#1 most added this week in HOT AC!
Could this mark the beginning of a success single for Fefe?

OUCH! (Review from next week's Billboard)...
FeFe Dobson's previous brush with fame, 2003's "Take Me Away," was a highly stylized "TRL" girly pop anthem that delivered a great hook with a modicum of gritty vocal personality from the Canadian singer/ songwriter. "Don't Let It Go," which launched second album "Don't Let It Go to Your Head" last summer, was a dreadful encore and now, seven months later, it remains hard to imagine Dobson extending fame with "This Is My Life." The song itself, well-written with veteran Billy Steinberg and craftily produced by Howard Benson (Cold, Hoobastank), is oversung to the point of being grating. This track would probably work well for the likes of Ashlee Simpson and has the qualities of a hit¡Xwithout Dobson's overwrought performance. Add her scary ripped-clothing and eyeliner-gobbed image and it feels like Island needs to rein in its artist's "individuality" and regroom her for mainstream acceptance. The individual elements are there, but on the whole, "Life" could be a death sentence for Dobson's tentative career. ¡XChuck Taylor

I think Fefe is going in the wrong direction. Her voice is too rough around the edges for a song like this.
