE BED.

I MADE HER GET OUT OF THE BED.

WE PUT ON ABOUT 30 PAIR OF SHOES.

I'M NOT EXAGGERATING.

IT'S OKAY TO BE SAD AND DISAPPOINTED SOMETIMES,

BUT YOU SHAKE YOURSELF OFF.

THERE'S SO MUCH MORE THAN WINNING AN AWARD.

YOU WERE NOMINATED FOR AN AWARD.

DON'T BE EMBARRASSED.

YOU CAN'T CARE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE GONNA THINK.

IT-THIS IS YOUR MOMENT.

RELISH IN IT, ENJOY IT.

I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED...

AND SLIGHTLY EMBARRASSED, RIGHT?

LET ME TELL YOU WHY I WAS EMBARRASSED.

NOT BECAUSE IT WAS ABOUT WINNING SO MUCH, RIGHT?

BUT IT WAS ABOUT...

THE VALIDATION

THAT AN ACTUAL GRAMMY

WOULD'VE MEANT TO SOMEBODY LIKE ME.

CAN YOU HOLD THAT REAL QUICK?

HERE, GIVE IT TO ME-- GIVE IT TO ME.

GIVE IT TO ME.

- OH, HEY, TOWANDA. - HEY, TAMIE!

I WENT OVER TO TALK TO TAMAR,

AND I JUST THOUGHT THAT SHE NEEDED TO HEAR THE SUPPORT

AND FEEL THE SUPPORT FROM ME.

GO-GO-GO. - OKAY.

TAMIE, CAN I GET A HUG FIRST?

- TAKE TWO MORE, THEN I'M DONE. - CAN I GET A HUG FIRST?

YOU KNOW, WE MAY HAVE WORDS OR WHAT HAVE YOU,

BUT WE'RE THERE FOR EACH OTHER.

I WAS GLAD TO SEE THAT.

- HI. - HEY.

HOW DO YOU FEEL? - I'M GOOD.

IT REALLY FELT LIKE ALL THE TENSION

AND ALL THE DISSENSION FADED AWAY,

BECAUSE IT WAS A MOMENT TO JUST BE THERE FOR EACH OTHER.

IT'S ALL COMING BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.

WHERE'S TONI?

SHE'S TRYIN' TO SNEAK BACK. - JUST REAL QUICK.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, I DIDN'T LOSE ANYTHING.

I GAINED A TITLE THAT I DIDN'T EVEN THINK I WOULD HAVE.

"GRAMMY NOMINATED, TAMAR BRAXTON."

AND DO I THINK THAT I DESERVE A GRAMMY?

YEP.

DO I THINK THAT I WILL WIN A GRAMMY?

YEAH.

BUT, HONEST TO GOD, RIGHT NOW,

IT'S JUST NOT THE PROPER TIMING.

AND I KNOW THAT I HAVE TO TRUST THAT

WHATEVER IS FOR ME, IS GONNA BE FOR ME.

IT'S TIME TO TURN UP,

AND I AIN'T COMPLAININ' ABOUT A DAMN THING,

AND AIN'T NOBODY GONNA MAKE FEEL BAD ABOUT NOTHIN'.

TAMAR'S IN THE BUILDING!

- GET-GET BACK IN THE BAR! - WE ARE NOT LEAVING THE BAR.

YOU'RE NOT-- I TELL YOU, YOU DON'T TELL ME.

GET BACK IN THE BAR.

READY?

VINCE HAS SOME CHAMPAGNE, TONI.

SHE, YOU KNOW, SHE'S A SUPERSTAR.

ONCE SHE GOT THERE, SHE SAID, "YOU KNOW WHAT?

"I'M GONNA HAVE A GREAT TIME,

"AND I'M GONNA CELEBRATE MY MOMENT," AND SHE DID.

I WAS VERY PROUD OF HER.

FINALLY, TONI AND TAMAR SHOWS UP AT THIS PARTY, HONEY,

AND IT'S ABOUT WHAT-- 2:00 IN THE MORNIN'?

EVERYBODY KNOW I WAS ALREADY SAUCED UP.

EVERYBODY BE WORTH THE WAIT!

EVERYBODY BE WORTH THE WAIT!

I WAS GLAD THAT TONI FINALLY GOT TAMAR OUT OF BED...

AND I'M DRUNK AS HELL.

OH, SHISH KABOB-- OH!

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

- TO GIVE THE BABY BACK TO GOD. - PEOPLE BAPTIZE A CHILD.

HE WAS GONNA OUTDO HER, SHE WAS GONNA OUTDO HIM.

IT'S A COMPETITION.

- A LONG TIME AGO. - SUCH A GREAT CROWD.

OOH, TAMAR SHOULD DO IT!

TAMAR, YOU GOTTA DO A BAR BOARD.

WHAT'S A BAR BOARD?

