Idgi, is it not possible to like an artist but think that one of her songs sucks?

For me it's not an impossible thing but seems that some can't handle criticism and once you bash an artiste's song = you're dead meat

Most artistes I support , there're bound to be songs that I do not like in their discography

And the part I cannot accept is if the song's really bad , some still insist it's good no matter what :x

I don't understand. Did you consider those people might... actually enjoy those songs? Just because you don't like something doesn't mean no one else can? For someone else that "bad song" is a good song, you can't really argue about that It's someone else's taste in music, there's nothing for you to "accept" about that?

"Good" or "bad" is completely subjective, and among so many people it's bound to have very diverging opinions. Sometimes one may think a song is total garbage and someone else honestly think it's amazing (and they may just as well be puzzled by the fact that some people are still insisting the song is bad no matter what). We just have to accept that different opinions do happen, even on the most extreme cases.

Opinions are just that, opinions. They're not facts... Just because one may think a song is the best or worst song in the world, it doesn't really make it the best or worst song in the world.

At that moment, I like to remember myself to listen to a song with my heart and not only with my head. Because I know that I can be extremely picky sometime. It's not a disaster if the melody is similar to another one because the singer or the musician has his/her own personnality and his/her way of singing/playing is different from the other. It's why the song can have another color!

This is so true. Sometimes some people seem to hate on the song before even listening to it, and you if go listen a song with such feelings chances are you are going to dislike it no matter what, because it's like you're listening to it with the sole intention of finding flaws...

^ its like the good stuff diverses always an ok and the bad stuff is sooo bad, it can go for war itself. thats how people talk about ayu, i think and it is so ridicolous

[hayasaki]

I didn't like what I heard from the preview at first. But after some listens, i kinda learned to appreciate it. I think that particular part on the chorus is genius, making a connection/throwback to some of Summer Diary's melody too. I'm going to love this song probably but not as much as her previous releases this year

Yes so do I. It's easily listenable at the first time... But now I really love the chorus, the melody reminded me " Last Christmas"

[chocopockymaster]

I'm too distracted by the fact that I hear Wham!'s Last Christmas creeping in through the instrumentation in the beginning to focus on anything else.

I am so sick of her work with TK and Nakano. Ayu sure knows how to beat a dead horse.

[maxikot]

After giving this preview few listenings i confirm what i said earlier. I like the song. It's light, airy, would be nice if she performed it on tv.

[indigochild]

I don't hate it. I don't like it. It's pleasant enough for me to enjoy during the holidays. What's irritating to me though is that it's coming out sooo late into the season that you're not really given enough time to appreciate it.

^ I agree, picking on others opinions is a problem. Some people like it, some people don't... I always find it so awkward when someone goes like "how could you say it's bad, it's amazing" or vice-versa (and then it becomes a pointless argument about who's opinion is "right"), do they really expect to convert the person into liking/disliking it?

I know , it's a never ending vicious cycle :x

2 wrongs don't make a right

[njanjayrp]

I don't really think the song is to my liking, but then again Close to you is among my least fave songs~ I don't like the Christmasy feel to it.
