Is it just me or does she sing REALLY badly in this song? She sounds so whiny.. half the Australian idol contestants would be better than her in this song!

These are the lyrics

Story of my life
Searching for the right
But it keeps avoiding me
Sorrow in my soul
cause it seems that wrong
really loves my company

Hes more than a man
and this is more than love
the reason that the sky is blue
the clouds are rolling in
because I'm gone again
and to him I just can't be true

and I know that he knows I'm unfaithful
and it kills him inside
to know that I am happy with some other guy
I can see him dying

I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
Everytime I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be...
a murderer

I feel it in the air
as I'm doing my hair
preparing for another day
A kiss up on my cheek
He's here reluctantly
as if I'm gonna be out late
I say I won't be long
Just hanging with the girls
A lie I didn't have to tell
Because we both know
where I'm about to go
and we know it very well

cause I know that he knows I'm unfaithful
and it kills him inside
to know that I am happy with some other guy
I can see him dying

I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
Everytime I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be...
a murderer

our love
His trust
I might as well take a gun and put it to his head
Get it over with
I don't wanna do this
Anymore (anymore)

I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
Everytime I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be...
a murderer (a murderer)

No no no no

Yeah yeah yeah

I actually really like this song!!! The murderer line is a bit wacko.gif , but the rest is okay. I agree she doesn't have the strongest voice though, it's a bit ordinary. I downloaded the dance version where the vocals sound a bit different.

OMG I absolutely HATE this song, I can't even express how much it irks me!!! Jon loves it, but it is so cringe-able to me that I just want to murder her myself!

She sings terribly, it is whiny, strained, and just plain irritating! Arrggghhh, bring on the singing lessons.

The subject matter is even more annoying because I am one for listening to the words, and sorry, but she hasn't got my sympathy or empathy or anything else! Why be an unfaithful tart and feel bad about it but keep doing it? More importantly if it is "more than love" with her partner she wouldn't be doing this in the first place!!! OMG!! OK it might be all made up but I bet it isn't, and even if it is it annoys the crap out of me, cheating on someone then whining about it, arrggghhhhh, get some responsibility, soul, maturity and self-control dammit!

So yes IT IS WHINEY AND AWFUL AND I CAN NOT STAND IT!!!

Thankgod there seems to be at least one other person on the face of the earth that isn't impressed!!!

Totally agree - it's very whiny. It's a shame because the actual song isn't that bad but no wonder she's calling herself a murderer - she absolutely murdered the song!

She sings from the back of her throat too much, sounds like she's not opening her mouth properly.

I love this song but Steve hates it. he hates it even more when I try singing it.

was listening to this song last night and I also started to think this. it's whiny and the lyrics are pretty blah. especially the murder line, i don't think it needs to be so harsh. I think she's alot more suited to poppy stuff.
alaia
Hell yeah it is whiny and plus it sounds like she just cannot sing, even though she can! dry.gif

i guess with english not being her first language she will be a little poor with her diction.

Katie you are absoloutely right she does sing from the back of her throat, but her main problem is because she doesn't have good diction she slurs her notes, and there is not clear stop between words.

Although i totally dispise the topic, I also think it is a bit of a breath of fresh air, and that she would have the guts to put herself out there for people to judge.

Her other songs are very bouncy where as this one is quite slow. I am not a fan of the film clip -- but i don;t mind the song.

Can't stand this song, can't stand her former song, probaly won't like her next song either. Yet another churned out piece of musical crap by some twit who can't sing.

Ugh! I so agree! I can't stand her either. Even SOS gets on my nerves and to this day I haven't been able to listen to the full song and always turn it off.

Mind you, I love classical music, so that probably doesn't help. tongue.gif biggrin.gif

Yes, OMG I hate this song as well!!!! Never mind the pregnant girl AND the baby as well!! What a turd! True or not, I can't enjoy songs about awful, heartless, immature, irresponsible people doing awful things and not really getting the depth of the error of their ways!! By all means admit to screwing up, but if you are going to admit to it, at least say something remotely mature that demonstrates that you understand the gravity of what you have done, take full responsibility for the consequences, change yourself and behaviour to never do it again, and a big bit of remorse and concern for all concerned wouldn't go astray either!! Dammit!! laugh.gif

(Yes suddenly feeling my 28 years is about 13 years too old to be able to listen to this crap and not want to start lecturing and or strangling the "singer"!)
