Calling a song with Chris Brown "Maniac" seems... strategically unsound.

Jet no question

The Jet one has the potential to be even worse than the Nickelback one.

― Space Battle Rothko (Matt DC), Saturday, 7 November 2009 12:40 (2 weeks ago) Permalink

Yeah, Tim + Nickelback = basically the same as OneRepublic except with funnier vocals, whereas Anybody + Jet = worst pub band ever plus god knows what

― Drag Me to Hull (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 7 November 2009 12:46 (2 weeks ago) Permalink

Also Jet might try and do something "cool", or, saints preserve us, "funky".

― Space Battle Rothko (Matt DC), Saturday, 7 November 2009 13:05 (2 weeks ago) Permalink

Daughtry are way fucking worse than Nickelback. I think even Jet has the potential to be funny, but NOTHING GOOD can come of the Daughtry one.

Alex OTM -- Nickelback has at least shown a glimmer of self-consciousness in their career to date. It's kind of cute to see that someone is trying to resuscitate Esthero's career! Is she going to try to be the next Ke$ha now or something?

― The Cure for Mugabe's Concubine (dabug), Saturday, 7 November 2009 14:38 (2 weeks ago) Permalink

I briefly read that last one as "I Love Them" by Girl Talk (meta!) and would've ticked.

― The Cure for Mugabe's Concubine (dabug), Saturday, 7 November 2009 14:39 (2 weeks ago) Permalink

Eek, listening to Esthero again and I'd forgotten that she's an unholy mix between Tashbed and Pink. Second track of her album starts with an impressive piece of garbage spoken-word poetry slam thing that includes these lines:

I'm at the hip hop show head-bopping in the back
Smoking anything that'll burn
During intermission, I'm in the club bathroom
Hold up in a stall praying in earnest for Jeff Buckley's return
Thank heaven for you, thank heaven for you, thank heaven for you
I'm a studio rat, designer geared, Toronto kid, Hollywood brat
Bad gal, war child, bookworm, Sierra Leone activist cat

Can I change my tick? (Nah, Timbaland will prob keep her safely in the background.)

Why does it seem like all alt.black.chix love Esthero? This has been concerning me for some time.

My friend Aleeta loves Esthero, but she's basically just an R&B chick.

yeah, I guess it does extend into plain ol' r&b chicks too, but my point is that whenever I meet a cute young black lady who is into "interesting music", somehow that category includes Esthero

Well, she's pretty small potatoes in the scheme of things -- probably for fans of the genre, too -- and if you're going for "outre alt black R&B women" I can see how she fits in. Will be interested to see what Timbaland does with her, actually, because despite how hard she tries to shove Personality at you on her own album, I can't imagine he can do much but turn her into wallpaper (a la Ke$ha before "Tik Tok").

Well, as black as a white girl (I think?) from Ontario can be, I guess.

Like Jenny-Bea's oddly tasteful attempt to stick a line like "she won't fuck you like I did / she's not into that wild shit" into one of her songs. She's totally ready for 2009.

i just got into esthero music as well, great for love making, sensual and bold

― Don't Dream It, SB It (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 7 November 2009 15:03 (2 weeks ago) Permalink

ha, that's kind of a great line, but I can't imagine it working in an Esthero song

― swagless price (The Reverend), Saturday, 7 November 2009 15:17 (2 weeks ago) Permalink

Check it out! "If tha Mood" has that line, plus her taunting at the end "heh heh...I fucked yer boyfriend..."

Chorus: "If the mood should hitcha and you wanna, baby I don't mind, a little taste may relieve the tension I feel inside...ooh, I'm in the mood ba-da-da-da"

Wouldn't say it "works," in that I want to strangle everyone responsible for the track (reminds me of the stupid Little Jackie song about "boys are such a drag, what if I just tried being GAY" or whatever), but she's totally ready for c. 2009 Billboard charts with the right overbearing production.
