Color Me Badd member marries Tamyra Gray from American Idol

http://people.aol.com/peo...38,00.html



American Idol season one finalist Tamyra Gray married Sam Watters, a songwriter and producer who was in the early '90s R&B group Color Me Badd, in Capri, Italy, on Saturday, PEOPLE has confirmed.

Gray, 27, and Watters, 36, wed before 45 guests on a cliff overlooking the ocean. After the ceremony, "They walked through the city and townspeople were opening their windows and cheering for them," Gray's manager, Lisa Braudé, tells PEOPLE.

The couple have been together for two years. They got engaged on Valentine's Day when Watters proposed with an antique diamond engagement ring in a platinum setting.

A fan favorite on American Idol in 2002, Gray has ventured into acting – she had a recurring role on Boston Legal in 2003, appeared in the 2005 indie film The Gospel and played a waitress on NBC's Las Vegas in March. In 2004 she released an album, The Dreamer.

Since his stint with Color Me Badd, which had a hit with "I Wanna Sex You Up," Watters has worked with partner Louis Biancaniello as a writer and producer for artists including Jessica Simpson (he co-wrote her song "A Public Affair"), Celine Dion and Kelly Clarkson. He also co-wrote, produced and arranged several songs on The Dreamer.

The newlyweds are currently honeymooning in Italy.
Ohhh you keep saying stay the niiiiiiiiight
Just let me rock you 'til the morning liiiiiiight

And much too late to driiiiiiiive
You know I need you baby
I'm so lost without your love

I'm not familiar with what list either of the wedding participants fall on, but Dear, have you actually ever BEEN to Capri??? It's hardly a Z-list destination and is actually one of the most beautiful places one earth lol.

I don't know much about the AI scene, but I can at least congratulate a sista for having the good fortune to married in such an extraodinary place as Capri; having the chance to see Blue Grotto alone is mindblowing cool

As in what, he wrote new lyrics to go over the music from Holiday (sung by Madonna written by Reggie Lucas) and Ain't No Mountain High Enough (written by Ashford and Simpson, sung by Diana Ross)?

That song even copies the fake timbales from Madonn's remix version, and the chorus is a direct lift from the Chorus of Diana's Ain't No Mountain!!!

Wow, interesting pair! Hope it works out for them. This is almost as shocking as hearing about (the rumor of) Eddie Murphy and Scary Spice being a couple . . . . . eek

Of course, they probably went with "I Adore Mi Amor." I can see it now:

He sings the first part to her.
Then the George Michael lookalike comes out of nowhere to sing the Spanish lines ("...y este sueno contigo sera verdad, yeah yeah!")
Then, Poor Man's Rick James sings his part.
Finally, the Vanilla Ice/Snow hybrid brings it home!

hah! "Poor Man's Rick James"

Although, I actually *liked* Brian Abrams' voice (the Vanilla Ice/Snow hybrid). He was kinda cute, too.
