I think the adoption of some elements of Mariah law is inevitable

Oh OK, I give in, this is the new Mariah Carey single "Touch My Body" and supposedly it's done by the dudes who brought you "Umbrella" - NOW will the comments flow?

Hide & Seek - Namie Amuro

I don't think I've heard more fun brass in a track in YEARS! The trumpets! TOTAL LOVE! Shame that the video completely fails to crunk it up but I think Namie Amuro is just a fairly blah dancer in general (pot/kettle, I know). Well - it TRIES to crunk it up, Candyman style, but... never quite gets there IMHO. Anyway:

Look, video club contribution, I can be a good poptimist too :)

*procrastinates some more*

Translations

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Have any non-Anglophone pop or rock writers ever had their work translated?

And for Poptimists in non-Anglophone countries, what is pop criticism like there?

(The PEEL POLL SEQUEL will be posted tomorrow so clear yr diaries)
