I just heard this a few days ago and I love it! Very fresh sounding and it reminds be of Natasha Bedingfield... It's the 4th most picked song now (per All Access). :)
Anyone love this too?

I love this too! I think it's more like Anna Nalick meets KT Tunstall!
It's very catchy, although it sounds more like a spring song than a fall song. I still hope radio gives this one a chance though. It sounds like a hit!

Billboard Review:
Eureka, Calif.-bred Sara Bareilles won a handful of music competitions while studying communications at the University of California at Los Angeles, but a major-label record deal was still years of open-mic nights away. Before signing with Epic Records in 2005, the gifted singer/songwriter worked as a waitress and co-produced her own demo, "Careful Confessions." First single "Love Song," from second full-length album "Little Voice," is an irresistible, piano-driven anti-ballad meshing the ethos of '70s soft rock superstars like Carole King with the seen-it-all world-weariness of Fiona Apple. Bareilles, who will tour with Maroon 5 this fall, has already proved she can connect with savvy Internet aficionados: Her tale of modern love and skepticism was the No. 1 download on iTunes for two weeks, propelling the album to a No. 45 launch on The Billboard 200. Now it's radio's turn to bring this promising new artist deserved mainstream acclaim.—Alexandra Cahill

She's made the top 40 and her bullet is slowly rising again. Touring with Maroon 5 should be very helpful, so I imagine the bullet will keep growing. Even though, I have no idea when the tour starts.

Looking good right now.
Anyone think this could follow Bubbly into the top10? Just like Blunt and Powter exploded back to back last year.
Not that the songs sounded exactly the same , I just think there might be more solo females in the upper regions of the chart again.

I think it's a good song... I just gave it a shot in rotation. I'm not sure though... I feel it's missing something, but can't put my finger on it.
Well see. I've been wrong before!

It was the sure shot on Rick Dees this week.
It debuted at #39 on AT40 this week.

I just saw that this went into the Top 20 now. That is awesome! I love this song.  Sara's CD is great, and she really impressed me at the Maroon 5 show. I wish this would become a hit at CHR too. |

Never heard this, but since so many of you guys "love it" and it's workin its way into the Top 20 I'd say it could be another one of those Augustana-Mat Kearney-KT Tunstall-Colbie Caillat slow climbers that turn out to be really big!! IMO if it's a good catchy song (and she's a new young artist) she could easily follow the coattails of Colbie Caillat into CHR (but better listen to the song before I say that) |

I like this song better than 'Bubbly'. I'd like to see it do well but for me, this seems more of a peak-in-the-teens-and-be-a-one-hit-wonder type of song.
That and it sounded better when it was 'Sweet Ones' by Sarah Slean.

I love this song, but I'm also afraid of one hit wonderitus at Hot AC (I fear the same for Colbie Caillat). They'll both have strong futures at Triple A, for sure. |

Hmmm, I never thought of 'Amazed' as being similar to 'Please Forgive Me'. And if I'm remembering the Lonestar song correctly (it's been years...), I can see it. LOL!
There are tons of songs that sound alike tho. That's just a random example.
I'm interested in hearing what else Sarah has to offer.

Finally heard this on a road trip...IMO really well produced/her voice is great/song is pretty mediocre and more like a Hot AC-filler song

Her voice is pretty good on other songs but yeah, I agree about the Hot AC filler thing.

^Yeah I knew there was a reason Triple A wasn't playin it (cause they can play "Hard Sun" and "Radio Nowhere" which IMO are def. much better songs than this one)...but she seems like a cool artist if she had a more interesting song to sing that could get some active callout

I'm not a big Hot AC guy (more of a rock/metal person) but for whatever reason, I really dig this song. There's something sorta edgy and sincere about it. And this is apparently doing quite well. You Hot AC folks have good taste.

The production is good but IMO this song is completely pointless...but looks like she's luckin out by havin it in a commercial and gettin huge I-Tunes downloads...looks like it's crackin the Top 40 CHR

Not too shabby. I'm not sure what the next #1 will be since there's nothing in the top 10 besides this son that is really hot right now. "Sorry" by Buckcherry has a chance and so does "No One" by Alicia Keys, but who knows. Maybe "Whatever It Takes" by Lifehouse will finally heat up and pass them all :)

There's WAY too much going on and everything is competing with everything else. I'd love to get Sara and her band back in the studio to redo this song so it doesn't sound so messy. |

^Weird lol I thought it was the complex instrumentation etc. that was intriguing so many CHRs to add this (along with all the downloads) - who knows...

Maybe it was my headphones. I haven't listened closely or critiquely to any songs that CHR plays to see if it's maybe like a pop music thing but I noticed it with this song when I was trying to pick it apart. There's just so much going on around the mid-range area.
