Is her album still in the top 200? She needs a new single out! I say she should FINALLY release "Too Grown" and try to get a video on 106 & park.

As stated elsewhere, she needs a new label. Plus, this CD is over a year and a half old. It's time to move on.

www.blackprwire.com/display-news.asp?id=4112FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, May 01, 2008 CONTACT INFORMATION Nicole Neal McDonald’s USA, LLC (630) 623-2901 NICOLE.NEAL@US.MCD.COM Tracy Anderson Burrell Communications (312) 297-9875 TANDERSON@BURRELL.COM (BPRW) R&B STAR TAMIA HILL AND CELEBRITY STYLIST JUNE AMBROSE PAMPER MOMS STAYING AT A LOS ANGELES RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE ( BLACK PR WIRE) LOS ANGELES (May 1, 2008)—Grammy nominated R&B songstress Tamia Hill and fashion aficionado June Ambrose share more than a great sense of style —they are both mothers who enjoy giving back to other moms. The dedicated duo did just that for mothers with children suffering from terminal illnesses, when they joined forces with supermodel Cindy Crawford and other Celebrity Friends of Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC), to host a special Mother’s Day pampering event for mothers residing at the Ronald McDonald House in Los Angeles. During the celebration Ambrose offered moms exclusive styling tips typically reserved for her VIP clients, while Tamia entertained lively discussions with the group about the joys – and challenges – of motherhood. The 276 Ronald McDonald Houses across the country serve as a home away from home for families while their children receive treatment at nearby medical facilities. “I’m honored to have been able to spend time with these wonderful moms,” said Tamia Hill. “When I learned about Ronald McDonald House Charities and its programs, I knew this was an organization I wanted to support and contribute my time to.” TAMIA HILL AND JUNE AMBROSE

I've loved Tamia for a while now. My boyfriend used to have a poster of her on the wall from some magazine and I used to get jealous because she was so beautiful and a girl like me couldn't compete with that natural beauty.
And I just loove her album. She is probably my favorite artist of all time. 5 of my top 10 favorite songs are from this woman. Almost, Stranger In This House, Still, Can't Get Enough of You and You A Move On My HEartt.
The other songs in my alltime top 10 are We Belong Together, Cherry Pie by Def Leappard, I'll Be Loving You Long Time (new from MC), Almost Doesn't Count by Brandy and PYT by Michael JAckson. But tamia is that chick. She is so underrated and it's ashame.

Frankly Speaking: R&B Singer Tamia Talks Body ImagePosted May 31st 2008 7:11PM by Jawn Murray Filed under: BV Buzz By Jawn Murray, BlackVoices.com "There are times where I have certain insecurities about my body. Growing up, I have always been athletic and had big thighs. It took me a while to grow into myself and appreciate my body type. We (women) have to learn to be confident and comfortable with our bodies because there will always be someone telling us we need to change. For example, I grew up around the African American side of my family and when I visit, they tell me I'm too thin. But when I go to Los Angeles , I'm told that I could drop a few pounds." – R&B star Tamia talks about body image in an interview for LoveMyBody.org's 'Real Me' campaign.

adamsweblog.com/adamsweblog/Tamia Live At The Beacon Theatre In New York City 05.17.08========== Pictures: - Tamia and her backup singers - Tamia and her husband, NBA star Grant Hill who made a special appearance at the concert - The official Tamia & Jaheim Promo poster for the concert ========== I've always said that one of the many many things I wanted to do before I died was to see Tamia in concert. I'm in love with this woman, her angelic face, her impeccable, clean, beautiful voice, her playful and charming personality. Everything about her embodies grace and class. She's a wife and a mother, you never hear about her in the tabloids or of her hanging out with the wrong crowd. As I'm on the internet reading about her most men are saying that she's what you call "wifey material" and as gay as I am I couldn't agree more. When I first heard of her coming here, to New York to the Beacon Theatre, a place so strongly tied to black entertainment that it only pales in comparison to the Apollo I had to jump on it. All my life I'd heard of the Beacon, it's been home to all the chitlin' circuit black plays that come to town, all of the proverbial "Mama-I-Want-To-Sing-But-My-Arms-Are-Too-Short-To-Box-With-God" type plays. I'd never been to the theatre before and finally seeing Tamia was definitely a great reason to pay it a visit. Tamia was excellent and even though she was opening for Jaheim, she stole the show. I'm actually happy she performed first because I actually left in the middle of Jaheim's set. It's crazy that Tamia isn't headlining shows by now. She is so underrated, unappreciated, and slept on in the industry. Definitely one of the best female voices, period. She sang "You Put A Move On My Heart" and she sounds the same as she did when the song first came out 12 years ago. Jaheim, he's a cool guy and all and yes he has his fair share of hits, like "Diamond in Da Ruff", "Could it Be", "Fabulous" and "Never" which I love, but besides that his part of the show was kinda boring. Tamia sang about 15 selections from all four of her albums, she sounded effortlessly excellent on each one, hitting and quitting them. There were a few surprises and covers throughout her set, her renditions of Sheila E's "Glamorous Life" and Chaka Khan's "Sweet Thing" they were great but paled in comparison to when her surprise guest, her husband, NBA star Grant Hill came out on stage with her while she performed "Still", her ode to marriage. He stayed a while and did a piano solo before backing her up on her impromptu cover of the Notorious BIG's "One More Chance (remix)". Most people don't get into how playful and downright goofy Tamia can be at times and this was a great showing of it. The New York crowd went crazy for the song originally made by our hometown hero. It was a great concert. I got footage of twelve of the songs for you all. I didn't have the best seats in the world, so the footage isn't all that great but it does the job and besides, the audio is the most important part anyway. I have embedded her rendition of "One More Chance" along with "Stranger In My House" and "Missing You" below. You can check out ten more videos from the concert including "You Put A Move On My Heart", "Me", "Cant Get Enough", "Spend My Life/Sweet Thing", "Still", "Officially Missing You", "So Into You" and more on the A.

That Grape Juice Interview: TamiaThat Grape Juice caught up with R&B songstress Tamia last month as she prepared for the start of her North American tour. During the course of our conversation, the mother of two talked, among other things, music, her role as a mother and wife, the highs and lows of being an independent artist as well as living with Multiple Sclerosis. An insightful listen, if I must so myself :) Enjoy. PART 1: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkNGb6rBR24PART 2: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5UT9ZKxy4ASome Tidbits:*She's focused on promoting the album/tour, no plans for a 4th single *Has no clue as to why "Between Friends" wasn't submitted to the 2008 Grammys *She hasn't ruled out on rejoining a major label

Why is she not bothering to release another single? It's not like the album doesn't have one. And doesn't she run her own label? If so, doesn't she realize she has to submit herself?

She needs a major label in my opinion. If her CD has done so well on an indie label, it is no reason why it could not at least be Gold by now on a major label. Look at 2004's More maybe?

"More" never reached gold status. None of the singles ("Officially Missing You", "Questions", and "Still") really caught on.
