September 4, 200816 yr T5 because it's *her*, but it doesn't really sound like a single to me, just an album track.
September 4, 200816 yr The song is brilliant but not commercial, so I agree: Top5 because it's Dido and then probably quick fall.
September 4, 200816 yr Oh god...it's awful bland, boring... I'd say upper top20 just because it's Dido. But if this $h!t was released by any other less known or less appreciated act it would fall flat flopping badly.
September 4, 200816 yr I quite like Dido songs sometimes but seriously. If this has what she's been cooking up for the past 3/4 years or whatever than OMG. :/ It'll no doubt make the top 5 but I can't see it being huge at all. It's just awful and sounds even too poor to be an album track more like a reject.
September 4, 200816 yr Author Well, I think the song is awesome... But even if it wasn´t that good or commercial, The Verve was able to put their comeback single just on their name. And I think Dido has a bigger name then The Verve, so I´m hopeful.
September 4, 200816 yr http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s...77623&st=60 vote for a Dido forum :cheer: Click the link :D
September 4, 200816 yr The song is brilliant but not commercial, so I agree: Top5 because it's Dido and then probably quick fall. Same here, am disappointed with it tbh. :(
September 4, 200816 yr It is a grower. I do really like the song after 3 listens, However I dont think it can go to number 1. I reckon number 4 :D
September 4, 200816 yr I really don't like her because I think she hasn't got a strong voice. But she had far better songs in the past. Only her name takes her to the top 5.
September 4, 200816 yr I've liked all of Dido's past singles, but this is pretty shoddy to say the least. Had she came back with a good single, I dare say she could have got her first #1 which I would have liked to see happen. This will make #4 or #5.
September 4, 200816 yr I love Dido and this song is good, but i'm not enjoying it as much as I immensely enjoyed "White Flag" on first listen. "Look No Further" is possibly the better song too.
September 5, 200816 yr Author Comparisons with White Flag or Here With Me are pointless... If Madonna had to make a track as good as Like A Prayer with every single, or Mariah had to make a track as good as Without You in every single, both of them would never had another number one in their careers. Not being better then Here With Me or White Flag doesn´t mean it won´t succeed. It´s better then most stuff that goes #1, and that´s what counts... But still, she´s an albums act. Millions buy her albums, so there´s not too much reason to crazily buy her singles, really...
September 5, 200816 yr I've had quite a few listens now and it has grown on me, it's a nice pleasant song but it's no White Flag, but neither was Switch It On a Leave Right now, or 1973 a You're Beautiful, but the albums still sold multi platinum.
September 5, 200816 yr pleasant enough but it just never seems to get anywhere. Dido really needed to release something with a bit more bite given how long she's been away and this doesn't have it. Of course, this may not be the final mix, it sounds quite bare.
September 5, 200816 yr Author I've had quite a few listens now and it has grown on me, it's a nice pleasant song but it's no White Flag, but neither was Switch It On a Leave Right now, or 1973 a You're Beautiful, but the albums still sold multi platinum. Yes, and it fact, Dido has 2 albums that sold 3 million each in the UK. She´s a more stablished artist then James Blunt, because he was following his debut album. Many artists achieve massive sales with their debut and fail with the followup, but after 2 massive albums, probabilities of a flop become much smaller. In fact, I think she could sell 1 million of this album in UK just out of hype and fanbase, no matter how bad the singles were. But if the 2nd single is as commercial as her previous stuff, maybe this can become her 3rd massive blockbuster. I think the song goes Top 5 easily, based on her name alone. The Verve also came back with a rather weak single after years, and still managed to peak in the Top 5 with the lead single and spend a few weeks inside the Top 10. Dido is more stablished then The Verve, and I think her chances of sucess are even bigger. I believe this single is an experiment. If it doesn´t work that well, she must have some more commercial stuff in hand for the 2nd or 3rd singles.