OH, SHOTSKI! - YEAH-- NO, THE BAR BOARD.

- OH. - TOWANDA, COME OVER HERE.

READY?

GOTTA MAKE A WISH-- READY?

YOU READY? - READY, GO.

OH, SHISH KABOB-- OH!

BA-BA-BA-BA-BA-BA-BOOM-BA!

- IT'S TRUE. - YOU'RE IN A ELITE GROUP.

RARE-- IT'S RARE. - THANK YOU, MY BROTHER.

ANOTHER REAL REASON WHY I DIDN'T WANNA GO TO NO PARTY

IS 'CAUSE I DIDN'T WANT NOBODY COME UP--

COMIN' UP TO ME, LIKE, "I'M SORRY.

"YOU SHOULD'VE WON."

AND I DON'T-I DIDN'T WANNA HEAR THAT, YOU KNOW?

- BE PROUD OF THAT. - YEAH.

WHEN YOU WIN, .

I ACTUALLY DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT IT.

YOU SHOULDN'T.

EVEN THOUGH TAMAR DID NOT WIN THE GRAMMY TROPHY,

SHE IS MY BABY SISTER TROPHY.

SO, YOU KNOW, REGARDLESS ON OUR ISSUES THAT WE HAVE,

WE'LL DEAL WITH THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM TOMORROW.

WE JUST WANNA JUST TELL YOU

THAT YOU-THAT YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED A LOT,

AND WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU. - THANK YOU.

AND YOU WILL ALWAYS AND FOREVER BE "TAMAR BRAXTON"--

- BEAT. - EXACTLY.

- GOOD TIMES. - RIGHT, RIGHT.

I'M JUST GLAD WE CAN ALL COME TOGETHER AND BE HAPPY,

'CAUSE THE SECOND PERSON IN MY FAMILY

WHO'S GOTTEN NOMINATED FOR MULTIPLE GRAMMYS.

THAT'S A MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT.

HAVIN' THIS MOMENT TO SPEND WIT' YOUR FAMILY IS PRICELESS.

OKAY, TAKE A PICTURE.

TOWANDA, STOP PHOTO BOMBING.

LOOK, LOOK, LOOK.

LOOK AT TOWANDA!

LET'S MAKE SOME NOISE FOR TAMAR, Y'ALL.

FIRST OF ALL, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU,

AND I'M JUST SO HAPPY FOR YOU,

AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU.

THANK YOU-- CAN I SAY SOMETHING?

SURE-- YOU CAN SAY SOMETHIN'.

YOU KNOW, I-I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY, YOU KNOW,

REALLY, HONEST TO GOD, I HAVE A GREAT FAMILY.

I'M SURROUNDED BY GREAT FRIENDS.

I HAVE THE B-B-BEST TEDDY RUXPINS

IN THE WHOLE, ENTIRE WORLD.

AND LOOK AT MY SISTER NATION-- LOOK AT THAT.

LOOK-LOOK-LOOK AT MY SISTER NATION.

I HAD AN AMAZING YEAR.

YOU KNOW, MY ALBUM IS STILL DOING AMAZING.

YOU KNOW, AND I HAVE MORE SUPPORTERS THAN HATERS.

AND, REALLY, I DON'T EVEN GIVE A HOT DAMN ABOUT THE HATERS

'CAUSE YOU AT HOME, WATCHIN'.

AND, YOU KNOW, I-I'M BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE.

I HAVE ALL OF MY FAMILY.

WHY I MAD FOR, THOUGH?

AND THEN, YOU KNOW, BEIN' MAD MAKE YOU UGLY AND STUFF.

YOU START LOOKIN' LIKE DONKEYS, AND SO I DON'T WANT THAT.

I WANNA STAY CUTE.

CAN YOU ALL JUST GIVE A SHOUT-OUT--

Y'ALL GIVE A SHOUT-OUT TO MY SISTER, TRINA,

HER BAR CHIX, AND HER BAR, UM, WORKIN'.

WE DEFINITELY HAVE SOME THINGS TO WORK ON,

BUT I THINK THE BAR CHIX DID REALLY WELL

BY THE END OF THE NIGHT,

AND I BELIEVE TAMAR AND VINCE WERE REALLY HAPPY

WITH THEIR SERVICE.

YOU KNOW, I NEVER REALLY BEEN THE GIRL WHO, YOU KNOW,

WANTED TO BE THE ONLY ONE DOIN' THEIR THING, YOU KNOW.

SO, I WAS EXCITED THAT, YOU KNOW,

I CAN HAVE TRINA'S BUSINESS BE A PART OF THIS MOMENT.

HALLELUJAH!

HA-HA-HA-HA-HALLELUJAH!

SO, IT'S THE DAY AFTER THE GRAMMY AWARDS,

AND IT'S VINCENT'S BIRTHDAY.

