HOT OR NOT: ONE CHANCE
Friday, February 22, 2008

One Chance is a group of guys I’ve been rooting for ever since I got to see them perform live. They are a talented group of guys with great voices and lots of stage presence, but for some reason, they never seem to be able to jump off with the right single. First, the trendy snap record, “Look At Her,” featuring D4L’s Fabo two summers ago, then “My Word,” which was a great mid-tempo joint that really showed off the quartet’s vocal ability (I loved it) and now Usher reintroduces his group with “U Can’t (Resist It).”
In all honesty, I’m not particularly feeling this song. It’s just not as good as some of the other material that the group has recorded for the yet-to-be-released debut album, Private. One Chance was on my radar for a long time, and they had a spot that they could have filled as far as boy groups, but why this song? So what do you think, is it hot or not?
Make sure you go check out One Chance on MySpace and let them know CL sent you!

Aiight!!! Nothing all that though.
I loved ‘Look At Her’. It seemed like Chicago was the only city that gave it love cuz they played it alot her there (I’m not in Chicago right now, I’m downstate for university) but it wasn’t that successful nationally.

I actually do like the song so I guess I would rate it as Hot.
However, to make it, you have to be memorable and have substance and that is what they, and waaay to many artists, are missing.
And they wonder why the can’t even break one hit….

Brian thanks for posting the new music but is it to much trouble to use the type of player found here -> http://concreteloop.com/2007/10/the-dream-r-kelly ?
Most of us are at work and can not access “storage sites” due to our company firewalls .As a guy I only visit the site to listen to and comment on the new music. Not the pictures and other stuff. It seems like most of the new music is loaded on these storage sites and this has caused me to stop checking the site daily. Thank in advance

Only half of the song loaded so from what I heard I guess it’s an ok dance song. I do like them though. “So Emotional” should’ve been a smash! I’ll buy the album one whenever it comes out.

I like the song. I think that the men from One Chance are very talented. It’s been a long time coming it’s time for them to shine. Yes, everybody loves their slow songs, but this song shows that they can do it all. So to all yall HATERS, keep hating. Yall will see that they will be on top. Go visit them on Myspace and listen to their other songs. Their voices will blow your mind. Anyway, All I got to say is I can’t wait to buy their album.
P.S. You can hate if you want to, BUT YOU WASTING YOUR TIME!!!!

It sounds like most of the other garbage on the radio. I don’t know about One Chance, so it’s not like I’m hating on them personally, but R&B and Hip-Hop as a whole needs to do better. Why is sqeeaaling over a synthetic beat considered hot now?

I love “One Chance”, I really do hope that they get the shine that they deserve. We love them here in Chicago. I like it, I think that Michael and Courtney are the best singers of the group though.

One Chance is bunch of talent singers. song …ok. Not HOT. This song is nothing special, deffinitely not single worthy,album filler at best, I am sure they will try to sell this with a popular rapper attached and a glossy video for the girl, I could see this on 106 & park, but we all know that plays on that show doesn’t mean you hot, it just means a whole bunch of teenage girl (or record company exec) put it there just because they fans. Hopefully these boys will learn to stop trying to chase trends, or at least if you do, do it hot.

This song is terrible. The beat is about 2 years ago and the lyrics are so cliche that it might as well be a rap song. Are they even old enough to sip Patrone? I’m just sayin’. Oh well. They’ll sell a few thousand ringtones, appear on 106 & Park, and be back to their day jobs unless they come a little more creative than this. Nice voices though.

I LOVED the ‘Look At Her Rmx’ for one reason…One Chance wasn’t on it. Trey, Bobby V and Lloyd outshined them on their own record and they know it.
Meanwhile, Brian why do you post bad music that YOU don’t even like?
Tell you what, check out Brea and Deep Rooted on MySpace. You’ll hate them I swear.
Then maybe you’ll give an established good group with good music some shine

I’ve got their CD and its ok, this song is kind of hott for whats out right now, it should do good. They do have better music, I think their slower songs are better. I like the guys myself. I think they have talent and could go somewhere.

I am not a spokesperson for them by any means, but I will relay you guys opinions to them. They ask that I tell you all thank you for your support in advance, and they have new music coming soon.

One Chance is shitting on every group that is out, trying to come out, or has a show on MTV, lol. I knew the song was a hit from the moment I heard it. It’s unfortunate it got leaked a while back but if you you tube it and check out the WORLD’s comments, it’s clearly a hit. So I guess that was a good thing. The haters that comment on Concrete Loop only serve to make One Chance more popular, so keep it coming! This is their year so get ready, U Can’t (resist it is NOT a part of the title) is hard and will most definitely appeal to more than just the R&B/Hip Hop fans (otherwise known as those who don’t buy albums but download for free)…they don’t even have an album out but have a huge fanbase overseas! This is One Chance’s year, like it or not!

This song is soo hoT!!! everything about it is hot, from the beginning all the way to the end!! Yes it would,nt hurt for them to have had a rapper on the track but One Chance can make a whole bunch of hits alone!! Yall keep watching out for them cuz they are about to blow up foreel.

First of all to all you haters out there, One Chance is one the hottest and real tone groups that the music industry has been missing for yrs! You may not like U Can’t, but you was shakin your tail feather to “Look At Her”, and grooving to “So Emotional” which means you like what they have produced so far. It is very rare that you find a artist album completely enjoyable there will always be that one or two songs that you are not going to like, but know that U Can’t is a club banger and it a guaranteed banger for this summer. You wanna hate on this song wait til the album comes out I bet you’ll buy it and if you don’t buy it. One Chance may not be a household name here in the states yet but they are huge overseas. Thats a shame that we cant support our own this group has been grinding hard to make sure that come out with an album that is worth listening to by all races and cultures. One Chance I want you to know that I am personally proud of you. I want you to also know that I am and will always be one of your many faithful fans! I love all of ya’ll! I hope that you all go out and really see what One Chance is really about.
One Love, One Life, One Chance!!

it is so easy to say someone is huge overseas.
number one just becuz someone says they don’t like a song does not mean they are “hatas”

One Chance is a cool R&B group but the thing is i only heard one of their songs….i dont remember the name thats how long ago it was since anybody that i know heard from them…..i mean i would like to hear from them soon cuz they are sexi and can sing but i guess we all will have to see what happens with that.
