I just saw the commercial for that new movie Bandslam and heard a familiar song in the background. So I looked up the soundtrack on iTunes, and saw that JRB's song "Someone to Fall Back On" from his solo album Wearing Someone Else's Clothes is featured on that soundtrack. It's a bad pop version, but I'm sure he's getting some great royalties from it.

I just found the movie version on the forbidden site. Yeah, the original is MUCH better.

Just judging it based on the 30-second clip on iTunes, it doesn't sound TOO terrible... does it change into a cheesy drumbeat/pop vocal kind of thing?

If you just search for "Someone to Fall Back On" it's got the whole track from the movie.

It left a bad taste in my mouth. I couldn't stand how the singer kept pronouncing (or NOT pronouncing) her words, and just dropping things off.

Ah, there it is. Yep, terrible.

What's wrong with it? Sure, JRB's version is better, as are the other classically trained vocalists I've heard, but I see no problems with the song.

What's wrong with it?

I, for one, really dislike the vocals.
