View Full Version : Wake Up America is Breakout's 3rd single?!?!?
flutesinger262

Why??????? come on why can't they pick a song like goodbye? Seriously Wake Up America is the worst song they would have picked as far as mainstream goes.
http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b81844_miley_trades_porsche_enviro-friendly.html
We had a feeling that old hand-me-down Porsche Cayenne (http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b72824_its_miley_with_learners_permit_porsche.html ) wasn't going to last long for Miley Cyrus (http://www.eonline.com/celebrities/profile/index.jsp?uuid=8ff16b0c-8d19-4c03-a87b-58715916d01b). Two months after being given her mom's old SUV as a Sweet 16 present, Miles is over it for some interesting reasons.
For one, "it was too big and scared her," a source tellsE! News. Also, she's pretty serious about going green (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCJEmCHfhco), especially with a soon-to-be released single on her current album, Breakout, titled "Wake Up America (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dytT-8n5IZE)." That song goes a little something like this:
Oh, the earth is calling out
I wanna learn what it's all about
But everything I read's global warming, going green
I don't know what all this means
But it seems to be saying
Wake up America
We're all in this together
It's our home, so let's take care of it
You know that you want to, you know that you got to
Subtle, no? (It's about saving the environment.) So Billy Ray finally woke up and surprised her with a black Prius over the weekend. We gotta hand it to Miley: With all her bike riding and now hybrid driving, it really seems like she's legitimately trying to live green.

Why are they even releasing a single? They hardly pushed Fly on the Wall so why a third one? I didn't think they would release another single honestly.
The reason why Wake Up America is simple though, it's a popular theme. Quite of an easy sell image wise.
aprilrainer
02-02-2009, 02:38 PM
yea I saw that and I was like "Nooooo!" lol I don't know why she would want that to be the third single. She should make "Goodbye" her third single. She should check youtube and see how many people like that song.
flutesinger262
02-02-2009, 02:38 PM
I didn't think they were going to either.
its an easy sell image wise but if their goal is to prove shes for more then just tweens then Wake Up America is not the song to pick. its the most tweeny bopper on the album other then possibley breakout

02-02-2009, 02:41 PM
These decisions are made by people that think they know the market though, in a lot of cases they don't. With all the troubles in the world right now the going green thing is actually becoming more popular; Hollywood Records probably wants to jump in on that.
And honestly that's one aspect I hate about the music history; launching "new singles" more than half a year after they hit the market.

because its basically Miley's best written song. the problem with goodbye is it would get people to take her seriously but it would never be a hit because its a ballad.

i hope this isn't true. e is usually reliable, but they do also get information mixed up sometimes. miley hasn't said anything about a new single yet
ANYWAYS it's the worst song on the album, imo. and if her management is seriously considering releasing it as a single, they're basically shooting her in the foot in terms of her music career. it will fail on the radio.
sorry to sound pessimistic, but it's also realistic.

"I know you don't wanna hear it, especially coming from someone so young"
and the reviewer was like your right we don't.

I'd rather have Bottom Of The Ocean or Four Walls personally, not Goodbye cause that one feels like more of an album song, more for the fans than mainstream public.
But OMG NO! Not Wake Up America! I like it, but another problem it will have as a single is that it only applies to America. What if she's releasing another single worldwide. No one in Brazil or Germany is going to want to hear someone singing about how America needs to wake up, unless they're a fan anyway. Shame Wake Up Earth and Wake Up Planet don't have the same ring to them

it won't be shooting her in the foot music career wise considering FOTW didn't do well. Wake Up America can't do much worse.
it is the worst song on the album. all it shows is that they're still aiming for tweeny boppers only.
apogeum
02-02-2009, 02:56 PM
That song always felt a bit forced onto the album really, especially if you think about what might have been cut from it. More of a filler track really.
I don't think it would harm her music career but it most certainly won't help it either. Especially not if the Hannah Montana soundtrack is release quite soon and that has songs like The Climb on it.
I think the need to release a third single comes more from Hollywood Records than from anyone else though. Music wise there is no need to release a single so the only motive I could think of is money.

fotw wasn't promoted properly. there wasn't necessarilyanything wrong with the song. WUA is just a terrible song in terms of the quality of writing. this is a whole different level. and if that's the type of song they're pushing, then yeah it will hurt her.

