I first noticed this song quite a while ago after having the displeasure of seeing the absolutely boring and "funny" video. I am surprised to hear that it should be charting Top 5 of maybe even Top 3 this week. And I don't understand why - am I really alone in thinking there is nothing special about it? AT ALL?  |

He's got a really phlegmy voice and it's extremely passe to have Samaire Armstrong in a music video. What she's wearing is so last season, lovely as it is. She's the only reason to watch the video. The song's alright, but I've heard it stupid amounts before when it was on European release. I don't like the idea that Daniel could sing this song to someone. Surely it would only provoke answers such as 'Yes, I did have a bad day, you fucking dick-nosed, blatantly balding twat.'

I hate his stupid hats. He really cannot carry off the look. He either: - doesn't know this and think he looks great or;
- is bald.

This was playing on the radio in my cafe earlier in the week and a few people were tapping their feet as they ate their delicious and nutricious lunches. That alone makes him a cunt.

Aww I love it. The TOTP performance was awful though, purely because he said "You had a badnday" and it made me angry.

I'm afraid to say that I rather like it. I find the video heart-warming, and the boy in it is kinda cute (although I loathe Samaire "stupid name" Armstrong); of course Daniel himself is not. There's no accounting for taste because I hate James Blunt but think this is great. It's not my usual sort of thing but has captured my heart or brain or something in its clutches.

It's growing on me now, which is a surprise. When I first heard it, I hated it and wanted to kick the TV. But it's not that bad anymore, but it's getting a bit old now I thought. Saw it first on music channels ages ago.
Video is crap though.

The video is keeping Samaire Armstrong in work, that's the only good thing about it. Horrifically bland otherwise.

I know it's bland, but it's incredibly catchy and sing-a-long-able and I've been singing along and swaying without meaning to. It feels as if it should be on the sound-track to some film with thirty-somethings over-coming adversity. This would be the music playing over the section where a couple are doing up their run-down house and they have a plumbing accident and all the water goes all over the place and the man takes his vest off to plug it.

I think the song is, alright. Once again good if you like stuff that isn't too emotionally charged (not even Christ knows what that means) .
I don't like Mr Powter though, he's pretty fucking awful. His stupid hats etc, the song is ok, but I actually prefer James Blunt.

It is better than James Blunt's fucking piss appalling You're Beautiful by miles. Daniel Powter has a nice voice, which is more can be said for that fuckwit. It's a nice song - nothing totally special, didn't really deserve its position but it's just... Nice, harmless. And the fact that Samaire Armstrong is in the video does help me support it. She's ace.

I hate this but like James Blunt. Samaire armstrong makes it all worthwhile though. Watch the video on mute...

I keep watching, if only for the lovely Miss Armstrong. If it's on radio, however, I throw a fit till someone changes the station.

He is a buffoon, and it will be a bad day for the whole world when he eventually takes his fucking stupid hat off. I've never seen a picture of him not wearing it, so I can only imagine what a rank state his hair must be in.
I also find the video far too self-consciously cute to not want to put my fist through the screen whenever it comes on.
I can't, however, decide which is the biggest twat out of him and Blunt, and I think they should be made to fight for the title armed only with rusting antique surgical instruments.
