This is a slightly older single, released in 2009, but today was the first time I heard it. It's exceptionally awful for
two reasons.
1) The lyrics are grade school notebook poetry
2) A middle aged man delivers them
Listen to that, but then imagine someone like Taylor Swift singing it.
Look:
"You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile "
That's not something that Justin Bieber should sing, and here is a grown man making it to number 31 on the Billboard top 100 with this crap.
Now, if a Disney channel pop star girl were singing this it would be a bad song, but not worth talking about. However, this guy used to hand with Kid Rock, the dirty, grimy Detroit rap-rocker! He's gone soft and kinda country just like his mentor, and it's really pretty sad.
Nah. If it was a Taylor Swift song, she'd be stalking some poor guy and telling him why his girlfriend/fiancee/wife wasn't the one for him and only she was.
ReplyDeleteI like this song and have it as my ringback tone. I don't think love songs have to be complicated. Sometimes telling someone they make you happy is simple. =)
