Without rehashing my issue over the use of the term "hate" in this challenge, I can honestly say that I did not have any trouble coming up with a song for today. I will not go as far as to say that I hate this song, but if I never hear My Heart Will Go On again, I will be perfectly content.
It is not that it is a bad song. It actually was a nice song the first 10,000 times I heard it. It is by Celine Dion, who I do really like almost always. Well, a slight clarification here, I like to hear her sing. It is very rough to watch her sing though. That girl makes some of the most hysterically awful faces I have ever seen when she sings. She is also not a good mover. I swear she walks around the stage like a truck driver who just got off a 16 hour road trip. In pictures she is gorgeous but, moving pictures, she really makes me laugh. It's almost like she is the love child of Elvis and David Lee Roth.
But she really can sing!
The song also has in it's corner the fact that it is from a pretty great movie. I have watched Titanic quite a bit. I have a thing for Kate Winslet, I admit. Not so much Leo, but he is very talented too, he just does not draw my attention like she does. The song works very well with the movie.
Seriously though, every time I turned on the radio, the tv or saw a drag show in Titanic's heyday, this darn song was playing. Dance mixes at the club were a staple, American Idol hopefuls by the thousands murdered it over and over again, and awful karaoke renditions that set my teeth on edge all together ruined it for me. There really CAN be too much of a good thing. Trust me.
Maybe in another 10 years, when the song is but a faint echo in my memory, I can return to it and bear to add it on my playlist, but for now, I think I would like to let it rest awhile longer. The video does however, make me want to watch the movie again. I guess my 'hate' does not run too deep.
My Heart Will Go On
