Post a song that REALLY should have been a single

[BoysForSeles]

Especially as some later versions were UK hits

 

[Cerro de Casa]

 

[jivafox]

 

[Frozen]

"Cruel Summer" seems like the biggest missed opportunity of her career. I like "Paper Rings" but don't think it would have made a great single.

If she was able to make a single out of "ME!" then could've easily done with either of these.

 

[Halli]

Love Never Loved Me - Geru Halwell

The best thing she's ever done. Should have been the first single instead of 'Ride it' let alone 'Desire'

 

[Cerro de Casa]

 

[POP!]

As if anything would have been a hit, but I think this would have done better than "Beat of My Drum" which may be the worst song on the album

 

[BoysForSeles]

If we are doing categories of wouldn’t have been a hit anyway then this should be amongst Aimee’s singles discography, gorgeous.

 

[POP!]

If she was able to make a single out of "ME!" then could've easily done with either of these.

Yes "ME!" is shit. I have a soft spot for "You Need to Calm Down" and "Lover" so would have kept those.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

With some really, REALLY dated sounding early '00s remixes on the maxi single YES PLEASE

 

[Raining on Me]

Obviously this

 

[VoR]

Instead of the tacky Crickets Sing... this probably would have been another big Radio 2 hit that kept the album ticking over nicely and ended the era on a high.

 

[POP!]

either of these would've made great singles:

 

[VoR]

Instead of Perfume. The Britney Jean album was generally awful, but this is one of the more interesting things she's ever done and could have lent itself to a great video.

 

[Raining on Me]

This Sugababes song is easily in their top 5 for me. The way it build and builds with that double chorus thing going on. I mean they didn't NEED it at all, but it would have been nice

 

[Cerro de Casa]

 

[POP!]

 

[VoR]

Why would you fork out for a Max Martin banger and then do NOTHING with it?!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

 

[Raining on Me]

Instead of Perfume. The Britney Jean album was generally awful, but this is one of the more interesting things she's ever done and could have lent itself to a great video.

Oh YES. It's SO SO good, I can't fathom why it was left on the shelf, especially on that dreadful album...

 

[vespertine]

Easily:

 

[vespertine]

Also:

 

[VoR]

I mean, her solo career was NEVER GONNA HAPPEN in the grand scheme of things, but this could/should have done something.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

 

[vespertine]

How do you think "Amazing" would have fared?

 

[Raining on Me]

I used to think this was one of the best pop songs EVER MADE and I think I stand by that. It sounds a bit dated but my god, the hooks, it's everything.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

How do you think "Amazing" would have fared?

Probably marginally better but who cares, the gays lived for "Impressive Instant" as did Madonna clearly when she commissioned the remixes AND featured it prominently on the tour. Oh WELL!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I used to think this was one of the best pop songs EVER MADE and I think I stand by that. It sounds a bit dated but my god, the hooks, it's everything.

Apparently she had filmed a video and everything?

 

[Raining on Me]

I mean, her solo career was NEVER GONNA HAPPEN in the grand scheme of things, but this could/should have done something.

I think it's more shocking that Angel City (who actually had hits, sort of) bunged it on their album and STILL did nothing with it

Much like Nothing Good About This Goodbye, it just seemed doomed to never happen

 

[Jark]

Instead of Perfume. The Britney Jean album was generally awful, but this is one of the more interesting things she's ever done and could have lent itself to a great video.

not with that vocal it couldn't have

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I know she hates the album and she's wrong about that; but the singles weren't the best and this is a slice of heaven.

 

[Raining on Me]

Apparently she had filmed a video and everything?

Oh I had no idea, that's a shame. I guess it didn't fit the "brand" she had at the time. Most of L.A.M.B's best moments were in the second half and not singles

 

[POP!]

I like "Alien", and probably prefer it, but "Til It's Gone" seemed like the missed opportunity of BJ for me...

 

[Raining on Me]

not with that vocal it couldn't have

Oh yes, Britney that QUEEN of VOCALS

THAT'S why she became a superstar

 

[Zu]

I know she hates the album and she's wrong about that; but the singles weren't the best and this is a slice of heaven.

OH YES

 

[Cerro de Casa]

 

[POP!]

If we're talking about Janft...

 

[Zu]

I like this much more than the actual singles

 

[Raining on Me]

I agree, though it wouldn't have made a difference at that point. I was trying to think of beautiful garbage songs that might have saved the project (nothing would have I suspect except changing Androgyny as first single, which is sad) and I keep coming back to:



Because it's so melodramatic and could appeal to all audiences. I had video ideas of Shirley stuck on a boat at night in a storm swept sea, singing her heart out

 

[POP!]

I think this would have made a nice single Q4 2009 to wrap up the campaign with...
