Tenille Townes has taken an original twist on the song “Stupid Boy” by Keith Urban. Originally sang from a male’s perspective, Tenille takes a unique turn lyrically and allows the listener to hear from the woman’s side of the story. She is able to do this by only slightly changing one of the lyrics from “it took a while for her to figure out she could run but when she did she was long gone” to “it took a while for ME to figure out I could run but when I did I was long gone”. However, the slight lyrical change adds a whole new meaning and hearing a female voice behind this iconic song adds such a different depth to it. I will always be a fan of the original because I feel like Keith Urban delivered it with such passion and intensity, but give Tenille’s version a listen and let me know who you think sang it better!
