I see this propelling Valora to the ranks of Halestorm if she releases a lead single after this song is done.

Valora is actually a band. I did have a quick nose on their myspace... not impressed.

Halestorm has been around awhile and Lzzy Hale is a fucking awesome singer even if their songs are sorta ehh. Valora isn't going to reach those heights, especially because her contributions to "Blow Me Away" make the song worse. |

Yeah, but bad acts usually do well on active rock. ;)

Yeah, but they usually at least have an appeal to dumb people. For instance, I can see why people like "Sick", but that doesn't change the fact that it's bad. I just don't think Valora has enough to appeal to anyone because there are so many acts that are better at filling that specific role.

I hope the article is wrong. Breaking benjamin is an amazing band and I would hate to see them break up. |

Not only is the article probably not wrong, but Tunelab had this covered like a year ago. Nobody believed them though. Who's laughing now?

Also, no wonder they chose to remix Blow Me Away for the single. Because they were doing it all behind Ben's back.

Well, considering how GOD AWFUL this version is compared to the original, I've now re-earned some respect for Ben, and feel even more justified in my opinion that the original version was so much better.

^ Sketchy.
Funny that "Lights Out" has outpeaked this so far. I thought that song was a lot harder and less alternative than "Blow Me Away." On the other hand, alternative chart is pretty competitive at the moment.
