Im watching Access Granted...Raven's leading man looks cross-eyed
The beat of this song reminds me of DMX & Sisqo's "What These Bytches Want"! Hot jam from the summer of 2000!
the part where she's saying like "Wrong! Wrong!" keeps making me thinking of Kimberley Locke's "Wrong"...she hosted Good Day Live today and they showed some of the video for Wrong, which is why it's in my mind
The "Backflip" video is corny...it reminds me of an American Idol alumni's video, lol! She's like a mini Kim Locke, the video is even reminding me of 8th World Wonder and Miss Independent molded together.

Yeah, I just saw it. I really love the song like I mentioned before.
But the video is okay, nothing really special. I will not blame Sanaa Hamri, because I liked videos she has done before. They didn't seem to showcase Raven so nicely. The camera was all up in Raven's face. They should have zoomed out a little and showed more background around her while she sung the song. I love Raven's style however, she is very pretty and classy young lady.
Also the story line seemed to have more than one event going on at the same time. It was a little too distracting to me to fully understand. She has a handsome love interest in her video so I'm sure teenage girls will be envious of Raven. LOL. I still hope the song does decently. I think it is pretty catchy enough to at least make the 20s at pop radio.

it reminded me of "miss independant" too. Its one of the worst videos ever lol. Raven looked cute but this was the one video she needed to really be dancing on. She needed to have some hot choreography.

A Disney princess who can actually sing? Stop the presses! :o
This song definitely reminds me of the late 90s/early 00s R&B/Pop that I really enjoy. If Mis-Teeq could have a top 10, I can definitely see Raven doing that with the name recognition she has.

They havnt even sent out a promo, given it an add date, but she has an album coming out in 20 days. They never did Hillary this way.

I'm black, but I don't think Disney isn't promoting Raven because of her race Her video wasn't that cheap, it looks like most R&B videos on BET. Hilary's first videos weren't that much either, her singing on top of roof buildings with her band isn't that expensive!!
Disney knows that Raven doesn't really need that much promotion. She has the #1 show on Disney with new episodes premiering this fall and will last well into 2006! I remember when THATS SO RAVEN soundtrack came out, Disney put Raven on a little promotional tour AFTER the album was released.
I think (hope) the song will go for adds in late September/early October, with Raven appearing on many talk shows in October promoting Season 3 of THATS SO RAVEN and her new album.

maybe u are right. but i knew alot more about Hillarys album when it became time for release then i knew about this. I dont think they are promoting them the same at all. has Raven even been on MTV? The audience that actually supports this type of music.

Why wasn't Myra, the FIRST artist signed to Disney Records, given the same push that Hilary was given? Once Hilary was signed, Myra was old news for Disney. They let her 2-year contract end without pressuring her to renew. Racist! Just 'cuz she's Mexican, huh?

Was Myra involved in any Disney television show? I'm sure that would have helped her gain the push that she needed. My little sister loved Myra and wanted her to hit big as well. It crushed her when she didn't.

My little sister loved Myra and wanted her to hit big as well. It crushed her when she didn't. Good on your little sister! Myra's English CD is pop perfection. But yeah, Myra had a small role in Max Keeble's Big Move, but that was it. I guess she was too non-white to star in a show of her own. Shame on Disney and their hella racist practices! I'm shocked by Raven's lack of promotion. I thought after Disney gave her her own TV show, they'd actually look beyond her race when promoting her CD. That calls for ANOTHER "Shame on Disney"! >:(

There is no need to push back the album. THAT'S SO RAVEN soundtrack sold 50k its first week (I think!), so her album will do at least that. Plus, with holiday sales approaching, Season 3 of her show coming, and MOST IMPORTANTLY: an ADD DATE, her album will do VERY good this quarter. If they do decide to push the album back, I hope they change the cover, I hate it. Raven is a fine young woman, but her album cover is hideous:

She looks gorgeous on her album cover.
and if they want to establish her as a real force in music they need to do it right. Not just try and get 50k 1st week. thats nothing compared to what Hillary did her frist week because they actually promoted Hilary the right way. They did wait and hope the album sold better over time they had her album sellin well from week 1 and they need to do Raven the same way.

I would love Raven to be a music superstar like Britney, Beyonce, Christina A., etc. However, I just checked CDNOW.com and they still had the album set to release Sep 21st (in 4 days!) Plus, I think it looks better when an album debuts low and rises in sales the upcoming weeks, than debut high and drop like a rock.
The album hasn't leaked yet, so Disney could still push back the album if they wanted too. It's just that in November, TOO many CDs are being released. Everybody's mama and cousin is coming out with a CD then. Raven isn't exactly a superstar (yet!) so she needs as little as competition as possible. And who knows, the CD could do good its first week, I think we underestimate how many little kids watch THATS SO RAVEN! Millions!
