^Like you, I prefer WI. I think the double hook and the melody is more accessible than CYT. I think at this point, it's clear that pop isn't touching anything from her at thi point. She probably needs a huge r&b hit. Rhythmic may give it some spins if it gets high enough on the r&b singles charts. WI should be on the air before Valentines Day because it suits that theme perfectly.
However judging from how radio has treated, Toni Braxton's 'So Yesterday', Mariah's, 'HATEU' and 'IWKWLI' it looks like it may be hard for all the divas 40 and up to get spins on those formats i.e pop, chr

And Whitneys other songs where really just Urban AC songs, may'be they could have crossed over to r&b. But this song i believe will do great things for her.

This isn't going to do anything. If she's lucky it might crack the Top 40 on the R&B chart.

This is even more boring than her last two flop singles.

If she's lucky it might crack the Top 40 on the R&B chart. we will see as both er previous singles did better and MDB was #1 at urban a/c, dance and #16 or 19 on the Hot 100 r&b hip-hop charts- pretty decent and the album is milti plat so,,, WI is a decent song with a nice beat that should do well if given a chance a nice video is done and a physical single is released. People continue to underestimate Whitney.

I hope so but I don't see radio changing soon as we are into electronica/pop music now. I hope that radio will give them a chance but I don't see it ... Toni even though technically SY was only sent to urban a/c- they haven't exactly jumped on it either. It's been stuck at #16 or so for weeks and urban if they wanted to, could have jumped on it. Mariah_ I don't know what to think- her last 2 singles were rejected by all radio formats. While I personally think that the AC remix is strongr than UOMF, IDF's switch to UOMF as the lead single is telling. I think AC is fitting for MAriah and UOMF lyrics are just trite and silly for Mariah. I'm thinking AC didn't test well or radio preferred 1 over the next. My gut tells me that this albu, won't do well bit sales are low, 1st quarter is slow- who knows...we will have to wait and see but it's radio's lost for not playing the 3 divas music.

Trust me Mariahs Remix album is gonna set things off, her album was amazing as is but the Remix thats coming out is off the chain. I see this being a hit for Whitney, as for Toni this song is great i hope Urban spins it. But it still has'nt gained any traction. Even Mary J. Blige said that R&B is coming back strong. Take Maxwell,Alicia,Sade,Whitney, and even Mariahs latest effort has just been certified gold. So to me things are looking up, not to mention that Mary is doing well also.

It's not that people are being negative. It's being realistic based on past experience re radio's response to singles and what radio is playing now. Of course, you wish for the best but to ignore reality is not good.

Anybody believe "Salute" (an R. Kelly featured Remix may push this song even harder) would do better than this like I do?

i'm glad to see them still plugging singles but um why this , i rarely get through this song w/o turning it , this bored me to tears when i first listened to the album and after countless listens this is one of the ones i skip through they should have went with "Salute" or "For The Lovers"

I think it's a no brainer this song will soon be a killer #1 @ Urban AC.
It's just too good a song and seems tailor made for the format.
Hopefully some of that strong airplay will trickle over to Urban.
If this manages 20-30 million audience impressions, I'll be satisfied.
Anything over that will be gravy.
