This is exactly like Beyonce's Work It Out for me. The song is even playing itself out like Beyonce's song did. As good but very underwhelming. The video even reminds me of Work It Out a bit. I am a tad disappointed in the video.

why hasn't this been sent to other formats...especially since mtv is in love with this song/video so much...it should be sent to chr/ rhytmic and maybe even pop...

think about it...if Faith is doing good on MTV which is usually songs from brittany and the black eyed peas who don't do well on urban and urban ac...why don't she try pop for a change...it might just work...i'm tellin' u...if she relased this at other formats this song could be huge...

Faith has never had a CHR/Pop hit ever. I highly doubt her first real urban flop is going to change that.

it's not been played on MTV, i don't know why he's saying that. BET isn't supporting it, either, which is surprising. but yeah like Josh said it's done way better than "Work It Out". I don't like that comparison at all because WIO was a cheesy track made for a retro comedy soundtrack, but "Mesmerized" is actually a throwback to Lynn Collins and James Brown.
I'm just ready to put this song in the past, even though it keeps struggling up at like +.500 million audience a week. There's no artist that hasn't had flops before, it just took Faith 11 singles before it happened.

Even to this day that song has only received 46 million total audience impressions, "Mesmerized" is at 52 and won't stop anywhere below 70 even if it nosedives tomorrow.

I'm laughing right now... the song has jumped up AGAIN, this time it's over 1000 spins and 8 million audience for the first time. BET also gave it a couple spins for the first time in a couple weeks. --- that actually finally puts it into top 20 at UAC (and again 5th greatest gainer) and just outside top 40 at Urban.

I hear WBLS (New York) has added the song to the playlist and it is getting some good reviews...big audience share for Faith..
Tom Joyner has also added this song to the TJMS. Looks like UAC is now embracing it.

over 8.5 Million audience and even better, 1150 spins... it's starting to look like it will go on to be quite a decent UAC hit, but it's still barely getting by at Urban and Rhythmic isn't feeling it. THe video's getting a bit more play, now, too. At least this definitely hasn't ended up a TOTAL failure... cough.

nearly 9 million audience share and UAC is really embracing it, the spins at UAC nearly matches Urban.... its not dead yet--Faith has a way of breathing life into songs when they are nearly dead..... keep it going Ms.Dunaway

yeah, it's #3 gainer at UAC right now, after going to almost zero three times in the past, lol... insane. Still slowly chugging away at Urban.
On the Overall (Urban + Urban AC) chart, it's entered the top 40. That chart is usually fairly close to the Billboard R&B chart, if you sort it by audience.

This song isn't radio friendly. This should have never been a single given the current radio environment. AT best it should have been a promo track. Not saying its not a great track by the way.

So I guess I was right. I knew it would flop. So what, we can look forward to "Tru Love" going to the top.
