^You said it! This would have made a MUCH better lead than Happy. This chorus is PURE JOY and the end runs are just magic. This along with My Hands are BY FAR my 2 it songs right now, these epic choruses are just too much for me to handle. I noticed that this and MH are both written by the same writers, do they have any other songs out there similiar to these?

Oh yes they can. She got a lead single, appearance, and an album release. The single and album underperformed. Not everyone can get the big promo if the album isn't profitable. All true, but without doubt the record label f-ed her over pretty bad with just about every management decision they've made up to this point. They chose the weakest lead single you could have gone with, had weird promo at weird times, didn't bother rushing out a single after the first one flopped hard, don't care about any input from the fans, continue to not take any responsibility for making mistakes, etc. Now we can add "lack of communication between label and radio stations". Uptempos are a must next time!

The B-Side to "I Got You" is written by both Arnthor Birgisson (Co-wrote MH and IGY, produced both MH and IGY) and Ina Wroldsen (Co-wrote MH), and it's called "Heartbeat" (also produced by Arnthor Birgisson): Production is nice, melody is great, too.

I think if they re-send this, then actually back it up and communicate to stations properly, it could easily do well. That with maybe an AI performance or Oprah? That could get her back on track. I was surprised at the willingness radio has towards Leona. They picked up IGY quite well after Happy. Just hoping the era isn't finished there, she deserves a lot of success IMO.

^An AI performance would definitely be a huge boost for her right now in the U.S.

It must have taken her about fifteen minutes to film her scenes.

Ughh I need this to do decently, ita she needs to sing this on idol and do the performance of her life. That will shoot her up on itunes for sure and hopefully get the ball running on radio. its such a beautiful song.
