Title: How do you think "My Best" would have done?
Post by: Martin. on October 08, 2007, 03:01:28 pm

i remember V posting in a blog how "My Best" was possibly going to be the single to lead the album.

how well do you think it would have done if they'd have gone with that? better than "Nolita Fairytale"? do you think they made the right decision in not going with "My Best"?

I don't think this it would have done so well to be perfectly honest. It's a good song but I just think it lags on a bit with the verses. I still believe, Nessa would have been better off if she released This Time as a single. My best is wonderful but it's not as singable as a single should be in my opinion. A single to promote an album should be very singable. Sadly, My best [in my opinion] is not.

"This Time" as her comeback single? i think that would have done worse than "My Best", to be honest. her vocals on "This Time" aren't that good (to me) and it's over-produced. i prefered it when she was playing it live.

So do I but the public won't be interested in vocal ability. They'll be interested a passionate song with a very memorable melody that's very singable.

I like My Best better than Nolita Fairytale.

I think more people can relate to it, which is always good for a single choice.

I hope My Best gets 2nd single!
I like it better than Hands On Me, too  :wink:

It would've done nothing, I can't believe they considered it as the first/ comeback single!! It's a nice track, but c'mon it would've gone completely unnoticed.

It doesn't have a real hook, and just when the song grabs you, guess what.. it's finished already.

It's a good song, it would be better if it were 30 seconds or a minute longer.
