Tamia is pretty and has a nice voice, but she is totally boring and easy to forget. You wanted to like her but she never had the much of an "It"-factor. In order for someone like her to be a pop star, she would have needed to be carefully groomed down to the letter, with everything meticulously plotted and set up perfectly. She needed a powerful and manipulative svengali like Clive Davis or a Tommy Motolla, but didn't have that in Quincy Jones.
