So this goes for adds tomorrow. I haven't heard it yet, and i cannot find an AllAccess link or AllAboutCountry link. Does anyone know where to listen to it?
Well anyways, I wonder if this is the same song that Sarah Buxton recorded and put on her Myspace page a while back. It was never released or anything so it could possibly be the same song.

Chely Wright also recorded a song called "Everything" and released it as a single in late 2004. I'm not sure if that's the same song as Sarah Buxton's, but I was wondering if this was the same song as that. I remember liking it a lot.

Not sure about the Chely Wright song, but it's NOT the same Sarah Buxton song.

It's not the same song as either of those. This one was penned by her boyfriend, Marcel.

ok thanks. i just figured since Jessica was on this Disney branch off label (like Lyric Street) that maybe they recycled the Sarah Buxton song and gave it to her

Wow, that is the very definition of overproduced. I can hardly hear her on parts of the verses, and she really has to belt out the chorus to be heard over top of the production. From what I could make out of the lyrics, it wasn't bad in that department, although I don't like the Everything part of the chorus. I'll have to hear this on the radio to make a true judgment on it, but on first listen I'd have to give it a thumbs down because of the production.

The chorus reminds me of "More Than A Memory".

Out of ALL the songs in the universe for a comeback . . . this one was picked?
And wow . . . her voice has gotten raspy. I just don't think Jay DeMarcus should've had anything to do with this. To me, he just seems like he thinks Rascal Flatts is a success because of him alone. He just seems big-headed everytime I see him on TV.

I've always thought that Jessica has one of the best voices in Nashville. I've seen her in many small venues and songwriter rounds, and the girl can SING! I don't think any of her prior albums ever captured her range and depth accurately, but I think this song has. I don't think it was a great choice for a comeback single though. Like someone said, it's very overproduced and not exactly radio friendly. She is the debut artist for Carolwood Records, which means that the label will probably invest a lot of money in this song's success. At least she has that going for her.
I just hope we get an album out of Jessica. I'm hoping this song does better than I expect it to.

Unfortunate for this song that Bob That Head was released this year or it could have had the honorable distinction of being my least favorite song of the year.

Doesn't country radio eat up overproduced songs? How is the overproduction in this song going to hurt it at all?

I LOVE this. I'm hopeful her long absence and being the first airtst on a "new" label may be enough to generate a little buzz and get this into the Top 25(ish).
The verses are better than the chorus, but I still love it. Glad she is back!

I just heard this for the first time and I really like it. I agree though her voice sounds very raspy and I don't really care for that. Not sure if it's just on this song or her voice has changed over the years. I would love to have a new CD from her. I have all her old ones and really enjoyed them.

I LOVE a raspy voice so that's one of the reasons I really enjoy the song.

I read all the reviews here before listening to the song. I pretty much agree with all of you about the over production.
I don't think it's a bad song but not what I would have expected for a come back. I'm sure it will grow on me more. I've always liked her.

While it's nothing too exciting, the song is already Top 50 and looks like it will hang around to benefit after the Christmas songs fall off. Hopefully it can gain enough momentum to get into the Top 20.

I LOVE a raspy voice so that's one of the reasons I really enjoy the song. So do I, but this is utter cliché. I mean, "I’m on my knees, I’m beggin’ please / Come back to me, you’re all I need/ You’re everything, everything, everything / I’m goin’ crazy!"? "I miss you so much I can barely breathe"?! That's not even trying. Some days I feel like strangling any songwriter who uses the line "can't breathe" in a song, so they can know what the inability to breathe is really like. (Yes, I've said that before, but eh.) |

Well I honestly think you are WAY too critical. Not sure when the last time was I really saw you write something positive about a song. You seem to always find something wrong with just about every song. Just relax and enjoy it.

You seem to always find something wrong with just about every song. Just relax and enjoy it. For the record, I have written plenty of positive things about songs (wasn't I almost the only person on this whole board who actually had something good to say about "Bob That Head"?). I've been a bit more snarky lately than I should've been, and I apologize for it. As for this song, I've heard it several times now and I really, really can't find anything nice to say about it except that I'm amazed at how much stronger her voice has become. The lyrics, production, and even the melody all come off to me as almost cringingly rote to me. |

Don't apologize -- some songs really are that bad that there just isn't anything good to say about it. We all have our own opinions and can be as pessimistic or optimistic as we want!

And yes, while there are plenty of songs I don't care for as well, I don't go in to those threads and bash on them. If there's a thread of an artist or song I don't care for, I just don't read the thread. |

I don't see how I'm "bashing" in any way. We're all entitled to our opinions, and all I'm doing is stating my opinion. |

I don't see how you could do anything BUT bash this song. Lol, I feel the same way. Horribly cliche lyrics, terribly overdone production, and an over-the-top vocal performance make for a real winner in my book.  I did like Who I Am though. I found the melody catchy and her vocal performance endearing. If she could get back to songs that don't bury her in production she might be able to have a successful comeback. |

This isn't one of them though. I love "Unbreakable Heart" and that one from The Prince of Egypt soundtrack even though it was a bit cheesy too. haha |
