Above: Singer Mya Harrison and her ass

It’s Mya, the ugly chic who sang the hook in Ghetto Superstar (that tasteless summer ‘hit’ from a couple years ago). But when I saw her in a music video the other day, amazingly, she looked quite a bit hotter! Yes, this is the singer I once described as resembling a cross between a dashboard-melted Treasure Troll and a 9 year-old boy.

So again, Mya has caught my attention; this time for her gig in My Love is Like Wo. Although the viddy was released almost two years ago, I hadn’t seen it until recently, and her appearance starkly contrasted with what I remembered her looking like.

Don’t get me wrong, she’s still the near-talentless showbiz droid that doesn’t write, produce or probably even sing her hobo sack of forgettable tunes. Indeed, such image-based ‘artists’ have become the norm for musicians of this generation, so I’m not surprised at the least.

But back to the video – it got me thinking: have her looks improved, or have my personal standards sunk lower than the Mariana trench? Age does a funny thing to one’s 10-scale.
Other kinda-black popstars, such as Alicia Keyes and Ashanti have experienced amazing overnight success by looking incredibly hot right out of the box. Being easy on the eyes is surely the fastest path to stardom, especially in a genre like R&B, where actual musical talent is on a similar level to that of rap music. But poor Mya, her hideous visage has dogged her career since her debut, and as a result, she has never received the same level of acclaim as her better-looking peers.

I’ve noticed that her production crew uses a lot of pomp and glitz to mask her squeaky attempt at vocals and her physically awkward appearance. The direction in My Love is Like Wo seems to be always focused away from her face, usually highlighting her ass, clothing or strip routine. But this time, against all odds, it somehow comes together rather nicely. The smart and tricky editing, the sole focus on the performer and the sexy costumes all showcase Mya in the best light possible.
So despite my heavy critique, I’m willing to admit that I find myself slightly more attracted to Mya than I did a few years ago. Because of this, I feel like I’ve been swindled out of my senses by slick photography and buckets of makeup, for it’s obvious that Mya is no Aaliyah, but it’s also undeniable that she sports some killer dance moves and has a real stage presence.

So in summary – don’t attempt to make sense of this post!! How, reflecting on my feelings about an overrated R&B singer warrants a long-winded post on this illustrious blog — god only knows! Go hit up the video remix below. And you’ll like it because I didn’t use her music.
