In reply to Lake Erie.

I don't think it is fair to compare them. Tamar is ten years older than K. Michelle and has been in the industry since 1991 (First single was in 1991 as the Braxtons - Good Life). Tamar also had a solo album in 2001, 3 record contracts after that, and a shelved album in 2004. To me, K. Michelle is a newer / younger artist so comparing them is like comparing a seasoned artist with a newbie.
