Talk:Mya (singer)

Hi all!

I was thinking if we could move this page to Mya_(singer) and keep this page (Mya) for disambiguation.

Thanks. Lazyd0g 07:55, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Mya vs. Mýa

I have seen this singer's name written as Mýa in some places. Is this a correct, alternative spelling? —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 09:06, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

Actually, "Mýa" is the correct spelling. Should we move the page? --FuriousFreddy 10:51, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

I would say yes, but I've no real attachment to it nor control over it. —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 21:27, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Pop & Rock Radio

Will someone please remove the sentences such as “Although the singles all had substantial airplay on urban and rhythmic radio, they all also failed to cross over onto pop radio”. First, this is speculating that the intention of the artist was for the song to cross over. Second, this makes any success she reaches on urban and rhythmic radio sound meaningless. This is the second article I have read that made the successes achieved on urban radio sound less valuable than on pop or rock radio.

I think successes achieved on urban radio ARE less valuable than on pop or rock radio. They earn less money, they don't sell as much, they reach a smaller audience. That aside, I think that section is written such that it does give credit for her "pop" (IE: popular) hits, given that it then goes on to state the releases from Fear of Flying. My interpretation of that section is that "she became well known in the urban scene but it wasn't until later releases that she had success in the pop music charts", which are, for all intents and purposes, a fair indicator of success within the music industry. 203.173.24.42 01:05, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Photo Quality

Kudos to whoever put up that picture of Mya. That is an excellent photo of her. -- Jalabi99 08:35, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was moved to Mýa due to no opposition. Sam Vimes 22:48, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Requested move

Mýa (singer) → Mýa … Rationale: In this case, it is not necessary to disambiguate with (singer).

Birthyear

Was Mya born in 1978 or 1979? Hotwine8 04:00, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

She was born on 1979. IMDB lists it as 1978 but that was a typo-o and i requested the change already.

just wondering...

why are all the albums but the debut italized??? shouldn't liberation be the only 1 italized because it's not out yet??? and the sales are wrong; it's

Mya: 2x platinum Feat of Flying: Platinum Moodring: Platinum

Mya's new single Ayo

Is Mya's single Ayo being released in August 21 on radio or as a single? I'm kinda confused.

I've heard Ayo and Ridin'... i like Rdin' better but Ayo is good. Just google them.

She was born in 1979 and Control Freak will be out in 2007

the only website that says that she was born in 1978 is imdb, which was a type-o and they take months to make changes (i've sent in a request). her official website ( http://www.myamya.com/ ; temporarily down) says it's 1979.

Link please?

Control Freak will come out in 2007 (oficial mya website).

Please quit changing it... yesterday Control Freak wasn't listed and her birth year was 1981.

who keeps changing the birth year?

She was born in 1979. I've checked lots and lots of sites. She was 1979 because her debut album was released when she was 18 in 1998, her sophmore album was released in spring 2000 in which she was 20. Last year she turned 26 and when her album is released this year she will be 27.

it's cool now. i talked to the person who was changing it and they we're just mistaking.

What makes you so sure 1978 is a typo? If you go to zabasearch and search for Mya M Harrison it says she was born in October 1978.

it's 1979. leave it at that. who are you gonna believe, her or some website???

I have yet to hear HER say she was born in 1979. According to a comment above it says she was born in 1979 on myamya.com, but I checked and it does not say anywhere on there she was born in 1979, even in the archive.org versions.

What happened to the Control Freak page???

Why was it deleted??? can someone create it and have it be the same as before it was deleted... I'll be putting information about the album as it comes.

Picture???

What happened to it??? can someone please put it back or bring a new one (preferably a 2006 pic).

Discography

Can someone open a page for her discography??? i have all the info and i've already made a request like 2 months ago, but nothing.

Mya's single I am

Is Mya's song "I am" really going to be the official single because I checked her myspace and she said that Ayo wasn't going to be her single but she didn't say anything about "I am" being the official single.

the first single is supposed to be unknown until it comes out, but she sorta hited "i am" will be 
the first single.

Ayo on UK chart

Is Ayo really #4 on the UK charts?

it went down already. it was though.

More Pics Needed

What happened to the pic that was in the infobox? and the liberation album cover? please bring them back. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 190.83.13.157 (talk) 16:14, 9 December 2006 (UTC).
