JUDGE POP Returns

We welcome back JUDGE POP from a hard week patrolling the mean streets of Mega-City Pop, with only his six types of bullet standing between him and a host of lawbreaking perps.

Some of Judge Pop's cases - such as the return of Cud - are easily solved. Others present a stiffer test. Take imminent No.1 chirpstress Lily Allen, for example. Keith Allen's daughter playing pop-ska and singing about smiling - the saviour of the summer or an apalling musical crime. Judge Pop needs YOUR help in deciding!



[Poll #763994]

Thankyou, citizen. Now move along to the comment box.

Haha I was just arguing about her on mine lj with avv!

She is irritating and has an irritating voice and irritating Allbran-esque Mockneyisms and really, really awful lyrics and even worse and most unforgivably SHE MAKES SODDING SKA MUSIC (yes yes yes Paris H I know but Paris is different). She is like a one-woman Ordinary Boys.

I have listened to all the songs which were on her myspace once - none stood out apart from 'Ldn' which was unbearably ghastly. I have no idea which one 'Smile' was.

It's the one about how glad she is that her ex boyfriend is utterly miserable.

I don't find her voice irritating at all. It sounds like she's singing to herself while sorting out her washing in the laundrette.

Some of the lyrics are dodgy (a bit too spiteful) but on the whole I'm prepared to forgive this. As should Judge Pop.

the Paris track is more like 'proper' cod-reggae than ska anyway. it reminds me a lot of BIG MOUNTAIN.
