but one thing I am having a hard time understanding is why people who hate her voice bought the CD. It is one thing to buy something not knowing yuo would hate it, but you would have to have heard this song on the radio...it makes no sense to me. Maybe I am a little dense, but...

I really like the Eric Clapton song, and I'm Gonna Be a Wheel Someday is a much better anthem for hurt women then You Outta Know. Sheryl Crow is one of my very favorite artists, and part of her appeal is her unique voice and observant lyrics.

I guess the only people I should warn about not buying this CD is people who don't like Sheryl Crow's voice or the song if it makes you happy...but I thought that went without saying.

Of course I like the single, that is the beauty of buying a single, you know you will like at least half the songs on it. Sheryl Crow is an artist that pushes her emotions through the songs and into your ears. I didn't buy it for "musicality" or to be wowed by tonal ranges or subtle inflection. I bought it because it made me happy.

I'll be blunt. Sheryl Crow is one of my favourite female artists out there today. I understand why others might not like her style (or her voice for that matter) but to each their own... As for this particular song, it really blew me away. The harsh edge she brings to the lyrics, the raw energy she gives into this performance makes this song appear all too real for me. The 'screeching' (as some may call it) is overwhelming at times, but that's what I love about it. It's meant to overpower you... and it made me happy.
