so i wonder if my theory will be right on what i said in the other Meghan threads . she will have a break from her tour after March 21st through April 9th where she could perform this hopefully being the 3rd single at the iHeart Radio Awards and or Kids Choice Awards where she is nominated.

I'm sorry , but does anyone actually think she has quality when it comes to vocal talent. The music of her songs isn't too bad, but her vocals...To say they are annoying would be a compliment. I certainly think she has a ton of vocal talent. Meghan Trainor is not a belter. It's not her voice. But she frankly has really consistent, great live vocals that are way better than what we see from Katy Perry and Taylor Swift. She has very smooth vocals. If you see her do acoustic performances, they sound particularly great. Her not being a belter also means she stays comfortably within her vocal range, doesn't try and do anything tricky, and you can ALWAYS a count on her sounding good. I've watched a lot of her performances, and it just hit me that I've genuinely never heard her be bad or shaky. Ever. She kind of reminds me of Ed Sheeran in this regard, actually!

This was such an obvious choice from when she first released the EP. I'm sure it'll be another smash for her.

Already peaked at #2 on my chart--but this should have continued staying power--far better than anything else I've heard from the Title album.

You can call her voice annoying, but I don't think you can say she doesn't have vocal talent. Those two things are pretty different.

No thanks.
What a missed opportunity for the John Legend duet.

No thanks. What a missed opportunity for the John Legend duet. Yes because the John Legend duet can ONLY be released right now or forever hold its peace. *eyeroll* Totally. It has the same beat, the same melody, similar lyrics, references "Bass", everything it needs to be another AATB ripoff. You're so astute for pointing this out.

Best and clearest choice for #3. This is gonna be MASSIVE! It's consistency digitally makes me think this is the Dark Horse of 2015. The John Legend one isn't really single material. Title next and close out the Era on a high note!

I have mixed feelings about this being the next single. I love it and I think its great, but I do think it will sound like more of the same compared to the first two singles. Hopefully they make a great video for it though. Lots of potential for that with the lyrics and subject matter.

if its performance down under is foreshadowing anything, it's that people will still enjoy this, but it won't smash like it deserved to simply because it's coming after two same-y songs (rather than the duet).
nonetheless i'm glad it's getting single treatment. i'm sure "title" will as well (i think they already filmed the video for it), and i'm hoping they'll go five deep for the duet.

If they release Title next, it will be the greatest pop release since like Teenage Dream, imo. Much greater (and more impact) than Ariana.

Decent choice I can get behind. As long as LIGLY gets single treatment. And Credit, but that's simply because I personally love Credit, not because I think it's a smash single.

No thanks. What a missed opportunity for the John Legend duet. I wonder if they have any choice in the matter. Kelly Clarkson has a John Legend duet as well, and though her album will have come out after Meghan's, we know she recorded "Run Run Run" while she was pregnant. John may have already committed to that being a single and it's under contract that his duet with Meghan won't be released so as to not be in conflict with "Run Run Run." Not sure if there are any signs pointing to that, but it wouldn't be unheard of.

You just answered why the John Legend duet should be released now. She is in a Sam Smith's situation, the song itself it's not the problem, and there is such good buzz around her that the song could end being a nice hit, but it would be better a change of path (even if this was released as third single)

The John Legend song should not be now. Period. She's a new act building her brand with a sound no one else is doing. You don't go for the "mix-things-up" song when radio isn't tired of what she's doing now and she's still establishing herself.
"Dear Future Husband" is the right call.

She's a new act. It's only the third single. It's not redundant. There's two more single slots they can send out the duet, and Meghan wants it to be a single. It'll get released. So what's the issue?

theflying I think what people are trying to say is playing it this 'safe' might ruin her momentum. I liked 'Beg for It' but it was a under-performing rehash and Iggy isn't guaranteed that 'Trouble' is going to perform well and her era may be over. Same goes for Sam Smith. Meghan Trainor may be having the same issue here. Don't get me wrong, it's a good song and could do well, but releasing something that is more inventive may be the best choice for her as an artist.

This song could very well be a #1 contender. I don't understand how anyone could say this is not a great song. It's leagues better than anything else right now.

I repeat she is in the same position Sam Smith was when he released Lay me down. It's not people not liking the song or thinking it's not good it's that it's the third slow song in a row, and there's a risk of people getting tired when the song would be perfect for a fourth single release after an uptempo single.
Here it's the same, it's not people not liking the song (people like the song, it was several weeks on the hot 100 without airplay support) it's simply that she is playing the same trick for the third time, and it could work or not.
Anyway, her album is selling, so even if the song fails there's room for a change in the fourth single without killing the era. That's why i think she is closer to Sam Smith than to Iggy Azalea, Iggy's album sales are pretty decent but weak in comparission with her singles success.
She needs to get a hit with a song wihtout the doo up sound if she wants an smooth transition to her second era, because i doubt she'll come back with that same song next time.
There's enough good buzz around her to carry to song to top 20 without much problem (at least that's what i think) and it will be there when we'll see if the song has legs to be a sizable hit like the previous two singles
