Isn't it good that not all rap lyrical content is the same. Aren't you tired of hearing about how much money they have, their cars, ice, chains, bit*hs, etc?
I think it's about time....

'IDOL' THREAT
By DAN AQUILANTE
May 28, 2006 -- Now that millions of "American Idol" worshippers have anointed Taylor Hicks as the show's big winner, we can finally tell you who the real loser is.
Us.
We're the ones who'll have to listen to Taylor Hicks crooning "Do I Make You Proud?" and Katharine McPhee warbling "My Destiny," the terrible pre-fab pop ballads concocted as their debut radio singles.
These singers, who each had sterling moments in the spotlight covering some of the best pop tunes ever written, make their professional debuts with a pair of sluggish snoozers forced upon them as their final and arguably most important number of the competition.
They clawed their way out of the pack and suffered the indignity of being Simonized weekly to be rewarded with having to hitch their reputations to some of the worst milquetoast pap ever penned.
Since Season 5 bowed back in January, the executives at 19 Management have been searching for these final original songs. According to reports, there were more then 200 tunes in contention and a 19 executive named Iain Pirie picked those two duds.
America shouldn't have voted Chris or Elliot off the show, they should have been allowed the opportunity to have axed tin-eared Pirie.
During a recent online interview, Pirie ex-plained the final song selection process:
"It's got to be a new composition - a song that suits the moment. It has to reflect the emotional journey that the viewers and the contestants have gone through. As a TV moment, it has to feel like an emotional conclusion. It has to be something that we hope is going to work at radio when the show is over. And equally, it has to be a song that fits the contestant."
That didn't happen.
McPhee's "My Destiny" is out of her range vocally, out of her reach emotionally and fits the curvy 21-year-old California girl like a burka. Her singing inadequacies will get straightened out electronically in the studio, but there's no helping that song.
As for Hicks, the man whose inner Joe Cocker helped him win the competition, his "Do I Make You Proud?" is a ball and chain that drags itself into death throes as his gritty tenor attempts to overcome the mush.
All three of the talent contest judges agreed that the singers were more accomplished than the songs. What does that say when you consider both Hicks and McPhee are amateurs in the business?
Other debut "Idol" singles have fared better. "A Moment Like This" by Kelly Clarkson went on to peak at No. 8 on Billboard's singles chart, and "Flying Without Wings" by Ruben "Where Are You Now" Studdard sold a respectable 736,000 copies.
Blame Pirie for the selection and hunt down songwriters Harry Sommerdahl, Hanne Sorvag and Tim Baxter for "My Destiny" and Tracy Ackerman and a guy who goes by Absolute for "Do I Make You Proud?" Then take away their keyboards, laptops, pens and any other equipment that might help them compose.
What's most disturbing about this year's final two songs is that they turned out to be instrumental in determining who won. And they were assigned by an executive in the 19 Management production offices.
The voting process of "American Idol" has always been suspect. Now the "Idol" selection is further tainted by virtue of bad material that's been dispensed by a suit, rather than chosen by the artist.

Does anybody think this song would benefit from a new mix? That way US radio would have something new without changing the song. The only reason not to would be because it has done so well everywhere else but US. So why fix it if it ain't broken... Any thoughts would be appreciated?

This song has had unbelievable success in ROW.... if that is any indicator it should do well in the USA too now that she has her momentum back.

"This song must be getting some pretty awful call-outs or fans are not requesting this song"
^^^^This is wrong! The song isn't even getting played enough to get call-outs or request, and when it is, it's overnights (when nobody is listening) anyway. US Radio is saying "NO" to this song or more likely to Pink.
IMO, SG was Pink's 3rd and final strike for US Radio. I always knew this and told Jive but they didn't listen. Jive bent to pressure from Pink and her management neither of whom I think know anything about TODAYS market in the USA. The other artist her "genius" manager work with are Sade so basically they are completely out of touch.
I'm sad about this but ultimately THEY dug their own grave. I have personally seen mistake after mistake being made.
If Pink cares about the US, why hasn't she done a Radio Promo tour for "Who Knew"??? I actually am starting to think they don't really care and are content with just the ROW. It sucks cuz she is a great artist.
:(

They are taking it slow and deliberately building the song (this is what they say).... what they don't want is to throw it at all radio stations at once and get overnight spins and then bad research so they are targeting specific stations and building this song in a real way. That is what I've been told. They could have got more "adds" but in the end that doesn't mean anything and 90% or more of most added songs don't break the top 30. SG got a lot of adds and in the end it was a flop. Research came back and it was all hype around a video but there was no real song. So they are trying the opposite approach with "Who Knew" I don't choose the singles but I wish I did.
