Star Tracks youngest protégé, Teyana Taylor, held a live showcase of her debut album, From a Planet called Harlem, in NYC at celebrity hot spot The Marquee. The girl is only 17 years old and she’s already dubbed as the next big thing by super producer Pharell who signed her to his record label. Ya also might’ve seen her on the highest-rated episode of MTV’s “My Super Sweet 16″ last year…her party was so HOT! Anywhoo last night’s set was to begin at 7pm but like in true diva style, Teyana didn’t hit the stage until 8:30pm. With a restless awaiting crowd of industry insiders, Teyana rocked the building with her many funky fresh Star Track joints. A few VIPs were in the building including, Rick Ross and Hot 97’s Angie Martinez and Ebro…unfortunately Pharrell was MIA. Check out the pictures and video compilation below…

Throughout her showcase I couldn’t help but think “Is Teyana the new Kelis? Will “Google Me” upstart Teyana to star status like “Milkshake” did fo Kelis??” One thing is for certain, the girl’s got killer abs remiscent of Aaliyah/Ciara, she can flow like them harlem dudes, and her style…well its 80’s skater chick with a funky R&B/Hip Hop mix.  Realtalk, I didn’t leave the show thinking “Wow, She’s gonna be a star” but if Ashanti, Rihanna, and Ciara can do it…then why not Teyana. Best believe teenyboppers will be signing Teyana praises.

    I knew somebody would say that…she is a bit manly. Wait until you see the video I’ll post up later today. Shorty is really hard…bubbly personality but a tad bit manish.

    I knew she was a dyke when I saw her myspace and she was showing off rocking some boxers. Forget the next Kelis more like the new coming of age Da Brat or Missy Elliott minus the pounds. I know a dyke when I see one and she is a LESBIAN! LOL Nothing wrong wit that, but she just needs to come ALL THE WAY out the closet. She needs to hook up with that Snoop girl from The Wire so she can learn how to be an AUTHENTIC one cause right now she’s playing the fence. LOL

    All she needs to do is just continue to BE HERSELF and stay out of trouble. If she’s a panty raider or seasons the meat, thats her business. At least she is proud of her photos - apparently you are not even proud of who you are if you cant even disclose your identity. Stop acting like a black monkey and let her be her.
