Sucky?

Eh. Sounds an awful lot like Kelly Clarkson singing a Dr. Luke hook. Not nearly as disastrous as I was expecting, but also can't really bring myself to care about it. It's such a meaningless exercise in sounding edgy three years ago. Any thoughts?

(Meanwhile at Offnotesnotes I'm still complaining about the stupid narratives that the cultcha commentaters have spun about "My December" from most viewpoints, since "third album departure" really does a disservice to what she's been doing since Breakaway, which is the one that everyone claims is so accessible. I refuse to believe that these people have listened to the second half of that album! (Even "Behind These Hazel Eyes" or "Because of You"...it's just not the lightest stuff out there.)

Third listen I decided that this is a nice little tune that the arrangement is ruining. I don't know what it is with Luke. The only great stuff he's done since "4ever" has been with Paris Hilton and Vanessa Hudgens. He needs singers with weak voices. Everyone else he slathers in blare. It's irritating. This is Any Good At All, but I just want to tell the chorus to shut up shut up shut up.

I'd generally agree but "Who Knew" was post-4ever and is one of the best things he's done, in my opinion
