Not bad though I must admit to being mildly disappointed that I wasn't RickRoll'd by Rick Astley himself.

Not bad...Still nothing like the first time I saw the video way back when and I find out this Motown voice is coming outta this skinny redheaded Englishman. His voice seems to be a bit different from then...more American Idol-ish

The song was good but the video made me dizzy with that spinning sequence.

He's trying for a sound that'll be marketable in today's music scene. *shrug* Most older artists do that to some extent, unless they're solidly in the "superstar" category and print their own money with their CDs. 
This isn't really my cup of tea, but the song was actually pretty good. Needs less camera spinning, though.

Doesn't sound that bad, not sure if I'd buy a CD from him, but I wouldn't mind listening to it on the radio. One thing I did notice though, is it just me, or does he look like Clay Aiken?

Dude needs to learn to use a tambourine, he looks awkward singing with his hands like that.
Clearly he was going for Epic Cam Spins.
::edit:: They nurfed the music for that vid. So sad.
I've had the song in my signature for months now.
Meh, run off the mill, one in a million pop.

Ack. That's horrible.
Back to obscurity with you Astley. Don't sully my ears again.

I didn't hate that. (And I hate a lot of things.)
It's not really "new" it if was released 3 months ago.

It's still fresh! It doesn't have any mold on it.
