I like the edit - it's still a nice guitar riff, and it gives the song a really cool, distinctive start.

That sounds great! I can't wait to hear it blasting out of my car speakers this summer.
I hope we hear that it's getting early spins.

This was added at WQEN in Birmingham this week - they already have TRT at #6 on their playlist :)
If only everyone else was as easy to convince as Bo's hometown station.

Let's hope it doesn't take 6 months before we hear it in all of the major markets. This song has real hit potential IMO.

I love this but it'll flop.. Bo is not in the public eye, like at all, and he was at least with the first single, plus this isn't as good, but i still do like this..

and you base that on what?... Bo has been on the road to sold out audiences, maybe you don't hear about him but that doesn't mean he's not doing something.

It's quite obvious by easy silences avator who they like. Bo has been working his ass off doing concerts almost every day. UMMB is a great song and to say its a flop before it hits radio stations IMO is wrong.

easy silence, I'm not sure what you mean by "public eye" or how you equate that to radio success. For the last 6 months, Bo has been working his ass off playing large and small gigs for every radio station under the sun, and charming PDs everywhere he goes. Here's the crowd that came to see him in Syracuse, NY last week. Quite a few public eyes there wouldn't you say? At every stop along the way he has drawn a good crowd, put on an amazing show, wowed the DJs, and charmed the PDs. (The DJs in Atlanta were still talking about his appearance with James Blunt and KT Tunstall 2 weeks after it happened). Provided RCA promotes this single, I don't see any reason to think it won't receive even more airplay than TRT because (a) it's a better song and (b) the radio stations are now more kindly disposed towards Bo. Aside for Bo fans -- apparently Bo told a fan at yesterday's concert that the UMMB video is in the works and will be done 'very soon.'

The success of the first single will make things easier for this one, and even though you don't think it's as good, I think most people think it's a much better song. At least I hope it doesn't flop! I actually think it has top 10 potential. fingers crossed!

Yeah.. he's on tour.. that doesn't mean too much.. he's sold out shows.. lots of people can do that.. I just don't know anyone who will even remember him now after Katherine and Taylor are out now.. besides the people who own the album/seeing him on his "tour"..plus we just don't hear of him that often. And don't say that I say this because I like Kelly/Carrie better.. I do like Bo somewhat, I have have the album.. btw how much has it sold?

I guess time will tell easy silence. The consensus of other posters seems to be that UMMB will be a hit, but you're entitled to your opinion. I'm saying Top 10.
I never hear of Carrie anymore because I hate country music and she's never played on Pop or Hot AC radio. Her videos are not on MTV or VH1 and I can't remember the last time I saw her face on my TV. That doesn't make me think she's a failure. It's just that I don't pay attention to the world she's moving in now.
Bo's competition isn't Taylor or Katherine, it's the other artists releasing pop singles along with his. I love debating and discussing Bo's career but not in the context of Idol. Bo's one of the few non-winners to make a go of his career. It seems a little mean-spirited to be still talking the way you are.
Especially as The Real Thing is about to go Top 10 on Hot AC and is also now doing well on Mainstream AC. Bo's reaching a whole new audience with that song, and now will have another pop hit.
I never understand why people can't just support their favorites, enjoy their successes and leave others to do the same, but whatever floats your boat I guess.

Don't be quick to label easy silence as Bo hater just because he likes Carrie. I love Bo, but I agree with easy silence. He does make a good point. This single might flop just because there is no buzz around Bo at all. Radio is not guarenteed to play a good song, take for example with Pink's 'Who Knew'. Would you think Xtina & Beyonce will blast into the Top 40 just on their first week of release without any buzz?

It definitely takes buzz plus great songs, buzz is unfortunately often a lot MORE important, but don't forget the promotional push RCA will probably make once the single is released. And Bo is generating a lot of buzz among radio stations across the country holding his own at concerts with Saving Jane, James Blunt, Ashley Parker Angel, etc. I think radio will pick up UMMB a lot quicker than they did TRT. I still think it has top 10 potential. But again, fingers crossed!

I don't think Bo is going to blast into the Top 40 week one - I just think the signs are that RCA will support this single, and I do believe Bo's hard work with radio will pay off. Most of the singles in the Top 40 are not there because they started out with huge media buzz - they're there because they built with audiences and/or were well promoted by the record label. RCA worked really hard to make TRT a hit - I don't believe they're going to waste that work by letting the better song go unsupported. But I guess we'll all see soon enough. TRT took six months to reach Top 20!

How refreshing it would be to be able to have an actual discussion about Bo's music without some carrie fan trying to rain on Bo's parade. Why can't they be happy with her success, and realize that Bo's success in no way takes away what she has done. I also found the comment that anyone can sell out shows very interesting. Tell that to all tthe other AI non winners out there, as well as any of the new artists struggling to get their music heard. For Bo to be selling out any shows is a testament to the strength of his fan base and their effort to spread the word about the phenomenon that is Bo Bice. One needs only to see him perform once to realize how gifted a performer he is.

"Some Carrie fan"
Hello that feud has been over, move past it just because they're a Carrie fan doesn't mean they hate Bo, I'm a huge Carrie fan but I still have Bo's CD and wish the best for him, I was planning on seeing him in concert but had to take a business trip so I'll have to wait until next time. I do kind of agree though, Bo isn't in the public eye that much at all that may have something to do with it, I think it can go at least Top 30 especially since there have been a ton of artists I've never heard of going 20-40 lately on pop and Bo already semi established himself there with TRT, and this song IMO is a lot better. Carrie and Bo are going down very different roads, but I really hope this song becomes a decent hit (would love for it to be huge but not sure if it'll happen) and hopefully firmly establish Bo at pop for future singles.

I like this and I wish it could be a hit but I just don't think it will, okay? If it would make you feel better go into a Carrie thread and say she'll flop, I mean she won't, but say whatever you want and you see me say nothing about it..
