talk about the new Leona Lewis song "Happy" for a minute?
well it will take less than a minute, because i dont even think the song deserves a full listen.
ok you caught me, i've listened to it a few times, i heard that if you did this, the song becomes some how amazing, beautiful, powerful, moving , ETC.... so i was like well i bet thats probably true!, except after repeated listens, i still find it hard to enjoy.
first of all , its co-written by Ryan Tedder the singer from onerepublic, and the writer of such hits like bleeding love ( another leona lewis song ) halo by beyonce and already gone by kelly clarkson, among many others... but i bring up those three, because lets face it people "Happy" her new song, is basiculy a rip off of all of those other songs!!, same beat , same 'feel' to the song, same piano driven opening verse, followed by the larger than life chorus, followed by the piano and drum driven second verse, etc etc.
its starting to make me feel like Ryan Tedder might be a one trick pony....or maybe hes not, but he knows what makes money?
thats my best guess
at any rate.. the song is just ok, a total let down coming from a leona lewis fan, i just hope her sophomore album "Echo" due out in november doesnt disappoint the way this lead single does.
