Well, REGARDLESS what the facts are, Amy is up to something and I'm excited to find out what it is. I think what excites me most is that Amy's creativity knows no bounds and this time around, there isn't anything holding her back. Having said that, I do sincerely hope that this is the year we finally hear something significant about an album of sorts. Can someone remind me why Amy cannot release Your Love herself, she has a studio version recorded as evident by this clip, so what could be stopping her from releasing it? Maybe L&L have some rights to the song and she can't release it before it's aired, but I don't really kniow

Maybe L&L have some rights to the song and she can't release it before it's aired, but I don't really know Unless Your Love was written for Legends & Lyrics (which isn't the case), they don't have the rights to the song, they would only have a licensing deal (the right to have the song aired on TV). I also don't think that TV shows (again unless the song was written for the show) can withhold artists from performing or releasing the song(s) they've performed on set, otherwise Amy wouldn't have included Your Love as the other option on that "choose which unreleased songs you want us to perform...something something..." poll during the last leg of the Ev Tour. I think it has more to do with Amy not actually having ownership of the song (until much recently anyway). We don't really know the contract Amy had with Wind Up, but anyway some record labels have draconian contracts in which any songs (demos and masters) are owned by them and also prevents the artist from re-recording the song if they are no longer under that label. There is usually an expiration date though but the timeline varies depending on the contract.

I'm fairly sure it's me being overly optimistic, but I really want to see Your Love on her first solo record (whatever that may be). That song just hits me on so many levels, really reeeeeally want to hear a (home) studio version of that.

I do think it's BS that artists' (whilst under a record label) don't actually have any rights to their own material. I can understand why Amy wanted out because that type of restriction must feel suffocating at times. I know why labels' do it, doesn't mean I have to like it though.

I'm not sure there is any real reasons she hasn't played/ posted. In the previous tour their was a poll she made to vote for either YL or IYDM to be played. Maybe she just isn't attached to the song much?

I've just lost hope on L&L airing the song lol. They just say "THEY'RE BACK" every year and then nothing.. I hope it comes from Amy directly now that she owns it. I think she has a demo in her laptop which she recorded with Tim McCord, cause he has the song too! *posts merged. Please refrain from double posting. Use the EDIT button.*I'm not sure there is any real reasons she hasn't played/ posted. In the previous tour their was a poll she made to vote for either YL or IYDM to be played. Maybe she just isn't attached to the song much? And people voted for IYDM instead of YL??

I came across this a few days ago. I posted it on my tumblr back in April '13 and I remember feeling SO hopeful that we were finally going to hear it. Oh well...

Yeah, there was a few other things in the vote thing, like the style of dress with the flags and something else I can't remember

Also, that guy that I spoke to was psychotic, as he told me I ruined his life for posting that, and that I should never go to Memphis, because he will find me and bring harm or something.

Not condoning his threats at all, but wasn't he at the end of his tether after having been harassed by EvFans? I don't think it's fair to call him 'psychotic' when he was driven to that reaction.

That is quite a diagnosis for someone to whom you've only spoken to briefly. While threatening you was probably not the best reaction, try to keep in mind where he's coming from. It's his fault for disclosing the information, but if he was not at liberty to discuss it, then posting that screenshot with his name could have gotten him into a LOT of trouble. If that's the case, if he was terminated and/or faced legal repercussions, then a "diagnosis" as psychotic is a bit extreme...surely you can understand someone's aggression if that person's life is affected pretty much in its entirety by one screenshot.

Yeah, I do apologize. But it was unsettling considering I was only 17 when this happened. All in all, I shouldn't have shared the screenshot. I got too excited and acted impulsively.
