If she doesn't win the Grammy for this song I don't think she'll ever win another Grammy. I really really hope this does something. I hope there's a video and I hope it's just hauntingly beautiful.

As much as I hate to admit it LeAnn will NOT be winning another Grammy as long as she and Miss Underwood are nominated in the same categories. The Grammy will ALWAYS go to Carrie Underwood. She is the new "it" girl. The only person that has a chance at beating out Carrie is Faith Hill and I'm not sure about that anymore... LeAnn vocals blow them all away, but we know how the industry is...

I don't buy that. Sure, she has been the "it" girl for the past few years, but that will wear off.

I couldn't agree with you more. Although I don't see LeAnn winning a Grammy for this song, I really don't see Carrie winning any either.

But come to think of it, it is the Grammy's, not the CMA's or the ACM's. From what I've seen, the Grammy's generally give the award to a deserving nominee.

If she doesn't win the Grammy for this song I don't think she'll ever win another Grammy. I disagree. I think it's a matter of buzz and commercial impact coming together at the right time for LeAnn. Maybe it will happen for this song, maybe it won't. Regardless, I think LeAnn is more than capable of coming up with something in the future that stands a good chance. I've never bought arguments about how X awards show (whether the Grammys, CMAs, or ACMs) tends to reward the "deserving" more than the others. Those sort of assertions tend to be driven by which awards show deigned to award a person's favorite artist, and not by any real assessment of the voters, voting process or the annual winners and nominees. From where I stand, the voters for all these awards shows tend to be influenced by media, campaigns, etc., as well as their own predilections, and I don't think any awards voting body can be singled out for being more merit-driven than the other. I mean, think about it. The ACMs are generally considered the most commercially-driven awards show for country artists, yet the ACMs are the only awards show to recognize Miranda Lambert in the Album of the Year category (both the Grammys and CMAs didn't even nominate it; and it's also worth noting that the previous year's winner in that category was Carrie Underwood's Some Hearts). That goes to show that, among other things, timing (especially well-timed buzz) tends to matter. So, too, does the label group to which you belong. And other things, of course -- having a good combination of commercial impact and critical acclaim matter, too. Didn't Lee Ann Womack's There's More Where That Came From get snubbed by the Grammys despite ruling the CMAs in 2005? I could go on. The bottom line is that a lot of things that have nothing to do with the quality of music tend to impact awards show nominations and wins, and that applies equally to the ACMs, CMAs and the Grammys. So while I enjoy it when artists I think are deserving get nominated for and win those awards, that's far from the be-all and end-all as far as I'm concerned.

LeAnn is not done winning awards. She is only 25, she has years to come out with great music- IMO, she's only gettin' better so hopefully it's a trend.
As for the Grammys, if Carrie stops winning, I can only see Taylor Swift winning over her RIGHT NOW...This is country music though and things do change.
Don't give up, LeAnn will win again (she already did @ the CMTs). I am sure the Kenny tour has not been in vain, surely that will result in some recognition (even if it does not reflect in sales).
**I think I posted a while ago and it may have gotten removed for some reason. If so, I meant nothing by it (it was a comment about the "it" girl of country), I am not a big fan of anyone except LeAnn so was not meaning anything against anyone, it must have just sounded wrong. My apologies.
EDIT: I think this song could be bigger than NBTD in terms of how it impacts listeners- or the popularity in the fans' eyes. NBTD seemed to be a well received song from the public, it just did not work on radio. This may be the senario with this song. It has already been much talked about on various blogs and I've not seen too many negative comments about it. Hopefully it will have a strong fan base that may get LeAnn some new fans, which I think is what she needs most right now.
I think she will come up with a great video for this song. She has done this song for a while and has wanted it to be a single so surely she has an idea and I hope it's something that will open eyes and translate emotion.

I must admit, I own all Leanns albums but I think she is over. As long as voice continues to deteriorate and her music becomes increasingly predictable. Its sad. I think she needs a vocal coach to teach her how to pronounce lyrics while singing and get her voice back to where it was ten years ago. I also think she needs new writing partners and management. She needs to bring it soon. The image she is portraying these days is boring. She needs another Coyote Ugly.

^Wow, her voice is deteriorating, you really think so? I know some people have problems with the way she SINGS, but I don't think her voice is failing at all- in fact, I just saw her live last month and it was the best I'd ever seen her.
And I don't think she's done. Yes- she needs new management and perhaps record label but she has made it this far and I do not see her failing anytime soon. Sure, she hasn't had a Top 10 in over a year, but she is also a female and there are not many of them having a good time at radio right now (or sales at that).

I think the main thing people forget is that country music really only supports one maybe two females to superstar status at a time. The trend over the last 15 years seems to have been Reba, Shania, LeAnn, Faith Hill, Martina McBride, Gretchen Wilson, and now Carrie Underwood, almost in that order.

I completely agree with this and it's really a shame. Though I would say Taylor Swift is THIS close to being called a Superstar right now.

I really hope I'm wrong, but looking at trends in voting and in certain categories, i'm not so sure of her chances.

To an extent I can agree with the vocal coach recommendation (only for the purposes of pronunciation/diction). However, she needs to get with a record label that will push her (promotion wise).

yeah. This song is great, very voice is superb on this specific song. She needs more of these. I also love the song Family though, its a strong song and should be the final single after this one.

I'd hate to see "Fight" go unreleased. Agreed. But then, I can say the same for most of the album. (Upper Hand, I Want You With Me, Something I Can Feel, and especially When You Love Someone Like That) ETA: Pretty Things and One Day Too Long are two of the best songs on the album, but I don't think they'd make good singles.

"Fight" is the big hit off this album...I have had that feeling for a while now. It is even radio friendly, whereas most things on the album are not- WICC is only because of the edit.
But I do feel like "Fight" could be a potential Top 10 for LeAnn.

LeAnn has got to perform this thing on TV somewhere. I'm still upset that she had to sing "Family" at the ACMs. Blahhh. She would have stolen the show.

Wow- did anyone see the big promotion for this song in this week's Country Aircheck?- HA, what a joke!
She gets a little mention on a general CURB ad with three other artists and her name and add date (which has been bumped back a week to Aug. 25th- surprise!) under a photo ad for Heidi Newfield. With this type of promotion you know this song will go all the way to Top 50 and stall out there without ever being noticed at radio.
