Come to think of it, this is <b>a Ryan Tedder problem</b> -- he writes decent verses and shitty choruses! It was the <i>exact same issue</i> I had with Leona Lewis's "Bleeding Love"; loved the melody on the verse and the build, and then the "Keep bleeding, keep, keep..." was like air being let out of a balloon. (I seem to be the only critic who feels this; never seen another review of the song making this distinction. Everyone either loves or hates "BL" in toto.) Even "Apologize," whiny as it was, had a decent verse. But oh, that mewling chorus...made me wanna blow my brains out. P.S.

The verse is borderline-excellent, but there's no there there on the chorus -- that's your bombast problem right there. (I even like the build to the chorus; it's the refrain that leaves me cold.)
