Title: Will "White Houses" flop?
Post by: All I Ask2003 on July 28, 2004, 01:59:11 pm
I know, it's a terrible question to ask, but I just had to ask it.

I need to hear the whole song to really determine what I think the pop success of it will be. It sounds like upbeat pop from what I heard... but we will see.

Hard to say, but I of course hope it doesn't.... as B said, I need to hear the whole song in order to be able to judge that.

i put maybe.. not that i want it to flop but what i heard wasn't too jaw dropping, but that was 10 seconds of the song tops

i can't wait to hear the whole thing. i hope it does better than ATM did, and has some nice piano licks like ATM did

Yeah, maybe is all we can answer at this point, because it is really hard to judge a song on that short of a snippet.

O_o

I don't know if you could judge if you heard the whole song.  I couldn't.

Well, it would be easier because you could compare the song to what is currently popular on the pop charts and see if it fits in and such, because if it doesn't fit in it may not get much airplay, etc.

It is all subjective anyway  8)

Probably . . . assuming that it's promoted like her last two singles were, and assuming it's anything like PB or OD.

Not that it's bad, it's just that other than the few of us here at NH.com, there aren't very many more Vanessa-crazed Gs running around Europe, or other parts of the world that count.

well, at least no one put "what is this white houses you speak of"  :wink:

I think that it's poppy (is that a word...?) enough for the radio right now, so I'm gunna go with HELL NO!

From what I heard, it's not a really good song...

Post by: Manda on July 28, 2004, 09:59:40 pm
Maybe, but I'm sure that if we all support her and buy the single/album and spread the word, we can prevent that flop.  :D  

I'm sure White Houses will do well.  :wink:

Ok, based on what I've heard NOW, I am confident (maybe a little too confident) that WH will do awsomely.

I'd make it a 'hell no' too- but its our duty to make sure it doesn't flop!
Title: Will "White Houses" flop?
Post by: JazzyManda on August 04, 2004, 02:18:33 pm
idk anymore. the song is too rinky dinky, kind of boring, and the piano sounds just like ATM's decending piano line except without the sixteenth notes.

i like the beat in the chorus. i like the creshendoes(sp? lol) in the chorus with the strings, that sounds nice. but it's just too plain in the verses.

i'm not sure how well it will do. hopefully very well. i just don't think it has ATM potential, but that's just my opinion

EDIT: i've been listening to it more. and it sounds better after a couple plays. i'm excited to see how it does on the charts

Yeah, I gotta say hell no now too, this song should blow up, if not on pop radio on Hot AC.

Post by: Moogs21 on August 04, 2004, 08:06:03 pm
Well... I really like it.
But my tastes are far from the crap they play on the radio these days!

It's... different, I think. I guess that's what I like.

I'm not sure if it's popish enough to suit those airbrained preteens who buy music...
(that was mean, but that was my thought)

I hope not, too much flopping can cause no more albums! Then I'd cry!

I'm still going with maybe...we all thought pretty baby would blow up on the radio too...all except pete....and look how well it did.

i voted hell no......i heart it! and even if you don't like the music to the song, how can you noooot like the lyrics?!

What i also think is really clever is that the song is about the demographic its targeted at- she says its written about being from 16-24 and isn't that the age range these stations target? I think its perfect. Also, as Brian and i were discussing- its an 'end of summer' song and look when its being released. They've thought about it.

 W00t!

i'd have to say Hell No.....just by hearing a little bit...it sounds really good....it's very catchy, and i can't seem to get it outta my head.....and the video looks great too.....videos are kinna important to the popularity of a song (or lack of popularity...a la Pretty Baby)

but yeah....I think it'll do fine.... :D

lol no problem! i usually can't spell either, but i remembered that one cuz it's spelled weird :-P

and i'm so in love with the lyrics. The last part is really relatable for me...i think that, like rosie said, since its target audience is such a wide range there are bits of the song which everyone can relate to -which will make the song go far i think. i know most of my friends really determine whether or not they like a song by the lyrics

I vote outside of the poll:

Who cares!?
Title: Will "White Houses" flop?
Post by: Jaded Rogue on September 08, 2004, 08:55:49 am
I voted "maybe". Most definatly NOT because it's not an excellent song, because it is, but because people tend not to appreciate talent. Had she been rolling on the floor in a mini skirt and belly shirt w/ a dude--and showing her virginity lost in some way......Well, I think that it would be up there more. The world is nasty, lol

But, again, I voted "maybe", because, as I said, it's an excellent song. And just like "A Thousand Miles", it could get way up there. Her talent might prevail! I'm voting for her!
