I don't feel it is cornball at all. It is romantic, and it is sensual, not to mention how good he sounds singing it. To me there is nothing more sensual than someone openly letting you know they love you and you are the only one. I bet when he sang it to her it was on..... I bet others felt it wasn't cornball. As a 2nd single, who knows. Me, I would have picked Dear Mr. Man cause I love that song or a Million Days. | |

Still, you gotta admit, this album is doing way better than most of us thought it would (other than the overly delusional fams, who thought that it would be the biggest selling album of all time). I thought it would have some modest success, just because he was getting smarter with his marketing, but I had no idea it would last this long, or do this well. The big question is, out of all the people who bought the album, how many really like it? Apparently he doesn't have to admit...  | |

By the way, "Call My Name" is doing pretty damn good on radio, regardless of whether or not any of us think it would...
According to Radio & Records (the radio equivalent of Billboard), "Call My Name" debuted on the Urban chart at #43, and jumped up 10 spots from #30 to #20 on the Urban AC chart. And for the record, don't discount the Urban charts as not being as important as the Pop charts. They can arguably have as large an effect on the commerciaol success of an album as "Pop" radio stations do, because in the larger retail markets, many younger radio listeners of every stripe and race listen to the urban stations almost as much as the pop stations (if not more). | |

Call My Name is a great choice for a single. Romantic lyrics and his voice sounds perfect.  | |

I can't figure out how the public can buy a song like "Burn by Usher but according to the experts on this site "Call My Name "is a bad single. | |

I was in my car and nearly swerved off the road when I heard "Call My Name" being played on KTU (103.5FM in NY).

If I had to choose a single from this album it would be ICPC, it's funny, it's funky, it may make people want to hear more. I like Call My Name, but I think it alienates too many people that would or could be new listeners. ...:...Must I become naked?

Call My Name and Million Days. I really don't like ICPC. Marrying Kind and If I Were The Man In Your Life are cool also. Call My Name....Didier. | |

Call My Name and Million Days. I really don't like ICPC. Marrying Kind and If I Were The Man In Your Life are cool also. I agree Music is the power.
Love is the message. Truth is the answer. | |
