I'm a little disappointed. This seems more like Throwback than Motown in terms of quality. the guys sound good but the production and delivery just seem really underwhelming.
I think they should of done it a capella. the instrumental sounds kinda cheesy compared to the original rock ballad. it would of been also nice if they extended the song or added Nate more.
i like the song, but considering its boyz II men. a lot more could of been done vocally. I think Wanya saved the song.
It's funny, having listened to this song a bunch of times now, it's starting to sink in a little better.
Some thoughts...
Having listened to Journey's version, I love their instrumental as BoyIIVints said. The verses also have a hoarseness to it in Journey's that seems to add to the meaning.
However, I like the Boyz II Men version a lot, but for different reasons. As Boy said, Wanya really rocks the song. Wanya chorus is MUCH BETTER Journey chorus. He's just got so much power. I like the rise and fall of the vocals but still, something about Shawn's opening verse just seems like it doesn't have any punch to it, I'm with Moofu there. Lastly, around 2:40, the final chorus just seems too confused with so many things going on at once that it almost sounds like mumbling.
Overall, a good first step but I think they can step it up some.
I don't agree they need to start working on new songs. Loved the motown thing it put them back in the spotlight and showed that they still got it lets move on.
They plan on releasing a all-original album next year which will be something like their 20 year anniversary. They also talked about the possibility of Mike coming back.
As far as the song: I think this version is ok but I prefer Journey and Mariah actually.
