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

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

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.

Right Sugababes ballad though.

I love 'Caught In A Moment' but I love 'Too Lost In You' more, it's a lot more heavy-handed and obviously weepy while 'Caught In A Moment' kind of drifts in its own bubble (both are good things but I like weepiness more than bubbles in ballads). Also TLIY has that astonishing "baby baby BABY" moment.

I usually tick Sugababes on principle (except when being contrary, e.g. re: "Freak Like Me") but I think they have tried to get away with too many poor single choices. So today I am rebelling: no ticky.

Have you heard the (French) original of Too Lost in You? (Quand J'ai Peur Du Tout by Patricia Kaas). It's also very nice, possibly even nicer.

Here you go:

it's from '97 and the production is perhaps a litte dates, but I love her huskier vocal performance and the rhyming scheme in French sounds really good (especially the 'quand tout lache, quand tout casse, quand tout clash' line in the chorus)
