The History Of Pop Part 50 aka Last night, I had a dream about you

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

OMG in Now 49 we had...a DRAW! And a draw of two songs with great big ticky ratings at that! And poor old "Survivor" one point behind, with a score that would have walked 9 out of the last 10 polls. I feel as overexcited as Davina pretending a phone vote is close! Make yr choice between S Club and Outkast after you've voted in THIS Now poll, which kicks off with perhaps the iconic modern pop song and has a host of other 'talking points' - I expect plenty of Lexular squealing and much HEATED debate. Debut tracks from Sophie E-B, Five (late in the game!), Alihen Ant Farm, So Solid and a couple of French robots you may be familiar with...

EDIT: And how could I forget THE MOST ROMANTIC SONG EVER MADE?


[Poll #742292]

Yes but that doesn't mean they're better - in fact I have no idea why 'Toxic' does as it's almost impossible to dance to.

I like Britney's vox on 'Slave' a lot better than the other two.

Toxic v easy to dance to, as much as No Good Advice or whatever really.

'I'm A Slave 4 U' vox over Fatboy Slim's 'You're Not From Brighton' is one of my better mash-ups you know...

'Toxic' has a very stuttery, stop-starty beat which doesn't really flow in a physical way - 'No Good Advice' settles into a completely basic groove immediately!

the flow of 'Toxic' is for the listener to assume tho. listen to the beats that AREN'T there etc. - tempo wise it's about the same as 'No Good Advice' hence comparison

Beats that are there >>>> beats that aren't there!

i would dance to 'Toxic' in exactly the same way as i would dance to 'Perfect Gentleman'
