The History Of Pop Part 65 aka Jumping In My Tutu

Happy 2nd Birthday Poptimists!

As a celebration, here's a trip down memory lane - a NOW poll! For more recently arrived posters, the NOW Polls covered the first 64 volumes, and ended at around this time last year. There are now three more volumes, not that I'm intending to poll all three, but enough water has flowed under the pop bridge for a summer-of-06 lookback to not feel ENTIRELY like a pointless exercise.*


[Poll #1020712]


*in a relative sense, of course.

I quite liked the Aguilera then, but now I think it's awful. Mostly because there was an amazingly gay-tastic dance of her NEXT single that did everything I really wanted from a C.Ag single and now everything else sounds crap.

the Aguilera album really really benefited from being the first big summer pop album to come out last year (preceding Justin, Beyoncé, Paris) - it's not BAD but it's not GREAT either. Having said that it is mostly ballads, and I only ever crave Xtina ballads a couple of times a year, and when I crave them I REALLY crave them, so I may well turn round again.

I still love 'Ain't No Other Man' always & 4eva though.
