The snippet sounds radio friendly...that's the good news. It's a hybrid of Mraz/DeGraw sound that I like.
But I'm concerned after listening to the entire song from The Scripts's LLWD. The verses are terrible and it was difficult for me to get into the song until the chorus kicked in.
I'm hoping Team Kris has totally revamped the verses and keep only the chorus from The Script's version. If they don't rework the rest of the song, I think Kris might be in a bit of trouble.....The first 50 sec of the song was really rough for me.

Just like Taylor, his career's over before it ever got started. This will do nothing, followed by a 2nd single that will do even more nothing, followed by him being dropped from Jive. Bank on it.

So he needed to come extra strong if he wanted a shot. If this is the best they have for 1st single, his album's gonna be a huge bomb like I figured.

Love Kris, but I was really hoping he hadn't covered this song. It's awful (based on the demo) & I'm not loving the clip either. :(

I hope you're right. I get an instinctual satisfaction when anybody from Idol fails miserably (Kelly and Carrie don't apply; they're actually relevant). The less Idol crap on the airwaves, the better. EDIT: Don't hate! It's instinctual, I have no control over it.

It's not really even that I dislike her or her music, I just find it very entertaining when she bombs.

Why, because they can actually sing? Or because they are in this for the music and don't give a crap about being famous and being in the media? Or maybe because they're actually really nice people who tend to care about their fans? I wish other artist would have more of the idol's quality.
The chorus of this songs is catchy (the rest of the song is not as good), I think with the right promo this could do something. Even if doesn't, I doubt Jive would drop him. Who was the last artist they dropped?

I think this could do ok on CHR. I will predict top 20 and anything else would be icing on the cake.

It's quite bland, cliched and soundalike-ish, but that's always been Kris' niche. This should perform decently.

He may be there to premiere it. In an interview from Tuesday he said in the next week or two he is going to Detroit (Ford event with Adam), Boston (his show with David Gray), New York, London, etc. If he's in Boston on Saturday, it would be logical that he could be in NYC on Monday
