The History Of Pop Part 55 aka Now, usually I don't do this, but....

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

tATu won the Now 54 poll with Girls Alound a close second. Both groups are in it this time, as are Justin, R Kelly and 50 Cent - and the Fast Food Rockers! "Oh, 2003paws", as we wouldn't have said in 2003.

Lots to talk about here, so why don't we get on with it?

TICKNITION (REMIX)

Comments

My first ever no ticky! (I am prepared to alter this given persuasion about the tracks I've forgotten in section 3)

Tiga's "Hot In Herre" is the ironic indie cover it's OK to like, no?

[zenith.livejournal.com]

Confession: I don't really remember how Excuse Me Miss goes but I ticked it sort of on principle.

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I don't really remember how it goes either but I know I didn't like Blueprint 2 at all.

[zenith.livejournal.com]

Even he admits it was "not so hot, too many songs".

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

it's one of the lushest Neptunes productions ever! but still quite minimal obv. - great flanged strings. Pharrell is a bit annoying on it tho (what's new?)

Is "Free Me" one of the ones you've forgotten?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Yes - is it from her tepid 60s pop kitten phase?

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

It's the lead single and only OK-ish - no one would have ever guessed from it that she would make a viable album of the stuff and it woul dbe mostly good.

Tiga isn't indie he's dance!

I didn't know his cover made it on to a Now, or indeed why - I didn't think Tiga had had any chart hits.

BORING. use other ideas pls.

even if tiga wasn't indie, WHICH HE IS, jake shears is ENTIRELY MADE OF INDIE

I hated Tiga's Hot In Herre at the time on account of it being an ironic indie cover!
