A New Decade In Pop: Week #49

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

X Factor finalists are still at number one; Mariah and the Pogues are omitted from the poll (as per last year) seeing as they are now-established re-entry perennials (reannuals?) - recurring weeds that have pushed Alesha Dixon down to #46, oh dear.
[Poll #1653811]
Xmas lower reaches watch: Joining Wizzard in the top 100 this week we have Wham at #57, Slade at #59, Band Aid at #62 and Shakin' Stevens at #73.

Poison is quite the banger. I like the way it sounds a bit like NIN in places and a lot like being run over by the Eurorave truck in others.

Afrojack is good except when Eva Simons is singing.

Poison is a banger.

I have ticked Creep because I enjoyed Wagner's rendition of it on X Factor. I did not enjoy The Wanted's rendition of their song on X Factor.

I think I might like Poison but I am still unsure. I want to hear who's that chick more before I decide. Until then I only tick one.

Who's That Chick - or how Guetta managed to not remind me too much of of what he does and made the most enjoyable Rihanna single (outside) of this campaign.

I read an interview with NS that made her sound like a fairly reasonable human, but I still find her singing persona incredibly off-putting, bordering on repulsive…

I love her drawling 20s barmaid voice on "Poishun". It sounds like she's chewing a cigar at the same time.