THE THING ABOUT VINCE AND I,

IS THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S SO FUNNY

BECAUSE WE'RE IN COMPETITION WITH EACH OTHER EVERY BIRTHDAY.

WE'RE TRYIN' TO OUTDO EACH OTHER.

BUT THIS YEAR WAS A LITTLE SPECIAL

BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST BIRTHDAY

THAT WE WILL HAVE LOGAN.

SO, THIS PARTY IS REAL COOL AND REAL INTIMATE,

AND IT'S CLOSE FRIENDS AND FAMILY,

AND I'M EXCITED BECAUSE, WITH VINCE'S LITTLE HEALTH SCARE,

WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL WAS GONNA HAPPEN.

I'M JUST HAPPY THAT HE'S HERE... 'KAY?

I'M NOT FEELING GOOD,

BUT I CAME TO THE PARTY, ANYWAY,

SO, TAMAR IS MAKING ME WEAR A MASK.

I WORE IT, SO I WANTED TO SUPPORT VINCE.

OKAY, EVERYBODY.

MR. VINCENT HERBERT, I KNOW YOU'RE ON THE PHONE.

COME OVER HERE, VINCE.

VINCE JUST THINKS WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LITTLE BORING DINNER.

HEE-HEE.

CUT THE STEAK, CUT THE CHICKEN.

NO, IT'S NOT THAT MOMENT, OKAY?

I HAVE AN ADDITIONAL SURPRISE FOR MY MAN.

I KNOW Y'ALL ARE WONDERIN' WHAT'S HAPPENIN'.

WHAT'S THE SECRET-- WHY EVERYBODY'S IN WHITE?

SO, VINCE,

TODAY, ON YOUR BIRTHDAY...

WE DECIDED TO HAVE ALL OF OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY,

SINCE EVERYBODY IS ALREADY STILL IN TOWN AND STUFF,

THAT WE WOULD DEDICATE THE BABY TO THE LORD.

HALLELUJAH!

AND IT'S NO BETTER DAY, BUT ON YOUR BIRTHDAY,

AND TO HAVE THE CEREMONY PRESENTED...

BY MAMA AND DADDY.

SO, ALTHOUGH MY BABY'S SEVEN MONTHS,

IT AIN'T TOO-- NEVER TOO LATE.

TO ALL THE SINNERS AROUND HERE,

NEVER TOO LATE TO GIVE YOUR LIFE OVER TO THE LORD.

TAMAR IS HAVING BOTH OF OUR PARENTS,

MY MOM AND MY DAD,

DO THE CHRISTENING FOR THE BABY.

NOT THE SMARTEST MOVE, TAMAR.

I THINK IT'S GONNA BE LIKE A RACE.

WHO'S GONNA GET TO THE FINISH LINE FIRST?

ONE OF 'EM-- UH-HUH-- VERY COMPETITIVE, YEAH.

BELOVED, WE ARE GATHERED HERE TODAY TO CELEBRATE

THIS GREAT CELEBRATION FOR TAMAR AND VINCENT HERBERT.

WE THANK GOD FOR THE CHILD.

WE THANK GOD FOR HOW HE HAVE BLESSED US.

AND SO, THEREFORE, VINCE AND TAMAR ARE HERE TODAY

TO GIVE THE BABY BACK TO GOD.

PEOPLE BAPTIZE THEIR CHILD,

SIGNIFYING THAT THEY ARE UNDER THE LINEAGE OF ALMIGHTY GOD.

THEN WE DEDICATE THE CHILD TO THE LORD,

TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU REMEMBER

THE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT YOU HAVE.

NOT ONLY THAT,

BUT IT TAKE A WHOLE VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD.

SO, IT'S A HONOR AND A PRIVILEGE

THAT YOU ARE HERE ALSO,

SO YOU CAN HELP WATCH OVER THEIR BABY.

RAISING CHILDREN NOW HAS CHANGED SO DRAMATICALLY.

MY MOM AND DAD ARE DIVORCED, SO...

HE WAS GONNA OUTDO HER, SHE WAS GONNA OUTDO HIM.

IT'S A COMPETITION, YOU KNOW?

"STAR SEARCH" FOR THEM TWO.

YOU JUST LET THEM DO THEM.

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

TONI BRAXTON!

I DO FORESEE A FEW PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE.

I SIGNED THE CONTRACT.

THERE'S NO TURNING BACK.

TAMAR AND VINCENT, WHEN YOU CAME FROM THE HOSPITAL,

THEY GAVE YOU A SET OF INSTRUCTIONS

ON HOW TO FEED THE BABY,

BUT THEY DIDN'T GIVE YOU ANY INSTRUCTIONS

ON HOW TO RAISE THE BABY.

RAISE LOGAN TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY.

