I like this. From what I have seen of him, this is the style I imagined for him, and this works wonderfully.
ETA: I like this one the most of the three, even more than Clark's.

Up to #4 on iTunes. Whoa.
Here's the first FOX Sports use of the song (for those who didn't watch Idol, the winner's song is also going to be used as FOX's theme song for their coverage of the Women's World Cup, hence why they all have a triumphant/champion-type theme):

After seeing him perform, I really enjoy this song! It's pretty good, and I wouldn't mind hearing this on the radio!

I hope they push this like they did with "Home". I think this one has a lot of potential in it. I like it a lot.

Under Cool New Music. Cover artwork:  The audio on AllAccess is a new edit that begins with "oh, what a beautiful life" (from the chorus) before the verse kicks in and, before the final chorus, a background "whoo!" is added in place of Nick singing "The..." before "...last night" etc. Scintillating, I know. |

The sales were great but radio was reluctant to play it, it missed top 40 and fall off the chart, but then the olympics start and the song gain new life on sales and airplay. I always find surprising how reluctant pop radio is to play talent show contestants, specially because they have no problem with playing foreign talent show contestants |

How many adds has this gotten on Pop so far? I hear it's off to a good start so far, add-wise?

adds mean nothing if it doesn't keep being played! even though i like the song, i don't see it do too many things on pop! a younger daughtry is still a daughtry and daughtry is not to be found on the pop charts these days

Yay! So happy this is getting airplay! Honestly, I'm really surprised that this entered the Top 50 on Pop before it did on HAC.

The song is ok, but it's not Home.
And by the way, maybe it's because it's a lot of time watching talent shows, but lately i'm less and less impressed with the voices of people winning this kind of shows
