I don't think a prediction topic has been made for this, but if it has go ahead and link me. www1.allaccess.com/sounds/jessange.ramI don't really like it. I think her voice is so boring so covers really do nothing for me at all. I think this could go either way. I'll predict #23. |

I like the way she tackles the song, the big note at the final bridge and all. But DAMN! learn to SING woman!
No doubt she has the range, and great potential, but her actual technique is some of the most atrocious i've ever heard. She sings this entirely through her nose, and she just sounds like she needs a shit.
Could do well in America, cos the original isn't THAT well known, and it's a good song.

I heard a live performance of this and it was not bad at all. However, I dont know what the studio version sounds like.

Better than Take My Breath Away, but she's gonna lose credibility doing music written by/for other artists.
I would have released this after With You and left the album on that note.

#21. This will mark the downfall of Jessica's success as her ABC sitcom won't be picked up.

Listening to the chorus of this song a few times is a great way to give yourself a headache. The verses aren't bad, but I can't stand it when she oversings, such as how she sings the chorus. This better not do better than the original, which gets an A.

Agree with mandyfan about her singing on this song - she sound awful here.
#21 - and that's about 200 places too high.

:o This is worse than I thought it would be. This is as bad as her remake of "Take My Breath Away". It'll go top 20 at least. |

If you listen to Jessica's old stuff and then listen to new stuff (especially TMBA and Angels) it sounds like she was told to "pop" up her voice, if that makes any sense. Her older stuff is much more tolerable, however it sounds very Adult contemporary. Just a thought that her people may be asking her to sing this way.

I just heard it and as I expected, it's nothing compared to the original, or any good song for that matter.

I heard this again last night on the radio and it was even worse the second time. She turned one of the best songs of 1999 into a bunch of moaning and screaming. It's like she's trying to sound as awful as she can. The first minute of the song is tolerable, but the rest is so bad that the song automatically gets an F-.

"Sweetest Sin" was my favorite too. The lyrics were pure cheese and the production sounded dated but it had sort of a nostalgia factor. I liked "With You" too. I hate the two covers though.

Last night at Wango Tango, Jessica said it's her new single beginning in July! Nice performance too.

Jessica should've left this song alone.  Her sitcom (and her husband) for ABC both didn't get picked up. |
