Another Year In Pop: 42

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Pink has hung on to the top spot, fighting off stiff competition from a comedian in drag and last year's X Factor dude (Same Difference were ROBBED why yes I am still bitter).

Probably-X-Factor-related re-entry watch: Boyz II Men's 'I'll Make Love To You' in at no.89, U2's 'With Or Without You' at no. 66.

It's half-ballad and half-groove and I think works better than the two full-on grooves that preceded it.

(The YouTube vid I saw of it was followed-on by Lady Gaga. What do you think of her? I haven't heard her album. Jimmy Draper is intrigued by it, though I think there's someone here - was it piratemoggy? - who hates it.)

Don't like Lady Gaga and have no idea why her video's been appended to the PCDs' one - she smacks very much of "I"M SO CRAZEEEE" forced wackiness.

In "Just Dance" Gaga is clumsy in the way she falls over the music, but it is a tremendous song and can carry her weight. If the album had more like that it could be quite good, but the clumsiness has been why I've not gotten around to it.

I kind of dislike Lady GaGa as a whole but somehow seem to play 'Just Dance' at least four times a day and sort of really, really love it to death. 'Beautiful Dirty Rich' annoys the pants off me, though.
