It looked dead in the water a week ago at this time, but no longer!

This track is pretty good. I can tell Bo doesn't want to do this type of music though.

I really like the intro to this, not such a fan of the rest of the song.

I wasn't crazy about it at first, but it definitely grows on you. The intro is really good though.
I like "U Make me better" a lot.

The CD is wonderful. I do not skip through any of the songs. The Real Thing is one of those songs that gets in your head and replays over and over. Listen a few times and you'll wake up in the morning humming it to yourself.

I don't understand why this single isn't being picked up in the larger markets now. The bullet keeps growing. It's consistently in the high 50s on iTunes top downloads. The video's doing great on TRL. How much more does Bo have to do?

How much more does Bo have to do? Change his name to Kelly Clarkson.

Hey, it might work! There's nothing special about "Walk Away" but radio eats it up because there's no risk involved. If she released TRT, it would be a huge hit. But I prefer Bo as Bo, so no dice on the name change!

It's true though. Pop stations dont' want to play anyone else from American Idol except her. Smaller markets have given "The Real Thing" a chance and it's done well for them, but pleaces like Z100 and KIIS won't even give it a shot b/c they don't think it appeals to their elusive audience. they might say they think the song sucks, But if Kelly released "The Real Thing", it sounded exactly the same except it was her on it instead of him, they'd be all over it. as for TRL, over the past several years i've seen that it has virtually no bearing on radio success. tons of successful videos that retired flopped on the radio, and many major hits barely get on the countdown if they do at all. it's not the greatest song ever, but I like it, and I think the downloads helping it get on the Hot 100 this week (because of the AI appearance, even despite the performance it was probably the first time many viewers heard the song) because the people who did hear it, like it.

I really like The Real Thing. Bo sounds wonderful singing this song and it just kind of grows on you. I am thrilled that it is picking up steam and I hope it continues to climb the charts.

I think the promo was delayed by health issues for Bo.

I love the single, and I also love U Make Me Better and You're Everything, which seem like logical choices for the next singles. It's all good!

I agree... Kelly could release ANYTHING right now and it would go top 10... no matter how good or bad it is... she's that hot right now... not like Michael Jackson or Madonna were in the 80's and 90's, but it's approaching those levels...

TRT was losing spins and came thisclose to losing it's bullet 2 weeks ago... Never thought I'd be saying this, but this has a shot at going top 20 now... :)

If this goes Top 20 i'll kill myself. That seems a bit extreme. Now I'm torn. I want this song to go Top 20 but I don't want to be the cause of someone else's demise... hmmm.
