This song is already in medium rotation at my station, mind you it's in Canada and we have to play a certain percentage of Canadian songs. Anyways I don't like it at all

I heard the end of it on Mix 99.9 here in Toronto yesterday...
I dont really remember anything about it, but it did have that 80's sort of pop beat

I like that cover/pic alot
She looks great, and she's even cooler for doing music that people wouldn't normally look at her and think she would do, ya know

Rachel Stevens' "Some Girls" also has a similar 80s vibe.

She might as well not even re-release this. The song has had a consistent bullet at around +150 but it's not really going anywhere. It might lose it's bullet before it hits the Top 50.

The song is great.
The video is even better.
Radio is just plain stupid.

Cute music video. I'm surprised they had enough faith to make another video for her.

Island Records appears to have put a lot of money into her, and yet she hasn't really broken out here yet. Is she big in Canada at least?

Island Records appears to have put a lot of money into her, and yet she hasn't really broken out here yet. Is she big in Canada at least? Yea, well I mean, Canada plays her because she's Canadian. Radio is obligated to play at least 30% Canadian artists/music on their playlist, by law/regulations. MuchMusic plays videos by Canadian artists as well, and it's probably the same reason. All of her videos have been big on MuchMusic, and I've already seen the new one like three times and it debuted on the countdown before I even knew she had a video for it. z103 here in Toronto is a Pop station and they played each of her singles quite a bit, including this one. She also gets play on Hot AC stations like Mix 99.9 and CHUM FM. but without the obligation to play Canadian artists, it's hard to tell whether or not Fefe would be "big" here if there was no such rule and nobody HAD to play her.

I can't get into Fefe. I gave her a try with her first song, but I'm not feeling her. I did think Everything should have done ALOT better on the pop charts. It started pretty good, but quickly cooled and was thrown out. I think Fefe needs to go back into the studio and record some new material. She if she has anything new she can present. If not, she'll probably be dropped from her record label.

The song is catchy... I didn't like "Take Me Away", but her recent singles have been rather likeable, I think.

Platinum here is 100,000 copies sold. Gold is 50,000 I believe. I'm not exactly sure on Fefe's sales here, but when her album came out in early December it was on sale for $7.99 at HMV. I agree though, I thought "Everything" would have been a hit on Pop radio in the U.S. Even "Take Me Away", which seemed to be getting alot of praise and hailed as the next big thing when it was being sent for adds. Where did TMA peak, in the 20's?

"Everything" was one of the best pop singles released in 2004. I loved it.

This is by far her worst single to date. It by no means warrants a re-release. I have no idea what her record label is thinking

I just heard this today. It's not an overly bad song, but it's also NOT the type of song that should be released following "Take Me Away" and "Everything". It sounds like it's right out of the 80s.
