All his singles keep flopping. He and Nicole Scherzinger should go together. TWO HOT FLOPS!

I believe this song will be a hit for him.

This should do better than "Can We Chill", but it won't be a hit.

O wow. I'm surprised this will be released. Okay there is "Tattoo", "With You" (Chris Brown; will be his third single), and now "Go On Girl" which all sound the same. I love this song but what happen to "Say It".

They shouldn't have released "Can We Chill".
This was the only other song that I thought was commercial enough to cross over, so I'm happy they chose it.
Did they cancel plans for the re-release of his album (along with the new single written by the contest winner?)

One thing I can say, no matter how hard Can We Chill flopped, Urban radio played the hell out of that song. It's sad bacause Neyos solo career seemed so promising during his first album, but now this album hasn't produced any hits besides the 1st single. Maybe it's just the sophmore jinx, but apart of me thinks neyo may need to resort back to ghostwriting only. But who knows, this song may save him. I see it being a minor hit at Urban, but probably not impacting Pop.  |

I don't think it was so much the sophomore jinx as it was horrible single choices. "Because of You" was decent for the lead but he had much stronger tracks that he could've released in place of "Do You" and "Chill".

I think "Do You" was a nice single choice. "Crazy" should have been 3rd.

"Do You" was the wrong choice for second single and I think "Crazy" would've flopped. I never cared for that song. They never work the radio in his favor by sending songs out instead taking so much times between releases.

Also I think "Can We Chill" could've been a success if released earlier.

I don't think "Can We Chill" would've worked regardless of when released. Also, "Do You" was a hit on radio and reached #3 on R&B. I'm not really sure about this song but hopefully he can garner another R&B hit off this album.

Can We Chill should've NEVER EVER been released. It does seem as if it would work on crossover, but it's a little too quirky. I think Go On Girl will do well...better than Do you & Can We Chill. It seems as if Go On Girl will be in competition with Chris Brown's With you. They both sound alike.

If it wasn't for the hits that he was on by Fabolous and Rihanna, this single probably wouldn't have been released and the era may have been over.

People's logic is just off sometimes. These are the singles' track records:
Because of you Hot 100: #2 and R&B: #7
Do you Hot 100: #26 and R&B: #3
Because of you was a top ten hit on both the Hot 100 and R&B.
Do you made it to top ten on R&B and top 30 on Hot 100.
That's not the same as Nicole. Plus, both singles were solo releases.

Make It Work or Say It should've been released instead of Can We Chill. Make It Work had a great boost after SYTYCD.

I hate "Make It Work". Always have. It drags after the 1st verse  I have grown to love this. Best Irreplaceable-eque song yet. This is the only one that I probably will love. |

The problem is that the songs on the album are way to Adult R&B be be successful on multiple formats. Thats why BOY was the only song to make the top 5. That was probably the most radio friendly song on the enitre album. I hope Neyo and Def Jam learn from this mistake before they start on the next album.
