I think this could be, and should be, a smash of epic proportions. It is tied with BTHE and Addicted as my favorite Kelly song ever. I really hope this becomes HUGE.

I LOVE THIS SONG! But... terrible choice TOO similar to "Halo." If they held this off until fourth or fifth single, then it might do better, but I don't have high hopes for this since it's being released almost as soon as "Halo" goes recurrent. It worked for "Just Dance" and "Poker Face," but they were the same artist, this time it's two different artists. "Don't Let Me Stop You," "If I Can't Have You," "Long Shot," and "All I Ever Wanted" would've done WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better. I agree with maybe DLMSY and LS and I think one of those should be reserved for the 4th single, but AIEW and IICHY are definitely not catchy enough and are kind of too in your face to make an impact on pop radio.

I don't know if the mood in the country right now is in sync with this becoming that big a hit- we'll see.

i predict a multi-format smash (AC, hot AC, pop, maybe some rhythmic spins? although, i really don't know if three, maybe four formats would be called a "multi-format smash. ), and multiple weeks at #1 on pop and AC. oh, and #1 on the hot 100. ;) Honey, I'm sorry, but you're being slightly delusional. Especially considering that they're waiting 6 more weeks for even the adds date. umm, did you fail to see the " ;) " at the end of the post?

DLMSTY, IICHY, LS, and AIEW would've done way better? You're speaking as if AG has been out for months and hasn't caught on. There's no way anyone can determine whether a song will be a hit or not. Personally, I think AG is far superior to Halo in terms of vocals and emotion. Halo is better in production. But both songs are soo different. AG is sad, heart wrenching, and if accompanied by an excellent video, it should be fine (just how fine, we'll have to wait and see). I personally have a small dislike for all songs you mentioned (including AG) because they all sound like re-hashed production (minus AIEW)

I wonder how this will sound on radio, can't wait to hear it! 'IDNHU' was actually bland and monotonous on air.

Her vocals are sooooo good on this song. I hope radio catches onto that.

I don't think any adds date has been official announced. All we know is it's sometime in August.

OMG they made a SMART decision! I am soooo happy. Maybe this all will work out afterall. Remember, we have no confirmation on an adds date. I hope this performance will boost the single sales and will prompt them to make sure the adds date is soon. Even the first week of August is OK with me since she has The View and GMA the week before.

I'm glad they're not any more time promoting "Hook Up." Also, I hope this performance is semi-stripped down like the version she did at that radio station.

I don't know if the mood in the country right now is in sync with this becoming that big a hit- we'll see. I think people are ready for a ballad (is it a ballad or just slow-tempo?) from a female that can actually sing. Haven't had any of those yet this year, of this quality, IMO. Hope it's HUGE.

im still not a huge fan of this song - yet - but she NEEDED to release a ballad and more people than not seem to be feeling this song - perfect radio and potentially sales smash waiting to happen - very safe and im serrriously hoping this renews interest in a great album that should be doing way better than it is. If this succeeds and the album gets seriously revived, she must promptly release DLMSY (PERFECT follow up to AG)!. That song imo shoulda been single #2 - its just way better than IDNHU in every way. As for AIEW and IICHY - again great songs but just think they may not click on radio.

I'm not much for predictions. This song definitely has smash-hit potential, but many possible hits are made and few are chosen. It's a bit of a Catch-22: people say this will flop because it sounds too much like Halo, then they say the other songs on the album would flop because they don't sound like other radio hits. You never can tell. All I know is, the song has strong & direct lyrics and gorgeous vocals, and Kelly does it amazingly live. I don't love ballads, I listen to the other ballads on this album only when I run the whole album (except If No One Will Listen, which I never listen to), but I love this song.
Maybe this means something and maybe it doesn't, but it seems like the versions of AG on YouTube get an awful lot more hits than the other songs on this album. Look at the concert videos - for most of her shows this year that people have loaded to YouTube, the AG video gets the most hits.
I said my bit on the album thread about IICY, AEIW & DLMSY.

Apparently Kelly is going to be on VH1's Top 20 countdown on the 18th. Maybe a video premier? I hope! Can't wait for tonight. I hope her voice was in good form, the only time she hasn't sounded good on this song was the first Cali concert and it was quite rough. This song requires her voice to be in at least good condition. She can't hit some of those subtle notes with a troubled voice.

the fact that this song sounds very similar to halo will hinder its performance.

how? they don't even sound that much alike. and, even if they did, halo was a hit, so obviously people are liking that sound right now. this is also 100x better than halo, as well...

I loved Halo and agree that this is 100X better. The comparisons really start and end with the first 20 seconds of the song.
