"Bad" Stevie Wonder Songs
I don't there are many "bad" Stevie Wonder songs. However, the genius does have a few stinkers (to me at least). What Stevie Wonder songs would you consider as "bad."
For me, "Land of La La" is one of his worst songs.

I'm not a Stevie fan, so I wouldn't know. From what I've heard (it's all hits ) I like all of Stevie's work.
The one you posted didn't sound too bad.

That's the thing, he hasn't released too many bad songs, but I would consider this one as bad.

I was never a fan of, "These Three Words". I always found it really cheesy. I would take "I Just Called...", over that one anyday.

It's the beginning. It starts off so syrupy that I always want to change it but I've learned to get over that part cause the rest of the song is just pure bliss.

Some of the Little Stevie Wonder songs aren't that great, but not really bad though.
You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

I was a fan of syrupy shit like that. Though I still couldn't stand IJCTSILY, maybe it was the term of how syrupy it was lol

It's not really a "bad song", the approach is questionable.Herbie Hancock and Greg Phillinganes came up with a different arrangement on...

I remembered when you posted this.
Yeah I think Stevie totally missed the mark - which is rare for him - on this song.

The look on Stevie's face was like, "This, this is what this song should have sounded like"?

It's not a "hater" thread. I just wanted to see what people thought were his "bad" songs. People always pick their least favorite Prince and MJ songs, I have never seen people start one for Stevie.
