I know what you mean AdamJ...it took me a few listens before I could get into the song. Her voice on the cd sounds so pure and gorgeous, you really don't buy the song as being somewhat of a character song. When she sang on Rosie's show, her voice had more of a childlike quality to it that fit the song a little better. But I'll be honest, she could sing the ingredients in my cereal and I'd stand up and cheer.
"I hope you're all happy, keeping Alan off the team. Couldn't you, for once, open your minds and hearts and hear something that he couldn't see? I, for one, am glad that Alan is blind, so he can't see what, I am so sad to say, you can't hear." -Jerri Blank
