day 16 - a song that you used to love but now hate

i really can't stand this song. it's not even that i loved it before. i mean, lyrically it's pretty weak sauce. but true to form, alicia makes it sound like it was written a long time ago. that sense that it's familiar, that's what i liked about the song.

but every single female singer on guam covers this damn song. yes yes. we all know you're working up to the slide at the end. yes, we know you can do runs. sort of. mostly. but girl, you ain't alicia keys. don't be trying to be alicia keys. it's just not gonna work out for you.

and yes, after hearing the song a million times, its charm kind of wears off, and it becomes gradually easier to study it and be critical of its deficiencies.

shame on you all. now go sit in the corner. and think about what you did.
