As for "Take My Breath Away"? I loved it. I think it was one of the best ballads of 2004. I think most people disliked it simply because it was Jessica. Haters, if you ask me, but whatever. Jessica didn't change anything on the song, she just gave it her voice, which is quite fabulous, if I do say so myself. There's no reason to dislike this song, in my opinion. I feel if you're a fan of Pop music, this should be up your alley. I just said I don't hate her. She's a very talented singer. Unfortunately, both of these covers blow serious chunks. I'm tired of her ballads, she oversings to a point where I want to gauge my ears out, and neither of these two songs do anything to change my opinion of that. The way she sings "away" in the TMBA chorus sums up pretty much everything I hate about her singing style. It's an unnecessary, and grating, take on the line. Again, let me reiterate. I do like Jessica, most of her upbeat songs have found their way onto mixed CDs. But her ballads never will.

That's the thing - you're judging it by Berlin's standards. You need to consider it a different song. I didn't know Berlin's at first, but I was in love with Jessica's, and when I went back to search for Berlin's, I learned to like hers, simply by understanding it would sound different. You need to just give it a chance, you know? Wow... can't believe you hadn't heard the original... before the remake... that's probablly one of the biggest ballads of all time. Anyways... I thought Jessica's version of TMBA was okay, if unspectacular...
