I really don’t see anything special about her. She looks like an average biracial woman. I thought this site was for celebrities, not wannabe famous “singers”.
She looks a lot like her white mother. https://twitter.com/tinashemomma (Her mom’s Twitter. You can see her picture on there)
I’ve never seen a picture of her dad, but to me she looks like her mom. She’s ok looking, there are more gorgeous mixed girls out there.
She looks like her mother? Astonishing.
Sorry …
I couldn’t resist …
Um I said that because some ignorant people always seem to mention that mixed people looking nothing like their white parent.
Yes, you’re right. In fact my remark supported your statement. ;-) Many people just look at the colour/tone (“She must be Swedish, ’cause she is blonde” or “She must have some Asian in her, ’cause she is NOT blonde” O_o ), but that’s only a small part of the truth. Skin colour (or hair colour, as to that) imo is completely overrated.
After years I finally know I needn’t feel bad just because my skin doesn’t produce enough melanin.
CORRECTION: She was born in Harare, Zimbabwe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinashe
She looks like a typical mixed girl.
All mixed girls look the same, pass.
lol true
I agree.
That’s not true at all.mixed girls are just like everyone else,some look like this while others you would know were mixed at all
wouldn’t know were mixed at all
She’s beautiful…
So do white people lol
I have to agree with you on this. Like, nothing is really extravagant it’s just bland.
Awww, someone is bitter! LOL
