Apologize (For Crappy Artist Labels)

I'm not staying for long. I've got a Powerpoint presentation to finish.

Anyway, Apologize just played on my iTunes. It reminded me of this issue that I just need to get off my chest.

On the artist box it says "Timbaland feat. One Republic"

Now generally, when an artist features other artists, it means that the one whose name is billed first generally sings more, and that the one being featured is just there for back-up vocals. Or they may be singing equal parts.

This song however.

It says "feat. One Republic", and yet it's them who does all the work! I've listened to this song many times and the only presence of Timbaland I've managed to detect are his faint "uhh"s and "yeah"s in the background.

Frankly, the song would have been better off without him.

I know why they labeled it such though. That thing about Timbaland being more famous and etc adminum venium jumping on the fame bandwagon.

But still.

Okay I'm done.
