The song is still terrible to me, and her vocals are awful on it. She is screaming most of the chorus...

Yeah I do too, but there are some right rough parts of the city :lol: Chapel Town and Harehills where Mel's grandparents lived is rough as they come, but Chapel Town has a fabulous West Indies festival though it's brilliant! :wub:

I definitely feel like Think About It coming out in the week of the album was a bit of a self-sabotage moment, it really should have come a week or two earlier. Plus I'm sure that performance occurred in July, but the single came out in September... so anyone who watched it and enjoyed it in July would have forgotten about it by September. :')

 

Also it's still her best song for me since her debut album era. I really don't hear 'screaming' in that song! She's belting, but it's completely in tune.

My recollection isn't great but was it even up for pre-order in July when that performance happened? A couple of months on pre-order, 2 cd singles, remix EP, acoustic version (seen as she performed it that way so often) and it coming out 2 weeks before the album.

 

I mean it is pretty amazing it got to #90 when it was thrown to the wolves anyway.

It just sounds like she is stretching her voice to a tune that isnt the best suited for her tone I think, in the chorus. It's pretty painful to hear, imo...

Gotta say though, Who I Am is really amazing. Her best song since I Turn To You, definitely her best single since then too.

 

Apart from a few clunky verses, it's pretty great and it's good to see her back on top form again!

She did good indeed. That was better than High Heels on Graham and it's not even a proper performance.

I thought who i am might chart in some European countries but it doesnt appear to have charted anywhere :cry:

I think it is nice that she has a new PR team which give her much more press clout this time around, but she also really needs back up from a record label to really start charting again...

 

Labels hold a lot of power with streaming services and radio - your main ways of getting into the charts. She needs to play those cards too if she wants to achieve that. Maybe she doesnt - and I bet it isnt *that* easy for her to get a satisfactory deal nowadays... Don't know... Maybe she also doesnt want it?

Oh Mel C would love chart success, she has let it slip a few times. I always remember when she said she would be absolutely gutted if The Sea missed the top 40.

Radio 2 should A list this track !!

She’s about to do Radio 2 promo this afternoon with Steve Wright

Of course she would, every single one of the girls... in fact anybody in the music industry whatsoever... would love chart success.

 

It's whether she would want to in a position where she feels controlled by a label again like she clearly did with Virgin in the end as they put their foot down on what should be released from Reason. I also wonder whether they pushed her in that direction musically as she was talking about going harder in interviews in 2000 for her second album. Reason is not harder in the slightest, she then went for a more rockier sound for Beautiful Intentions as soon as she went independent.
