I had waited for two hours and was SO excited when I heard the opening piano bit. But then by the end I was kind of disappointed. BUT wait! Once I listened to it again I started really hearing all the instruments and thought "this is amazing!!!" Haha I do believe that the second part of this song from the bridge onwards is absolutely stunning! Her voice really shines through then.
When I first heard her voice I was thinking "Auto-tuned, what!". But later in the song it's all Haley, through and through. Not quite as edgy, but that's what I expected-- her label is Interscope after all. I always expected a super radio friendly song for her first single, and that's what we got. I for one am very happy. Just hoping that it becomes a big hit on the radio. I wish I had thought about recording all of the comments (from the few of us left) when they started playing the song. Obviously, there was a lot of "OMG", "It's really her", etc, etc.
