ummm I am IN LOVE with these songs!
Totally can relate to both but the most to I LOST YOU...amazing!
BTW, I'm, jamming right now to DANGEROUS, thanks. Have you ever noticed the presence of a slight "broken chin" on her previous photos?
Kat has a perfect cleft in her chin that shows up under the right lighting conditions. I have one of those myself...though I've always been annoyed at mine sometimes, because it always shows up under any lighting conditions. Kat has the perfect kind on a beautiful woman.
I don't know Jasmine, I guess that is no worse than a radio station playing them? I thought about it but didn't do it in the end. Anyone can just *****************************...but, we all know these are going to be everywhere very soon anyway, so it's like shutting the barn door after the horses have fled. I guess in the end there is no stopping it, people who just want to hear the songs will find a way, they are probably on Limewire already.
I don't know!
Noth, we enjoy Kat's music and we're excited to find new ones. We love her and we're all sincere fans here, trying to be nice to one another. But we also aim to get good sales because we care about Kat's music career.
You asked if that is okay? I say, NOT really. Even if they're not downloads, it's a webpage backfiring at us at KMF. You don't want to be the reason why someone didn't buy his/her own copy because he/she could hear it online. As simple as that. I know you have put a lot of work on this, but sorry, I must tell you, I could not have done that idea even if I knew how (and I do know).
I think the main purpose of this release is for promotional purposes to build buzz. They're not looking for huge sales here. They're releasing this to build sales for the actual album not to sell 100,000 copies of this single. I mean, we should all definitely buy it but I think streaming it is a great idea. They want the songs to get out there. Plus, the general opinion I've seen on other boards has been very positive and that's a good thing after seeing the reaction of some to songs like "Open Toes". It's good to get these out there imo. I wouldn't call it damage control but it's defintiely turned some people around who didn't know what to think after hearing the promosquad clips.
The abridged version: Keep it up there. It GOOD for people to hear these songs and the whole point of releasing them...to build buzz and sales for the actual album.
The other 3 songs leaked earlier are not officially to be released as they are, whereas, these 2 songs --ILY/D are being released officially, and therefore has sales value in itself (the number of CD's, not the amount of the CD). It's a given that it's a promotional buzz (as you put it, shasha) for the upcoming album, but we know better than to rationalize after we have seen the sales performance of "My Destiny/SOTR", the first official single, when sales were not particularly high as we would have hoped or liked to be. In other words, we still like to get a good performance in sales, no matter what. So, it would be much better to read later on that her pre-album single sales had raked in a significant amount of sales. Whatever I could do to help boost that sales, I'd do it for the sake of Katharine. One thing I'm sure: PPL who will buy this single will also buy the album. Let's keep it in that scenario.
I see both sides...though I'm leaning more toward what Liz said...only because CD quality will provide MUCH better sound than we're hearing on your computer. Most people know that I think--or should be told that if they don't possibly know. Then again, I guess the argument could be that in this day and age of instant gratification...once some hear it, they may not want to spring the money for it. That, when rogue media sites may provide digital copies of this now (as Simon mentioned about Limewire) for people to burn later this week.
