And apparently "All By Myself" will be on the album. Excellent.

"Scandalous" is HOT.
Not sold on the other three, however.

These are the exact type of songs I was hoping she wouldn't do. My favorite is easily "How I Love The Rain" which has a classic AC vibe. Narada Michael Walden did a good job on that one. The rest are really the type of songs that nobody is going to touch. I could see "How I Love The Rain" being a Smooth Jazz or AC hit or something though.

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. I was under the impression she DID have a deal with J(?), but they parted company because she wanted to release crap she'd wrote herself... ;)

here is the link to the chat transcripts that latoya and george huff did on april 8th. www.boston.com/ae/tv/idol_040805/ also an interview with latoya from the chatanooga times from april 11th. i got this from an msn board . i found this article/interview with Latoya from yesterday 4/11/05 on an msn board . Chattanooga Times Free Press (Tennessee) April 11, 2005 Monday HEADLINE: London believes losing'Idol' is not a bad thing Nabbing the grand prize on "American Idol" is a double-edged sword for the winner, believes singer Latoya London -- who was booted off the show last year despite Simon Cowell's and others' predictions that she would be The One. Fantasia Barrino ended up taking home the prize, but don't think it's sour grapes that has London talking. The amazing singer -- who has her own debut album coming out soon on Peak Records -- says of her loss, "Honestly, I was fine with it. It was really crazy on that show ... It was so stressful. And I felt like I kind of proved who I was at that point." She believes that had she won, "I wouldn't have any creative control over my career. They'd be telling me what to do every day." In the wake of Mario Vazquez dropping out of "Idol" last month -- with rampant speculation that he wanted to avoid the show's notoriously restrictive management contract -- some industryites wonder about the prospect of singers actually throwing the competition. London says she wouldn't be surprised if some of the contestants aren't finding ways to get booted off early to avoid such legal tie-ups. "I did think about that as well," she admits -- but stresses she didn't do it. "I didn't think, 'Well, let me go on and boot myself out,' but I did think that maybe if I didn't win, it would be better because I wouldn't be caught up in that long contract." She also says, "Fantasia is doing great, but she's getting worked to death, and she has been since she won the show ... They kind of treat you as a robot." London's almost done with the yet-untitled album she's been working on since December and says she expects the first single to drop within the next month. "It's going to be a well-rounded album, some inspirational songs, some really nice pop ballads and some urban R&B tracks, and these two hip-hop style songs may get on there just to give me some young flavor -- everybody thinks I'm old already," quips the 25-year-old.

There's a clip of LaToya singing Kelly's "Since U Been Gone" on her mall tour. It simply proves that talent means nothing when you choose songs that aren't written for you. I've lost a lot of respect for her after seeing it..

She is a talented singer (certainly among the top 5 from all four AI series). But at a certain point, you have to know your limits - it was a terrible, terrible choice for her. Any number of Kelly songs would've been much better suited to her voice.

From what I've read from people who were there, the segment of the show in which La Toya sang SUBG was a karaoke segment in which the singers did not get to choose what song they would be singing. Gee, 19 not giving people a choice-whoda thunk it? ;)

Okay, these sound a little better. She just doesn't have anything exciting about her, but these 2 new clips are more solid than the others, to me.

I'm not loving either of these new ones, and there's something about her voice on these records. I don't know if it's the way they're producing the track or if Latoya is just a really unconvincing studio singer. That's one of the problems I have with Tamyra's album. Fantasia, Kelly, and Ruben's songs actually sound like professional recordings and not television show related records.

i think she is the best diva of season 3 certainly better than Fantasia . if you win the show and have Clive Davis spend millions putting your album together for you ,you might have better songs but vocally Latoya blows the others from season 3 away .

this was posted on one of Latoya's boards about her upcoming singles for radio which was emailed from Latoya's label to a member.

Interesting that they're planning separate singles for Urban and Urban AC. Unfortunately, I think it will lead to 2 flops instead of 1 hit.
