'kiss kiss' is still the shit

"Kiss Kiss" isn't midtempo, is it? Basically I meant that "With You" was the only ballad-y CB song I've liked.
I shouldn't say C89 comes in "just fine", per se. It's a bit fuzzy where I'm at, but go about a mile in any direction, and it's crystal clear.
Yeah, I can hear it in the car, but not at home.
― musically, Monday, 10 March 2008 02:56 (sixteen years ago) link
well, I'll give you that "With You" is better than his other ballads, but I think "Kiss Kiss" is still midtempo (at least compared to stuff like "Run It" and "Wall To Wall" that beats you over the head with THIS IS A CLUB HIT signifiers).
― Alex in Baltimore, Monday, 10 March 2008 03:01 (sixteen years ago) link
Is it time for me to point out again that "Right Time" is by far the single best Chris Brown song and is both a ballad and midtempo? Also, "With You" is just fine, but c'mon who doesn't start singing "to the left, to the left" after the first 10 seconds. Stargate really, really have proven to be extraordinarily not diverse in their sound palette.
― matt2, Monday, 10 March 2008 18:57 (sixteen years ago) link
If by "Right Time" you mean "Say Goodbye," that shit is as much a smudged xerox of Usher's "Burn" as "Burn" was a smudged xerox of his own "U Got It Bad." Even the bridge is just "ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, can you feel me burnin'?" changed to "oh oh oh oh oh oh, do you hear me cryin'?" Those who don't know their R&B ballads are doomed to repeat them.
― Alex in Baltimore, Monday, 10 March 2008 19:18 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, sorry wrong name. Not sure how that happened. I guess I am doomed to repeat my R&B ballads then (whatever that actually means). And I prefer "Burn", "U Got It Bad", and "Say Goodbye" to "With You".
― matt2, Monday, 10 March 2008 20:41 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh I agree, "With You" is balls. I'm just saying it's no more copied from a formula that "Say Goodbye."

colby o donnis (?) and akon- what you got

i know i'm like a billion blogyears late, but "love in da club" is like angelic choirs on cotton candy clouds type shit

^ this means it is awesome
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 11 March 2008 20:49 (sixteen years ago) link
it's also an apt description for those of us who think the song is some weakass tinkerbell shit, too.
― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 11 March 2008 20:54 (sixteen years ago) link
We should have a "rolling charts thread for people who just heard that song that's been #1 for 3 months".

somehow i got sick of "sensual seduction" before i got sick of "Low"
― gr8080, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 02:07 (sixteen years ago) link
"Sensual Seduction" I pretty much ignored for a long time, now I'm like alright, this is a catchy song.
― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 02:25 (sixteen years ago) link
heard sensual seduction twice tonight and loved it as much as i ever did

the edited version>>>>>>>>>sexual eruption
true, actually
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 15:07 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm not sure I've even hear the "sexual eruption" version. and I've heard "Sensual Seduction" in clubs with the swears in the verses left in.

This week: "Love In This Club" holds strong at #1, but Chris Brown is still beating at the door. "Touch My Body" is up to #16 on airplay only, pretty impressive and likely to be another chart topper for Ms. Carey once released on iTunes. "Love Song" is still pushing up there, and has had much more staying power than I would have predicted. It's been overplayed but I still like it a lot! Lupe Fiasco's "Superstar" pushes into the top 10. Miley Cyrus is still sitting just outside. "All American Girl" making a slow climb towards being another huge Carrie Underwood crossover success. Soulja Boy's next single enters the top 50, let's see if he can avoid being remembered as a one hit wonder.
Airplay gainer = "No Air", Sales Gainer = "Bleeding Love", which jumps up to #21 and is now officially a cross-Atlantic hit! And "Hallelujah" hits #1 on the digital sales chart, thanks to Jason Castro. I wonder how high it would be on the hot 100 if eligible. We'll never know!
― Greg Fanoe, Thursday, 13 March 2008 11:30 (sixteen years ago) link
Also "Bleeding Love" is now up to #3 on the iTunes top 100!

WHAT DO WE THINK ABOUT THE BUCKCHERRY SINGLE?
I give them some strange sort of baffled propers for riding a Bush crib (BUSH FFS!) to their greatest-ever chart success, but it's really all been downhill since "Porno Star"...

has anyone heard the Cassie produced by Danja? I heard it's gonna blow up

The Buckcherry and the "Bleeding Love" make my eyes bleed tears of pain. I absolutely despise both of those.
So did radio reject Yael Naim, or simply not give her a chance?

shit teyana taylor "google me" is really good
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 23 March 2008 05:08 (sixteen years ago) link
i was all set to hate on it because i saw her episode of my super sweet 16 and she was a total brat and completely unlikable-- maybe playing up to the shows rep, and google me obv does nothing to mask her conceitedness-- but the chorus is really lush even though the rapping is just C+ at best

Ne-Yo - Closer
in the vein of "the way i are" and "please dont stop the music" or riding their coattails?
― gr8080, Sunday, 23 March 2008 05:13 (sixteen years ago) link
i think there was some talk about that in the r&b thread grady
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 23 March 2008 05:14 (sixteen years ago) link
i saw her episode of my super sweet 16

google me is hotness
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 23 March 2008 05:17 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah like, pharrell was in it and they said she was signed to star trek. she was wearing bathing apes and ice creams etc. and i never thought i'd hear a word from her again but whaddya know
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 23 March 2008 05:21 (sixteen years ago) link
i give her the benefit of the doubt kinda because i'm sure mtv edits the shit out those to make every subject seem like a total bitchy brat
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 23 March 2008 05:22 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah i mean that's the draw of the show

MADE is filming at my school, and they've asked several of my friends to talk shit about their subject.

what's the person wanna be made into?
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 23 March 2008 05:27 (sixteen years ago) link
they've gone through at least three people, i think. first one wanted to be a prom queen, they showed up and asked her to be a cheerleader, she was pissed but went on until they decided to stop...another guy wanted to be a ladies man and is still filming, i think??? there's a third girl, and i don't remember what she wants to be
― Tape Store, Sunday, 23 March 2008 05:31 (sixteen years ago) link
oh lol i didn't know the process was like that
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 23 March 2008 05:32 (sixteen years ago) link
i was always like "who the fuck would apply to be on made"
admittedly i don't watcha s much mtv as i used to but how did a group i've never heard of in my life just sell 190 thousand copies of an album
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 2 April 2008 21:21 (sixteen years ago) link
did they even have a single on the charts? a mention in the r&b thread even?
you've never heard of Dannity Kane?

just further proof that Diddy is a genius
― Preview of the Matrix 12, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 21:38 (sixteen years ago) link
I really just barely started to hear the Day26 single during the week of the album release, it hasn't gotten very far up the charts yet (not in the Hot 100, down at #39 on R&B chart). I guess it just goes to show that TV trumps music in terms of audience size every time, even w/ some random basic cable show that nobody I know watches.
― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 21:50 (sixteen years ago) link
by that logic tila tequilla would be able to move like 2.6 million copies in her first week if she dropped an album
