Flashing Lights always says z100 added a song if they test spin it. (No offense, FL! :) )That's probably what it is though, a test spin.

If z100 has brains, they will spin this again, and then add it! This song so deserves to be huge! :)

I don't understand why people are so hard on her, honestly. At least she writes her "music" or whatever you want to call it- something you can't say about people like Britney. Britney is easily the better songstress of the two. Like it would be embarrassing and completely uncalled for to even compare them to each other.

Wow, I'm shocked. I just heard the studio version and I have to give Miley credit for surprising me. This is even worse than I expected it to be. I was hoping they'd at least touch up her voice a little better. She needs training to control her voice because it always sounds like she's struggling to control it and that is even apparent in the studio version of this song.

Geez, even the studio version of this sucks. There is no doubt in my mind payola was involved in making stations add this song because CHR wouldn't touch this if they couldn't even play "Fly On the Wall".

I'm pretty sure Fly on the Wall was too short for most stations.

Too short? Radio <3s short. Too long I could understand....
Regardless, I agree that FOTW wasn't a good fit for CHR, but this is even less of a fit for it....and considering CHR hasn't been too kind to Miley (save See You Again) it's odd to me that a bunch of stations are jumping to add this all of the sudden.

I thought FOTW was PERFECT for radio. However, I think they basically got the sales they wanted and ditched real support in order to move onto the soundtrack and this. :(

Radio doesn't like playing songs under 2:45. The last song that was shorter that was a hit was SOS At 2:33. Fly on the Wall (and similarly Like Whoa) were shorter than that.

This is so strange. There HAS to be something else involved here. What would make stations, especially Z100 jump on this track like they are when her previous single didn't even chart, the one before that barely made top 20, and her only hit See You Again being a while back? This just isn't a great enough song to warrant the reception it is getting IMO.

Regardless, 7 Things didn't exactly smash it up on CHR either and this is less radio-friendly then both that and FOTW, regardless of time. I agree with CircusFreak that it's a little weird that all of these big stations rushed to add this song when they've been hesitant to play her in the past.

Add me to the list of confused. A strangely non-radio friendly ballad with mediocre vocals from an artist whose last couple of singles weren't exactly smashes, yet even those were more radio friendly than this.

Love the song, hope it does well. They should send it to country too, why not I say. Apparently there's a country mix.

Haters really need to stay out of threads of artists they don't like. I mean, it makes no since to check up on news of people you don't like.
Glad this is doing so well so early! Good movie promo!

I think this is good. I think radio is interested because it seems to be such a break away from her normal style of music she releases as singles.

**people who just so happen to have an opinion that I disagree with and therefore I think it is inferior to mine** really need to stay out of threads of artists they don't like. I mean, it makes no since to check up on news of people you don't like. Glad this is doing so well so early! Good movie promo! Pulse isn't a fanboard and these aren't fan threads. People can post wherever they want. I don't think any of us ~h8erz~ are planning on following this song but we all just wanted to give our opinion on it, that's all.
