There are people here who aren't keen on having LA the featured song on TV. It's been said on the QVC thread and the Huckabee thread that he should do a different song. If he had read these comments, and still chooses LA, then the opinions regarding a song change on this forum doesn't matter. The LA song may still be played no matter how people groan about it here. So if anyone is groaning about seeing LA, then my recent paraphrase is applicable.
It's not going to hurt Meat any if any of us here don't watch the show. We've all got the album anyway or in some cases gave it a chance.

But I'm willing to reconsider my opinion in case album sales will increase significantly because of the Lopez show.  |
I had only the non-die hard people in mind when I posted my thoughts. IMO: If a crackin' performance of Los Angeloser is done, it has the potential of attracting a new fan. Besides the blessing of being put in front of America on a cable TV channel is huge. Usually the studio audience gets to go home with a copy of the musical guest's new cd anyway....so they will get to have the HCTB experience. If the audience has a great time at the performance, then they will likely check out the CD. The potential is there. If his plan is to do "Los Angeloser" all TV performances then so be it. I think the potential is totally there.
