He definitely doesn't have the right voice for this song.

This track just does not belong on this album.

There's so much overlapping.

So many people writing their own songs, recording them, other people having hits with them...

It's exhausting.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it. Excited

It is over.

I didn't enjoy any of that. But it was competently made ~~Daytime Radio 2 filler track~~ I guess, so
