im not suprised the is the US single... I will be has had a lot of hype in the US and is very radio friendly there... plus i think its a great song. For me Take A Bow has always been the best song on the album, and i wonder how much the fact Rihanna had such a huge hit with the same name impacted the release... I dunno... I just dont see why this wasnt a single?

 

I would have released

UK:

1- Bleeding Love

2- Take A Bow

3- I Will Be

4- Better in Time

5- (now)- Run

 

Forgive me, is the weakest single for me... its not even looking like it'll get a US release now, which it was made for due, to not doing well internationally. Footprints was only released cause of the charity!

can we assume this has been cancelled as a us single in favour of run??

Nothing has been confirmed yet. ^_^

Considering nothing's been confirmed with Run, I'm taking it that IWB is still going to be the next US single. IWB had 41 spins on POP this week and it's definitely more US radio friendly than Run (even though there's little pre-add buzz at the moment). I just wish somebody would say Run is just being released on iTunes, then all this speculation would stop. Maybe they're seeing how it performs on iTunes before making a statement? It's up to #19 so that's pretty good with no promo. I just wish we had some confirmation from someone...

Well Run is doing brilliantly at the moment so IMO they should just delay this and make it the US's 4th single.

I agree. It's not too late to cancel IWB. It's not even taken off on radio yet. This is why something needs to be announced soon because there's only so long it can rise with NO promo or anything. She needs to release TAB or Forgive Me after this though, as she needs to show she's versatile to the American market. All they've heard from her are these big emotional songs. I was hoping they would market her a *little* differently. It would be good to show a more slick side of her with a song like Take A Bow, or Forgive Me (which OK didn't set the world alight) which could do well on a number of US radio formats (POP, Rhythmic and maybe even Urban).

I think they should release Run now, and put I Will Be as the single after. I hope we get I Will Be as a single too. :heart:

Really though they should realese Forgive Me in the US, since that was the country it was probably designed for and will be a much bigger hit than it was in the UK.

the record label will be warey of putting forgive me out though wont they? cause it didnt take off in any countries... so far?

 

i would be suprise if they didnt go with run... its doint amazing on i tunes... but i really felt 'i will be' is destined for a us release... then again i'll never get over the fact take a bow wasnt a single...

True, because Forgive Me is the type of music that the US prefer.

Looks like this is going ahead as the next single. The video looks great!

Woah, she looks smokin' in the video. The pics and Letterman performance have renewed my interest in IWB. I still don't know whether it's the right choice for next single, but it means more Leona promo so I won't complain.

Interesting to see the realese of I Will Be is still going ahead then, i wonder if we'll get a UK realese aswell? Video should be good aswell.

I hope we get it after Run.

Hmm look forward to seeing the video!

Chace Crawford is adding another role to his resumé – the Gossip Girl heartthrob will star in singer Leona Lewis's video for her next single, "I Will Be," which was filmed Thursday in New York City.

 

"He has speaking lines in the video as well as just appearing in it," a source tells PEOPLE, adding enthusiastically, "It will be the most anticipated video in January."

 

So how did the seemingly unlikely pair – both are 23, though she was born in London and he, in Texas – come together?

 

"Chace went to London a couple months ago for meetings and to promote Gossip Girl. He went to a party and ended up meeting Leona," the source reveals.

 

The two "hit it off and talk every once in a while and have become fast friends," the source adds.

 

The result? "A couple weeks ago Leona called Chace and asked if he would be in her next video. He obviously said yes."

I really hope it's released early January!

This is the third single for the US then, I hope we get it in the UK. Great performance! :wub:
