Slezak's Review

Is this section just to post what critics have to say about the single? If not, then I just want to say that this song makes me happy, and not just because Kris is singing it, even though I guess it's some of the techniques that Kris uses that make it so infectious. I can't stop smiling when I hear this song, there is just something about it that is so joyous. It reminds me of those performances during AI when Kris would just be so happy and playfull.

ETA: I agree with Taks, there are parts of this song that remind me of several songs from BNS. I think that Jive released a song that reflects the singer that Kris is and wants to be. This may be one of the few times that that has ever happened for an AI winner.

So I'm at work and haven't been able to listen to the single yet (grr . . .), but according to KrisAllenOfficial.com it's available on iTunes today as well. I can't get on the iTunes site either, because I don't have iTunes on my work computer, so can anyone confirm if it's available for purchase? Can anyone who has the Pass confirm whether you got it automatically?

So happy about the positive response from the media so far!

I think it's for both critics and for us...

I've listened to it a couple of times and I still need to listen to it more before I can clarify/comment on it. I mean, I like it and I think its catchy and will do well -- but if I'm honest with myself, if this was the first time I heard it on the radio and didn't know it was Kris - I might change the station. But I think the more I hear it, the more I will like it. Some of my favorite songs I didnt like the first few go-rounds but they've grown on me more and more and especially after hearing them live? LOVE THEM NOW.

I think right now, I feel my biggest problem with it is that It sounds like Kris gets drowned out by the music in places. But as I said, I think the more I listen to it/hear it, the more I'll like it. I'd love to hear this acoustically, personally.

I've said this in other places, but I feel like posting it again: I really, really love this song for a first single. Kris sounds great and it's a good pop song that should get radio play. There will be other songs where he can do different things musically.
