Can Tenitra (Michelle Williams of the last formation of Destiny's Child) make gospel mainstream?

[Bert.]

The only person who really could.

[JonathanLGardner]

Well


Heart to Yours
#1 Gospel. #6 Gospel Year End. #17 R&B


Do You Know
#2 Gospel. #25 Gospel Year-End. #28 R&B


If they send her singles to Urban and Urban Adult Contemporary, Tenitra could definately crossover like Mary Mary and slay R&B charts (as well as Dance - which she has already slayed).

[BLaCKPoWeR]

No. Mary Mary will slay ha.


Sure she can.

[JonathanLGardner]

This would have shat all over Urban had Matthew sent this out back in 2002!

[EdgeOfAddiction]

But why on earth would Gospel music be sent to Urban? Is that normal? The airwaves being graced one minute by Heart To Yours, the next cakecakecakecake ooh baby I like it...

Mary Mary is here for Tenitra. They co-wrote and performed a track with Tenitra for her debut (which I posted above) and here is Erica from the group with Michelle on her opening night of Aida on Broadway in 2003.



Here are Erica and Tina reunited with Tenitra in 2011

Because it can crossover.

Mary Mary's "Shackles (Praise You)" and "God In Me" got heavy rotation on Urban.

"Shackles (Praise You)"
US Hot 100 (#28)
US R&B (#9)

"God In Me"
US Hot 100 (#68)
US R&B (#5)


Those songs wouldn't have charted like that without Urban and Top40/Rhythmic play.
