Title: Horrible chorus destroys this song
Review: "If It Makes You Happy" starts off on a semi-agreeable note, with a tense, bouncing verse over which Crow sings somewhat hushed and wistful. There's a nice organ that has a kind-of "Positively 4th St." feel to it. Not bad, one thinks. Then, without warning, the screeching begins: "IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPYYYYYYYYYYY!" The bombast of Crow's voice, much like nails on a chalkboard, kills all good will fostered by the beginning of the song. The fact that the chorus repeats, thus forcing the listener to endure Crow's caterwauling more than once, only adds salt to the wound. Will give 2 stars for the nice organ and tight rhythm section, but the rest is all Sheryl Crow's fault. Brutal!
