GRAY SURPRISED BY I TRY SUCCESS
MACY GRAY was convinced her biggest hit I TRY would be a commercial flop - she was certain the song was "not catchy enough" to top the charts.
The star shot to international fame following the single’s release in 1 999, and the track won her a Grammy Award in 2001 for Best Female Pop Voc al Performance.
Gray admits she was stunned by the song’s popularity - and she can’t be lieve her fans still know all the lyrics a decade later.
She tells Grazia magazine, "When I wrote my biggest hit, I Try, I didn’ t think it was a big deal. Too wordy, not catchy enough. So I was shocked when it became a success. And 10 years later people still know the words - that’s probably been the biggest surprise of my life. On YouTube peopl e play it on ukuleles."
