It's good to see all kind of opinions.
Many people said that TRT wouldn't even hit top 40, even people in this boards threaten to kill themselves if it hit top 20 (LOL)still it went top 20 and was gold in downloads, a moderate hit.
So I prefer to see what happends.

too bad I am a Bo fan and I said what I think is going to happen and I'm pretty sure it will. 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.. lol, is it safe here yet? I don't think there's anything wrong with what you said originally, except i really don't think that'll be the case. i'm not saying it's gonna go #1, but i definitely don't think it will flop. we'll see!

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? Taylor and especially Katharine being "out now" are not going to make me forget about Bo and his music. Do you think the majority of Bo fans are just going to drop him?

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? 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! I never said Bo is going to blast into the Top 40 in the first week, that is impossible right now. Let's hope RCA gives him the right attention and he'll score another Top 20 with this one. :) By the way, the 'every Carrie fan hates Bo' is ridiculous. So is it a stereotype now? I like Carrie so I have to hate Bo?

I do get tired of the endless rivalry that Idol promotes but I guess that's just the nature of the show. I am not a Carrie fan but I do love tons of other bands and artists - liking Bo or any other singer definitely doesn't have to an an exclusive thing. We're not married (unfortunately.) I think most of us posting in this thread hope Bo does well with UMMB - I know I have my fingers crossed. He played to another 5,000 people last night in Iowa, so he's certainly working as hard as he can at this.

Well I think the challenge for Bo and for all the Idols is to establish fans outside of AI. I think some of the fans from the show definitely lose interest in their favorites by the time the next year comes around. But tv viewers aren't really the target audience for recording artists. Kelly certainly has established a huge fanbase outside of AI, since she's known and loved worldwide, even in countries that have never seen AI. (I love Kelly, but I never even heard of the show when she was on it, so I'm a case in point.) Carrie's already been successful gaining new fans who didn't know her from Idol. I think Bo is gaining new fans since the show, but at kind of a slow pace. I'm pretty damn sure that Bo is doing MUCH better than before the show when he was a guitar store manager or something and did mainly acoustic gigs. lol But I have a better idea than discussing this - let's all request UMMB at our local radio stations to make sure my prediction and not easy silence's comes true!

A poster on previous page said something similar. 177 BO BICE U Make Me Better 23 0 23 0.060 Hopefully he can get more than 20 adds on tuesday.

Having followed TRT since December, I'm not hoping for anything like 20 adds next week, although I would LOVE it if it happened. If this one is going to be a hit. I think it will be because RCA works it hard - all the signs are that they intend to do that, but we'll see. emily4, I'm with you! I'm already requesting to the radio stations that played TRT a lot.

You just have nothing but negative things to say about Bo. Let's see TRT hit top 20 on the Pop charts and he is now #17 on mainsteam AC and #11 on Hot AC. Not as popular to what are you referring that too? The radio stations are still playing TRT after 6 months after his debut. I know Carrie is doing quite well on the country charts but to say he's not popular is false IMO...................................

I don't have to agree with you all. He just isn't as popular as other "pop" artists..

I agree with easy silence that Bo will definitely never be as popular pop radio listeners as some of the people around him on the pop charts and that's OK. Most of them will be gone a few years from now anyway and I'm hoping for a long steady career for Bo. I'm pretty sure he's not looking to be another Nick Lachey, although there's nothing wrong with that if it's your thing.
Meantime, I do think radio success is important for Bo in the short-term so I've been requesting UMMB on the stations that have already given it a few spins. That's all we can do.

To easy silence
I apologize for my post questioning your remarks. But please understand I am a Bo fan and have my claws out on any neg things said about him. You could be right on saying what you said but I stand behind Bo 100 percent and hope nothing but the best for him.

I like this song - so sue me. I think it's very radio friendly and if given the chance it should do fairly well (maybe even top 10 although top 15 is probably more realistic).
I've got my fingers crossed for him.

That's pretty good considering the competition this week (Janet, Gnarls, Christina etc.)
Some of the Bo fans who've been requesting this have been hearing positive things back from PDs. One says he'll be adding it in the nest week or two because he "REALLY digs it" but there's just no room this week. Others were also positive about the song. Fingers crossed.

Okay, I liked Bo on the show. I got annoyed by some of his fans after he lost. I hated The Real Thing but it grew on me and I actually ended up liking it. I like UMMB from the start. It is lyrically and musically superior to The Real Thing. I just wish they'd replace the "U" with "You".
