    Cool song, but not a single! I hope her album doesn’t flop, has she even been promoting it?

  3. stan August 6, 2010

    i still want to know why she didn’t PUSH bittersweet. that song had some momentum, but it’s now stalling. performing it on idol was a great start, but there was NO performances after that. wth is up with that?

    i’m tasia’s #1 fan, but i can’t take all this bull.

    I’m excited to hear her next single choice.but, I agree”Bittersweet” should have been pushed more and “Angels” was really her first release for the album, but I guess it didn’t do well, so her label pretended it didn’t exist. I loved that song though. She should’ve promoted and performed “Bittersweet” more, wtf?! I’m not the biggest fan of Tasia, but she puts out some good music and she should support and put work and effort into her work.

    I like this song alot, and I agree Bittersweet should have been pushed more

    go tasia. u betta get heard

  7. JT August 6, 2010

    Yeah, not sure this is single-worthy. Too bad — I want to see her have a pop hit. I’ve liked this b**** ever since she did the chicken dance on “Idol” in the red wig.

    I like this song> Got the album on pre order on Itunes. Yeah I agree she didn’t promote Bittersweet enough and I don’t get it. She gonna have to work harder if she wants to be a success cause we can’t do everything.

    I love Fantasia but shes way better than this track

  10. #Fact August 6, 2010

    J records is typing up Fantasia’s walking papers. In the next few months, the headlines will read “J records drops Fanatasia.” But remember where you heard it first.

    Good luck to her.

    i like this song! but not sure as a single.. Bittersweet still had life in it, they should still milk that song. i hope they’re not expected hit songs right away, rnb songs now a days take time and promo to catch fire.

  12. Beysbetter August 6, 2010

    WHAT THE HELL is going on wit Tasia this go around…can someone explain to me what happened to “Even Angels” that is still the best cut i heard from any of this mess…and the most radio friendly…

  13. TheBaddestBitch August 6, 2010

    She’s so talented…but her music has no chance to find success in this day & age.

    I’m a bit disappointed by the track….i hope the album’s good.

    Bittersweet is a masterpiece to me…amazing

  14. Lostonez August 6, 2010

    this song is rather boring

  15. Seankill August 6, 2010

    This Song is an album filler at best!!! Not a Single!!! Wow looks like Fantasia is on her way to another flop album!!!!!

  16. Yours Truley August 6, 2010

    This is a decent followup I wish she would have hit a longer note towards the end but she should have continued to PUSH Bittersweet a little more first that song is good all it needed was alittle more promo from her….Fanny please tell your people that although you are a big star in your own right you have not gotten to the point where you can drop new singles/material/projects and expect it to build steam on its own….not YET anyway..you still have to hit the pavement and push it too

  17. BENJAMIN August 6, 2010

    As much as I like Tasia, I smell an album pushback.

  18. Quiana August 6, 2010

    I don’t know about this one I like bittersweet myself she needs to push that one more.

  19. PLAIN AND SIMPLE August 6, 2010

    don’t like the hair but I love the song

  20. KBJr. August 6, 2010

    I see her team aims to continue to antagonize Fantasia’s most devoted fans by ignoring the (as I’ve seen over the last eight months) groundswell of support for “Move On Me” as a single. The label ignores the fans, and we continue to see ‘Tasia’s commercial potential sabotaged.

    You can only hear a 1-minute snippet of “Move On Me” anywhere, and it’s already cultivated dozens of amateur renditions on Youtube.

    “Bittersweet” had to grow on me, but it did in a big way, and I’m happy to see it doing well on the Urban charts (unfortunately, I’ve come to expect Top 40 to continue to ignore ‘Tasia and her music). If “When I See U” couldn’t muster any pop format support (after being #1 for eight weeks on the R&B chart), I’m not surprised to see “Bittersweet” getting zero love. It’s time to double-down on growing her urban support, and worry about the pop charts later.

    “Man Of The House” was also a grower. It’s an able enough track, but for the life of me, I can’t figure out why they consider this a better second-single than “Move On Me”. It boggles the mind. If it is indeed the new single, I’m sorry to say I predict nothing but stalled potential for it. I can’t see it climbing either urban or pop, and the team will be put on the defensive after what turned out to be a masterful first-single.

    The constant push-backs haven’t helped. This album was supposed to have been released back in July. The late video hasn’t helped. And as mentioned above, the lack of a PR push hasn’t helped. Folks have to know ‘Tasia is back before than can support her product. She seriously needs to start firing somebody!

    It is nice…as an album track, not a radio single. It doesn’t jump out to me.

  22. QUESTION EXISTING August 6, 2010

    STOP IT!!! ‘RIH~LUV’. Rated R era is over, even Island Def Jam said so themselves!!!!

  23. FUSION August 6, 2010

    Nice song….reminds me of something off of Mariah’s memoirs of an imperfect angel.

  24. JonathanGardnerTV August 6, 2010

    I agree that “Bittersweet” still needs more of a push BUT I still think that EVEN ANGELS has been the B E S T recording I’ve heard from the “Back To Me” era so far and is my favourite Fantasia song…

  25. Keshia August 6, 2010

    Love Man of the house i think its a good choice for 2nd single and they aint gon stop pushing bittersweet and bittersweet did real good on the charts in made it to number 10 which i must say it should had went straight to #1 but i dont know what happen but i got faith in Fantasia and everything gon be alright and if they drop her trust me somebody gon pick her up

  26. Robier August 6, 2010

    WAIT!!!! no shade but bittersweet had success????? really? Im Afrai Tasia gonna flop. After ‘Even Angels’ was all of a sudden a BUZZ single and so far No song has garnered great attention for her cd?

  27. MR. STILL STANDING August 6, 2010

    Bittersweet has peaked at #10 on the R&B charts and are airplay is still gaining…..so what are you guys talking about? The song has time to move back up.

  28. Robier August 6, 2010

  29. Wanda August 6, 2010
