He can't quite top Katy Perry as joke release of the year, but this song is actually so bad that I listen to it for the humor of it.
It's a Chris Cornell reject and they're trying to win over Daughtry fans with him while at the same time claiming he's a totally different artist. He's a poor man's Daughtry, an unfortunate addition to the Hinder/Daughtry/Saving Abel world we live in.
His voice is pretty cool, I'm sure he's a nice guy, but this song is so disposable and so forgettable that it really does make me laugh.
I've been reading his post a pmb and seeing RCA's cheap ploys at making this a illegitimate hit, even how to gift the song is listed on his official site and they're encouraging fans to gift the song to help sales, now THAT is sad.
As far as the song, his vocals are good, too much screamy-I'm-trying-to-be-a-rock-star stuff going on, the lyrics are pathetic and beyond generic, "try to leave the light on when I'm gone, even in the day light, shine on" and overall just embarrassing.
It's to wonder the song only reached #3 on iTunes before dropping like a rock not even a week after it went on there. It's already out of the top 50 and had a negative update on CHR/POP today. Not taking off at any rock formats either.
Major LOL @ American Idol this year. The runner up is top 15 on CHR/POP and hasn't left the top 25 since it was released to iTunes. Obviously the producers picked the wrong one this season. It'll be funny to see how they try to fix this after what they've already gone through with Blake Lewis and Jordin Sparks.
