Damn, the dubbing on that Ben E. King video is worse than a Time Life Malt Shop Memories compilation infomercial...
I'm not defending him, but since the guy is catching flak here for covering songs, I'd like to point out that Blondie's "The Tide Is High" was a cover too - and the original was sung by a guy. The Tide Is High
This song makes me want to blow out my ear drums (along with 98% of the garbage mtv plays claiming to be music).
The song is pretty good and Kingston has better songs on his album thant that. You guys need to chill, the main problem is the song is like every other song that gets radio airplay- constantly overplayed.
I feel so lucky that my English works not well enough to listen clearly as you guys said it is an awful song.....
If you're going to go that route Nancy, I'm just gonna go ahead and pencil you into the 12-17 female demographic for the remainder of your stay here. [/DrCox]
A song sucks no matter how many times its played. If I heard a crappy song the first time, its going to continue to be crappy, whether I hear it once or 100 times. Also, I have heard his album and believe me, Beautiful Girls is the "high-point" of the album. That being said, his album is a turd.
The first time I heard this song, I was thinking are you serious? Terrible singing and even worse lyrics talking about being suicidal.
Are u sure you've heard his album? I aint saying its the greatest thing out there but Beautiful girls aint the highpoint. "colors" is a better track. Not everyones gonna like the same sh*t, i get that, but some of y'all are actiing like this is the worst sh*t to ever hit the radio. Theres worse songs out there everyday. What the f*ck is "ay baybay". How the f*ck is that a song? Yet you're ragging on beautiful girls. whatever dude, to each his own.
