Carrie from Everett, Wa"Impossible" is a song about a girl who decided she would take wise advice and apply it to her life while taking "caution when it comes to love." And so she did, and everything seemed perfect for the long run.Megan from Stevenson, AlI love this!!! Just makes you want to sing it!.That's just my opinion though, and if you prefer Shontelle's version then that's fair enough! :-) In addition, Shontelle's R&B take on the song was too sassy and upbeat for such a harrowing song IMO - wheras I feel James' darker, more rock-orientated sound had a bleak, pensive feel to it that fitted the stark lyrics of the song much better than Shontelle's. Personally I think James Arthur's 2012 version isn't just better - it completely blows Shontelle's version out of the water, mainly because it was written intended as a male heartbreak song so he was singing it from the male standpoint as it was originally intended by Arnthor Birgisson. Ina Wroldsen changed some of the lyrics with the intention of offering the song to several other hit artists, who turned it down (most notably Leona Lewis in 2008) Shontelle then covered it in 2010. He was contracted as a songwriter rather than a performer with the Maratone label so his version went unreleased. Contrary to popular belief this is not actually Shontelle's song - it was written in 2005 by Arthor Birgisson. Dave from Cardiff, WalesCarrie from Everett - actually "Impossible" was originally written as a male heartbreak song about a boy who took caution and did everything he could try and make the relationship work, but in the end he ultimately had his heart broken by a cool, aloof femme fatale with a strong personality but a cold heart.
