    I’m surprised “Up to the Mountain” didn’t do better. Did they sell the recording of the show, or did Kelly go to the studio for this track?

    I just heard What I Need playing in the NBA preshow. I think it should do well in rock radio.

    Anyone know if there is anywhere we can listen to all or parts of Paris’s album?
