It’s fine. I’m not rating it, but it’s fine. Nowhere near their worst single, they have many songs worse than this. It’s fine, really.
I associate this song with "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eiffel 65 in a spiritual manner. That song is probably technically better, but I can't say no to this.
EDIT: Just found out Eiffel 65 actually remixed this lol, their remix is pretty good.
Very good song, WAAAAY better than Vertigo, this should've been the lead single.
Way better than the musical version (or any song from that musical lol). Just sounds like a good late 2000s U2 song, which isn't amazing, but certainly isn't bad.
The music video for this is really fun, apparently it was voted the third worst music video of all time by MTV in 1999...I disagree.
As for the song itself, it's also really fun and charming, but I can't rate it too high because this would not be good at all without Michael Jackson's feature.
one of the most nostalgic songs ever for me, so there's no way I can rate this fairly
This would've been better if Kanye actually had a guest verse instead of just saying "yeah, uh". Billie Jean is impossible to improve upon, but a verse would've at least made this version stand out more.
This is gonna sound insane to most people: but this is actually the most nostalgic Fleetwood Mac song to me, I vividly remember hearing this on the radio as a kid and thinking it sounded awesome. For this personal reason: It's still one of my favorite songs by them.
Obligatory Radiohead Joke
I actually prefer this song, despite Radiohead being one of my favorite groups ever (OK Computer is my personal favorite album).
Just really great lyrics especially. The emotion in Scott Weiland's voice adds an extra layer of power to them. Such a shame that this group is often regarded as "worse Pearl Jam", I think this song shows that said phrase is certainly false.
Even when I was a kid who had no idea what these lyrics were even about I hated this. It's so fucking annoying.
literally night and day when compared to the original, this is so much better
