I didn't really like "Follow Through" that much.

I love I Don't Want To Be. Great song. Very catchy. :)
I heard Follow Through a while back...hated it. I tried to listen to it, to enjoy it, but I can't. Maybe that'll change? I don't know.
I wonder what the folks over at Gavin's label are doing. Will they re-release Follow Through? Or will they go for something else? My vote is for the latter. ;)

+948 at CHR/Pop.
I can't believe how well this song is doing, considering it's about eight months old. I'm glad that radio gave this one a second chance.

When I see how long it took this song to finally take off I am reminded of "Can't Fight the Moonlight" and "Breathless".

I ignored, this, I'm guilty of that, and I feel like crap for passing on this masterpiece. I just heard it for the very first time on KDWB this afternoon, and then I saw the video on Yahoo Launch. Guys and gals do not sleep on this, this is a smash hit!

This song needs to die now. I've been hearing it since Spring Break. It was a countdown contender/flava of the week on VH1's countdown in March, debuted in August(WTF?), lasted about 10 weeks....and has just re entered the countdown. It's already recurrent on Hot AC. EIther send the song to AC or Radio Disney or let it die.

This song has a long history. I didn't realize it's already been a hit at Hot AC almost four months ago. What took so long at Pop? This is still my favorite song at the moment, but it is starting to tire. Hopefully it'll make top 10, but I'm not sure if I could handle it for more than another month. This song could be around forever!!

It moves 24-16 on the Rick Dees Weekly Top 40. Biggest jumper of the week.

Is it just me or does anyone else think the opening riff sounds just like "Can't Stop" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers? No, I think "Can't Stop"'s riff was more complex than this one. Also, it kept building up to the song, instead of starting cold right into the song. Oh yeah, and it wasn't annoying. That would be an understatement for this song. I really hate it when this song gets in my head. It's probably my least favorite song of the year, and the fact that it's blowing up now everywhere I look will probably compound it many more times. First there's that opening riff. Everytime I hear it I want to put the emphasis on the other note and that sounds even more annoying. Like, instead of: duh-DUH-duh-DUH-duh-DUH-duh-DUH it would be DUH-duh-DUH-duh-DUH-duh-DUH-duh Then there's the lyrics. There's probably nothing wrong on the surface with the lyrics, but when I hear them I feel like he wanted to write a book or something but had to chop it down to four minutes. So I have to keep expounding on the lyrics turning them into lyrical commentary which probably make no sense. Like, 'I have been turned by demons into something I'm not which isn't very good; of course, granted you have to... blah blah blah.' And then that brings me to his voice. His voice really isn't anything to write home about, but man, it has got to be the most annoying thing about this song. I remember I didn't really care for "Follow Through" when I first heard, but it wasn't that bad. His voice didn't help that, but it didn't hurt it either. And now I'd give anything to have to listen to that instead of this thing. *breathes* Anyway, that's probably too much energy to be expended over a song I dislike, but I had to spill my guts there. The rant is over. Carry on with your praise. :)

I am waiting for the exact second it starts dropping so I can start celebrating. I am hoping its another Jason Mraz situation-first annoying single somehow becomes hit, everyone wildly praises him, cd doesnt sell THAT well, following singles flop and I never hear of him again except for those few months when the single was hot and everyone was proclaiming his brilliance (Not a huge fan of Mraz either, if you couldnt tell ;) )

Wow, I'm pretty tired of this song now. I hear it five to ten times a day. Enough is enough. It'll definitely make top 10, if not top 5. There's very little competition at the moment with Nelly losing his gigantic bullet. Unfortunately, this song will probably be around awhile. It's one of those songs that takes forever to get popular, blows up and then sits on the chart month after month.

This is why I hate radio. They play the same songs over and over.
I just bought his CD, and I really like it. I think this is a great song. I just became familiar with "I don't want to be" when I saw the video on VH1 about a month ago.
