The moderate Success that LMG had in Canada and some other Countries (Austria is still stanning 7 Months after release) proves that people are here for her Ballads.

But without radio support, releasing the song as a single is useless.
Calling it "moderate success" is also very generous. When you compare it to the success she had with I'm With You, When You're Gone and Keep Holding On - LMG is virtually unknown. The biggest music markets never even picked the song up.
Also, GYWYL is not a conventional ballad (I don't even consider it a ballad), and it's not radio friendly in any shape or form. Like you said, it is useless arguing whether or not radio will support it - but at the end of the day, without radio support a single has NO chance (i.e Rock n Roll).
Finally, let's say GYWYL gets released early Summer/late Spring - it's being released at perhaps the worst time of year for this kind of song. Releasing GYWYL in summer, is comparable to releasing SOS in Winter, it just seems wrong.
Avril fans say "the GP will see a different side of her after the fun/immaturity of HK" - didn't we say the same thing about LMG after HTNGU and RnR!?
