I don't usually like the music of the American Idol contestants, save Kelly Clarkson (which is only because "Since You've Been Gone" was Molly and Mariah's favorite song and we would have a blast dancing and singing to the song on numerous occasions after hours at the Sandlot...it became more of a memory I truly enjoyed rather than a song I truly enjoyed but whatever...ok, I admit, I kind of like her new single "I Do Not Hook Up" for some reason that is beyond my grasp or control).
I also don't usually like the sound of this kind of music. You know, that sort of cry baby rock music that kind of sounds like Scott Stapp from Creed (despise that band, although, I will admit that at one time in my life at a very young age, I did...please do not blame foolish youth, ok). But for some strange reason, and maybe it is because I heard him do this song acoustic on Bob and Tom the other morning on my way to work, I really like this song. I think it maybe the lyrics more than the way it actually sounds but I like it. I never saw him on Idol cause I don't watch the show, especially after they are done with auditions (I only like to see the dreadful performances) but when I heard him on Bob and Tom, I enjoyed it.
Also, a little tidbit regarding this video: on Bob and Tom, he told us that in order to do this video he had to sing the song backwards as he was walking forward. Pretty cool, too, if you ask me.
Also of note: he was a genuinely funny person on the air as well.
