LOL at the title (please keep it, mods!). He was actually on TMZ this week talking about how a lot of people just call him "Train" because they don't know his name. All I see this doing is promoting Pat Monahan. Is he planning to sign with Jive as a solo artist or something? I can't figure out why else they are so high on this awful remix.

I wonder how often Pat Monahan was confused for the late Patrick Moynihan, D-NY.

The addition of Pat is so illogical and so unnecessary. DNW.  |

Geez, it just leaked a few days ago. It doesn't even go for adds till next week. HAC doesn't usually play songs before the adds date unless it's very hyped or from a core artist. Kris isn't at core level, and this has no hype.
Give it about three weeks before you start yelling flop.

Other than everyones p***y aching of having Pat Monahan on the single mix, I don't see anything wrong with this. Hoping it catches on, starting with at AC!  |

That's about the same amt of days that radio knew about it, Jive put this out there at the last minute. I know some cant wait for this to be a flop like they were hoping for llwd but I don't think its an understatement to say its too early to be calling anything. |

Maybe I just don't get it, but apart from the obvious pandering, what exactly is wrong with having Monahan on the single? He's had ~50 times the success Allen has had. |

This song takes me long time to love it and this version isnt better than the original.at the end of the day,i hope that kris will have the success he needs.even if this become a hit,i just dont see this perform any better than other potential hit song from the album.

So assuming this does well on HAC... I guess Kris can still release a 3rd single that can cross-over to pop? Or is everyone convinced there won't be a 3rd single? Or that he won't ever be able to chart on pop again unless he releases a more pop friendly tune now?

I doubt they'll release another single. Maybe top 10 on HAC at best, 200K single sales, album sales stay around 2000/week. I feel even that is optimistic. Just like Cook's Come Back To Me, it won't encourage them to extend the era.

Just like Cook's Come Back To Me, it won't encourage them to extend the era. Yeah that seems realistic. So the bad with this choice is that it will spend his singles budget... Still, there are single worthy material on his CD, that could even cross-over, more so that on Cooks album. I am not 100% convinced we won't see a 3rd single... I mean, the label has to know this probably won't cross over to pop and expect sales accordingly. |

LOLOL @ the title! Other than everyones p***y aching of having Pat Monahan on the single mix, I don't see anything wrong with this. Hoping it catches on, starting with at AC! Maybe I just don't get it, but apart from the obvious pandering, what exactly is wrong with having Monahan on the single? He's had ~50 times the success Allen has had. Pat doesn't add anything to the song. He appears from no where, sings the bridge and sounds completely out of place. The song isn't great to begin with and Kris has much better songs. |

Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta will be on Oprah live this Friday (4/30) to support “No Phone Zone Day”. They will sing a duet but speculation is that Kris will also debute TT. We will have to wait and see.

I love nearly every song on Kris's cd. I think he did an excellent job with his debut set; however, one thing that made this song great was that it was from one perspective. It wasn't a "universal" story, it was unique to one storyteller. I find it lost a lot of meaning and feeling having another guy sing on the track.
If they were adding a performer, I would've preferred a female voice to give it a sort of "Need You Now" feel of back and forth.

^ ITA if anything poor Allison need all the exposure she can get, add her to the song and maybe do it back and forth not just the bridge certainly not. But its done and I can only hope for the best.

Can't wait for "Airplanes" to cross over so there can be a thread titled "Airplanes - B.O.B. ft. That Chick From Paramore"

The addition of Pat Monahan seems completely unnecessary to me, but I guess "The Truth" is OK as a single. It was never one of the ones I had considered (those being "Alright With Me", "Written All Over My Face" or "Before We Come Undone"), but I guess it works. It seems like more of a HotAC single than a pop one though, which makes me wonder why they didn't try for a more pop-friendly follow up to "Live Like We're Dying", and save "The Truth" for a HotAC-only single later on.

My thought exactly.. could have written every word. I'm a bit mystified with Jive to be honest. |

Hayley Williams of Paramore. ;) |