I know FOTW wasn't promoted and that was the problem but it doesn't change the fact that WUA can not do much worse then it. I agree it shouldn't be released as a single but the impact is not going to be nearly as bad as you think. it would be different if this was to be her first single from the album but its her 3rd. as it is most people won't really pay attention to it.
if they didn't push FOTW then they aren't going to push this song especially with the HM movie soundtrack coming out. this is the most tweeny bopper on the album the tweens willl love it because its catchy, so its pretty clear they're just hoping for this to be a hit on RD and with the tweens. this isn't being release for people like you or me, which personally i think is a big mistake. but this won't do any permanant damage

02-02-2009, 03:02 PM
^^Okay the cat in your sig is seriously starting to freak me out.
On topic, It's true, it really isn't a well-written song at all, I actually really like the melody of it, it's just the lyrics. And FOTW is doing really well atm in the UK with pretty much no promotion except loads of airplay on the Music Channels, I've only heard it once or twice on the Radio and Miley herself hasn't been over here promoting it at all.
It would feel like a step backwards releasing WUA if you ask me, because like you said Flute, apart from Breakout, WUA is the most tween style song on the album. There are so many other great songs off the album to choose from, why on earth would they choose this as the next single?
flutesinger262
02-02-2009, 03:05 PM
I think they'd choose it because the tweens are who they're aiming for. its clear their goal isn't to have her seen as an artist who should be respected becuase if it was then WUA would never even be considered.
Nellie FOTW did horrible hear because they never pushed it. like really bad here.
apogeum
02-02-2009, 03:09 PM
That it's a tween song would suggest even more that it's a decision by Hollywood Records and not Miley herself. I somehow don't really see a video coming out for it either, wouldn't see a point to doing that either. If she even had the time to do it.
Lets just hope it's the last single and Hollywood Records doesn't turn her into a Mariah Carey rip off by releasing five or six singles from one album.

No way this was Miley's decision. i'm convinced they're releasing this for the tweeny bopper fans, because like i said if they wanted to show shes more then the tween star then this would be the worst song to release.

02-02-2009, 03:30 PM
Honestly I don't think any other of the major labels would do it differently; a lot of them try to steer their artists in a certain direction. The only place she could really go is an independent label which is a subsidiary of for example Universal (I mean what isn't these days).
flutesinger262
02-02-2009, 03:33 PM
yeah a lot of them steer their artists in certain directions, I guess its a matter of finding a label that is looking to go in the same direction as you are. I still don't think Miley and Hollywood records are on the same page.

well I didn't expect FOTW to do well here at all since it really wasn't promoted at all in the US let alone worldwide.
The only times I've seen FOTW played here was on MTV Hits which isn't a channel from here even though we have it.
7 Things did amazingly well here, the music video was one of the most played music videos on every channel and the song was played on the radio... but 7 Things was promoted atleast on the US.
I can't even imagine what WUA will do... I mean not even FOTW which a looot of people love this song didn't do very well.
I think its dumb if they release WUA as her next single...
There are so many songs that could show off what shes capable of and how to take her seriously... I really was like 'wtf' once I saw the title of the thread.
Nelliephant
02-02-2009, 03:38 PM
Bleh, I'm sad FOTW didn't do well in America, it really is a great song.
Yup, hopefully once her current contract is up with HR, Miley will find another label that wants the same things she does. Sure they'll always want to make as much money as they can, but there are some that are more interested in making the style of music Miley wants to make and actually want to promote their artists.
Also, I reckon when she's older Miley should definitely consider starting her own label. I mean, by that point I'm pretty sure she'd be able to afford it, it'd be a great investment and something she'd love to do I reckon.
apogeum
02-02-2009, 03:39 PM
well, might be her idea, she seems pretty into ~spreading the message~
If the song was that much about spreading the message I think she would have performed it more often. Did she even ever perform the song live at some sort of public event? Looking at the songs she performed on TV etc. the only song I ever expected as a third single was Bottom of the Ocean.
Putting it on an album is also one thing; when you release it as a single people might consider it as too preachy. But yes Miley could have had a say in it, we can never say for sure until Miley says something about it.
Thing is that she's going to be too busy promoting all the other stuff to push Wake Up America.
NancyDrew
02-02-2009, 03:40 PM
Yeah, but you're supposed to promote Miley further. If you were anyone else but a tween company, you would do that.
flutesinger262
02-02-2009, 03:53 PM
Hollywood Records is promoting Miley further they're just promoting her to the fanbase that they're after but the problem is Miley doesn't want ot just be a tween star. HR does want her to be that because the tween market is where the money is.
I think Miley and the lable are on different pages, thats why I think shes gone as soon as that contract is up.
NancyDrew
02-02-2009, 03:58 PM
And that's my problem with them. Miley needs to grow as an artist if she wants to survive. That's not the way to do it.
flutesinger262
02-02-2009, 04:01 PM
I just keep thinking 2 more albums, lol. by 18 she'll be done with them. she'll either end up on another lable in LA or maybe even a country label in Nashville. either way I don't think she'll stay with HR's. I know they have non disney artists on the lable but HR's and Miley just don't seem to want the same thing and they don't seem to want to give her creative freedom

02-02-2009, 04:02 PM
i actually had my doubts about Hollywood Records in certain areas since Hilary Duff tried to get out of there. They seem to be not interested at all in Hilary screwing up her music career. Seems like they only had a short term interest in her, I sure hope that's not the case with Miley.
If you manage a career well it can go a long way. I can understand them trying to limit her in certain areas; they're a business they want to secure income. But part of business is also long term planning and that seems to be lacking a bit.
Maybe she can hitch a ride on Island Records, that would open up chances to work with the Killers as well ;).

