I would tolerate a song that has no solid melody- if it had good lyrics
I would tolerate a song that has clichéd lyrics about love -if it had a good melody
I would tolerate with a slick sugary oversweet production if the song were otherwise good

But if you take all those and make a song it sounds awful. Some ballads are like that.

I know they are trying to be heartbreaking. I know they are sometimes filled with true emotion. They are usually sung with a shakey 'sincere' tone.

But. Everyone of us has emotions. If you are willing to release your emotions with a song, won't you please come up with a good melody or actually original words? And could you please leave those Hollywood strings out?
