Way Back Wednesday: The One & Only Toni Braxton

Toni Braxton
In a time when most of current ruling generation of R&B and Pop stars put forward music that is as forgettable as their voices, there is one particular diva who is sorely missed on the charts. Possessing a one of a kind contralto, Toni Braxton is undoubtedly one of the industry’s most artists and Way Back Wednesday is about to remind you of that fact.
During the 1990s, Braxton carved her own lane with her unique tone, dark timbre and captivating stage presence. However, as a result of numerous financial problems and health issues, her success declined during the 200s and many young ‘music’ fans fail to recognise her enormous contributions to R&B, Pop and even Dance.
So, today’s Way Back Wednesday will showcase some of Braxton’s most popular videos and live performances to help the younger generation to appreciate her talent. Watch the diva, who has been praised by acts from Whitney Houston to Brandy, in action below:
‘Another Sad Love Song’
‘Breathe Again’
‘He Wasn’t Man Enough’
‘Let it Flow’
‘Please’
‘Seven Whole Days’
‘Spanish Guitar’
‘Un-break My Heart’
‘You Mean the World to Me’
‘You’re Makin’ Me High’
What makes Braxton so special isn’t just her unbelievable voice – a rich tone like hers is literally one in a billion – but also her control of her vocal range. Most contraltos master their lower registers without ever going beyond their comfort zones. Yet, Braxton can match most sopranos with ease. In fact, she can sing as high as Beyonce in her head voice!
I honestly miss hearing new music from Braxton. This will sound awfully selfish but even if a new album fails to chart, I still want it for my personal listening pleasure. Until that time, vote in our new Way Back Wednesday poll below!

toni is the shit always will be.. cant wait for new album (and tamars i love me some braxtons love the braxtons album too)
Love her!
wooow Ms Braxton is iconic and i didnt even realise! Her live performances>>> she puts her all wow and her tunes from late 90s! My time
Man, I love me some Toni B! She has so many classic songs!
Ironically, I was listening to Toni Braxton last night. She is such a talented artist, and one of my favorites of all-time. I grew up on her. My mother would play her songs all the time in the car.
Also, how could you not have “I Belong To You” as one of the choices? I love that song. I would love a new album from Miss. Braxton even if its not successful.
Lastly, It is very unfortunate that Toni’s money problems and health issues have kepted her from being a successful artist in the 2000′s.
Toni will always be the shit, she really changed R&B and pop when she debuted.
Listen to her first CD, R&B at its finest.
Breath Again, Another Sad Love Song and Unbreak my Heart still remain timeless.
Toni doesn’t get major props nowadays which is sad.
Back in the 90s it was all about mariah , Whitney, janet abd Toni.
Trent you forgot How Many Ways. That is another classic.
YASSS! How Many Ways is a CLASSIC. Toni Braxton will always be a one of a kind diva. Amazing.
She’s very beautiful and amazing…
My favourite is “Breath Again”. I always wondered if Whitney was covering it (sorta!) here during the ad lips of “All The Man…”
This is my girl!!! Beautiful, talented. A triple threat singing, acting, stage presence. She is absolutely amazing. If Brandy can make a comeback, I’m sure Toni can also. Come Come now!!!
yessss!! miss toni!!! “How Many Ways” is my jam! Her last album was really good too! her new single ” I heart you” is on my ipod
‘Love Shoulda Brought You Home’ is my favorite!! why is it not on the poll???