Hilary is doing what she is doing to get out of the contract yes; thing is that by the time she has achieved that goal no one is going to care about her music anymore. She might as well quit that part of her career.
Seems like five albums is a standard deal for Hollywood Records actually, so I'd think that Demi might be fixed to that number as well. Why they signed Hayden Panettiere I'll never understand though, seems they don't even want to bother with her anymore now.
Just thinking if there actually has ever been a Hollywood Records with five albums yet..... I think Hilary might be the first one. I doubt they'll be fighting to keep her though, for Miley they might fight. Contracts with a time constraint are a bit weird anyway, it should be about the quality of the music not the quantity. Though it's also to prevent artists from taking forever to release a new album ;).

I would highly doubt she would break the contract seeing that would cost a lot of money. I don't see her throwing some random "best of" CD in their either, seeing Miley writes her own music unlike Hilary. I don't think she could really do that.
I can see a bidding war starting once she would leave Hollywood Records though.

FOTW failed in terms of play on the radio, but it wasn't a poorly written song quality wise. she's been getting respect with the singles she's had, whether or not they were a radio hit. FOWT was played on MTV a lot. WUA? yeah right. in terms of being respected as a real artist, it will set her back, imo. she finally has respect as an artist (even enough to perform on MTV and award shows) and i think that by releasing WUA as a single, it will just be two steps back in that aspect.

well HR doesn't have her best interests at heart when it comes to be taken seriously, which is why we all want her off that label.
I still think because its a 3rd single and it probably won't even be pushed or promoted it won't have an impact because very few people will know its been released I think.
I think she'll do things with Disney well after 2010 though. She has built a strong relationship with that company, being with a different record label doesn't mean you can't work for Disney. Ashley Tisdale is with Warner Music for example.

I meant, that they won't stop focusing on her if shes still at disney. Hilary is no long with disney and now HR doesn't really care to have much of anything to do with her.
I still think that she might end up on a lable in nashville. just a feeling I have that thats where shes headed.

she'll do SYA, 7 things, maybe simple song or FOTW but shes not going to do songs like BOTO or Goodbye which is what a lot of us want to hear.

I pretty sad about no goodbye, i just really wanna hear likle an acoustic performance of that or something. I hope on this new album there is a song like I miss you were she plays the guitar herself on the tour.

if a dude's hair is long enough to be in a pony tail, that's a bad sign. he's such a REBEL, miley. RUN

I think that song is awesome and it has a great point. its so important that every one in every age start acting about the global warming and all that. and this is a way to make the younger crowd more interested in helping out and try to make a change in this world. its awesome that it should be realesed as a single. "all she need is a little attention" and miley makes that happen:57:

Wake Up America isn’t a bad song IMO, but I don’t give a rip about singles – it’s all so Dick Clark. Singles are (and always have been) just a way to get people interested in buying an album: “Oh, that song’s cool – wonder what the other stuff on that album is like.” Am I wrong, or have Miley’s albums all gone like super platinum? She doesn’t need any help selling her music, but Hollywood/Disney) are determined to wring the last nickle out of HM/Miley before the door closes. Flute’s got it pretty much right – she really just needs to fulfill her contract obligations, and move forward. Like we’ve talked about before, Miley’s best move is going to be getting into a position where she owns all the rights to what she does music-wise – something she doesn’t enjoy with her current deal through Hollywood .

yeah a long time ago, in like October. shes sold at least 1.5 million in the us if they count the special edition sales.

That's what I thought.
As far as the up-coming tour, it will most likely support Breakout, the HM movie soundtrack and whatever album Miley releases before then. Some of the stuff she did on BOBW would get dropped from the show . . .

That's weird.
Out of all the songs on Breakout, Wake Up America is the song that I would least expect them to release as a single.

Am I correct in assuming that at least 20 songs are needed for a full concert?

nah, it will be to support her new album, like the JB's did with Burning Up.
wow i missed that mark haha cool
yeah, it happened a while ago. thats why the special edition was calling platinum edition, in theroy it was inteneded to celebrate her going platinum

I like that song alot. But that is a rather sucky choice of single. The others are much better choices...
gah!

Uh, yeah . . . I guess I didn't mean support in reference to Breakout, just that there would be more emphasis on the later stuff, and less on the HM songs. It will definitely be the "(insert new album name here) Tour."

02-02-2009, 07:17 PM
because it's not the type of song we want miley associated with. we want more "the climb" or "goodbye". not..wake up america. it's too teeny bopper. too Hannah Montana.

I need to add that I don't want polar bears and penguins drowning so before the eventual flood, I would like them all to sprout wings and be able to fly for indeterminable amounts of time. Would also like to add before someone thinks I don't believe in global warming that my comment was a Waterworld reference and was said to be sarcastic, something I'm not comfortable at being.

you basically just meant that you hope all the penguins and polar bears die
no taking it back now
miley would be disappointed

the problem with your logic is that she has met you and didn't immediately be like "heeey let's head back to my place" so you've had your chance
but since i have not met her there is still the distinct possibility of something like that happening
