I hope he sings something different next week. Not only is LLWD not good live (no live performance has ever significantly boosted its sales), it's also a horrible song to sing for Haiti. ITA. Yeah the best version of LLWD is the album version lol, poor Kris its such a wordy song and it is hard to sing live. I've loved only like a couple performances but yeah no more, its selling on it's own. He needs to sing another song to help its sales on itunes even if its not going to be the second single. Maybe Let it Rain, that's an inspirational song, will be interesting to see. tiwnana, I get what you're saying but Jive cant wait forever, and I don't think they will. I think by end of March the latest, we'll know as well. As soon as it looks like its closer to peaking, go ahead with the next single. Better to sacrifice a couple spots on the charts and keep momentum. This song will have stiff competition for the Top 10 if only it had updates like this a couple weeks earlier. It can keep it up but other songs will have to fall and it seems like radio just wont let songs like Down go lol. Plus yeah he has Kesha, LA, beiber and Adam breathing down his neck and all will likely pass him soon. So at some point once you're approaching that brick wall its time to move on. Let the Pd's start to slowly replace this with the next single. Another poster described it best.

I don't want them waiting too long, as soon as it looks like its closer to peaking, go ahead with the next single. Better to sacrifice a couple spots on the charts and keep momentum. Then to have this lagging, let the Pd's start to slowly replace this with the next single. Another poster described this best. Oh no, if the song starts losing spins before then of course they have to move on. I was just hoping against hope that LLWD would hang around until then. I know its a long shot... I'm thinking this has a 2-3 weeks left at best. But then again with this song, you never know. I think he's more likely to go for adds with something new by mid-March.

Of all things I heard "Let It Rain" in a grocery store today! And a chain, as in, it was playing in ALL their stores at that time! I walked in because they have one of the banks i use in their store and it's open later, so I don't normally shop that store tho, but when I walked in it caught me so off guard I thought "WTF SONG IS THIS THIS IS SUCH A GOOD SONG WHERE DO I KNOW IT, WHO IS IT? OMG THEY'RE PLAYING THIS...ITS .. ?? OMG KRIS!!!!!!!!!"

^agree but i kinda dont think he will reach #1 with 9000 spins..... oh no,if kris perform on feb25 then llwd wont reach 1 million at that time and they wont present him the platinum thing... Week 21: 66,000~ (+15%, 871,000~ total) these r just itunes sales right? so next week he roughly will be around 931,000-941,000 with amazon sales added in i think hed hit platnium and they could present it EDIT: i think i might be wrong now i have the feeling that those are the total sales not the itunes sales

^^i think it is the total sales.in 1 week time,it wont reach platinum.maybe he will be back in the top 12 result show.i wonder if he will sing the song next week on idol to push the song's sale.
love the spins and the bullets.i still cant believe llwd has like 15 weeks of average 350 spins and still continue climbing.i never see a song move like this before.i am so enjoy the run of this song.

Is he performing in Haiti? or are they just doing a montage of his visit?
Live Like We're Dying wouldn't be a good choice for anything connected to Haiti...

From AI:
During the Idol results show on Thursday, Feb. 25 8/7c, Kris will perform and will share footage of his trip to raise awareness and funds that will benefit those in need via one of this year’s Idol Gives Back beneficiaries, the UN Foundation.
Still don't think singing Live Like We're Dying is appropriate after showing footage of people who are actually dying.

I want him to sing BWCU but I don't think it's inappropriate if he does LLWD. Especially if they emphasize the need your donations NOW deal. LLWD is not about death, it's about doing what you can now because you never know when you won't be able to. The "Sometimes we fall down, can't get back up" line relates. Also, the "what do you wish you would have done."

Yeah LLWD is not a song about death, its actually quite the opposite about living life to its fullest. But if he sang the song, it will be taken literally oh he mentioned the word, dying... so I'm sure he won't sing it. At least not in relation to anything re Haiti.
