"Number One" will be 15-year-old Skye Sweetnam's first single off her debut album "Noise From The Basement," which is scheduled for release on April 20 on Capitol Records. "Number One" will go to radio in "early February," according to the press release. Her single "Billy S." from the "How To Deal" soundtrack last summer will appear on her album as well.

"Billy S" was a horrible, horrible song. It had to be the stupidest song of the year. You know a song is bad, when the lyrics contain:
Teachers treat us all like clones
"Sit up straight, take off your headphones"
I dont blame them
They get paid
Money, money whoo!
Lotsa money, money whoo!
Yes, we really don't need to read Billy Shakespere when we have rhymes like these. 
Just another Avril clone, but 1000x worse.

Lotsa money, money whoo! I loved the lyrics because they were very rebellious and sounded exactly like how her young audience would think. A 15-year-old singing age-appropriate lyrics about hating school; how rare is that?  Who thinks "Number One" will go number one? |

Who thinks "Number One" will go number one? It will come close, but no cigar! The title is too arrogant. |

Skye Sweetnam, I love her song "Billy S." It is currently #2 on my personal chart looking to get #1.
Hope her next song is good.

"Number One" has been pushed back to goodness knows when on radio. Skye is opening for Britney right now, so that's good publicity.. but so many artists have opened for Britney and have been forgotten. Listen to "Number One" (keep forwarding till the song shows up): www2.fanscape.com/contests/samsungspring/player.swfIt's not offensive, but it's not very memorable. I can't imagine how "Number One" will be able to fit on radio or Radio Disney. --- I'd rather choose "Smoke and Mirrors," a track from her upcoming album "Noise From The Basement." Nice lyrics, nice tempo. The lyrics are something teens can relate to. Listen (I think it's a live version though): "Smoke and Mirrors" (album track)Another album track: "Tangled Up In Me" (album track) |

"Smoke & Mirrors" would be a way better song to release. Is their two versions? I heard two of them but I don't like the album one.

I guess they took the "Smoke & Mirrors" live version off the final release of the album? I agree because the album version didn't stand out for me.

Bad choice. I think the only thing that might save Skye is "Fallen Through". That has lots of potential. "I Don't Care" might have been a good choice as well. *shrug*
"Number One"? I don't think it'll crack the top 40. I might be wrong, but I just don't see potential here. "Tangled Up In Me" was decent, and only made the high-30's. This one is less than decent, so how much can we expect?
I hope her label puts out "Fallen Through". It might be too late, but it'd be nice to see if Pop radio gives her a chance.

I hear this fairly often on z103, it's #2 on their Pizza Pizza Music Menu (damn, that made me hungry...)
Heard it today...the fast-talking is clever because it's different and makes the track stand out, but the song itself is nothing special.
I saw the video for Tangled Up In Me maybe once, but never in its entirety. But it looked really low-budget, from what I could tell.
The label can't expect her to have a hit when they gave her $50 to shoot the video for the first single.
She is another act performing tomorrow night at Kissmas Bash in Buffalo, I believe.
Skye gotta get that paper!

Actually, there was a more elaborate "Tangled Up In Me" video which WAS shot which involved Skye and a sleepover. It was suppose to be the single for the movie "Sleepover" but somehow it didn't work out and wasn't on the soundtrack, although the song is still in the movie I heard.

Ohh I see...hmm wow that sucks for her...I dont get why the label wouldn't release that "better" video though, it only helps them...unless they were restricted |

Number One started off Strong, but is now stuck in the low 60's (60-63)... but should get a push when the video is out... I see this song Entering top 40.. and peaking between 19-29*

I really like the dark hair look on The dark hair definitely goes well with her. Kudos to her make-up people. And is it just me, or does her face seem to be a tad bit chubbier in this video? Looks like Skye has taken the 30 bucks the CD made and gone straight for the candy store!  |

Yea she looks so hot with that black hair. I feel weird saying that given her age, and also when I saw her last year I thought she wasn't attractive AT ALL.
But Im embarassed to say I actually like this song. I hear it on z103 quite a bit and it's grown on me. It's a fun little pop song with no meaning.
Tangled Up In Me wasn't bad either. I can't say which one I like more, I dont really know, but I enjoy both.
