Second single. I think this will be bigger than "It's Not Over." No, it wont be. You realize how many idols have a home song? Excluding the non-idols Micheal and Sheryl; Kelly and just about every big favorite from season 5, this song is old already to some masses from the #1 rated T.V. show so they would need to promote the snot out of it for it to even be top 40. I'd be shocked if this would even go top 20.

Yeah, this is going to be a hit. Off the heals of a hit like INO and with this being played on AI every week, how is it going to flop? At the least, the downloads will be really good

Nope, I don't think hearing the HQ will change my prediction but it might be biased since I haven't. I've made alot of predictions without actually hearing a song that have been near dead on. A success of a songs run depends alot on the artist and the situation of the song/label/artist. Hmm I think I just flopped an iMax phrase but oh well

Thanks, ok see that did change things a tad. I think this will hit the top 20 now, still definately not the top 10. Again alot of artists, especially AI have covered a song like this. Its about as redudant as "over it's" at this point. His voice isn't superb in acoustic though, much prefer it with rocked out guitars. Yeah, this is going to be a hit. Off the heals of a hit like INO and with this being played on AI every week, how is it going to flop? At the least, the downloads will be really good I never said flop, I said no top 20. I changed it a tad, I still say no top 10. Take it over leave it ;) Not everyone is gonna agree with the masses, alot here are definately overrating this. They musta not heard the many other covers of this song in season 5 and before.. I'll say of that its one of the best though. And you of all people should know Idol doesn't = instant radio smash hit. Aside from Kelly and now Daughtry's song this has been further from the truth.

^ No prob. LOL, I actually think his voice is better when it's just acoustics. Covers? This is an original song. True there are many other "Home" songs but for S5, I think it's just him and Kat and they are nowhere the same in tune (though both are ballads). :)

I am so confused Firstly, this is original right, so why are people talking like "so many people have done this song"? And its the Idol home song right? That spells at least a download SMASH, and Daniel, a no name, took it even further last year.

www.variety.com/article/VR1117960029.html?categoryid=14&cs=1Inside Move: 'Idol' stays close to 'Home'Daughtry song replaces Powter's 'Bad Day'If history is any guide, millions of Americans will soon know the words to a song called "Home" by heart. The producers of "American Idol" have chosen the Chris Daughtry- sung ballad to serve as the background music for this year's contestant eliminations. Last year, bestowing a similar honor on Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" turned that song into a monster hit. Unfortunately for the "Idol" producers, Powter was signed to Warner Bros. As a result, his record label reaped big coin, while the "Idol" camp got bubkas. It's no surprise, then, that this year's exit song comes from Daughtry, a band fronted by 2006 "American Idol" contender Chris Daughtry -- and signed to RCA/19, the official "Idol" record label. But Iain Pirie, head of 19 Entertainment U.S., said the song's selection wasn't a matter of keeping things all in the family. Back in October, Pirie had a meeting with "Idol" exec producer and 19 exec Nigel Lythgoe. Given Lythgoe's role in helping launch Daughtry, Pirie figured he'd want to hear some tracks from the group's upcoming album. "I brought a rough version of 'Home' and played it for Nigel. He called up Simon Fuller right away, and they both agreed right away that the song had the sentiment to be the perfect 'Idol' exit song," Pirie told Daily Variety. "It seemed to fit perfectly." Pirie said Daughtry penned the lyrics to "Home" before he was an "Idol" contestant, with no clue that it might ever end up as a weekly fixture of the show. It's unclear if or when "Home" will be released as a single. First track off the disc, "It's Not Over," is still climbing the charts, and there's been talk that the song "Over You" will be the next single. Of course, in the digital era, consumers may simply decide to make "Home" the de facto next single by simply downloading it from iTunes and other music services. Whatever the song's fate, Daughtry's debut disc just went double platinum, with 2 million units sold.

^ I have no idea, LOL. ??? I don't think so though. It's stupid to use "Home" as the elimination song and not release it as a single. Over You can wait (I want Crashed first! )...

Well I think the singles should go Home, Over You, All These Lives, and crashed if there's a fifth single

This is an original song. It's not a cover. I don't understand what the person above is trying to say. And if it has to do with the song title, that's a really bad reason. Kelly had Walk Away, and now Paula Deanda does, and it's huge on the radio now! That is not a reason for it to 'flop'.
But anyway, I would rather have "Over You" as a single, but this is OK for now.

Yeah I think that doesn't matter. the only thing is that nobody should call their song "We Ride" b/c it seems like that title is cursed to flop (Rihanna, Mary J. Blige). Although the fact that four different acts have a song out right now called "Over It" is pretty hilarious. This will be huge. I think it's dull (more so than the first single) and not as good as "Bad Day", but it'll be a #1 hit due to downloads and a radio hit due to payola.

We Ride by Rihanna was a bad song, period.

Yeah but you'd think any single released after 2 smashes would at least do ok. LOL well at least it went to #1 on the club play charts ;)
