If Tattoo can be one of the worst songs I've ever heard and go Top 10, Kris can get pretty far with this song. Amen.

Underwhelming. And I hate that his first single is a cover. Ditto. Isn't he supposed to be a singer/songwriter?

But it's a "cover" almost no one has heard- it's not like he's doing "Umbrella." This sounds like a hit to me, I liked it instantly.

I don't like when he people say they have a "singer/songwriter vibe" if they don't write. I'll reserve judgement til I hear it but if it's a bonus track for The Script, is it really good enough to be the debut single for the most recent American Idol winner?

It was a B-side for one of their singles, so it didn't make the album. However, it might not have made their album not because it "wasn't good enough"...it could also have been cut because it didn't fit in with the rest of the album or for some other reasons.

Tomorrow morning at 7:40 AM on Z100. Kris will apparently be there too, maybe for an interview.

Actually no one knows for sure if it's exactly the same as The Script's version. If he changes the lyrics to the other verses, he may have a co-write credit (kind of like Daughtry with "It's Not Over") Let's just wait and hear the full version before jumping to conclusions. MTV Jim Cantiello tweeted as well that he will be there to interview Kris. ETA: Single premiere on Z100!

Didn't love it, but it's an ok song. It's too rushed, I have trouble understanding what he's saying. The chorus is pretty catchy and cool, but the rest is just meh. Too bad it's exactly like the original. There's not one small change... it would have been cool if it wasn't a copy. But that's just a detail, it's not like people even know about the other one.
I think it can do good though, and it would have been a great summer song.

kind of catchy and better than most of what he did on Idol at least .6 out of 10.

BORING. This may be one of the crappiest songs I have ever heard in my life. Watch it go Top 20 anyways. MY new prediction is...this will barely go Top 40 at best. I guess Mr. Allen does not know what a good song sounds like. Shinedown's Second Chance and If You Only Knew, anyone? If this only had at least half of the catchiness of IYOK, then I would say that it may go Top 30. But, I will not purchase this single nor his album. As a matter of fact, I can no longer wait for Mariah's, Carrie's, and Lady A's new albums. Go ahead and give me a warning; I'm ready. I am definitely not going to recommend this song for others. The obsessed Kris Allen American Idol fans will like anything, so it'll sound good for them. As far as the non-Idol fanbase, he'll probably attract no more than a few.

It's not awful - middle of the road stuff. I did NOT like the end though where he is supposedly "getting all into it." I thought that part sounded terrible.

Yeah, it's not as good as that little clip I heard. Maybe top 20 on CHR but that's about it. I can see people getting sick of this song very quickly.

The beginning is kind of boring. Chorus is really catchy. He has a really nice recording voice. No predictions of its success. Someone made a comparison to "Tattoo" and I agree. I like this one a bit better than that one so if Jive can make one a success see no reason they can't do the same here... if they are inclined.
Wish him luck with it.

Not awful, although I don't personally like it very much and it sounds like James Morrison. Almost exactly in fact. I find it a bit worrying that anyone thought this was good enough for him to release as a first single. Adam Lambert please.

If I didn't know better, I'd think I was listening to Jason Mraz circa 2005: "Geek In The Pink". It's not particularly impressive on first listen but strikes me as a grower. He really needs to work on his enunciation though. Overall, it's a decent first single. Decent enough to introduce him to radio.

The Script's version is definitely better, imo, and I don't even like their version either. My 2nd least favorite Idol winner debut single, after Just To Feel That Way, though it's just slightly better than that.
I would so bet hard cold cash on this flopping hard. I don't think there's been more of a sure thing in the music world than this flopping in a long time.
