No, I said it when the first speculation that this was the song was posted ‘” and again too many times ‘” Jive/19R screwed this whole thing up. They made a bad choice for Kris’ lead single and the marketing for it was dismal. And radio airplay might help but not that much. I am so angry with Jive/19R that I have steam coming out of my ears.

Q3 – I understand your anxiety – but I truly believe that the song has great potential, especially for longer term staying power (it has gotten very positive reviews across the board) – and that, while Jive has been very slow with any kind of media push for it, that it WILL pick up this week with more PR (as in itunes banner, etc. – one can hope).

Maria22: Maybe a new single if LLWD doesn’t live up to potential?

I agree completely that he needs a new song because this is not going to be the kind of hit that Kris deserves. But I doubt that they will release a third Kris single before they release his album.

But, what potential? LLWD is a song that The Script only put on as a bonus track on one Japanese version of their album and on a deluxe CD Single — clearly they believed that had 12 better songs. And even the best The Script single peaked at #114 on the US charts.

listenin’ to @KrisAllen4Real s.. ” live like were dying” .. you guys gata get it.. its amazing..!!

I think the answer is simple ‘“ [the kid] needs to do an explicit version of LLWD ‘“ I would SO download that just to hear [him] curse

At this point, he might want to consider major surgery to stop the bleeding. Maybe, a wardrobe malfunction duet with Justin Timberlake.

The way this song is going, it may be dropped from his set before it’s even added.

2. Many of these web-based chart listings do not include songs classified as ‘explicit,’  basically an NC-17 rating for a song.

I do too, I think Kris’s style suits him to a T. Not a big fan of the shoes, but I like the story behind them so I’m good. Kris is adorable just the way he is.

What’s the story behind his shoes?

Thank you HWC- couldn’t say it better myself….

NewFan:

I think the differences in chart ranking for LLWD that you’re seeing are because:

1. Not all of the web-based chart listings are updated as often as the chart that is within the iTunes store itself.
2. Many of these web-based chart listings do not include songs classified as “explicit,” basically an NC-17 rating for a song.

On the chart within the iTunes store, I believe there are 8 songs above LLWD with an explicit rating (mostly rap). Someone super helpful in a previous thread provided what seems to be the most up-to-date web-based chart listing, which is a direct feed page.

feed://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wpa/MRSS/topsongs/sf=9123444/limit=0000/rss.xml

Because it’s a feed rather than a normal web page, it’s a little odd. Apparently in order for you to truly refresh the page, you need to edit the number within this part: sf=9123444 of the link and replace it with any random number, then hit your Enter key. It doesn’t matter what, I usually just change one digit, and that’s enough to force a refresh of the feed.

LLWD has dropped another notch…

“WRITTEN ALL OVER MY FACE”. The radio appearances can be pre-recorded. The open house party he did yesterday was the same. So it’s likely if he has appearances, it has been recorded already and I don’t think he will spend more than 2days up there.

I don’t understand sending the poor kid to London at all. They need to give him a little time off to recharge his batteries and get ready to hit the ground running with a band to promo his big CD release.

Maybe 19E felt that the day off at the beach yesterday was all he needed ?
Maybe a new single if LLWD doesn’t live up to potential?

More recording or promotion? LLWD dropped out of 50, landing at #57 now. I thought he would do more radio shows in US.

The direction his single is headed, he better check his boarding passes to make sure 19E booked him a return flight. He might be on the verge of getting Hicks’d.

The kid should be recording in Nashville. That’s where the top singer-songwriters and producers are,
