Although I'm dissapointed Rihanna won't be on a remix anymore, I am happy this is being released

Funny how this came full circle. The CHR adds dates went: Paranoid to Say You Will to See You In My Nightmares to Amazing and back to Paranoid.

I like this song, but Rihanna would have guaranteed this a hit.

I like this song, but Rihanna would have guaranteed this a hit. Or guaranteed this a flop. Rihanna overexposure + her real life drama = disappointing single run.

I find it crazy that this was being released in late January, and now its being released in late March. I definitely don't think the label was expecting Heartless to blow up like it did.

I just saw the video for "Welcome to Heartbreak" featuring Kid Cudi. First time I've both heard the song and seen the video - the pixels remind me a lot of streaming video on the Internet.

I actually believe this because it makes sense. Paranoid has been gaining for a few weeks, Heartless is starting to fall and the adds date is soon. Paranoid is BY FAR the best next choice for pop though it may be one of my least-favorites on the album (though I still love it). I hope it goes top 5!

I like this song, but Rihanna would have guaranteed this a hit. Rihanna's not guaranteeing anything but her own hits (if that now). I love the fact that she's not on it. This is a top 5 smash in the making.

One of my least favourite songs on the album. I find it really boring. They should've gone with "Amazing" "Robocop" or "See You In My Nightmares" instead.
I just noticed "Amazing" is taking off at Rhythmic. So was "Paranoid" sent here and "Amazing" sent to Rhythmic and Urban?

I like this song, but Rihanna would have guaranteed this a hit. Or guaranteed this a flop. Rihanna overexposure + her real life drama = disappointing single run. I agree and many people are polarized with Rihanna and her "decisions." Kanye will have a hit regardless since he is played on multi-formats. It is a matter of if he is going to have a top 10 hit or is it going to barely stay in the top 40.

Kanye > Rihanna
Therefore, he doesn't need her for a hit. :)

This is having a heck of a time getting going. I'm surprised, because I think it's one of his poppiest singles by far, and it's a lot more radio friendly than LL was, imo. This needs that Rihanna remix!

I'm not sure how well 'See You In My Nightmares' would have fared, it's not nearly as approachable as a song like 'Heartless' imo. I prefer 'Amazing', but this is a wise choice for Pop. Shouldn't have too much trouble... I'm agreeing with letting Rihanna go. I'm a big fan, but she's been a mainstay since 'Umbrella' and she's starting to annoy me.

Good single, they should trim off some of the instrumental for a radio edit though. (saying this if they already haven't - because I heard it on the radio the other day and it was like the song was never gonna end lol)

808's is definitely a very instrumental album. The majority of the songs have long instrumental parts, actually Heartless is one of the only ones that doesn't.

this is a really good song but it's either gonna be a slow-burner or a flop I'm hoping it'll just be a slow-burner