AND WHETHER YOU'VE SEEN SOME MISTAKES

THAT YOUR PARENTS MIGHT'VE MADE,

YOU DO BETTER. - THAT'S RIGHT.

DO BETTER IN RAISING YOUR CHILD.

AMEN.

I THINK MY DAD HAD SOME REALLY GREAT ADVICE

WHEN HE SUGGESTED THAT YOU DON'T LOOK TO YOUR PARENTS

WHEN YOU RAISE YOUR CHILD.

YOU HAVE TO DO BETTER, AS YOUR OWN PARENT,

AS GENERATIONS GO ON, AND ON, AND ON.

DAD, BEING TAMAR'S PARENT,

HE KNOWS THE MISTAKES THAT HE AND MOMMY HAVE MADE,

AND THEY WERE MAKIN' MISTAKES WHILE THEY WERE UP THERE

TRYIN' TO OUTDO EACH OTHER.

FOR SUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

AND SO, WHAT THEY'RE DOING,

IS BRINGING THEIR BABIES BACK TO GOD.

- BABY. - BRINGING THEIR BABY.

I'M THINK-I'M TALKIN' IN THE FUTURE.

DON'T DO THAT.

ALRIGHTY, THEN.

WORKING WITH BRAXTON FOR THE CHRISTENING,

IT BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES.

THAT'S WHAT WE DID...

BAPTIZING, PERFORMING MARRIAGES.

AND I WATCH MY FAMILY.

I THINK THEY, TOO, THOUGHT ABOUT THE OLD TIMES,

WHEN EVERYBODY WAS TOGETHER, YOU KNOW, ON ONE ACCORD.

THIS EVERLASTING JOY AND PEACE.

IT WAS SO WONDERFUL-- I WANTED TO CRY.

WE BAPTIZE HIM, IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER...

IN THE NAME OF THE SON,

AND IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

AMEN.

BLESS HIM AND KEEP HIM, LORD,

IN A VERY SPECIAL WAY.

IN JESUS' NAME, WE PRAY-- AMEN.

AMEN.

- I LOVE LOGAN. - HE'S TRYING TO GET YOU.

I LOVE YOU.

LOGAN IS SAVED, CHILD. - LOGAN'S BEEN SAVED.

I'M SO HAPPY AND SO BLESSED

THAT EVERYBODY IS HERE FOR LOGAN'S CHRISTENING.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL VIBE, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT.

EVERYBODY'S HAPPY, AND, YOU KNOW,

I COULDN'T HAVE PLANNED A BETTER BIRTHDAY, REALLY.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT.

I REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING MY WIFE DOES.

SHE'S ALWAYS DOIN' SOMETHIN' TO SURPRISE ME.

I JUST COOPERATE AND BE QUIET.

AND LET'S NOT WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR TO GET TOGETHER AGAIN

FOR MY BIRTHDAY. - AMEN.

BUT LET'S GET TOGETHER BEFORE THAT.

- MMM-HMM. - GOD BLESS YOU GUYS.

GOOD-NIGHT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN A SECOND SINCE, YOU KNOW,

MY SISTERS AND I HAD BACK-TO-BACK FUN LIKE THIS.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

USUALLY, WE HAVE FUN, THEN THERE'S A LONG BREAK.

THEN THERE'S DRAMA, THEN THERE'S SHADE,

AND THEN WE HAVE FUN AGAIN.

NO, THIS WAS BACK-TO-BACK.

WE HAD A BALL.

SHARIN' THE LOVE.

IT WAS ALL IN THE AIR.

YOU COULD SMELL IT.

YOU COULD CUT IT WITH A KNIFE,

LIKE IT'S A THREE-LAYER CAKE.

OKAY, COME ON, GIRLS, REAL QUICK.

I REALLY FEEL AND SEE HOW WE ARE BONDING ONCE AGAIN,

AS SISTERS, AND IT'S SUCH A RELIEF.

I FEEL THAT OUR FAMILY IS UNITED AGAIN.

BUT, WE'RE GONNA DO THIS GOSPEL ALBUM.

"I, TONI BRAXTON, REALLY DO SWEAR THAT I WILL DO"--

NO, YOU HAVE TO PUT "RECORD." - WHAT?

YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT ALL THAT.

"A GOSPEL CD."

I PUT MOMMY DOWN FOR ONE SONG.

- ONE? - MAYBE.

- TONI BRAXTON! - WHAT?

I SEE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS THAT COULD POSSIBLY

GET IN THE WAY OF THIS ALBUM BEING PRODUCED.

LIKE, WHO'S THE PRODUCER GONNA BE?

HOW MUCH TIME CAN WE DEVOTE TO THIS PROJECT?

I SIGNED THE CONTRACT.

THERE'S NO TURNING BACK.

I SHOULD'VE SIGNED A LITTLE ADDENDUM, THOUGH.

WELL, I DO FORESEE A FEW PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE.
