I don't think there is, the album is pretty much full of fillers. I think she needed this to show there was another side to her, I think it's a decent enough ballad but it's nothing really amazing... it has a month to go though, I think there's life in the old dog yet.

I agree that there's plenty of time left for it take off. It's a really sweet song and I hope it's a hit. I disagree that the album is 'pretty much full of fillers' :heehee: I'd say the only definite filler is 'Mannequin', and perhaps you could say 'Self Inflicted' and 'One of the Boys' at a push. The rest is really solid! Not pretentious or especially modern, just good old pop-rock. 'If You Can Afford Me' is sheer brilliance and really needs to be a single...

I can't see it making the top 10 either now. It's a shame, it's at least 50 times better than 'Womanizer'. :(

Neither is anything LIKE the standard of her best, ie Toxic/Piece Of Me. SO generic. Circus bugs me because it goes nowhere. There's that nice, atmospheric bridge which feels as if it's building to something, and then the chorus comes in and it's just totally dull and flat. If U Seek Amy is 10x the song either of the first two singles are.

I never thought I'd see the day. :o You actually really like her now?

 

I just think most of the songs on there sound like tacky Avril Lavigne rejects, or reminiscent of the sort of thing Hilary Duff was doing in her early days, I can't see any more real hits on the album if this does well. 'Waking Up In Vegas' is alright though...

I love the chorus! I agree 'If U Seek Amy' is probably the album's best, I instantly loved that.

Goo Circus! Very good for The Prodigy! :D

Are Saint Etienne top 120?

Nope I'll check again to double check, but I don't think so...

Damn. Thanks anyway.

I'm pleased for The Prodigy!

 

I'm really eager for The Lonely Island to climb, imagine the controversy if it made the top 40, I wonder how Radio 1 would deal with it. :lol:

I never thought I'd see the day. :o You actually really like her now?

It seems so. :( :heehee: It appears my vendetta was unjustified. I still think IKAG is overrated but I like that she writes unpretentious pop songs and sounds distinctive on record (and awful live!). I just think she seems like a lot of fun. And she's FIT!

I love all three tracks immensly...but so far the single choices have been great.

 

Womanizer and Circus are my two fave tracks on the album.

Wish to god Killers - Spaceman would climb (given up on Saint Etienne).

Happy to see Omen at 8! :yahoo: :yahoo:
