 Not Train.... June 16, 2008
Astrotrain (USA)
Sounds a lot like the group Train ("Drops Of Jupiter"), but is not. Very good song to listen to, to brighten your day when you think everything is going wrong.

Daniel Powter's angsty anthem,"Bad Day" enjoyed (thankfully) brief fame thanks to it being the send-off song on American Idol. Powter whines repeatedly,"So you've had a bad day..." This song makes it worse. Powter's song was popular during the Whiny Male Singer Era,along with James Blunt bleating "You're beautiful" as he dared to bare his scrawny chest to the world.
"Bad Day" is a deeply,profoundly annoying song. It's a "the whole world is angsty and emo" kind of song. If you feel bad,this song WON'T cheer you up! Alanis Morrissette's angst is tolerable in comparison (but Powter is a masculine Morrissette,a fellow Canadian)
Canada has given musical horrors to the world such as Nickelback with the irritating Chad Kroeger,the embittered Alanis Morrissette,and fake punk rocker Avril Lavigne. Thank goodness Canada also bestowed The Final Sacrifice on the cinematic world! Rowsdower couldn't save Powter's whiny song.

This is easily one of my favorite songs. I enjoyed it the first time I heard it and I still love to listen to it whenever it comes on the radio. The video is awesome too.

Right Said Fred and Blind Melon; Daniel Powter joins the ranks of the poor one-hit wonders who were destined to crank out one overly played radio hit that grinded on everyone's nerves, and then disappeared. "Bad Day" is the first major goodbye song on American Idol, and as that was the first season I really became a fan, I started noticing on message boards, and various other entertainments sits, what is the name of that song? I first heard the name on MSNBC's Reality TV questions column, before the song's monumental success. Soon after that column, the song rocketed up the charts, and while I don't think it #1, it came pretty darn close, and still remains a download favorite a couple years later.
The song itself is good, not great. The vocals match and work with the song, the lyrics are good, and the piano works very well with the song. However, it kind of gets sappy after awhile. And again, after the radio long wheres out it's welcome, you're cursing the radio to stop playing that darn song.
So overall, a nice song, but it'll where on you after awhile, but it'll stay long after it's welcome, so beware. And yes, Daniel Powter still shows no sign of follow-up success. Say hello to Right Said Fred.
