October 30th on AC or Hot AC.
I need to give it a listen to see if it's single worthy.

Hmm, I wonder if Melissa has passed her prime at Hot AC or if she still has some gas in the tank (see the Sheryl Crow debate). Seems like her sound appeals more to Triple A listeners these days, though I do hear her recurrents a decent amount of the time. This is a sweet Phantom Planet cover, btw  |

Are you sure? The liner notes says that all songs were written by Melissa... unless they recorded it first? Or are you doing one of those "hot (insert artist here with same song title) cover!"

Luckily for us, Hot AC doesn't pay much attention to her and her voice anymore.

It's weird IMO - "Come To My Window" is still all over HAC and AC, but all her other hits (including "I'm The Only One" which was much bigger) seemed to have faded somewhat btw doubt this is a cover of Phantom Planet's "California" if it's goin for adds at AC rather than Triple A |

Completely joking about Phantom Planet. I figured someone had to say it sooner or later.

I always figured Melissa as one of those musicians that you kinda have to like, or at least respect even if you don't like her music. lol. She's not really the type to be annoying as she's not in everyone's face or anything like that. I think, as a musician, she's very respectable so I'm curious to know why you don't like her. But I guess, then again, at the same time, her voice might be grating to some people too. |

I think that "Come to My Window" was catchy, but it wears out quickly and like atlantaboy said, it still gets more plays than her later singles. I think that "Am I the Only One?" is probably the only song of her's I don't switch the station over. Also, I thought that "need to wake up" song/video was a good song, even though I disagreed with the lyrics in it. Is she good live? Because she sang the National Anthem here for a NASCAR race and it was really lousy, IMO. |

I think 'Come To My Window' is one of the best songs of the 90s. So much so that I named it my #2 favourite 90s song when I compiled a list earlier this year. ;) ('you oughta know' was #1).
But yeah, for me, Melissa either delivers, or she doesn't. Half the time I love her song and half the time, it's "meh". It was only over the last couple of years that I really started to recognize her and appreciate how much I loved 'Come To My Window' and 'I'm The Only One' and even some of her other 90s material. I'm not too big on 'Message To Myself', the first single from the current album, and I'm not sure if I'll ever really catch on to this song. We'll see...

^Melissa Etheridge IMO has a lotta good songs from her earlier career (Bring Me Some Water, Like The Way I Do, etc.) - I also really like "Angels Would Fall" and "Enough Of Me" from her CD that came out around '99 I think
