I would still be disappointed because I think Shampoo is dull. I'm not saying "don't do ballads" cuz Because of You was amazing, but I just expected a better song. The fact that the rest of the album is filled with dull, unmemorable ballads mostly and a few other forgettable tracks makes it a total waste. And AS's past two singles both had a ballad on them so it's not like it's exactly new for them and showing "versatility" since we've already seen it multiple times.

From what I've noticed, the girl singing at :20 is clearly either a different girl or it was just rerecorded. There's also no rain in the new version. :55 is an obvious difference too.
