*****SHOW YOUR LOVE WEEK - FEBRUARY 8 - 15*****
Show Your Love for your Valentines, O-Town, J Records & Your Favorite
Music Retailer!
It is time to remember your friends and loved ones for Valentine's Day this
week. The usual one-pound box of chocolates in a heart-shaped box costs $15
at a national chain of candy stores. For the same price, you can show your
love, not only for those on your gift list, but also for O-Town, J Records
and your favorite music retailer! Give a gift that keeps on giving! Please
buy copies of O2 for those on your Valentine's Day gift list! If those on
your gift list already have O2, don’t forget about O-Town’s other
CDs, DVDs and merchandise. Check our music and merchandise
pages for more info. And if you know that you are on someone’s Valentine's
Day gift list, please let them know that you would love to have O2 or one
of O-Town’s other CDs, DVDs or some O-Town merchandise. Even if you don’t
plan on giving or getting gifts for Valentine's Day, you can Show Your Love
for O-Town! Please call the DJ of your local Top 40 station once each day
this week and politely request “I Showed Her.” It is best to call
an evening DJ or a DJ that is hosting a request countdown show.

"I Showed Her" Gets Glowing Review by Billboard (February
15, 2003 Issue)
(Credit and thanks to Maura who posted this review at IO at 3:51 p.m. on 2/10/03)
"Once in a rare while, a ballad hits the mainstream radar that is so
instantly affecting, it takes radio and the public's collective ear by thunderous
storm. "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera is certainly one such lightning
bolt—as is the glorious "I Showed Her" from O-Town. Say what
you will about boy bands or downtempo pop in today's climate: this record
positively transcends stigma. Written, produced, and arranged by Shep Crawford—who
has created masterful works for the likes of Luther Vandross, Kelly Price,
Yolanda Adams, Whitney Houston, and Boyz II Men—this track is simple,
meaningful, and direct, building to a splendid chorus that is so beautiful,
you'll wonder how such a pleasing chord progression has never been crafted
before. So much of what's out there today is instantly disposable. This is
a timeless melodic jewel, deserving of dramatic success."—Chuck
Taylor for Billboard Magazine (Single Spotlight)
