if those of us who think Paradise is a shitty song (cause lyrically and musically, it is, even if you like it... it's still a bad song) want to have a real song win, then we have to get rid of paradise ASAP
oh... Paradise is a bad song? yeah, cause you have the right to say which songs are bad and good?
Paradise is a song i rarely listen to, its not my favorite song. but it means alot to me. the first time i heard it i cried for hours, it was finally a song that i could relate to in the way she was talking about it. i felt just like that all the time when i first heard it. i had a dangerous addiction that i was doing to try to cover it up... but somehow that song connected to me in a way that made me realize i needed to stop. i got better and rarely let myself get depressed thanks mainly to that song. those "shitty" lyrics and music you're talking about helped save my life.
you may like songs that i dont like too, but i'd never call them bad or shitty. have some respect for Vanessa atleast, this board is about her.
