Tamyra Gray is one of my favorite American Idol contestants. Many still believe that she should have won instead of Kelly Clarkson during the first season of American Idol. Her 4th place departure shocked America.
This is a great commercial for H&M. The songs featured are from Dreamgirls. But the story is played out Romeo and Juliet style. It features Mary J Blige, singing ‘When I First Saw You’ and Tamyra Gray performing “And I Am Telling You’.
Tamyra’s vocal and acting performance is amazing. Just listen to the emotions in her voice, its pure talent. I personally think it’s better than Jennifer Hudson’s Oscar winning performance in the movie Dreamgirls.

Whew! I agree - Tamyra’s voice is incredible and the raw emotion she infused with it. I can’t compare her to Jennifer Hudson (didn’t see “Dreamgirls”) but that last part of the clip where she’s running from officer to officer - pow! Doesn’t seem like acting which is what acting is all about - right?
She does sing the song like no other. I don’t understand why she hasn’t blown up yet. She is not only a singer but a song writer. Good to know she is still working.
I’ve seen Dreamgirls. Tamyra isn’t fit to play Effie. She is just two small. Now she could have played the third girl that no one ever really talks about. The one that slept with Eddie Murphy.
It is long for a commercial but that is why it’s on YouTube right? It’s great. Very well done. Glad to see MJB doing it as well.
