This is really bland to me. "Take A Bow", aside from BL, is the only interesting track from this album, IMO.

No, it will probably be the 3rd US single.

? That's a huge compliment. But he meant it in another way. No. I was simply stating that it reminded me of something on 'Breakaway'.

I prefer Misses Glass to Forgive Me myself. I also think I Will Be would sound great on the radio and would really enable her to showcase her voice in live promos, which I don;t think Bleeding Love really does. Agreed. I prefer the ending of misses glass and the start of forgive me.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they never released TAB, since Rihanna's song was so successful. Thats whats annoying that she went and recorded it to get in there before leona. I hope they still release it, its a great track and would be such a waste if they dont.

Nope, it's one of my favs too. I'm just not sure it has enough impact for radio.

I never liked Leona's Take a Bow anyway. I think the single plan should be Bleeding Love, Better in Time, Forgive Me, Angel, I Will Be.

You think Angel is better than Take A Bow? :o It's interesting how different people's tastes are. IMO Take A Bow is one of the edgiest on the album and I think it shows a whole different side to her. It could have a great video too if they made it slightly dark and gothic, a little like Behind These Hazel Eyes. Maybe have her hair and make-up something like this: I'd love to see her playing a woman scorned in a video.

Take a bow (Leona's) is too dragging and it sounds like she is trying too hard to be current.

'Yesterday' is my favorite from the album but it will flop on radio. :(

take a bow sounds like an old 1998 celine dion track trying to be hip and R&B influenced. i like it, it just seems soooo old

I wonder if the adds date will change if she is shooting the "Forgive Me" video now. Both songs are good for radio, but they should hold off on this until the fall/winter.

If it were up to me, the single order would go something like the following: Bleeding LoveForgive Me (Summer) Better In Time (Fall) Misses Glass I'm You -If the loop wasn't so tired, "Angel" could have been a smash. Hell...it still could be, since no one seems to notice. -I'm pretty sure "I Will Be" will close out the era but I don't care for it too much. -The album may not flow and mesh well but there is plenty of single material here.

Shocked that take a bow isnt feeling much love on here coz that seems to be a fan favorite elsewhere.
I dont think its sounds like its trying to be current ala celine, leona has a voice that suits rnb much better than celines. I think its fits right in, but like everything else on the album it has an old school vibe to it which never hurt bleeding love or BIT.
My single order would go-
BL forgive me better in time take a bow i will be misses glass/or angel
