Jop Tournament: The Final

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Following a draw in one of the semi finals we have a three-way clash for the title of "Best Track Ever To Be In A Pazz And Jop Poll". Madge, Missy and Michael - choose wisely!

[Poll #933501]

And that wraps up the era of the monster polls, unless anyone can think of a new idea. But why would they, with the League Of Pop almost upon us (and plenty of canons to be done).

The thing is, that could apply to lots of people who would be bored and baffled by our convo and who've never heard of "Get Ur Freak On," e.g., the average listener of Radio Disney. (And I'll bet you that most poptimists, even most of the American poptimists, have never heard anything in the KDIS top 8.)(And for the most part it's a relatively dull top 8 - though more dancey pop - in comparison to Disney top 8's from several years ago.)

Yeah, but Disney's whole thing is to intentionally create a parallel pop universe that removes "objectionable" elements from songs, but keeps the general style of contemporary pop, right? That's the appeal both aesthetically and commercially...it's an island. It helps the brand that it's separate from the mainstream while also arguably MORE mainstream and MORE popular.
