This is... been heard before. Like she has her Fairyland/Glitter-type of songs, the Rule/1LOVE-type of songs, and the No Way To Say/Together When-type of ballads. You were is just another one in that category.


Anyways, I sound s bit harsh maybe. And this is just a LQ-clip, so I will probably change my opinions a little bit when a better quailty one is out. I kind of like the Jewel/Curtain Call-type of ballads anyway, that aren't so dramatic sounding My Heart Will Go On-ish...
And there's still two more songs to look forward to! Yay
I pretty much agree with all of this! I'm sure I'll like it a bit more when I hear it in a bit better quality. I DO like it, but I agree its in the category you mentioned and not really innovative.
