I think she's my favorite American Idol contestant to date. She was just so incredible, vocally. And she's gorgeous, too! Here's her live performance of Love You Inside And Out from last season's Disco Night. I think this is one of her most underrated performances - it was so subtle and perfect. Her vocals were outstanding on such a dull song. I think this is a Bee Gee's cover but I'm not sure. s51.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1P771NJG6ATY124AKVTG33IFWU

I think what the losers (kinda harsh) or the contestants that didn't win have to realize that, it's important to have creative control, but you still have to make hot music, that people will be interested, your music can't sound like everything else that's out there, it has to stand apart.
And I hope that she doesn't come out the gate with some cheesy ballad.

About 85% of the singles that are hits, don't stand apart from everything else that's out there. I agree. But I can't see her working with Lil' Jon or Kanye West, so if she's going to go the R&B/Adult Contemporary route, I hope she does it right. Her voice is too good to waste.

True Say, but I would like her to do something that stands apart but also is something appealing I agree. But I can't see her working with Lil' Jon or Kanye West, so if she's going to go the R&B/Adult Contemporary route, I hope she does it right. Her voice is too good to waste.

I can't see her selling more than Justin Guarini, to be honest.....I thought she was quite a bore on AI.

I can't see her selling massively, but if they get her the right producers, she already has the hype and voice to probably sell over 500,000 to the Urban AC audience. That alone would be better than most of the non-winning idols. If she tries to market to Urban or Rhythmic, I think she'll fail. She's just too conservative for those formats.

at least she is not with "19" . they did such a horrible job promoting Tamyra's cd .at least Latoya has a better chance of being promoted better to radio whether uac,ac or jazz and selling from that exposure.

i wish her well but i'm a bit nervous. I saw the E! clip of her, and the song she was singing, while her voice sounded okay, was just...eww. And i'm just wondering what's up because it seems to be geared toward...nobody in particular.
But her website is so cute and awwww at her talking about forgetting a verse - that's endearing :)

I think she'll sell tremoundously under two conditions:
1) the album is promoted well 2) the songs are hot

So, I'd say that translates to "3 mounds at a time" or in this case, 3 cd's at a time. ...provided it is promoted well and the songs are hot. ;)

It just needs some airbrushing. looks like it's already been airbrushed... She's gonna flop simply because nobody cares about these Idol rejects. If she doesn't try superhard to seperate herself from this show and establish herself as Latoya London, and not "Latoya London of American Idol," she'll be done fast. So I hope she isn't relying on people caring about her just because she was a favorite on the show. Tamyra was dumb and pulled that card, and now she's off tapdancing and singing in front of the local Piggly Wiggly. But I think LaToya has what it takes to make a buzz at UAC at least. I want her to release a big ballad as her first single, even though it will defintely flop, but the big dramatic slow stuff is what she does best. NU TOY! I predict that a year after it's release, her album will have sold 460,000 copies.

That would actually be really good figures for someone who didn't win the show. Clay Aiken has skewed the expectations for runner-ups somewhat, and if you take him out of the equation the best selling non-winner out of ANY season is Josh Gracin, who's done less than 400K so far. And he did that in a niche (country), so LaToya might be able to do that in the Urban AC market.
That pic though? Don't like it.

I don't care how much it sells, I'm still going to support her and pick it up. I love LaToya's voice and I'm sure she'll have something I'll like on the album.
I want her to work with the producer(s) Anita Baker worked with on My Everything. That sound/style of music could bode well for her.
There's no way it would work if you saw something like, "LaToya London (Featuring Lil' Jon & Trillville) - Ya Ain't Gettin None," going for adds on All Access. It's not her style.
Urban AC would love a classy, sophisticated singer like LaToya, if she has the JAMS they crave to spin.

she does have a real beautiful voice .i watch some of her idol clips now and then and i have never heard a more powerful and beautiful version of "Somewhere" than Latoya's version and her "All By Myself" of course is more incredible than the original versions as well. ;DI would love to see longer versions of them on the cd since 90 seconds or so is much too short .

Tamyra is doing all right for herself . She finished a movie and is currently working on her second cd which should both be out by year end.

Tamyra was dumb and pulled that card, and now she's off tapdancing and singing in front of the local Piggly Wiggly. I don't think it's fair to put all the blame on Tamyra. I doubt she would have been marketed as the AI mascot if she had had the opportunity to get a deal with a company other than 19.

Tamyra is doing all right for herself I must've missed this, what with The Dreamer being the sales and singles (morons didn't release "Faces") disappointment that it was. I'm amazed she's getting the opportunity to record more. That said, I wish her the best and can only pray for all of us that she doesn't write any of the songs on the second album.
