poptimistsA couple of intriguing cross-generational match-ups today, and whatever happens, one Destiny's Child record is going to get the chop.
[Poll #921052]
Voting still open in the previous 16 fites, of course. Tomorrow - Madonna v Britney for the first time, and at least two draws that might break the Lex's tiny heart.

A top 5 that could stand up with near any act. As I've said before, if you count Beyonce solo work + "Bonnie and Clyde 03" + Destinys Child you have one of the greatest (top 10, easy) singles acts of all time.

'Irreplaceable' probably coming in just below 'Bootylicious' though this is all getting VERY HARD to decide...

Date: 2007-02-05 02:33 pm (UTC)"Nasty Girl" was a single too. Though maybe not in the UK. It had an amusing video.
I actually hate quite a number of DC singles too.
Re: DC IN ORDER
Date: 2007-02-05 02:42 pm (UTC)I differ from you in not actually hating any DC singles apart from 'Cater 2 U'. I suspect that what puts you off is exactly what I love about them. I don't hate any Beyoncé solo singles either ('Me Myself And I' is so bland that it could not possibly cause a feeling as strong as "hate").

The only Beyonce solo single I really like is "Irreplaceable". "Crazy In Love" would be v.good without Jay-Z spoiling it.
Re: DC IN ORDER
Date: 2007-02-06 10:10 am (UTC)How can you not love the 'Survivor' lyrics? They are ridiculous and snotty and self-righteous and single-minded and perfect for DIVAS. "You know I'm not gon' diss you on the internet cos my MAMA TAUGHT ME BETTER THAN THAT", etc.
Re: DC IN ORDER
Date: 2007-02-06 01:14 pm (UTC)That line about the Internet is one of the worst lines written by anyone, ever. Also, I find the chorus screechy and sloppy.

For what it's worth, Beyoncé's/Destiny's vocals usually leave me cold, "Survivor" being the only real exception: and yet I still think a lot of this is amazing. "Jumpin Jumpin" was one of the biggest kiddie pop hits of 2000. I just loved the idea of eight-year-olds dancing to something with vastly more complex rhythms than anything the Beatles (for instance) ever put out.
