I put off listening to this for a while because the early comments had me thinking I wouldn't like it much, but this is actually really pretty. I don't care for the Big Sean version much but either way it's frustrating thinking that this will probably not be any more of a hit than her previous singles. I just don't know what it is that is keeping her from connecting more with people, aside from the fact that her label really needs to be pushing her on HAC more.

#95 on iTunes, selling a lot better than the other two upon release. I really hope they get this one right, it has grown a lot on me and I want her to do well :(

I really hope she can eventually score a hit. She's quite talented and deserving of some chart success!

She is very talented but her songs are boring to me. Waiting for a power ballad aka K. Clarkson.

Very nice video. Not sure how much it'll help the song, but I'm hoping

Very nice video! I think this will do very well on HAC if it is pushed properly

This is pretty, but it sounds like a Ryan Tedder throwaway from 2008. She needs to bring her sound (and I emphasize the word sound vs anything else) into this decade. Same problem as her previous single. Great live performances aren't going to sell a recording that's drastically different in bad ways, especially not for an act that has yet to land a hit.
I can kinda see this making top 15 (more likely top 20), but I don't think this is the song she needs at all, especially at this format.

I just love her voice, geesh.
But I agree with Glove Slap. Also I really need for them to work on her image next era including straitening that hair. She's a pretty girl and I think that would do wonders for her.

Hmm. I think the hair makes her stand out in a good way (although she would probably look amazing with a blowout). I agree that her overall image needs work though. It's not even that it's currently bad, it's just nonexistent. She needs a signature style...for as much as Ariana gets knocked for her Lolita-esque look, it made her easily identifiable from the start.
The sound is tricky because I'm pretty sure that was an intentional thing - Nobody Love and Should've Been Us both have that 1998-r&b-meets-2008-pop-by-way-of-a-Leona-Lewis-producer (...dang, "Ryan Tedder" is a shorter way of saying that, isn't it?) feel to them. It's an attempt at being retro I guess. And I personally don't mind it, but after two songs where the public clearly doesn't care for it as much, it's probably time to make an adjustment. Hollow has that going on too, but is even more guilty of sounding like it should have been Rachel Platten's follow up to Fight Song. That kind of bolsters my opinion that the biggest blunder with Tori is really just that they're trying to push her directly to pop when she's a HAC artist at her core and would probably have an easier time crossing over to CHR after some HAC success.

I wonder if it's her will to follow a pop path or the record company. I think she could be more successful, especially on the long road, if she went for a more singer/songwriter path, kinda like Taylor Swift did. Should've Been Us was a great song, but it always sounded better without the pop gloss. I don't want her to fade away but she will if she continues like this.

Well, I personally don't think NL and SBU performed bad by any matters and her album has definitely exceeded my expectations in terms of numbers. Especially for an artist's debut album whose singles weren't huge. Debuting at #2 with 75k units is not too shabby. I say, if her singles keep performing similarly, peaking at #10-15 area, I'll say she's gonna be okay and eventually she'll find that one song that will blow up to be huge. It's not like Capitol (that's the label she's in, right?) is investing millions on her atuff anyways. I call this a solid debut era for her.

This passed White Iverson on the Monday update. White Iverson scraped the top 50 on Sunday night after a song got pulled (I think it was Powerful)

I like this. This is her first song to really feel like it fits her. I can actually hear her personality in it, unlike her past work.
Also, parts of this remind me of Taylor Swift's "The Outside." So how can I ever try to be better ---> Wrap me in love fill up my cup

Lots of hits in the UK and Price Tag and Domino were hits worldwide. Her material was much stronger than Tori's.
