Agnes Carlsson = goddess. I pity the poor tasteless fools who dare to say a bad word about this masterpiece

That girl is really pretty, compared to the Lewis. At least in that photo.

Leona comparisons are inevitable guys. They look and sound like sister. She should take a few notes from this girl.

She looks somewhat like Leona from certain angles: She has a similar tone to her voice as well but their voices are not similar. There is more to voice than just tone.

I know, but obviously if they have a similar sounding tone, that's the first thing people are going to compare.

I really hope Agnes does well. I don't understand people who post comments to put people down. She is a very talented singer. Her genre choice might not be your cup of tea but you can't discredit her singing ability. This girl has made a name for herself as a fighter since Swedish Idol. She split from her label to record music that she preferred to make. I am European so maybe I am bias but there is nothing wrong with some feel good music. BEP's current no.1 samples a Euro dance beat ala David Guetta.
She is blowing up over here. Leona comparisons are inevitable but I think that will spark people's interest and hopefully make them listen to the song. After that whether people like it or not will make the song a success.

I finally heard this song, and it's quite literally unlistenable.

I liked her better when she was called Anastacia, LOL.

They could start by changing the single cover. Apparently they have for the US release: Found it on another forum. Not as good as the original.

Ew. They should keep the original one, what are they thinking? :o
I love this song, by the way.

I think it's because in the originial single cover she looks a lot like Leona. I think they did this to probably avoid confusion.

YAY! She's from Sweden! I love Agnes! I have all her 3 albums! I met her once too, she's really sweet. This track is great! :)
She's had really amazing songs before aswell. "Right Here, Right Now" (her Idol coronation song), "Kick Back Relax", "Champion", "On and On".
Here's the video for "Release Me" if anyone hasn't seen it yet.

It's a great song...and people would flip out if it was by Kelly Clarkson! Or a leona Lewis ballad version

Anastacia and Taylor Dayne sound exactly the same...but Agnes sounds nothing vocally like Anastacia...and this also doesn't sound like ANY song Anastacia ever recorded either.

Love this! The Leona comparison is obvious(to me at least). Hope it's a big hit, but doubt it!

While this is no Cobra Starship or LMFAO, this is at least more exciting than Leona. ;)

#1 on Breakouts For Hot Dance Club Songs, the Hot Dance Club-equivalent to Bubbling Under. Guess they're using the same tactics as for the UK, where they sent the song to dance clubs long before it made an impact on mainstream radio.

Yes, this is dance music, but its also a well constructed song.
When you get those 2 meshed correctly, as they have here, its ends up quite magical.
A complete contrast to the Cascada effort.
BTW, I had a look at her Idol performances on youtube as she seemed quite average (and thats being kind), she must have improved a lot since then.

She hasn't, the only thing that saved her from total suckitude in terms of vocals in this year's Melodifestivalen was the recorded backing track ;) But still! Who cares! I don't have to listen to a live version in my iTunes ;)

Is this the 4th single from Spirit or the first single from the second album?
