Round 1 is free choice. We've been discussing behind the scenes and are contemplating 'Side To Side' because it has underperformed in both the singles rate and Dangerous Woman survivor, but still has its big fans to get it though. What do you guys think? Okay or too early?

Baby Reindeer Joined: 9 March 2008 Posts: 13,311 User: 5,567	If we're talking My Everything, Break Free is the safest bet since it's better remembered imo. I do think Breathin' is in that zone of not being one of her best singles but still being highly regarded.

But I think 'Side To Side' could be a smart choice for this stage, but 'breathin'' too... The latter may have finished top 5 in an Ari singles rate, but this will be branching out further in the forum so you've gotta add in the casuals/people who don't vote in rates etc.. but it's very highly regarded, isn't it? Either one would be a good move.

BuzzJack Idol Joined: 8 December 2010 Posts: 50,980 User: 12,472	I think 'breathin'' would still be well-received by non-fans too. I remember members loving it in the chart threads and wanting it to receive a proper UK push.
