Free Music Notes for Are You Happy Now?Free Music Review: 4.25 stars. Hit: 4 StarsThere is no title. I thought it was appropriate.
Anyway, this song is it. It was it then ('03). I was even obsessed with the darker video, and the anger and all of the yellow surroundings, aglow.

Free Music Review: Rip-off Hit: 1 StarsSo Michelle Branch is trying to be hateful in this song? Well, I don't buy it. She obviously isn't hateful, so why is she even trying? Can you say "poser"? Anyway, in this song, she rips off Linkin Park's song "One Step Closer" (listen near the end where she says, "I'm about to break"). Linkin Park rip-off, I see. She even ripped off No Doubt's similarly titled song "Happy Now?" (see title and first line in chorus, except in the title, she adds "Are you" to make it her own). I'd rather listen to Linkin Park's and No Doubt's originals instead of this blatant rip-off.
Free Music Review: I'm more than Happy Now! Hit: 5 StarsMichelle Branch is one of the most Best Singers in the World.She has a Great voice not to mention very pretty and I like her.
Free Music Review: Edgier and sounding great Hit: 4 StarsGiven that Michelle Branch was only 15 years old when she started writing the songs for her smash debut album "Spirit Room", it should come as little surprise that most of the songs on that album we of a softer and friendlier design. They were soft enough for some of the more cynical critics to dismiss her as nothing more than another puffy, fluffy, teen, bubble-gum pop star. However, if you looked closer at the songs like "All You Wanted" and "Goodbye to You", you could see small glimmers of potential for edgier, more emotional music.
"Are You Happy Now?", Branch's first single off her sophomore album, "Hotel Paper", delivers on that promise. "Are You Happy Now?" seems to be dealing with the wreckage of a broken relationship and carries the powerful emotions that go with it. The music, itself, has a more haunting sound to it while Michelle's powerful vocals (her strongest vocal performance to date) convey the raw emotion of hurt, bitterness, and anger. It will be intriguing to see what other emotional journeys the rest of "Hotel Paper" contains. "Are You Happy Now?" is as good an indication as any that Michelle Branch has the musical talent and emotional reservoir to be a prettier, and slightly less bitter, Alanis Morrisette. "Are You Happy Now?" Well, you should be with this song.
Free Music Review: Awesome! Hit: 5 Stars1.Are You Happy Now - Really shows off Michelle ability to write more then just pop songs. This song seems so much mroe mature then any of the songs on The Spirit Room, I definatly suggest you to buy this single if you like main stream music that has flare!2. Wanting Out - This song is only avaible on this single. It really seems that although Michelle can write an awesome rock song, she still will write a nice pop song. But although it is pop, it doesn seem much better then the pop on The Spirit Room. 3. Hotal Paper (Live) - Not only do I love the studio version of this song, but this live version rocks. It's from her Sessions@AOL preformance, and it really shows off her vocals ability. Not to mention it's really awesome because it's just her and her guitar! Go Michelle!
