Good Luck, Chuck

Have you heard the song by newcomer Chuck Wicks, "Stealing Cinderella?" Another wedding song. I hope he can match the momentum of his first song.

Check out Heartland and "I Loved Her First." What have they done since? Exactly. With a song as popular as a wedding song, what can you possibly do to follow it up?

That's why I think Wicks/Heartland should have gone for other types of songs and made the wedding song their second or third single. But, then again, when you have a chance to catch lightning in a bottle, you do it. It's a clear path to 15 minutes of fame.

I just wish it wasn't such a double-edged sword for these acts.
