I can't at all the negativity surrounding this song. I hope it smashes just to shut people up. ^THIS

Yes, but there's still no Pop adds date nor have there been any Pop spins. Your HAC updates go in the HAC thread unless this song starts A) Getting adds in Pop or B) Gets spins in Pop
This is not a general song discussion thread. This is for Pop airplay. The HAC updates of an HAC-only song go in the HAC thread
It's called an avatar.

SS, not trying to pick a fight here. I was just reading Adam's single thread, and you've posted pictures of Adam's friend. I was simply trying to point out that pictures of the artist's friend are no more relevant than HAC adds discussed in CHR. That is all.

I don't mind the HAC updates here since we have nothing else to talk about...I don't always go to the HAC section or remember to.

This got 7 adds on HAC today including NYC. Not bad, not bad at all.

No, I don't mind the HAC updates, sorry if that's the impression I gave. I don't tend to go to the HAC section either.

Ok so I'm confused (this HAC discussion aside).. is there a POP add date on this already or are we waiting?

Why aren't you posting the HAC news in the HAC thread? This thread is for Pop, and this song hasn't done anything on Pop. Help me out here, is this any less relevant than posting pictures of the artist's friend? ![:love:](http://i.imgur.com/2smy76v.gif)

I know, I'm surprised at how it's doing. The album track is there for the taking so I didn't think this would crack the top 1000. ![:-x](http://images.proboards.com/lipsrsealed.gif)

Regardless of how the song performs, those comments posted from Kris really say it all. He is in a very tricky place right now as far as continuing to get his music career going.

How is he in a tricky position? Most artists don't have control over what their singles are, his fans just decided to throw a bitch fit over it, so much so that it was publicized. I don't think Kris is in a particularly unique situation.

I don't think Kris is in a particularly unique situation. Agreed. It's rare that an artist and their label agree on every decision - especially when it comes to singles. Sometimes there are fights with the label that even become public. Frankly, if the artist and the label agreed on everything then I would think there was something wrong with both of them. lol. The label's interest is $$ and the artist's interest (if they're a real "artist") is music. Those two interests only meet some of the time.

Still, it is the most stupid second single choice that I've ever seen. I can't think of a worse one.

I don't think Kris is in a particularly unique situation. It's tricky because I don't think he has done enough to date to cement his prospects for a career beyond 5 years at this point. Having the label make the decision to add a "hot" artist to the track doesn't give me a warm, fuzzy feeling. I've been following a lot of artists for a long time and that raises a warning flag in my book. If Kris had 4-5 hits behind him and this was done...no biggie. However, that's not the case here. Pat was put on the song to increase the chances that Kris wasn't going to be a one-hit AI winner wonder. You may not agree and that's fine, too.

I don't think this song is bad at all...was able to grow into the Pat Monahan version, I think it should do great.

#TheTruth is the third highest trending topic on Twitter right now. Pretty cool. Well, to be fair, #TheTruth is an easy thing to get trending once it makes the top 10 (and EW's Michael Slezak & Kris's wife helped that happen). Once it makes Top 10 then people start tweeting things that have nothing to do with the song, like Bruno Mars just tweeted: "#thetruth is i couldnt have done it without Jesus."
