the truth about kris allen
May. 5th, 2010 07:50 pmokay, so maybe it's just my opinion.
from the first time i listened to kris allen's cd, 'the truth' was one of my favorite songs. and if i had to choose ONE song from the album to be my absolute favorite, i'd probably say 'the truth.' i just want to be very clear that i LOVE 'the truth' by kris allen. it is AMAZING.
that being said, i love 'the truth' by KRIS ALLEN. not kris allen and some other guy (aka pat monahan from train). i think the record label deciding to re-work the song as a duet is a horrible and horrendous idea. it sounds AWFUL. pat's voice does NOT work well with kris' and when the bridge starts up it is extremely jarring and sounds like some terrible peter brady voice malfunction. there is absolutely NO sound reason to make such a change to what is already an amazing song.
and this leaves me torn. because i want kris to do well, but i don't want THIS song to do well. or more specifically, this VERSION of the song. can people call in to radio stations requesting the original to be played instead? i mean, is that something stations would be ALLOWED to do? if so, i totally think people should do that. i don't WANT to support this version of the song. sorry, but i don't. i feel bad that that would affect kris negatively, but i kinda don't care. it's a BAD SONG in this released single adaption, and i think the record label needs to be shown that they fucked up. i also think that kris needs to stand up for himself and his music. trust and believe in yourself as an artist and in the song you originally did, because it is PERFECT that way.
grr argh this really annoys me way more than it should.
