??? Really? "Grow A Pear" & "Crazy Beautiful Life" don't sound like hits to you? ^ Maybe CBL but not GAP...I think it's premise is dumb and has too similar a chorus to Tik Tok.

'Grow a Pear' would be massive.

I see this peaking around #8 on CHR and missing the Top 10 on the Hot 100 and also not lasting long. Given WRWWR and this, I'm incredibly aggravated at the "oh look at me! I'm a hardcore, drunk 'n slutty party girl" image. I don't want her career to end, but I have a fear that it will. I really hope that if THS get released after this, everything can turn around for her. Already upset that Hungover (or Blind) didn't get released; now I'm starting to lose hope. I'm so disappointed...I have no clue what to say... :( let's get drunk and party all night ? that's what would Ke$ha do I'm not really into alcohol; dancing, yes, but alcohol, no. I'm sad that she's not wanting to switch up her image some; was hoping that she would.....oh, well; hope this is a success regardless. :)

KISS in Dallas has been spinning this heavily for almost a month now. The great response in the area might have been enough to seal this as a single choice.

Not a bad choice, but not the correct choice. She needed to release 'The Harold Song' to show some diversity. 'Blow' brings nothing new to the table. This will probably go, at least, Top 10 on CHR... but I don't see it going much higher than that. I see it peaking anywhere from 10 - 15 on the Hot 100, possibly becoming her first single to miss out on the Top 10.

I can't see this doing well at all. THS, CBL, or Sleazy would have been better choices.

If people wanted diversity we'd see more now. Instead we see upbeat dance/pop songs ruling the charts.

This is one of the tracks that highlight how little time was actually into cannibal. It's nice and all, but it burns insanely fast and there's nothing that really give it lasting appeal.
Given how this era's been handled, it doesn't seem RCA is putting much interest in this.

Nothing on the album would have been a hit after the first single, but THS would have been her best opportunity to show that she can do more then drunken party music. This is just a bad version of everything else she has done.

Did you know this song is about a terrorist attack?
"Tonight we're taking over, no one's getting out This place about to blow!"

This is an alright choice for the next single, I guess.
I would have picked "Cannibal" though. That song cracks me up every time I hear it and has an awesome sound.

Decent choice.
'Cannibal' or 'The Harold Song' would have been ten times better. The former is a crazy, crazy track and when it cuts to that bridge? Epic.

I think this will hit top 10 at the least. But next single it needs to be The Harold Song.

Although this is similar to what she has already done, the production sounds a lot different from the usual Dr. Luke, Benny and Max stuff. It doesn't incorporate as much of the recycled drum beats and synths like many of the other songs do. Still, this wasn't my first priority for the second single. Would of preferred her to put out 'The Harold Song' so she wouldn't look so one-dimensional. However, the song goes pretty hard anyway and it actually might be a smash.

As much as I like this song, this being a single right now is just another misstep in how she's being handled. I do hope it does well for her.

YASSSSS!!!! smash! this is so hot. how can people say that this will flop? Who knows? This song is going top 3 and all the people running around here screaming flop are going to claim, with hindsight, that they "of course" saw that Blow would "smash". People here are fickle, and thankfully, they don't work for record labels. You all want Grow a Pear as single over this? You all mad!?

This may be a hit, but it will do very little for her career or album. Shame, really, that no one will ever see how talented she really is.

Kinda disapointed tbh. Love Ke$ha and I like Blow, but I wanted Cannibal or The Harold Song, or even Sleazy(which I love, but am iffy about how it would do).
Hope it does well though, and I'll probably end up loving it eventually :)

honestly, every single song on this EP could be a single. But they still need to be released in a certain order. This was not the correct next move. I like this song, it has potential, but sadly this will underperform like some have said. It should've been either The Harold Song or C U Next Tuesday. But this is still good. I predict top 10 hot 100, and top 15 CHR.

I do love Blow but her team should have know better that the whole party girl image won't give you a very long career if you think long-term. People still see her as a joke even thought most of her songs are infectious but the public will get tired eventually. The Harold Song better be next or I just CAN'T....

Bad choice. This definitely go top 10 for sure but I hope it flops. Cannibal or THS should be the next single.

I'd go out on a limb and say this will end the era as well...if the monster hit We R Who We R couldn't sell Cannibal, there's no way this song is going to. I think Ke$ha made some big missteps for her long-term career this era. She could've released something like Blind, Hungover or The Harold Song to prove that she's more than just the untalented party girl but instead she just expanded on that image and made it even harder for her to break that image. Very true. But sometimes the whole 'party girl' image is actually what draws people to her. They like her irrelevance and youthfulness. The type of demographic that buy her music seem to embrace that. Then again, people will eventually get tired of her if she continues to be like this forever. Although I don't mind this choice, 'The Harold Song' would of been better as you said.

I would've preferred sleazy then the harold song followed by cannibal. Diversity at its best
