Ugh, I don't know how much higher this is going to go. I truly don't understand why she isn't exploding. She is so radio-friendly. I guess she should try "Psycho B***h" once this peaks, but after that I can't see anything happening this era.

Her voice is flat-out unappealing. It's far too polarizing.

i watched some live clips of her singing this on youtube and she couldnt hit the high notes in the chorus. that's only acceptable for teen boys like hanson and the jonas brothers who's voices are changing!

I guess she should try "Psycho B***h" once this peaks, but after that I can't see anything happening this era. As long as it's still gaining there's hope. I notice my station is bumping it up a bit in rotation. Could just be a slow mover. Or maybe it won't get much further, but I still think there's hope for her in this era. I agree--Psycho B***h would be a good 3rd single. To respond to others, I don't think it's her vocals that are the problem--there have been rough-vocal females that do perfectly fine on CHR. I think she's just getting lost amongst the more established or more "it-girl" females who are dominating--Katy, Pink, Leona, Beyonce, Britney. Right now is the era of the female artist, but you have to have a big personality, big image or a big voice to do much. If you're laid back and eclectic then radio may not notice, which is sad. |

Anybody know if she's gotten a single released in Australia? I feel like they would appreciate her down under.

She's touring with David Archuleta in February and March according to her myspace and rumors that have been swirling for a little while. So far only for part of his tour.

I have a feeling Z100 will jump on this soon in the coming weeks. They're testing it on their RTM survey, so they obviously already have their eye on it. I think this and 'AOTM' will be the next two breakthrough hits.

^This song has been getting good play on XM 20, which is my main station. It's really grown on me, so I hope it catches on with more stations.
And the matchup with Archie is a really good one, imo. hopefully they'll do more together.

The album is FANTASTIC! I wasn't expecting it to be so good.
My favorite is 'Misfit', Evan Taubenfeld co-wrote it. :)
I agree that 'Psycho Bitch' should be the 3rd single. That will definately garner some attention for her.

If Psycho B***h takes off she's going to have to do two rereleases for IGIG and Unbeautiful. I wonder if that's ever been done before? Lol.
