People need to discover this album. It is 10x better than anything a male singer has put out for a while.

I saw him a few days ago singing "God Bless America" at a televised baseball game. Forget where, but he looked and sounded great!

Kris announced at his Fresh 102.7 Fresh In The Park concert yesterday that he will have a 2nd single out "pretty soon". This may coincide with his Yahoo music interview/performances that will run each week throughout September beginning 9/4. Kris taped the interview & performances last week. You can view videos from the concert on this Youtube thread; www.youtube.com/user/J9BT?feature=watch

Glad to hear he's getting a second single. This album deserves to be successful.

I heard "The Vision Of Love" in Macy's the other day. :) It was a nice surprise to hear one of his songs out.

"My Weakness" needs to happen. It's the perfect single for him.

I has been confirmed that Kris is indeed signed with Stirling McIlwaine at Pearl Group Entertainment who also manage Daughtry.
Stirling managed Kris when he initially signed with 19M back in 2009 but It was reported in Aug. 2011 that he had left 19E to start his own management company taking Daughtry with him.

I'd be happy with either "My Weakness" or "Better With You," so I'm glad to see those are the options they're considering. Hopefully he can score another hit or two this era, at least on HAC.

I need an October release for My Weakness complete with a three week promotional radio tour, an interview and performance on Ellen, as well as performances throughout October - December on Leno, Kimmel, Fallon, Live W/Kelly, The View, GMA, Letterman, DWTS, The Voice, The X Factor, the AMA's, Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, Christmas at Rockefeller Center & 5 Jingle Ball concerts in Dec. Not to mention simultaneous adds dates on HAC & CHR & a video premiere on E News. Sounds possible right?

he's starting to perform BWY everywhere, so guessing that's the song they decided to go with. :/

This song is so... ugh. I like the live version, but every song on the album is better. :( I really hope he's just tricking us. Two terrible choices for the second single per album is just not a good idea.

I think it's actually the second-best choice for a single, but "My Weakness" would be miles away the better option. No confirmation from any of the usual adds dates sources yet, but I've been watching closely with fingers crossed, hehe.

I don't understand why he hasn't been promoted more. His songs aren't necessarily new sounding or anything but if bands like The Fray can find success Kris should be able to also.

Maybe he's just performing Better With You for all these appearances because it's easier to sing live than MW? But I think it probably will be the single. I could think of worse choices but I like My Weakness more.

Ugh, BWY is okay but just very generic and is not the song that could revive a dead (stillborn?) era.

My Weakness is the best choice for next single. MAYBE Blindfolded, that would be my second choice. I love Better With You, but there are much better songs. If they lower the key of My Weakness it would be a lot easier to sing, and they could easily do that... PLEASE KRIS, PLEASE.

With My Weakness, I don't think it's the key so much as the whistling...he could always perform to a track though if it came to that. They should really pick the strongest song, not the one that means to most to him or is the easiest to perform.

So is the era over or is he switching? IDGI, but I'm not surprised. :(

"I wanted to let everyone know that RCA and I have decided to split ways. I thank them so much for everything that they did for me. There are so many people there that contributed to my becoming the artist that I am and I will miss them all.. In saying that, I am really excited about what is ahead. The path has never been clearer to me. I love what I do and I will never stop. So, to my amazing fans, thank you so much for everything so far but things are only gonna get more fun. I promise" www.whosay.com/krisallen/content/398729?wsref=tw&code=CwA4cW5
