2006 Germany World Cup theme song: "The Time Of Our Lives" Chinese name "Top of Life" Singer: IL Divo (Bel Canto Gentleman) Toni Braxton (Tonnie Braxton): Toni Braxton is 90 One of the most popular female R&B singers of the 1990s, she is also a successful commercial singer. She can cater to the tastes of all major camps: her voice is sexy enough for R&B listeners, soft enough for modern adult music; sophisticated enough for adults, sultry enough for the younger generation; able to soothe the wounded women. The soul also makes men lose their souls. Relying on these characteristics, Toni has been recognized by millions of sales one after another. Of course, what followed was a series of masterpieces. Un-break My Heart (Don't Make Me Sad) is one of them. It was rated as the longest stay in the rock era. Longest pop number one single. Toni was born in Maryland, USA, on October 7, 1968. Her father was a strict pastor. Not only was he prohibited from contacting popular culture, he was not even allowed to wear jeans. Her mother was a professionally trained singer and often encouraged her and her sisters to sing in church (gospel songs were the only music allowed in the Braxton family). The sisters often secretly watch Soul Train TV while their parents are away. Gradually, their parents changed their attitude and relaxed their strict upbringing, allowing Toni to develop her own musical style. Due to her deep voice, she often sang songs by Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, Michael McDonald and Chaka Khan. She had some success performing locally with her sisters, and after high school she prepared to work as a music teacher. However, she was discovered by Bill Pettaway (songwriter) while singing for fun at a gas station. With his help, she and her sisters signed a contract with Arista Records as a singing group in 1990. She immediately dropped out of school to pursue a singing career. The Braxton family group released their first single Good Life in 1990. It was not successful, but it attracted the attention of ace producers L.A. Reid and Babyface. They had just established a label with a super songwriting/production lineup LaFace (Arista (under the label), Toni Braxton became the first female singer signed by LaFace the following year. In the following year, she made herself known to the public by singing a song for Boomerang, a film starring Eddie Murphy. Not only was the film's soundtrack Her own song "Love Shoulda Brought You Home" hit the pop and R&B charts, and she sang "Give U My Heart" with Babyface. So the release of her first studio album in 1993 was highly anticipated, and it ranked first on the POP and R&B charts upon its release. The album's chart-topping hits come one after another, including three TOP10 singles: Another Sad Love Song, Breathe Again, You Mean the World to Me and the double hit I Belong to You/How Many Ways. With this album alone, Toni's popularity continued until 1995. In 1994, she won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist and Best R&B Female Vocalist (Another Sad Love Song), and won the Best R&B Award again in 1995. Female Vocalist Award (Breathe Again). Before the release of her next album, Toni delighted fans with the song "Let It Flow" from Whitney's 1995 Waiting to Exhale film soundtrack. She once again collaborated closely with L.A. Reid and Babyface. The second album Secrets was released the following summer, and as expected, it became a hit. The first single, You're Makin' Me High, greatly demonstrated her sexiness and became her most popular album to date. The most successful pop chart work, however, this single was immediately overshadowed by the sad ballad Un-break My Heart, written by Diane Warren, which stayed at the top of the pop charts for 11 weeks. (It stayed on the Adult Modern chart longer than that.) Although the subsequent singles "I Don't Want To" and "How Could an Angel Break My Heart" were not as successful, the Secrets album still achieved sales of 8 million.

Toni immediately won the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance (Un-break My Heart) and the Best Female R&B Vocal Performance (You're Makin' Me High) at the 1997 Grammy Awards. In late 1997, Toni and LaFace had a dispute over accounting issues. LaFace won the lawsuit and Toni declared bankruptcy, which shocked all fans (seemingly unlikely for a singer with such high sales). She spent most of 1998 dealing with the aftermath and starring as Belle in the Disney musical Beauty and the Beast. She and LaFace finally reconciled in early 1999, and work on her third album soon began. In the spring of 2000, the Heat album was announced, and her new image was so bold that it made people's blood boil. Still crafted by her along with L.A. and Babyface, the album is packed with heart-pounding beats and swoon-worthy acoustic guitar strums. The album entered the charts at number two, tying the record of the Secrets album. The first single "He Wasn't Man Enough" successfully entered the TOP10 (number one on the R&B chart), although the subsequent collaborations with Dr. Dre "Just Be a Man About It" and "Spanish Guitar" did not achieve the expected success and failed to give the album a boost. Increase momentum. Compared with previous albums, Heat's sales of 2 million are a bit disappointing, but another Grammy Award for Best R&B Female Vocalist (He Wasn't Man Enough) is enough to make everyone happy. In 2005, former R&B queen Mariah Carey's glorious return attracted the attention of people around the world. Seeing the glorious comeback of her old rival, Toni Braxton, another once glorious R&B queen, couldn't sit still. So, on September 27, 2005, with the new album "Libra", Toni returned to the world. Due to the poor performance of the last official recording album "More Than A Woman", Toni reduced her cooperation with The Neptunes in this album. The style of the songs also returned to the original R&B from the Hip-Hop in the previous album. , and enabled the cooperation of many well-known new producers who have never cooperated before. These include Scott Storch, who produced her first single "Please", and Rich Harrison, who collaborated with Toni on "Take This Ring". Of course, there are also old partners, Dallas Austin appeared on "Trippin'" and "What's Good", and Cory Rooney also appeared on the production line of "Stupid". The rhythm of the entire album is quite tight, and there are no weak spots or flaws. Due to its excellent performance in the album, Amazon's music reviewers gave this album an average score of 4.5 (out of 5). However, amg, which is famous for its musical reviews, only gave this album a score of 3. Although the taste of the album is very popular, the musicality is still not enough. However, the album’s ranking of #4 in its first week is enough to satisfy everyone. Because everyone knows that today's young people have really picky tastes.
