    Melanie Amaro - Don't Fail Me Now [Debut single proper]



    It's very SHRILL. It reminds me of Try With Me by Nicole Scherzinger. The dubstep bit is just ridiculous.

    It may grow on me, but I suspect it's a song that is trying to be a LOT better than it actually is.

    Annoyingly, it's good. If it was by someone I had any time for, I think I'd be quite excited.

    5 million dollars well-spent.

    I actually quite like it but that RiRi-esque build-up bit is so random and doesn't suit it at all.

    I don't even dislike her, having watched only a handful of The Voice episodes, but I find her voice really unpleasant on the "It's been a LONG ROAD" bits.

    it is about four different songs mashed together, it's very disjointed. Song 1 is the best, the dance build up is ridiculously out of place.

    She was easily the best from The X Factor so I'm pleased that this is good. I really love it after a couple of listens, can't see it smashing though.

    OK is a 5 or a 6, j-dawg. A 7 is good.

    But by Jark's theory of relativism when it comes to rating pop songs it's about a 7 or 8 because of how shit she is by any other standard.

    Seriously though - this is a very good song. The only thing that bothers me about it, like VoR said, she sounds quite shrill on it. And additionally, she sounds rather faceless and budget on an otherwise top of the drawer pop song. I feel like this is what Leona's "Collide" WANTED to be but fell terribly short of.

    But I'll still be a bit surprised if it does anything chart-wise. There really seems to be ZERO hype about her... but who knows, if the ratings this time around are as high as the expectations are with Britney on board, then a return performance on X-Factor could really launch it.

    She sounds just like someone else, but I'm not sure who. The We Found Love bit is totally jarring with the rest of the song.

    It really does remind me of Try With Me so much.

    Poor Try With Me.

    This makes a TIRING and EXHAUSTING listen. How many sirens, breakdowns and build ups can you cram into a 4 minute long song?

    UNPLEASANT.
    Nothing to see here MOVE ALONG.

    Talk about tempting fate with the title, which reminds me of Rick Waller's director leaving an "I'm sorry" message in the video to try and distance himself from the project. I'm looking forward to the interviews. It sounds like an Agnes song botched up for UK radio. Both singers look like a wig on a turd as well.
    Reflected onto the wet pavement, can you see what I see?

    FUCK YOU! Agnes is and I will NOT hear a bad word said about her!

    As for Melanie, she was the best on X Factor, this, I'm not sure of. It's a bit TOO messy, it might be a grower though, I guess...

    I love Release Me, Open Up Your Eyes, On & On and How Do You Know, she's blander than Leona in a choma and her UK radio edits were incredibly frustrating for an act with so many rampant dance slices ready to be unleased as singles just fine as they were.

    That dubstep bit is just rather random and out of place
    It's like you're screaming . . . and no one can hear;
    you almost feel ashamed . . . that someone could be that important

    I love the resentful verses with the thumping beats and griding electro as she hisses some vanilla insults towards her lover. I mean what a pathetic bitch sitting by the phone and leaving her keys on the coun'er. Presumably that's where her X-Factor USA contract was left as well.

    "Love Me Now" leaked (not confirmed as a future single or anything) and it's rather fantastic if you give it a couple listens

    http://soundcloud.com/melanieamaro/love-me-now

    It just sounds much more natural for her than "Don't Fail Me Now". It is a bit sluggish in the first half but once it gets moving it's something rather SPECIAL.

    I'm not sure it's been officially released? It certainly hasn't done anything yet...
