they shoulda done a club remix, with those kinds of vocals it woulda been sick
this remix is okay... but half the point of the song is the retro vibe, and people aren't feeling that--- WHICH IS THE ONLY REASON this wasn't a hit. okkkkkkkkkkkkkay?
bring on third single! it's a defn. hit.

I don't think the retro thing was a problem because everybody that liked it liked it for that reason.
She just waited until nobody cared about her project anymore to release it.

The problem is that it's not that kind of retro that most people get sentimental over.

SO...who thinks that Mesmerized is over...???...I hope capitol just moves on and starts the promotion again...maybe release the album...witht he new remixes and some new tracks...and push TRU LUV as the next single...but PROMOTION needs to start on the album again...also we at least know that there will be one more single..."Goin' Out" because the video was already made and that was supposed to be the next single...but I hope she gets 4 singles (+) and her album sales go back up...what are her album sales to date???...well anyway I am done with Mesmerized...unless 4 some reason she gets a 5th life that actually holds on and grows...maybe the remixes will do that...because radio and records have already changed the song to Faith Evans f/Snoop Dogg "Mesmerized"....

the video wasn't already made for "goin out"
i think "mesmerized" is probably over, people that heard it generally said "oh i like that" and then forgot about it.
the albums already gold so it doesn't REALLY matter what happens at this point, but, we all know there are at least 2 more singles on this album that are both 10x more radio-friendly than "Mesmerized" and even way more friendly than "Again", so I think as long as they are released, they will do well.
"Tru love" cries out to radio so much that Capitol doesn't even need to launch a big promotion campaign

There is another DJ Clue remix floating around in NY and it's better than the one with Snoop. I initially thought the other remix was the one being pushed but sadly I'm wrong. I'll have to get at Flex tonight and see what the deal is with the remix. In this remix she changed the verses and hook.

I love Faith and most of her music. But i just couldn't get into this one. Hopefully her 3rd single will do better

"Mesmerized" should have been the first single. "Again" only did as well as it did because of 1st single hype. This song didnt stand a chance at becoming a hit after a mediocure performance of a lead single and dissapointing album sales. PD's were not going to do much with this song under those circumstances. I seriously doubt if Capital will waste their time and release a 3rd single. I do not even think she is on the top 200 albums chart anymore.

Mesmerized seems to have several lives.. it picking up at Urban AC and Rythm, the audience share is not as large but more spins.... this is probably the last push before the third single is released.

this has recovered at UAC to the point of a new peak... don't know if it'll be long-lived or not, but it's still nice, helps push it toward the 100 million cumulative audience.

What exactly would 100 mill in cumulative audience mean when its still a flop?

the dance remixes of this song just flew up to #11 in their third week over at Billboard, on the Dance chart. Small but nice consolation if she gets top 10 there, and with a bullet that big up to #11 it looks certain, probly get up pretty high on that chart.

This song is lost into oblivion. The public was not ready for this. Even if it makes to number one on the Dance charts, that does not translate into record sales. It is time for Captiol to get up on another single ASAP b/c this one is dead.

yeah the song's over, they're already prepping the 3rd single, but any added success no matter how small will make it look a better in retrospect

The First Lady doesn't have very radio friendly songs, but i thought the album would do better than that I don't know if Tru Love could save the cd,there are so many good albums this year which flopped

Whoo chill, it's ideal to have 1 single/season, so "Tru Love" would be the fall single, and it's just now September 1. As for the remix, they're not doing anything with that---- but the Dance chart news is great!
