hmmm well of course it's nowhere near the top of her discography but I actually always found it quite moving and superior to most of the popular 'inspirational' songs. idk, maybe it's just hugely overplayed in the US comparing to her other, better songs and that's also what bugs the fans? it probably is one of the go-to songs for all the (TV) music competitions too and they get pretty annoying. idk, as someone from Central Europe I do not recall hearing the song at all before I listened to it on my own a year ago (sorry lambs
- I heard Without You too many times though ), and then I was surprised to see the opinions here because as I said I liked it a lot. anyway thx for the response, just wanted to share what I thought
