The History Of Pop Part 59 aka Only turning into tigers when we gotta fight back

Now 59 - later 2004 - the Golden Age continues, or....? JoJo, Three Of A Kind, V, Khia, Eric Prydz - we may well not see their like again. On paper this looks set to have a clear winner - but who knows the secret paths down which anygoodatall science will lead us?

Now 58 ended in a DRAW! - and no, no untickings were involved. "Hey Ya" and "Some Girls" fight it out down at the bottom of this poll. Kelis was one vote behind, and Girls Aloud one vote behind that. Very close.


[Poll #776850]

The first single is really good though! It was called 'Single', it was kind of cod-dancehall, it was all about how great it was to be single and it really suited her bellowing voice. I thought she was going to be a brilliant popstar after that - this, as OK as it is, really heralded the start of her immediate descent into MOR dullness and a career as the New Imbroolyooly.

I think that's why she sounded good on it! No tune => nowhere for the voice to go WRONG.

That's actively insane: More More More is the most abysmally personality-free SHAME of a record.

I am on the YSI case for both Millian and V, tho kind of scared of people not getting Hip To Hip's amazing uber-boyband-pop awesomeness.
