After all the criticism I got yesterday for saying I hated the song and the video, I want to say I listened to the song a thousand times and this is my opinion now:
- Stevie sings really great.
- The song is not simple: It’s simply a bad song.
- The last lines “you child, you child” are just horrible.
- The “your hand” few seconds of the video look false and pathetic.
- She looks great.
- Dave Stewart looks as narcissistic as yesterday .
- Secret Love is a cute song, but Cheaper is not. What about (e. g.)Taylor Swift singing this song? What would you think? I love Stevie, but I’m not deaf.
- I hope the rest of the CD has nothing to do with this (though I can’t forget “Everybody loves you” and “Italian Summer” are there to make bleed a little more).
- And yes, I have enough with those little snippets to realize what’s coming next.
