originally posted by Nixxxed Have you heard anything else about the album? I've only heard the bits of Good Is Good from the commercial, and the Oprah song, which I don't even know made it to the album.

I do know that she was originally slated to release 2 lps this year one a "pop ' album and one an 'art ' album .Then later I heard this idea was scrapped ,so I assume this is either the pop album or a combination of the two

I also have read that the songs are going to be more about being in love and having a realtionship .I'm not sure this augers well for the album or not since her best 2 albums "Sheryl Crow' and the "Globe Sessions' seemed to be about her battle with depression and a break up of a relationship.Like I mentioned before the new single does leave me a bit more optimistic about the new one than Soak up the Sun did about her last.

If I were to try to catch it, when should I watch? The only time I ever see videos on VH1 is late at night on Insomniac Music Theater. The rest of the time it's fat celebrities and crazy has-beens locked together in a house.

Yep, it was about that time. I never see any music videos on VH1 anymore either, except for late at night, like you said. When they played this it just randomly came on after some show. I'm not sure if it's something they're repeating all week or what, but you can get the single on iTunes right now.

If you go to Sheryl's website, there's a link to see the video. My opinion on the song is that it's very blah and forgettable. Not bad, just not very good either. Soak up the Sun was cheesy but catchy and fun but "Good is Good" is nothing.

It was one of the last eps of the next-to-last season (02-03). Rachel had developed a crush on Joey, and was finally gonna tell him at a rooftop Days of Our Lives Party that Joey was throwing. She finally gets up her nerve, and Thrown Down starts playing as she's heading off to find him. She finds him, but he's making out with Aisha Tyler's character (who was playing Ross' paleontology friend/love interest).

The beginning of the song was really quiet and in the background, but when it got to the chorus it was very prominent, especially the "Maybe now he could prove to her / That he could be good for her / That they should be together" lines...

That's a shame. I would've liked to hear both.

They did the same thing with Green Day last night. Weird. VH1 actually showing music and music-related shows again? Did The Rapture start yet?

I'm a dialup slave, so I guess I'll run up to the library and check it out. Thanks! (But I also need to watch the "Vegas Hookers" video, too.

I was so happy when she got killed on 24 last season.

I'm sorry, but her new single has grown on me like a fungus. That chorus is a killer and her voice sounds so lovely. The cover of the album is fantastic, too.

I didn't realize they had released the cover art yet. But I just checked it out, and I'm not sure what to think.

I love the art, but her sitting cross-legged in the middle of it kinda ruins it for me, especially since the colors don't match (meaning her skintone, outfit, etc.). She looks out of place.

And, all the Stevie fan in me sees is a rip-off of the TISL promo litho. Not to mention the fact that she's basically wearing Stevie's WH Tour outfit. Yeah, I know the rest of the album-buying public won't see it this way, but being both a Stevie & Sheryl fan I can't help but notice.

The song is growing on me, just cuz it's nice to have Sheryl's voice haunting my head again. But I caught part of the VH1 Top 20 Countdown last week, and her video limped onto their chart at 20. And I don't think that's *ever* happened with her lead singles.

Yeah, I gotta say, I like it, too. The lyrics are somewhat cringeworthy - not her best effort - but I like it. I love her voice, so I'll almost always love what she sings.

As for the album art... not wild about it. I love the title "Wildflower" - but it looks a little too forceably arty.
