It's been perched up in the top 3 on billboard since its release and has a real shot in going #1 this week.

Do you think it's generic? Why or why not?

Discuss.

[The Best One Yet]

No, it's pop and radio friendly, but that doesn't mean is generic.

Poll's up

[jqnetto]

Yes, it's the most generic song i have ever heard.

[Babe.]

The poll options.

[Wonda]

Hmm. I think the poll options are a bit extreme, but I'd say it does lean a tad towards the generic side.

[xLovatoEve]

I like it.

[CoolestPerson12]

Its generic, that's what they were going for.

[B2R4D]

It's another overplayed, annoying mess just like MLJ.

[Gagazane]

Of course.

[cuitrex]

Yes

[stoopidjenna]

It should have been titled Payphone Hearts.

[Guernica]

Yes. After MLJ took off they said they decided to just make the entire album like that and go for as poppy/radio friendly a sound as possible. That to me is generic.

[D.M.F]

No it's not generic.

***** all over MLJ

This def ain't true. This song isn't even nearly as successful, legendary, and iconic like Jagger is.

[Auren]

I don't know what's happened to Maroon 5 since Songs About Jane but their new record is trash. Payphone is the worst kind of awful.

[ExclamationMarks]

It's SO generic. It's even more generic than Stereo Hearte, which I originally thought was the most generic song ever.

[Rated R]

It's beyond generic...but it is better than MLJ.

[BlaBlaBla]

It's generic mid-tempo AND bland

[kylespearsfenty]

It sounds like Adam Levine sang over a slightly changed "The One That Got Away" beat.
