I think that a comeback for Sara will probably be a long road, and if she is to have a big (ie. top 10) hit, it may take 25-30 weeks to do so. That being said, I like this song, and think that it has the possibility to bring Sara back. Her vocals still sound great, and I like the production on this. If RCA is committed to putting in the effort and resources, this could very well be a hit.

If RCA is committed to putting in the effort and resources, this could very well be a hit. Yes, I definitely think this song will not climb the charts incredibly fast, but I think that all signs suggest that Sara Evans and RCA Records are going to do everything in their power to get this to be a hit. The album isn't expected to drop until the Spring of '11, so I think they are giving it plenty of room to grow. EDIT: Sara put a photo of her music video shoot up on Facebook, and from the looks of it, she's playing the lead actress.

Terrific song. Sara has always been one of my favorite female artists, so I hope she's able to make a comeback.

There's no doubt in my mind that Sara will be put back on the Country Music Map after this song. It's BLOWING UP on Sirius radio, and the reaction the song has made with visitors to the fansite has been unbelieveable. EVERYBODY is searching for "Sara Evans - A Little Bit Stronger lyrics".

The two pics above are from Sara's twitter, documenting the video shoot of "A Little Bit Stronger". Can't wait to see how it turns out!

Yeah, the positive response here on the Pulse board has been similar to the reaction at Sirius/XM. Hope the video is really powerful -- I think this song will be huge...

I really do hope this blows up big on the country charts and puts her back on the map. I was disappointed that her career has been kind of put in the backseat the past few years, but this song is deserving of a big comeback. And IMHO she without a doubt has the best female voice in country music.

The song is just alright. But, damn, she looks stunning in those video caps.

This song is amazing, I just love it. The one thing I don't like however is how I have to wait till almost the end of September to download it

Video is directed by Peter Zavadil (Cheatin', A Real Fine Place to Start, Born to Fly)! Awesome news; the music video for "Born to Fly" has become iconic, and the other 2 videos listed are equally fantastic. Can't wait to see what they cranked out together this time.

This song will be on the Country Strong soundtrack album. It and "Country Strong" are the singles from that soundtrack at this point (although I could see the Paltrow/McGraw duet getting a shot too).

I have listened to this more and I think this will be the song to get her back. I think it will go Top 20, with potential to honestly just become another #1 for her. It's a great song and it showcases what Sara does best in the fact that her vocals are strong, and the production/sound of it doesn't get too busy and is unmistakably country.
I also feel that listeners will relate to this song and I predict the Callout will be very strong for this song. I expect it to take 26-30 weeks to climb, but I expect no worse than a Top 20 finish, which should be enough to have a successful second single.
But like I said, I won't be shocked at all if this one follows in "No Place That Far"'s footsteps and makes an unlikely trip to the top.

I saw her in October 2008, so I didn't get to hear any of her new album material though. That would've made it 10x better.

Anyone know when this is available to purchase? Probably another 3 or 4 weeks to go at least, since its not out to radio yet, and likely it will be released as a music download after the radio release. That's what they did for FJLALS anyway last year; I think the radio release was like July 19th and then it was available for DL in early August.

This was just sent out to radio. Oh really? That's great. Makes sense if country radio embraces this the way that satellite radio has been, then it'll probably get off to a head start before the add's date.

OMG are you kidding me? This woman is without a doubt gorgeous, especially for her age. Its hard to believe she's 39, because she easily looks like she's in her mid-20's like Kellie Pickler (my other visually-pleasing country female favorite).
Anyways, thats def. the best single cover art I've seen in quite awhile.
Now off to read the Roughstock review...
EDIT: Tony Brown produced this? I thought she was working w/ Nathan Chapman?

^ It might just be this song that Tony produce. Maybe he worked the whole soundtrack for Country Strong. It's very much possible.

^ It might just be this song that Tony produce. Maybe he worked the whole soundtrack for Country Strong. It's very much possible. Byron Gallimore produced "Country Strong" from the same soundtrack, according to this EW article, so it doesn't look like Tony Brown produced the whole soundtrack. Since we appear to have a few new posters to the forum who haven't done much to support their opinions about this song, I'm going to remind everyone to read and adhere to the Country Forum's Rules & Guidelines. Pulse is neither a chatroom nor a fan board, so this isn't the place for one-liner cheerleading posts and unsupported declarations that the song is amazing (nor is it the place for one-liner dismissals or unsupported declarations that the song is awful).
