Yea, I have been hearing about this for months and months now---and FINALLY I get to experience the actual music. And it totally blows. I was expecting something vanilla yet enjoyable.

Yeah, but Celine's ballads weren't this bad LOL.

Lame. But not bad.

Yeah it's a terrible song, but she's really going for the Celine market here, so she'll sell millions as long as they're belted blandly enough. She's massive in Britain.

Also noticed Simon Cowell took the opportunity of being watched by tens of millions of weepy housewives to donate $120,000 to the family of a little girl suffering from cancer. How undoubtedly selfless of him.

I'm starting to think they booted the release back to mid-April because they're gambling "Bleeding Love" will be a full-fledged chart-topper by then. I expect a major move on this week's Hot 100, and then another big move next week: it's already No. 1 on iTunes, and radio, that slow-moving beast, will probably need about 2-3 weeks to catch up. By the week of the 8th, the song could be in the Top Five or even higher.

None of this negates your point, however. A Hot 100 chart-topper isn't nearly as lucrative as a No. 1 album, especially one purchased by the physical-goods-loving Oprah demographic.

Am I the only one who thinks that wretched song should be renamed "Bleeding Ears"??

The girl can sing, I guess, but once the next Idol (Bring back Nori-gay-ga!) triumphs, won't Leona be merely an afterthought in the world of televised karaoke contests?

This song blows. Who's with me??

From my recent days of running the music dept. at a major bookstore, I can tell you that the Oprah bump is something powerful. And Oprah fans tend to be impatient, so if the record they want isn't available, they get pretty upset. Not a good look, Sony BMG.
