The choreography and performance were fine. But on the real, this single and Scars sound like good album cuts. Neither is a breakout single, and neither will be a hit.

A big label's machine and money can only get one so far. Many major label artists flop with bigger promo budgets than Ashanti's. She needs a breakout hit. I think First Real Love is that song.

I know Early in the Morning did better on iTunes, but I think First Real Love has more potential, b/c it has a younger and more radio-friendly sound. There's a whole generation of record buyers who have aged into the market since Ashanti came out, and they are definitely NOT checking for a woman whose career peaked 10 years ago. First Real Love could get Ashanti some interest beyond her natural fan base.
