There is really no other way of saying this--this sucks. I would rather stick my head in a blender than listen to this crap any longer. I hope Adam is reading this because he needs to seriously consider a career change. Also, who is he trying to fool? "I Told Her?" More like "I Told Him", if you ask me.

First off, let me say that I am huge fan of pop music, and I'm always willing to give an up-and-comer a shot at my listening ear.  I went to his website to watch the video, and about 10 seconds into this song, I was extremely tempted to destroy my computer altogether to contain the wretched taint of this song, for fear of infecting the rest of my office with this GARBAGE. 

However, I toughed it out and got through the rest of the song, almost getting fired from my job because of how loudly I was LAUGHING at how horribly off pitch Adam was and how awful the song was.  The melody (if one could even call it that) did not match the background chords at all, and even when it did, you couldn't tell because Adam was extremely flat on about 90% of the notes in this song.

I just read that this guy is also working towards a bachelor's degree at some state college--let me say, good move on his part, because otherwise, the only job he'll get in the entertainment industry is fetching coffee for interns.  Save your money, save your ears--DO NOT BUY or support this travesty to the art of pop music, unless all you want out of the CD is a good laugh or a coaster for your beverage

Ask yourself, have you ever seen this many 5 star ratings that are completely glowing for a no name artist? Hmm, perhaps someone *cough* *cough* is trying to dilute honest opinions from REAL reviewers.

Follow these steps:
1. go to www.adambarta.com
2. view the video for "I Told Her"
3. stop laughing
4. seriously, stop laughing
5. decide whether you would like to purchase the cd

As for me, I've decided NOT to purchase this album.

As a word of advice for those giving fake 5 star reviews: At least TRY to make it somewhat believable. Say the kid shows potential and it's a good start and give him 3 stars. That's horribly distorted but it's better than the blatant disregard for all things holy giving him 5 stars along with a comment like "puts real sizzle in the "pop"". Perhaps that's the sizzle from the steaming pile of poo this song really is.

The Top 10 Better Ways to Spend Your $15.99 Than on this Discount Bin reject

10. Spend your $15.99 on the more than 455,645 items at Amazon that
people actually buy than this sorry excuse for a single. The facts
don't lie--"I Told Her" Amazon.com Sales Rank: 455,646. (Go ahead and
try to find something ranked lower than this)

9. For less than 10 cents a day, you can feed a starving child in a
foreign country for more than 4 months.

8. You can buy 8 gallons of gasoline, which will allow you to enjoy a
4 hour leisurely drive (if your car gets 30 mpg, at 60 mph) listening
to COMMERCIALLY SUCCESSFUL MUSICIANS WHO HAVE PROVEN THEMSELVES.

7. You can buy four drinks at a karaoke bar, listen to karoake
singers who stink, get up there yourself and botch a song, and realize
that even though everyone in this bar sucks, it was still more 100
times more enjoyable than listening to "I Told Her"

6. For an additional $15.99, you can buy the same formerly-starving
child a half-hour voice lesson, after which this child has a 99.9%
chance of SOUNDING MUCH BETTER than Adam ever will.

5. You can buy 120 earplugs (4.99 for a pack of 40) for 60 of your
friends in the event that they are ever forced to listen to "I Told
Her" on the radio.

4. Since when does an CD single with several versions of the SAME
HORRIBLE SONG cost $15.99? Last time I checked, singles by REPUTABLE
artists go for 8 bucks at most, and a typical full album with at least
10 songs costs way less than $15.99. Go buy two singles or one FULL
ALBUM with MORE THAN 2 SONGS on it.

3. Go to your local shopping mall, buy some cinnamon buns and pretzels
for the entire family, sit and enjoy mediocre renditions of your
favorite songs during the mall's talent show, which, sadly, even at
their worst, are still more tolerable than listening to "I Told Her"

2. Go to an online music service and buying 16 songs (at less than a
dollar each) that are actually WORTH LISTENING TO.

1. Donate your $15.99 to the Adam Barta College Fund.

I saw Adam perform recently at Heaven--a rather suspicious place to be performing a song about heartbreak from a girl. Anyway, this recording sounds bad, but let me just say, it is 10 times better than hearing him live. I urge you to buy a copy of this song before you actually hear him live, because if you do hear him live, then you'll really not want to support this talentless hack.

I heard this cd and its just the same song over and over and its a really bad song. Adam's voice is ok, nothing great.

I came across the single, "I Told Her" by Adam Barta and am almost at a loss for words. Adam's voice is crisp, clear, and powerful and he expresses such emotion in each word he sings. A true talent.
I leave this single in my car's cd player and listen to it over and over again.

In a day and time where garbage like Britney, Christina, and other pop sluts take center stage, there is finally somebody with actual talent and voice to outshine them all. Though not a fan of popular music, I freely admit I enjoyed listening to this CD a few times. I've also had a bonus occasion of seing him sing live, and it was great to see none of the airbrushing and weak-ass lip synching that pervades pop concerts today. Adam could easily outsing the Backdoor Boys and N*Suck anyday, and I highly recommend not only this CD, but seeing him live as well.

I think Adam is an amazing artist and his music is awesome! Go get the CD!!

"I Told Her" is a ballad which can speak to everyone. It lets the innermost feelings you have about that special person come through and the heartbreak of rejection. Everyone has these feelings some just need to get in touch with them and this song is a one way ticket to feelings that some of us didn't know we had.
