^Doesn't look good.
I think Lesley is a pretty fresh sound for the pop/rock genre. There is certainly a similarity to Kelly, but that doesn't mean she was influenced by her. But this still isn't one of my favorite songs of hers. I thought IG,IG was more of a surefire single. Shows what I know, lol.

If Kelly Clarkson or P!nk sang this it would go Top 10 in 5 weeks.

I just heard "I'm Gone I'm Going" I've heard it before just didn't know who it was. I'm impressed, not sure how it flopped! How is her album anyone buy it? I really hope this does well and then they re release "I'm Gone I'm Going" This whole Situation reminds of The Veronicas first album, Max Martin, underperforms. Hopefully Lesley will breakthrough with this though! :)

I swear, it's gotta be her voice. I think it just automatically turns off DJ's/audiences of your typical CHR station. Here's this girl singing these top notch pop rock songs, but she sounds more like she should be in a death metal band. Like I said, and others are saying, someone like Kelly would have made this or IG,IG an instant smash. I just really wish the CHR stations would be more open to her then what they are being. This is just far too good to not be a contender for the top of the charts.

I feel like IGIG might have broken through if she had held on longer. I mean, didn't it come out about the same time as Just Dance and Untouched?

Yes but those songs are extremely unique while "I'm Gone I'm Going" isn't. I really don't think it would have caught on. If I remember right "Untouched" was increasing most of the time just in very very small amounts.

I think both of her songs sound like Clarkson rejects. If Kelly had either IGIG or this on My December, the album wouldn't of flopped. The only reason IGIG flopped, and this is struggling is because Lesley has a very unusual voice that turns a lot of people off, and she's gotten very little exposure or promo. If any big name artist had released IGIG or this, they both would have rocketed up the charts. Kelly would be very lucky if she gets any song this radio friendly for her upcoming album. Pretty much agree with this. If Kelly did IGIG it would have been a huge hit. Lesley Roy's got an interesting voice (she reminds me of a less polished Amanda Marshall) and the smarts to work with Max Martin. She sings the heck out of some kickin' tracks. "Slow Goodbye" is the SECRET WEAPON on this album. It's a fabulous ballad.

Booo, I love this song. Ugh, I don't know if it is her voice (it doesn't turn me off) but there should be room for her on CHR. Her songs are perfect CHR songs.

OMG i just listened to this for the first time.... AHHHH HER VOICE, make the bleeding ears stop!!!
She sounds good in the chorus, but omg she needs to figure out how to sing the slow parts better... it's like listening to someone with end stage emphysema

This girl sounds like a more gravely version of Kelly Clarkson..sorry if that makes some of yall mad but its the truth..The first time i heard this song i almost started freakin out cuz i thought it was Kelly's new song..haha but then i heard the lower parts of the song and i waslike...wait a minute..haha but even after all that i still think this girl is awesome! I seriously think they should rerelease IG,IG b/c that song is killer ,just needs a little promotion..Im glad this song is doing good though..

I agree with the more gravely KC comment. Her voice isn't that odd, just kind of coarse. But that's cool. She's somewhere between KC and Janis Joplin. Not a bad place to be and certainly not disqualifying from pop music success. I just think this song is a bit draggy, which is why I liked IG,IG better. But I haven't listened to the rest of her album so I don't know what other potential singles are on there.

Now that I think about it, The problem i have with her voice is not necessarily the smoker-lung-sound. Plenty of the best female singers have raspy voices. Its that she she doesn't DO anything with... it's just amelodic and doesn't have any real soul behind. Listen to the way she sings the verses... she just lets the words flop

I hope this continues to climb--I want it to go top 30 at least; hoping for top 20 if it can get some traction.
