Very difficult to choose. I REALLY like the Turn to Grey clip on the MTV site, and I like What's Wrong really, really well too. Stories from Hollywood is probably my least favorite, but even that one I like a lot.
Turn to Grey is definitly my favorite. Like them all, but that one is just more pure. More of JOn's sweet voice. I could listen to that one over and over and over and over.....LOVE IT!

What's Wrong is my fave for many reasons..but love Turn to Grey as well. I love the sample tht's up on MTV. It leaves me wanting more. Stories from Hollywood is very catchy..can't get it out of my head.
Turn to Grey is definitely my favorite. I just love it. What's Wrong is my second favorite. I adore the "Oh, she bangs, she bangs" part At first I thought it was ok, mostly because I thought there were two too many "oo" lines if you know what I mean. But now I love it and can't think of it any other way.
Honestly, I just can't bring myself to love Stories From Hollywood. I just haven't heard enough of it. It sounds like it'll be good after that "Tell me your best stories from Hollywood" part, but I really can't hear to judge, you know?
Either way, I CANNOT wait to hear the full versions!
I think I actually like the two new ones better than "Turn to Grey". From the clips, I'd probably choose "What's Wrong" but "Stories From Hollywood" seems to have the most potential as far as the whole song goes; it leaves me yearning to hear more.
I had "Stories From Hollywood" in my head all day at work yesterday. I'm coming around on "What's Wrong" -- it's just hard for me to understand the lyrics in certain points, the music seems to drown out his vocals.
I'm very relieved that I like his music. Even though I've always loved his voice, I was a little nervous that his music wouldn't really be my style. I was somewhat reassured after reading people's posts following the Idaho Falls show, but it's still nice to experience it for myself.
It's difficult to compare because I like them all for different reasons. Hollywood has the nudge for me mostly because of the hook. I was singing it in my head all day after hearing it. And I love the "always, always wanted..." I love What's Wrong because I think the lyrics are pretty ballsy (if I am interpretting them correctly). Seriously, I want to pump my fist in the air or something after listening to it. Hee. And rocker Jon will always have my heart of hearts. I luv me some raspy rocker voice. Turn to Grey is all about the voice for me. And the metaphorical season thing in the lyrics. But it's an odd tempo, a bit mellow R&B-ish with the tempo, which usually isn't my bag, hence the reason I would rank it last. But the VOICE....
Ok, since I started this poll, I guess I best answer my own question!
I actually like all three songs for different reasons, so I really can't say that I have a clear favorite of the three! I love "Turn to Grey" because it's just a good song, and I love how Jon's voice sounds in that song! I also love "Stories From Hollywood" because it's a catchy song, and I can definitley see/hear it getting a lot of air-play on the radio, in the future. And, "What's Wrong" is also really good, I didn't like it all that well at first, but the more I listen to it, the more I love it, as well! I guess, depending on when you asked me, I would probably have a different favorite each time, because each time I listen to the songs, I find something different that I like about them! So, it is really hard for me to choose just one as my favorite, because I truly do love all three songs!
My order is: What's Wrong, Turn to Grey, Stories From Hollywood. I like them all but SFH is not usually the kind of thing I listen to. More than anything I like that they're all pretty different style wise but yet they all seem like Jon, if that makes sense .
We're way too young to fall asleep Too cynical to speak We are losing it, can't you tell?
Stories from Hollywood is my FAVORITE! why doesnt anyone else like that song? =) does anyone know where else i could listen to the MTV sample of Turn to Grey? mine dosent work at least w/ the mtv one =) thanks
At first I thought it was ok, mostly because I thought there were two too many "oo" lines if you know what I mean. But now I love it and can't think of it any other way.
