Rip-off

So Michelle Branch is trying to be hateful in this song? Well, I don't buy it. She obviously isn't hateful, so why is she even trying? Can you say "poser"? Anyway, in this song, she rips off Linkin Park's song "One Step Closer" (listen near the end where she says, "I'm about to break"). Linkin Park rip-off, I see. She even ripped off No Doubt's similarly titled song "Happy Now?" (see title and first line in chorus, except in the title, she adds "Are you" to make it her own). I'd rather listen to Linkin Park's and No Doubt's originals instead of this blatant rip-off.

I'm more than Happy Now!

Michelle Branch is one of the most Best Singers in the World.She has a Great voice not to mention very pretty and I like her.

Edgier and sounding great

Given that Michelle Branch was only 15 years old when she started writing the songs for her smash debut album "Spirit Room", it should come as little surprise that most of the songs on that album we of a softer and friendlier design. They were soft enough for some of the more cynical critics to dismiss her as nothing more than another puffy, fluffy, teen, bubble-gum pop star. However, if you looked closer at the songs like "All You Wanted" and "Goodbye to You", you could see small glimmers of potential for edgier, more emotional music.

"Are You Happy Now?", Branch's first single off her sophomore album, "Hotel Paper", delivers on that promise. "Are You Happy Now?" seems to be dealing with the wreckage of a broken relationship and carries the powerful emotions that go with it. The music, itself, has a more haunting sound to it while Michelle's powerful vocals (her strongest vocal performance to date) convey the raw emotion of hurt, bitterness, and anger. It will be intriguing to see what other emotional journeys the rest of "Hotel Paper" contains. "Are You Happy Now?" is as good an indication as any that Michelle Branch has the musical talent and emotional reservoir to be a prettier, and slightly less bitter, Alanis Morrisette. "Are You Happy Now?" Well, you should be with this song.
