Song: “Hello” (1984) by Lionel Richie

>>Randy in full-on bobo mode calls it “an Emo version.” Why is that the least bit Emo?

--------------------------------------------------

Oh, pshaw, Professor! It makes perfect sense! "Emo," you see, means "sounds kind of like Creed."

Add DC's tight jeans, hopelessly sensitive hair, and slight vocal resemblance to Scott Stapp to the lyrics about arms being open wide, and the kid's practically a one-man tribute band! Did I mention that his guitar is plugged in, yet not impolitely loud? --Well, now I did.

Cordially,
