I absolutely love this album and I think she will easily outsell all her fellow "Glee" costars albums. I hope she can debut Top 5.

Great interview & performance of "Cannonball" on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, but it could've been a big platform to debut the next single. Hoping for "Louder" here.
Does anyone have the Japanese bonus track, "To Find You" - it was written by Bonnie McKee.

"Battlefield" is pretty, but will kill any momentum of the album if it's the 2nd single. RS was right when they said "Cannonball" sunk, and this won't fare much better if she goes with it. Uptempo for 2nd single.

I'm impressed with those numbers since it's selling on her name alone.
Also, I've recently discovered the brilliance of "Don't Let Go." That or "On My Way" has to be the next single.

Rolling Stone gives the album 1.5/5 stars: Ouch. I know the review is meant to be negative; however, I read that and I'm thinking "the new Celine Dion!!!" If "insta-dated EDM-pop anthems and half-cocked bass drops" means straight-forward pop tunes with big vocals, I'm all for it. And "show-tune-style belting? Uh, yes, please ! ![](http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_llvk4rlS411qbn691.gif)

The second track on the album, a pop-rock anthem called “On My Way,” is one that encompasses Michele’s feelings when she’s in a relationship. The track reflects on being in love and not caring what anyone thinks in that moment. The song, originally planned to be the record’s first single. xxxHERES 'To Find You'.

I love Cannonball, Battlefield, Burn With You, and You're Mine. Louder is good, too. It's great to have a pop album that you can sing your heart out pretending you're just as good as the artist. Reminds me of the Celine-Mariah-Whitney heydays.

Billboard is calling this within the top 5 with 55-60k in sales. Not too shabby.

I'm impressed with those numbers. And good to see her doing more promo even after the album's out. Maybe she'll reveal the next single? Hopefully we get one...

Got the album in the mail today. It's about what I expected, but I still like her. "Cannonball" is better on the album that it was live, to me. The ballads/midtempos are the best tracks, plus "Louder."

"On My Way" announced as next single/performed on ELLEN this week.
Love this, was hoping for "Louder" but I can see OMW doing well in clubs with the right remixes and even on radio if they push it!!

"On My Way" was great on Ellen, and I'm so glad that she's getting a second single and that this is it. They better send it to radio too cause it has so much potential. I really can't with how her label has handled her singles thus far.

Yikes. What was with the backtrack on the chorus? Pretty weak performance from such a strong vocalist. If this and the lead single are indicative of the album, the record--and her career as a pop star--is a non-starter. It's just so bland and voiceless, and doesn't even sound particularly great on these types of songs. Their best bet would have had her do this during the first season of Glee, when she had all that buzz going for her. These songs sounds like they were written back then anyway.

That performance was quite off. But, that happens a lot with new artists working with backup singers during their debut eras. The song itself, though, is pretty good. It does sound a bit dated, but I still like it. Reminds me of some Hilary Duff tunes. (Where's her next album?!)

Yeah, I think the whole album feels a little dated.
I wish they'd have went with "Louder" instead of "On My Way."

Lea Michele deserves a little more success on radio than what she's received. ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png)

I just don't get why neither single was given a release date. It's not that hard to get her at least a little radio play. Come on now.
