She really should go slower with her singles, in my opinion. How many is this already, 4? 5?

All I can say is, HELL NOOOOO! She will kill this era if she releases this non-sense to pop radio. 3 ballads in a row? PD's won't have any interest in spinning this song even if it is by Beyonce.
Only option: Sweet Dreams OR Radio to ALL formats, seriously.

Yep. That's what Leona Lewis' people ended up foolishly doing with releasing three ballads in a row and the outcome wasn't pretty with the third and final one. |

This is going to flop. Pop radio certainly hasn't rolled over for "Halo" and I think the message was clear when "SL" outperformed "IIWAB." They are not going to take another ballad from her.
She and her record label need to stop the f**king nonsense and release "Radio" and "Sweet Dreams." "Ego" can also go to Urban at some point. Those are the only singles left.

They better push this to July because Halo is still blowing up and has just entered the top 10 on iTunes and gonna be top 10 on radio very soon.

Ummmm this BETTER be pushed back. Halo is not even close to peaking yet and is about to go top 10.
It's going to flop anyway lol...3 ballads in a row is a huge mistake.

If Leona, a BALLAD artist can not pull off 3 ballads at pop radio in a row, then Beyonce, an UPTEMPO artist sure as hell can't either. |

That's why I'm just anticipating the tour.
The singles were screwed up when "Halo" and "Diva" came out.
The only option is uptempo at this point. These uptempo pop songs ("Right Round", "Boom Boom Pow", "Poker Face", "Sugar", etc.) are what's hot right now. "Sweet Dreams" and "Radio" would smash.
Her loss.

Her loss. I agree. Am I the only one that hates the 2-single a time thing?  I think it was cool for SL and IIWAB but doing that for every single release is annoying. I get the feeling her team don't fully know what they're doing. Her last era was crazy with the singles all over the place as well. |

Why dont we take a few deep breaths? lol
I would say the label's plans has worked out well thus far. I mean all of the releases have been fairly successful.
I think the only people disappointed about the climb of Halo is the Pulse chart watchers. The song is doing what singles are supposed to do and thats to drive album sales.
Broken Hearted Girl will be no different.

Without a drastic change of sound or genre, that's just too much of her music on the radio. Especially to do 3 ballads in a row and settle for modest CHR peaks in the top 10 when she is the type of artist that could smash across the board.
Let's not forget which single was the biggest on her album, what side of the album it's on, and what it sounds like.
I'm just saying, though. |

Oh god, this is gonna be "Halo" take off but even worse I think. And then it's THIS MONTH?... At least I can be a little hyped for the new Sasha single, this double single stuff should have never passed the lead singles.

I think this is one of the worst ballads on the album.
I love Disappear, but that one would probably flop too.

If IIWAB and Halo which are far superior and radio-friendly songs, barely made the top 10 and is still struggling to get to the top 10 respectively, I don't know what this boring and cheesy ballad will do, especially during the summer. I wish this flops harder than a PCD ft. Nicole Scherzinger single so as her label releases an actual single-worthy song like Sweet Dreams, which is the only song left that could be a hit.

It has nothing to do with the actually quality of the song at this point. More about the tempo. She could release "Smash Into You" which is more hit-worthy than any "I Am..." single and get flack. |

I don't think her lebal or Daddy Knowles cares about her singles doing not that good on pop radios. What they care about is album sales and so far, releasing 34 singles (I found it funny too lool) paid off. So they'll keep on releasing 2 singles at the time as long as the album is selling well.

And if she insists on continuing the double single, release "Video Phone" to Urban for the summer. That's the only real smash left on the Sasha side for that format. "Ego" would've done better before the other 500 songs were released and without that 6 minute Kanye verse. |
