I don't really dig U2 too much so not sure abot that. Whenever I read Soundscene's coments they resonate cause I am all about sound, lyrics come later. Btw, I am 21 from Princeton, NJ, play piano and love music from Bocelli to Snow Patrol. My fave is pop and which I figured is considered a lesser genre, lol.

He'll be singing it on tour in the winter/spring, right? It'll be getting airplay right then. I wonder if they'll have him sing on AI as a guest this year?

I can easily imagine him interacting with fans while moving around on the stage and maybe reaching out his hand or pointing towards the audience (if jingle ball/jams are set up in such a way to do that). That song could be a lot of fun in that setting. (the setting in my imagination that is, lol).

It's not my favourite, though. Think, there are much better songs on the album. Having said that I'll stick with Jive and just trust them. They've been right so far with Jordin and with Crush, so I believe the choice was made with consideration of the music market. Well, TMH is quite catchy song with nice beat, very radio-friendly.

Because I really can't see it, I found it funny. Hope you're not offended. (: cruzceleste: Yup, ALNTOY has a great hook that just gets stuck in my head. I love everything about ALNTOY (especially the last chorus, his voice sounds sublime) except the eh-eh-eh-oh bit. That really bugs. That's why My Hands is a better song imo. I have it on a loop. The funny thing is, when I first heard the 30 sec clips, I didn't like My Hands. Sometimes hearing the whole song does the trick. Unfortunately, I still can't bring myself to like Barriers. Bringing back to the second single, I guess I can sort of see why Jive would chose Touch My Hand but it's not the best song on his album and I can't get over the lyrics. soundscene, I wasn’t really laughing AT you.

But it is a good solid song and I would not worry about it too much. I trust in Jive. They've proved to me that they know what their doing. As suggested up thread, maybe the plan is to release a single like every other month or so. Since a lot of radio stations will be switching over to playing a bunch of Christmasy type music anyway, then its probably a good idea to start of with one of the weaker songs. Save the good stuff for after Christmas. And I also agree with what someone else said that its release will fall right in line with all the Jingle Balls/Jams performances. It's perfect for the live stage and the fan girlies will eat it up. Having said all that, does anyone know if this choice as the 2nd single is chiseled in stone? December 9th is still a whole month away. I imagine that Jive could a have a change of heart if it hears enough dissenting commentary from the fans.

I do wish he'd moved around the stage a bit. He was clutching the microphone for dear life! So cute. And I happened to notice that a couple of his bandmates are easy on the eyes!

This was the first time that he sung it in front of a huge audience so I can understand him being nervous but people who did not watch Idol or didn't pay attention to him on the show, would not be able to tell that he was nervous, IMO.

He kept shaking his hands to what I think was relax himself. lol He did a really GREAT job though! That is one tough song to sing. I think those small venues will always have a case of bandzilla. I enjoyed the band though. Made David look all official and everything. :wub_tb: You could tell David was all nerves at the end.
