^^ see thats why i have a problem with it. I mean I love that shes been so successful but I feel like she wouldn't be as successful without them. i feel like is a country star and her music is country and that if shes going to pursue pop radio success then she should be doing it with the orginals because otherwise people are falling in love with Taylor's real sound. like now in articles I see people refer to Taylor as a pop star and shes not a pop star. Shes a country star who happen to have success on pop radio. i feel as if its pop radios loss if they don't like the orginal. she shouldn't have to be something that she is not to please pop radio listeners.

Pop would have played LS either way, to be honest. They just chose to play the pop mix sent out on the promo CD.
And I agree with Will. The regular version was the huge iTunes seller, not the pop mix. Obviously people didn't care whether or not it was the "remix" or not, they just wanted to listen to the song.

Just for the record, the original LS version may have sold all the downloads, but I've never heard the original version of it on the CHR stations here. One of my HAC plays the original version, but that's it. Every other time I've heard it on a non-country station, it's the pop remix. And I'm sure a large percentage of people who downloaded it had no idea that the version they hear on CHR is the remix, hence why the original version has most of the downloads. In DC, the opposite was true. The HotAC station played only the remix, whereas the Pop station used to play ONLY the original version. Then, about 2 months in rotation, they played the remix in the mornings/afternoons and the original later in the day. In any case, I agree with Will's points that it shouldn't be that much of a problem for Taylor. At the end, every radio had the choice to play the original or the remix or both, and the Country roots of song were still present. Then, anyone buying on iTunes could preview the song before buying it also. I'm fine with Taylor's crossover and she reached for more audiences. Shania did the same... even LeAnn Rimes. And I think they may have done something good for country music, making Pop listeners more interested in checking a bit more of Country music, too.

I think Fearless or Breathe is gonna be fourth This is the best choice there is, such a jam! I don't know anyone who doesnt absolutely love this song! Count me first, then!! ;) Not really convinced at this. To me it sounds just cheesy and child-ish, but I can see I am in the minority. It is more country-sounding and I just don't find the appeal. It's not even that I don't like it, it's just okaaaaay. Well, I have to confess that the first time I heard it was in American Idol, when Stevie gave the worst performance in the Top36 with this song, so that may have had an effect. But the song as a whole for me is bland and boring. It may grow a bit later, as happened with Our Song (which I also felt indifferent and underwhelmed as a 2nd single). However, I also just listened to the Remix of You're Not Sorry and I can see THAT as a song I would root for. The original is not that good, but the Remix takes it to another level. Really cool! Hopefully YNS is the next Pop single

I'd like to hear the remix of this, assuming it's getting one. Might not be as bad as everyone thinks.

This is one of the spotlights for Cool New Music on Pop, and it links to the original version. Hopefully they don't remix it.

I'm pretty sure Kellie and Taylor are really good friends I mean they are touring together and she in Kellie's video. They speak highly of each other. The others are just casual chatting at award shows and stuff I'm sure.

The others are just casual chatting at award shows and stuff I'm sure. I actually wasn't trying to imply they weren't close friends lol. my point was kinda that Taylor has several close friends and she refers to all of them as her best friend because that how teenagers are. Taylor speaks very highly of all 4 of those girls, especially Abigial, Kellie and Miley. lol causal friends don't do what Miley and Taylor are doing in my signature lol. and I know they're touring together. it starts tonight!! I'm so excited to find out the set list :)

"My best friend Lesley said shes just being Miley" lol. lol, like i said they're teen girls they have a bunch of close friends and refer to all of them as they're best friends. All I know is Miley and Taylor have known eachother since before either released their first album, so they're not like red carpet fake friends. btw has anyone seen video from Taylor's tour? it looks amazing. am i allow to post video from her concert performance of YBWM in here? its what she opens the show with.
