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?

It's beautiful! And the lyrics are amazingly empowering but have that tremulous edge to them, like he's only just discovering he can fly. Blunt is creepy and stalky.

He can't actually fly.

The other great thing about IBICF is that you start of assuming it's yr common-or-garden self-empowerment mettyfor, but by the end such is R's conviction that you start to worry that maybe he is being qute literal and he does believe he can fly.

Alex attempting to convince the world that I Believe I Can Fly is an inspiring moment of lyrical perfection is beyond even your mighty powers of persuasion.

It is astonishingly awful. Ignition is great though.

Even apart from the lyrics I Believe I Can Fly has a massive tune and some OOMPH rather than burbling away without ever stumbling across a hook of any sort like Ignition does.

"It's the remix to ignition
Popping FRESH out the kitchen
Mama rolling that body
Got everyone in here itching
Sipping on coke and rum
I'm like so what I'm drunk
IT'S THE FREAKIN WEEKEND BABY I'M ABOUT TO HAVE ME SOME FUN!"

That entire verse clumps along on ONE SODDING NOTE and a really WEEDY RHYTHM! It's really annoying!

Re: NB

The first of many flaws in yr argument: that's the chorus.

Re: NB

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

That actually strengthens my argument, if you think about it.
