i leave you alone for one day and look what travesties ensue

Poptimists. We need to talk.

You really let me down yesterday.

Ciara’s ‘Goodies’ is a poptimist touchstone, and Miss Ciara Princess Harris a poptimist heroine on a par with Kelis, Britney, Xtina, Aaliyah, Rachel and Kylie. Yet you did not give her the respect she deserved as the first lady of crunk’n’b. To add insult to injury, she appears to have been beaten by both past-it Chemical Brothers and dreadful indie Killers.

I’m disappointed in you.

Explain yourselves please.

I agree less than 50% is total travesty! I gave it a best-in-show nod if that helps. It's still only my 3rd fav Ciara single, though. "1, 2 Step" wins partly because of that FANTASTIC kraftwerky percussion thwak thing that swishes madly between the L and R channels (too bad I don't "do" clubs and can have it happen ALL AROUND ME), and "Oh" is v sexily slinky with fun Luda rap as well (yes these two things are mutually exclusive but that doesn't matter).

'Oh' is my favourite - there was a FOURTH amazing Ciara banger which never got released as a single called 'Hotline' as well, amazing high-end and pounding drums. I will YSI at some point. Have you heard her new one 'Get Up'? That's brilliant too.

Hotline YSI unnec -- I have the album (unless it's different version?). Not heard GU yet.
