[Cute.]

Though not cute enough. The line about "Even if a long-haired ghost who came out of the TV was in love with you..." brings to mind Erma, the most adorable character in history. It's a webcomic that basically asks the question "what if the girl from The Ring married a human and they had the most adorable daughter??" and it is, basically, the greatest comic of all time.

...at least the parts of it I've read. I haven't had much time to read lately, so I'm way behind on it*... but I highly recommend the ones I had a chance to read. It starts off with random one-shot comics, but starts doing story arcs after a while... well, probably not the type of thing anyone here would be interested in, but I loved it.

Of course this particular song is about stopping the girl from The Ring from finding love, so the singer is technically stopping Erma from being born, and therefore I hate her. </.<

Kidding. I think.

[Final Note: *Actually the comic had been going on for years before I heard about it on Reddit and I never got through the backlog, so saying I'm "way behind" sounds a bit misleading. I haven't fallen behind, so much as I never had the time to catch up in the first place.]

[Good, but uninspiring.]

First, that title always makes me think of Bret Hart's "Never Been a Right Time to Say Goodbye":

Obviously these songs aren't related in the least. There's no way I can connect "pro wrestler gives a spoken word song about a dying relationship" to "Beyonce does her best Diana Ross impersonation", outside of the 'these songs both have "Goodbye" in the title' angle. But that's still where my mind goes, every single time I've seen this song, from the point you nominated it until this write-up.

The song I'm supposed to be ranking is good, though I think I'd prefer to just listen to Diana Ross or Motown music in general rather than this soundtrack that's just heavily inspired by them. I just don't think even Beyonce compares to Diana Ross, at least in this specific genre of music.

[Final Thoughts: Actually, thinking about it a bit more, I'm not sure there are any Diana Ross songs (solo or with The Supremes) that I truly love. Perhaps I should have chosen Dionne Warwick as my example? Not as direct a comparison to Beyonce's character as Diana Ross, but similar and I can at least point to "Walk On By" as a personal favorite.]
