If you live in the tri-state area (New York/New Jersey/Connecticut), the WB is on channel 11. It won't be airing nationally.

Deborah released her self-titled album on Arista Records in 1995. It was certified Gold and the follow-up album "One Wish" was certified Platinum and yielded the #1 hit "Nobody's Supposed To Be Here" (the longest-running #1 R&B song of all-time). Deborah has appeared on TV's "Nash Bridges" and the independent feature film "Love Come Down" with Larenz Tate.

Last fall, Deborah, Faith Evans and Nicci Gilbert auditioned for "Aida." Deborah was eventually cast and the rest, as they say, is history. She is phenomenal in the role.

New York does not need to hear about Aida! They see signs everywhere, LOL, Ohio needs to see her on TV.

Well, I was very reluctant (knowing my issue with stunt-casting) but I was also very curious, and my curiosity got the best of me. I taped it, and just watched it a little while ago.

I was pleasantly surprised. She's certainly no Heather Headley, but I was very impressed. She seemed to show a lot of emotion, and I was extremely happy to be hearing the song sung in its original key again. I'm not 100% sure if it was my VCR's tendency to mess with sound or not, but her pitch seemed to be a teeny bit flat at times. Not bad, though. Not bad at all.

Ohh man I can't believe I forgot to tape this, I was really curious about her performance! I'm glad to hear it's good though!
