Hell, but there's a lot of sour-faced cynics around in this thread!
I like songs that go over the top. I don't like songs that are insincere about sad things, and calculating.But there's nothing wrong with songs that go,over the top.
But a lot the songs people have been slagging off here are good straight sincere emotional songs that sometimes get sung by insincere calculating singers. They don't need scorning, they need rescuing.
And I detest the idea that fashion has anything to do with the merits of a song.
