I wouldn't really know.
I'm just offering an explanation as to why
SBS may have been getting early votes, even though it's a great song. Normally, I would have voted a song like that off straight away without even thinking about it.
With that one exception, when it comes to LB, SN, and CM, I don't really like a song as much as if they didn't write it. It's a mental thing, but it's there. I would say that SBS is the only exception.
Try for the Sun, I am Waiting, Love Minus Zero/No Limit, Blue Letter, Seven Wonders, Reconsider Me -- not to mention the dreadful
Talk To Me and all of Lindsey's Rolling Stones covers. . . I just can't feel the same way about them, whether they're good songs or not.
