Title: I'm really upset about this, she doesn't deserve this THIS time

Why has this flopped? Is this streaming mess is the reason, what is it. This song is IT. Better than GOF and No One and all her terrible singles after Diary. Normally I would want her to flop or be indiffrent but she does NOT deserve this.

#104 on the billboard charts? How? How?  :uhh:

The problem is, she needs to punch out an album and her publicist and label need to hold her in high regards. There literally was no build up or anticipation.

RCA sucks.

This song is just ok. It sounds like Dawn.

Honestly, Alicia hasn't really interested me since "You Don't Know My Name".

I just find her stuff to be very boring & bland.

Post by: KING BENTLEY. on June 17, 2016, 01:36:27 PM
It's too much like Sade and not enough like Alicia gorls

You can't stay gone that long after a flop and come like this.

Even if it does slay, she's lost her fanbase. Which I believe was pretty mixed
I'm sure a lot of Keys listeners moved on to Adele and others.

She's a Jill Scott now. Just hope this alberm slays for filth. She might reclaim her throne

I think the charts and what ppl like is unpredictable. I don't agree.

I think it just may be HER. She's suppose to be big, have a big opening regardless of how good or bad the song is.

these albums sales to come  :stressed:

she just dropped the song as if everyone was supposed to lose their minds or something. I know most songs to require a "set up" or anything, but they handled that in a weird way

But after girl on fire, I think people genuinely got sick of her. She was everywhere with that annoying ass song ssss

Dawn! Drake!

It's Sade all day :dead: each one of them are inspired by Sade anyway lol she damn near mimicked her tone and phrasing in that opening verse

I bet most people didn't even know it was Alicia. That's not always a good thing, although I was certainly happy about it because the vocal was finally clean and soft

Love the song. But it really doesn't scream HIT. It's not a crossover song. Also, the build up to her release was not good. After being gone for so long and with the current state of R&B, you have to kinda create some kinda buzz before just releasing a song.

If her team was SMART, they'd have this song be a duet with Drake. Then it would be a hit. Urban and Rhythmic would instantly play it and she would just need to push the song on Pop radio.

And these older artists nowadays are so lazy. Like, you can still go on Ryan Seacrest, Elvis Duran, etc and promote. Do the ground work.

This is my first time hearing it. I really like it.  There is a season for everything and she did the unforgivable...she got old. I make fun of Beyonc? regressing and trying to be young and hip, but you know what?  It works.  Controversy works, too.  Alicia has neither.
