    There may be other songs on the album she likes even better!! (To put a positive spin on it.)

    IDK, I think you got the wrong impression.

    Maybe. I never said she didn’t like it, just that it wasn’t her favorite.

    Alli: I can definitely do harder than this, and I’m gonna. But I thought for a first single, ‘Friday I’ll Be Over U,’  we all agreed would be something that would get people’s attention. You’ve got to get in that door. Know what I mean?

    Sounds to me that releasing FIBOU was a strategic decision, and not “here is my favorite song of the album.”

    I guess we’re talking semantics here… “not her favorite”, “not my favorite” always sounds negative to me. No worries.

    Interesting article on Yahoo Music:

    “Rock ‘N’ Roll Might Be Over, Says…U2?”

    http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/musictoob/24973/rock-n-roll-might-be-over-saysu2/

    Its says “Bono is disappointed in their latest album’s sales, lamenting that No Line On The Horizon “didn’t pull off the pop songs.”"

    Maybe we should be happy that Allison went more pop than expected.

    Releasing singles is always a strategic decision, having more to do with estimated sales potential than artistic merit.

    Reminds me of a David Cook interview, I think on the set of his Light On video, in which he was asked what his favorites on the album were. He listed a few, looking very enthusiastic, finished talking, and then, after a few seconds’ pause, said, “Oh, and Light On, of course.” Hilarious, but also sad, as he switched from artistic mode into marketing mode.

    Anyway, we know from her twitter bash the other night that FIBOU isn’t her favorite, as she was asked which was her favorite and answered with two others (Holiday and No One Else). But as PRMari said, it doesn’t mean she doesn’t like FIBOU. There are plenty of albums on which I love some songs that happen to be surpassed by one or two that I love even more.

    I can’t think of anyone who hits all the characteristics that Allison has

    I can’t either. Compared to the huge variety of male rock voices, the female pool of rock voices is really limited, so I suppose you could say it would be easy for someone like Allison to stand out. But I find her voice to be unique even without doing a gender specific comparison — it’s a rare voice that has depth, grit, a robust tone and already a lot of soul (although it’s going to take some time for her to reach Gladys Knight levels of soul, IMO).

    I’m surprised no one brings up Bonnie Raitt for comparison purposes. Though Raitt is mainly — and very purposefully — a blues singer, and her voice in tone is *very* different from Allison’s, I hear similarities in that both of them have a tremendous ability to convey emotion in a song. It’s what aggravates me the most about the popification of Allison in FIBOU — all that electronic nonsense dulls the emotion in her voice, and that’s one of the things I love most about it.

    That being said, did I buy the single? You bet! And how happy am I that FBIOU is chugging up the iTunes chart? Pretty darn happy. I really want to get a chance to hear all that Allison can do, and I won’t get that unless she sells some records. If this is what sells, so be it. It means I’ll eventually get to hear her voice and all its colors live. : )
