Yeah, I can't picture any one of them singing a song like WA, or quite possibly any of the songs on Breakaway. They just don't have the emotional baggage that you can sense in their voices that Kelly does.

I actually can't picture Ashlee/Lindsay/Hilary singing WA. It has that attitude that I don't think they can pull. But maybe that's just me. No I agree. I could NOT imagine any of them singing WA... However, Gone sounds like something they could...along with Avril. Walk Away just seems so much more unique than Gone and what normal pop rock chicks sing. The only other pop rock chick who I can imagine singing Walk Away is Pink.

Agreed....however, even Pink doesn't possess the range to completely pull it off either!!

Pink's range is pretty impressive. You ever heard her live?

Nope....I've never had the pleasure of seeing her live, but I've seen enough of her live performances via the TV that I'd be willing to lay money on the fact that she can't come close to hitting a lot of Kelly's power notes!! Not to take anything away from her though, because she's got a great set of pipes.

After an initial listen, I'm not impressed with this song. But it was the same with BOY and now I think it's a great pop song.

Thats funny, Pink have also a song called Walk Away on her CD Try This.

This song really should be a smash, but is radio sick of Kelly for now? I think with the false starts of Addicted and Gone, some PDs will be frustrated enough to actually not play this. Top20 is a lock just because it's following yet another #1, but Top 10 may not happen here. Should be interesting to see what happens.
I'd like to see top5 for this at least.

I don't think there was any false start for "Addicted", that was just one or two stations playing it on their own. "Gone" however is on the label as well, they DID put it up on AllAccess. The main problem is that some major markets (like Atlanta) have already had this in heavy rotation for awhile, which could hurt its chart position because those markets might be burned out on the song and not play it as much anymore. Some songs have underperformed after being released long after some stations decided to play them on their own and then were sick of it by the time the actual single came out. I'm predicting lower half of the top 10. It's a fifth single for radio after all. Whether you consider that a flop or not is up to you. I don't, but some people might consider anything that doesn't go top 3 bad for her.

Initially I thought this was a bad choice, but now I think this song is a different than anything she's released. This one is both funky and in-your-face which is a combination we haven't seen from her yet.
I feel like this song needs a remix to make it less bubble gum poppy and more hip-hop.

There were a few small market stations that spinned it for months but Atlanta was the main market that was playing it for quite some time and currently only Nassau-Suffolk and SA have been spinning it more than they have (WWWQ, +10 from last week) this week, so it doesn't look like they're suffering from any burnout.
I think WA will do just fine for a 4th/5th single. I'm gonna predict a top 5 peak, with top 10 being a lock.

Coming off another number 1, this will at least be top 10...more than likely top 5...and possibly top 3. But not another number 1.

I can't wait for this song to impact. It's totally grown on me and I'm a huge Kelly fan and this was the one track I would skip over but I love it now. I could go with a little more of a rock feel to it though, it's a bit too over produced, but lovin' it.

I disagree. The first person I thought of when I heard the song was Pink. It sounds like it's straight from Missundazstood.

I disagree too. "Walk Away" doesn't really sound like anything off of Mizundaztood.

Both of them are popstars with good voices, that is what set them apart from all the other crappy so called young "artists" out there. Pink's voice is not perfect, Kelly's voice is not perfect. End of the story.
Back on topic.. I hope this song does well on the charts. It's one of my favorite track on "Breakaway".

if anyone is worried that the atlanta station, wwwq will hurt this song, dont worry about it. they put it in heavy rotation yes, but it wasnt played at the most vital times. plus they never talked about it by introducing it or wore it out. plus that station doesnt have many listeners since they had such a crappy reception. they have a better satalite now and made a big deal of it, but their AIs are still on the lower end compared to the other altanta station, wstr. wwwq will play this song A LOT more once it hits its add date. Dont sweat.
