Heh, atunes. I tend to think that this would do better on CHR than LO, which just seemed less CHR-friendly to me. I don't see it as a smash, but I think that it will do better than LO. Me too Folkfan. I think it should break into the top 20 and stay there without too much trouble. And as for the format, if LO got top 20, I'm pretty sure this will as well. And he always has HAC to fall back on, so he's not really all that dependent on CHR anyway. Yup. He'll do well on HAC, and if the video is as interesting as it seems he'll get good exposure from that too. So while he needs some pop play, it doesn't have to chart all that high on pop to be useful. |

Hmmmm... don't care so much about the kiss as what he was thinking with the whole shaggy hair/overgrown beard mountain man look he's sporting. Makes him look too old for the girl. Or like he's longing for the days of grunge.

On-screen kissing? My, my, we've come a long way from being a background to teenage angst in the LO video. LOL Seriously cannot wait for the video now. Between the kissing and the rumors about learning to sing the song backwards for the video, I'm personally intrigued.  |

Well maybe the vid will make up for how lukewarm I feel about the song.  |

Singing the song backwards would make sense--the song's title is "come back to me." Maybe the video will show scenes in reverse to indicate her... coming back to him... at which point he'll sing part of the song backwards.

Not because I'm jelaous or anything... ;) It's because he's looking a hot mess right now! Chubby, with a noticable combover, and dressing like this is 1993. I just want him to look hot if he's doing something like this. Where he's at right now... it's not cute.  |

Aww, DC is never going to be a male model and he's really not trying to be, I think that might even be part of his appeal. He manages to be attractive to a large group of people without having a perfect body or hair, because he's charismatic, sweet and talented (all debatable, of course, but I'm stating my own opinion). On his tour he's been very low maintenance, but for the video I do believe he had stylists there so at the very least wardrobe shouldn't be much of an issue. Personally, I don't care if he makes out with a girl in his video (even though I do find him attractive), but I am excited about him taking a bigger part in this one, playing the male lead, showing more of what he can do rather than fade into the background. I think this is a good step in the right direction, no matter how the video turns out. |

DC is very much like Kelly Clarkson in looks to me. In the sense that he's just a regular schmo, cute in a real world way, but not like a model or anything. The personality and talent adds to the package.
If you take his picture when he's walking around off stage in sweats and a dirty hat, it could go either way. When bothers to try and gets good styling, he's good looking. And when he performs, he's downright hot. There's like 3 people in there. LOL.
I'm real interested in this video. Looks like it might be about something. Unlike the video for Light On.

Not my favorite look for him, but he looks fine, especially from the front. Someone noted that in the other pictures from that article, you can see that DC is wearing a wedding ring but the girl is not. Thinking about this as a man trying to save his marriage makes me like the message of the song better.

^LOL, you guys are cracking me up with your critiques of his appearances. I'm more interested in the fact that the article about the video says the song comes out "next month." Which leads me to think the R&R date is correct, not the FMQB or All Access dates.

But his performance will generate buzz beforehand anyway, even if the add date is a month away. |

It looks like they moved his AI appearance. Next week is Opry week with Carrie/Randy and Brad Paisley as guests.

If indeed his add date is now in April. makes sense to have him perform closer to that date as well. If the theme is Opry week, this is probably not a last minute change but something that was planned well in advance. The only info we had came from fan reports, so it could have been wrong, or he could be taping an appearance this week for a later show. |

Just saw him while watching the ACC Tournament (Not intentionally, I'm a big ACC fan), and they were talking about the inspiration behind the song "Heroes." Probably his best song IMO, but I don't know why they randomly started talking to him about a song he's not even promoting in the middle of a college basketball tournament.  |

Probably his best song IMO, but I don't know why they randomly started talking to him about a song he's not even promoting in the middle of a college basketball tournament. Raycom, which owns the TV rights to SEC and ACC basketball, is using 'Heroes' as the theme song for both tournaments this year. The song has been used quite a bit for sports montages on ESPN, NBC, and just last week for European Champions League football (soccer). It's a great fit for those types of things, so IMO it's a no-brainer to take advantage of those opportunities whether the song is being promoted to radio or not. Given the exposure the song has gotten, I wouldn't be tremendously surprised if it is released as a single at some point (I personally think it's quite radio-friendly, though I know many disagree). But even if it's never promoted to radio, it's certainly not going to hurt album sales to have more of Cook's music in the public consciousness. |

I still say Heroes should have been single #2 because of the exposure it's getting right now on these sports tourneys. It's also more CHR-friendly than CBTM (although that's not saying much since CHR isn't playing a whole lot that isn't urban, heavy rhythmic or alt-pop), and it's a different tempo than LO, which CBTM really isn't. But CBTM should do alright.

April is shaping up to be a big month. I expect a new Green Day song soon (album is out in May) and then David will be going head to head with Rob Thomas' first single, "Her Diamonds." Kelly Clarkson's second single and Nickleback's second single? Lot of competition on pop and possibly HotAC. Won't know exactly what formats these songs will all be pushed on until we hear the new material from Green Day and Rob. The Fray's second single? Going to be a busy summer.  |
