Chart Performance
In the U.S. the song did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of her most unsuccessful singles to date. In the UK it was released on September 26, 2005 but it was also unsuccessful there, missing top 40 singles chart, peaking at #47. This was her first solo single to do so. The failure of "Teary Eyed" could be partly due to the fact the video for the single was only released a week before the single was released in stores. Due to the failure of the single to chart in the top 40 in the UK, it was quickly withdrawn from radio playlists. In Australia however, It reached the Top 40 of the ARIA Chart, peaking at number 36, making it the singles highest charting position in any country. The video for the song made it to number 7 on the MTV Most Requested video playlist chart in Australia.
In October, "Teary Eyed" debuted at #18 on the U.S.'s Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart and only managed to peak at #17, one position higher. On the issue date of February 11, 2006, the song debuted at #45 on the Hot Dance Club Play, and in March, the song spent only one week on the Hot 100 Singles Sales chart. However, "Teary Eyed" wasn't a total U.S. failure, debuting within the top 20 of the Hot Dance Singles Sales chart.

“What avails it that you are a Christian, if you are not purer than the heathen, if you deny yourself no more, if you are not more religious? I know of many systems of religion esteemed heathenish whose precepts fill the reader with shame, and provoke him to new endeavors, though it be to the performance of rites merely.”
