Urban AC is the one that will embrace her the most in the longrun though. They're just the type of format that needs a push to play a song. They're not going to just play it because of her AI relations.

Billboard review of it www.billboard.com/bb/reviews/single_article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000579495TAMYRA GRAY Raindrops Will Fall Producer(s): Louis Biancaniello, Sam Watters Writer(s): T. Gray, L. Biancaniello, S. Watters Publisher(s): not listed Genre: POP Label/Catalog Number: 19 Recordings/Universal 19RP0001 Source: Billboard Magazine Originally Reviewed: July 24, 2004 "American Idol" finalist Tamyra Gray co-wrote "I Believe," the first single by Fantasia, winner of the competition's 2004 edition. Gray's considerable songwriting talent is showcased to full effect on her own single. She breathes fresh life into the age-old things-will-get-better theme on this soaring anthem. At the same time, Gray's pristine vocals convey an emotional earnestness that recalls early Mariah Carey and Jennifer Holliday. The new single is just one of the solid selections on Gray's very promising debut album. While the song on its own is a testament to her formidable talent, it may have trouble clicking with radio programmers that are dealing with "AI" glut. But here is to hoping that Gray can elbow her way through the clutter. She deserves to be heard.—GM

Happy birthday Tamyra! I'm gonna try my best to get your video to #1 on TRL! I'm happy you chose to use a live performance to showcase your RAW TALENT, your voice, rather than result to a flashy, showy music video to hide it. Go Tamy!

Too bad this song didn't do better... it truly was a quality song.... maybe UAC will be more quick to embrace her next single when/if she releases one.

Had this song been released to radio through a major Record Company would radio stations have felt more amenable to playing it?

This song was a flop regardless of what label released it. I don't know how you can release something that sounds like Mariah Carey would have released 15 years ago and expect a hit.
