"Bad Day," the first single off Daniel Powter's small masterpiece of a debut disc, has been divebombing TV-watching Americans for months. Turn on "American Idol" and there it is, accompanying the latest axed contestant off the stage. Switch over to Showtime, and it's on promos for "Weeds." The VH1 video is inescapable. Yet nobody knows who the guy is (a 35-year-old French Canadian, it turns out), and attempts to compare him to other singers inevitably come up short. Powter is poppier than James Blunt, more substantial than Adam Levin, and way less hangdoggish than Train. He is--and there may be no flattering way of saying this--like the late-'70s pop king Leo Sayer: an elastic-voiced and enormously infectious singer who can make you feel like dancing in the space of a few deft keyboard plinks. Powter, the disc, has legs, too: "Bad Day" is as big a bummer as its title suggests compared with the all-out party that is "Jimmy Gets High." "Free Loop" chugs toward its vaguely sad station stop in the most ingratiating way possible, and "Song 6" sucks you in with a groove that won't soon stop doing loop-de-loops around your every thought. Powter to the people--it should have come a lot sooner. --Tammy La Gorce

One-hit wonder for REAL.......2007-06-01

After Daniel Powter hit the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Bad Day", it seemed like he was all over the place. But after releasing several singles in different foreign markets didn't come close to the same success, he kind of disappeared. And I understand why after listening to his self-titled album.

Daniel's style isn't merely adult contemporary; it sounds more like rock'n'soul (kinda like Maroon 5). I was initially going to say that Daniel waited too long to start a music career because he's already in his mid-thirties, but then I decided that that's not so big of an issue (and anyway, Cyndi Lauper was in HER mid-thirties when She's So Unusual came out). But the problem here is that Daniel's songwriting isn't the greatest, like "Song 6" and the confusing "Lie to Me". But other songs just flat-out don't make sense, like "Hollywood". And "Suspect" is just bizarre, production, singing and all; I had the lyrics right in front of me and I still couldn't figure out what the hell he was saying.

I noticed that a few reviewers were complaining about Daniel's falsetto here and there. I don't have a problem with falsettos in general; what I DO have a problem with is the fact that he isn't the greatest at it (see "Jimmy Gets High" and the aforementioned "Lie to Me"). I mean, he doesn't sound terrible, but paired with the below-average lyrics, it doesn't make for a good combination.

I wonder what version of the album I have because MY disc has eleven tracks instead of ten: the first track is a song called "Love You Lately", which is actually one of the best selections. I guess everyone else will have to just download that song. And if you do THAT, you should also download "Give Me Life" and, of course, "Bad Day". In the end, it appears that Daniel's piano skills are much better than his songwriting skills, so he should improve on the latter if he wants that classic album.

One good song.......2007-03-12

You would do better to pay 99 cents to download "Bad Day".

Daniel Powter CD.......2006-11-11

Not enough music on CD but what was there was very good. I personally think a lot of his music sounds a like. I purchased for the song So You've Had a Bad Day and I do enjoy this song.

Good Stuff.......2006-11-10

Was a good cd, not much more I have to say about it...

I didn't even know who he is until I purchased the album and it turned out to be a surprisingly good album.

Just what I wanted.......2007-01-10

All I needed was the Bad Day song and that is what I got!

Just like life...it's raw...it's truthful...it's life!.......2006-09-08

This song has gotten me through a FEW bad days!! I'm so happy to hear a song that reaches out to us ordinary folk with real feelings and bad days!

Great first single!.......2005-08-19

I saw the music video for this song a few days ago and it was stuck in my head for days! Canadian singer Daniel Powter is definitely talented, and it shows in his first single. I cannot wait for his self-titled album to be released in October so that I can listen to the rest of the songs.

He is not gonna have a bad day no more.......2005-08-04

It's certainly catchy, a track which burns its way almost instantly into your head. But bizarrely, it seemingly segues from boy band banality to Foo Fighters-style raucous rock. Tracks TBA. Warner. 2005.

Customer Reviews:

It's a CD-SINGLE!!!!!!.......2006-08-05

To the other reviewers that were shocked. Read the description about this and other CD's. They say CD-Single or Maxi-Single. That means it's usually only a song or two. Usually remixes of the same song. Plus there is usually a list of the songs on the CD in the description. You weren't ripped off. You just didn't take the time to read about what you were buying.

Bad Day is the correct Title.......2006-07-13

This is another "Rip-Off" CD. 3 songs and a Video, don't make this a good purchase.

I expect a CD to have, at least, 8-10 songs on it.

THIS IS A SURPRISING CD.......2006-07-02

THIS IS A VERY GOOD CD. LIKE ALOT OF PEOPLE I LOVED BAD DAY AND LISTENED TO THE CD ONLINE WHERE I FOUND IT TO BE VERY EASY TO LISTEN TO. THIS MAY BE THE NEXT STAR ON THE POP CHARTS

Bad Day Pt.2.......2006-07-01

I bought this only for the single song (Bad Day) and have found the entire CD sooooooo good. I will look for him in the future. He is easy to listen to.

Buy If you want just three songs.......2006-07-01

Only three songs were on this CD. What a rip-off!
