Now, why didn't she sing it like this on the studio version? That was fucking amazing. She needs to be HUGE.

She is an outstanding vocalist. However, if she is willing to be an acoustic performer, she better release other types of songs.

I agree that she's clearly more comfortable with - and more talented at - a stripped/acoustic style. TV performance after TV performance confirms this (her only weak TV performance was the Ellen one, and that close to the original version of Nobody Love). But blame radio--and the people who listen to radio, for that matter--for driving her a more heavily produced, pop direction. Even here, I've seen a lot of acoustic/ballad type songs called 'boring.' The good thing is that her voice is big enough to work on these pop tracks. She's not just a style/tone singer; she's a powerhouse. Any update today? Glad z100 is ob board. Did they ever add NL? It was an On the Verge song, so Z100 would have had to add it.

Yes, she is definitely a powerhouse vocalist. That's why she should go for full-band performances.

Yeah - the recent Billboard article on her backs up both of those points:

As someone who's followed her before the YouTube stuff, I actually feel that it has pigeonholed her, as a vocalist and artist. She didn't learn to play the guitar until she was 15. Before that, it was all about the vocals. Now, she's kind of stuck in between a rock and a hard place because the public knows her for the acoustic stuff and for using a more soft, ethereal tone...which is fine at times. But the world has yet to see what she can really do, vocally. She also has a really cheesy writing style, but that's another subject. As I said in her album thread, I can see her making a "real" album in a few years.

I actually think her tone can get a bit irritating (less so live but on a record yes) if she goes into full on vocal beast mode. Ariana Grande happens to have a great tone with her powerful vocals but sounds somewhere between a baby Mariah Carey and any random girl off the block when she's being quieter. Tori is the opposite imo. The softer vocals fit Tori really well.
Agree about the writing style. She'll get there.

It'll take time but she's on the right path and she has single potential on the album. Steve and Scooter stand very firmly behind her

I much prefer this over NL so I hope it becomes her breakthrough hit.

This seems to be underperforming on iTunes just like NL.
Ugh, so frustrating. I hope it takes off somehow.

I also think a poster mentioned that it wasn't posting it's ITunes update on the daily radio updates. One day it was Num.130 but didn't show up. That's not awful considering it's only at 6.5 mill AI. However each week it seems like she's been on a show supporting it.

Great to see this doing well, where did NL peak? Hoping this will out-peak that.

Ugh, radio seems to be on board but the itunes performance is boggling.
Isn't it not resonating with the public? Does it need a discount to get it going? What gives?
I'll be damned if this doens't become a hit for her. :(

Out of the top 200 on iTunes. C'mon. Maybe they need to discount it to get it going.

Nice to see this going top 50 on rhythmic. I still have high hopes for this song. This girl is amazingly talented.
