The History Of Jop Part 27 aka She got one of your kids got you for 18 years

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

And now - the final* Pazz and Jop poll. 2005 - seems like it was yesterday eh?

You have thirteen ticks across 39 boxes - the holdover from last year that I left out was "Galang", if you're interested.


[Poll #904749]


*or potentially penultimate, but I suspect the discussion of the New Times PJ poll will be along the lines of the JP one i.e. poll-free.

2004: Joptimists Verdict

1. Toxic (52 votes - offhand I can't remember anyone ever getting more, and certainly the 91% is huge)
2. Take Me Out (43)
3. What You Waiting For? (38)
4. Chewing Gum (37)
5=. 99 Problems (36)
5=. Galang (36)
7. Heartbeat (33)
8. Drop It Like It's Hot (27)
9. Yeah (Usher) (26)
10. Somebody Told Me (25)

And that's it. If anyone has any ideas for flagship poll series I will take them under consideration!

Madonna: too few tunes, so every song would start with a gorgeous drift and get my hopes up and then drift to dullness (w/ only two or three exceptions, though I did like the New York/dork song that lots of people thought was the album's one clinker [though didn't think much of that rhyme]). I'd actually voted Stuart Price back in 1999 (Les Rythmes Digitales) so had expectations. Also not in love with her mature, warm voice, which is dull butter or something. (Which hasn't stopped me voting her singles at times: "Frozen," for instance. But my last Madonna love was for Breathless and Truth Or Dare.)

I think the turning point was Evita, for which Madonna took singing lessons for the first time (IIRC) - or at least the first time since she'd become famous. I've been disappointed by a lot of what she's done since.
