Some examples:

Name / Reason for fail

Curtain Call - Had potential to be as awesome as jewel, but too repetitive
Microphone - Cool chorus and bridge, but what was she mumbling/murmuring about during the verses? :|
Don't Look Back - She really missed this big chance as she made it TOO repetitive
Meaning of Love - Nice title but sounds like a filler track
Blossom - Awesome chorus but verses = fail, and abit too repetitive.
It is the repetition that really makes Don't Look Back for me. But the same can be said for the new album, imo. It seems to communicate sadness and emptiness in a way...
