Thanks for sharing. I think I will buy 1R’s and Blake’s CD together.

Anyway, back to 1R - theirs is only 7.99 on iTunes, and it comes with bonus live performance videos!

“He Said She Said” = major guilty pleasure of mine. :)

Jordin’s should be on there…you may have to search for it though. It doesn’t look like they put her on the front page.

Under new releases at I-tunes, if you click on the “Pop” tab, then you will see Jordin’s CD. That that the way you see BA on I-tunes, by clicking on the “pop” tab.

His performance on the game show was great, wow he gave me chills. And their Umbrella? I like it much better than Rhianna’s…..

Thank you so much for this post! And yes everyone, go buy 1R’s Dreaming Out Loud!!!!

Thanks, star, for all this info. Talk about work ethic. No wonder Ryan and Blake worked well together. I have to say I prefer Blake’s voice to Ryan’s but “Apologize” is an amazing song that really shows it off. If they allow it, I bet it’ll become an AI staple soon.

I love 1R, and LUB Ryan Tedder.

Bought the album right at midnight last night (or is it this morning?) and loved it rught away. Stop and Stare is one of my personal faves!

Star: I’m with you there. I was embarssed to say I actually bought the album. It sorta reminds me of Britney pre-meltdown.

I would absolutely reccommend buying the CD. Every song gave me the chills. You can really just FEEL the emotion Ryan is putting into it.

I got lucky enough to be invited to a private taping of The Sauce on FUSE next week when 1R is going to be on (a 35 person audience) and UGH I CAN’T WAIT. I’ve met them on numerous occasions and they are SO down to earth and sweet. They totally deserve success.

I love Stop and Stare, I think it’s an excellent choice for a second single.

They have a snippet of Stop and Stare on there. It’ll give you an idea , maybe help determine if you like it or not. I personally think it’s pretty different than Apologize, but I love it just the same. That song, live??? TOTALLY KILLS.

Thank you Bouffe! I love it!

greeneyesxo, wow!! I’m so jealous! You’ll have to swing back by here & tell us about it. I hope Blake goes on The Sauce when he’s doing his promotion too. Is Jared Cotter still the host?

Y’all should be able to play the full “Stop & Stare” up there…if it’s not working let me know.

ld, I don’t think Ryan wrote “Umbrella” but someone correct me if I’m wrong.

Don’t care for track 2 (Mercy) so I skipped it. That’s allowed, right? :D

Yeah, I think it’s ok to do that. :D

I might be doing the download, tonite. :-) What surprises me, is after the discussions we;ve had about Tedder and 1R that we’d need to give references as to his “sound”! LOL.

so. Blake put up a banner on his site about getting Break Anotha as a ringtone by texting to a number…has anyone tried this? Did it work for you? Because I just did and it said there was an error and to try later…is it just me?

That’s one thing I’ve noticed about Ryan’s music…I mean, some producers have a really recognizable, signature sound. Timbaland has his punchy beats, and Stargate have their recycled beats, and Butch Walker has this glam pop/rock sound, Mark Ronson is funky, old-school soul. But none of Ryan’s compositions sound totally alike. I never would’ve guessed “Love Like This” was something he did because it’s so reggae-sounding. He’s really versatile! What a good person to match up with Blake and his mixtape concept. :)

Star,

That’s actually why I asked what I did, heh. I wasn’t sure if the 1R album was totally eclectic or not. I might go pick up the CD tomorrow while out shopping since you guys are giving it rave reviews :-).

I like their Umbrella better too. :)

OK, just downloaded, and since I had previously downloaded Apologize, I got to complete the album for only $7. Just an FYI for anyone who may have already downloaded that song. :)
