POP TRUMPS: Week 3

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Another Friday, another round of Pop Trumps! Rules are here - the way your scores are interpreted are totally up to you, but a 10 will beat a lower score.

Unlike the canons, Pop Trumps is not restricted to artists with at least 10 top 40 hits, and in our next contestant's case that's just as well...

Yes a million out of 10 for her broken Commodore 64 'aesthetic'.

Almost minus a point for the really awkward Kali dance in the Jimmy video but charity prevailed.

oh NO - gives me a headache. 1 out of 10 I says.

I seem to be out of line with the consensus on 'eccentricity' too - remind me what I'm forgetting here.

Consensus = there is none! The joy of orga-fun means you can read into it what you will. Eccentricity does sort of cover dress-sense, but also rounding up ten-year-old Australians for your urchin-rap masterpiece.

pish

[jeff-worrell.livejournal.com]

nah, dress sense belongs in 'visuals' category; and rounding up urchins for your alBUM goes to musical ability.

Conclusion: MIA is not eccentric at all! Everything she does is calculated, I suspect. I shall change my 3 to 0.

Jeff falls into authenticity trap

How does calculated not make you eccentric?

Good point. That's a non-sequitur. But I still say she's pretty normal as pop stars go. (Also, back-at-ya: what does authenticity have to do with any of this?)(And who cares about authenticity anyway?)
