it's one of those songs that would be so easily improved by a less talented singer if only to take the whole thing down a huge notch

I like "Domino", too. Lots of self-hatred over this.

My hatred of Jessie J's first two singles has eroded any goodwill I had from "Party In The USA", and her performance on Top Of The Pops over Xmas made me want to give on music as a whole, so I haven't knowingly/willingly listened to Domino and I probably won't.

tom ewing on jessie j:
Speaking of forced and artificial, as the UK ambassador on this panel I'd like to publically apologise for Jessie J, a tin-eared Bizarro to Gaga's Superwoman who the British music industry (or what's left of it) seems cruelly determined to make happen overseas. She's a caricature of the modern pop star—ever ready with a platitude, peddling lumbering self-empowerment but still obsessed with long-gone haters.

I've been tracking Little Jinder (then just Jinder, and now Little Jinder again) since 2008 maybe? A few stray demos and one or two singles and now this (an album is supposedly finally due). Dunno if this fits squarely in the pop thread's domain, but it's the closest I've got:

lol i did not really realize those are the lyrics to mr know it all
i just think there's something powerful there -- especially in the chorus, but granted the production/lyrical work on a lot of the song could stand to be drastically improved

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 6 March 2012 18:41 (1 year ago) Permalink
yeah i kinda get that too.
the single song it reminds me most of is "teenage dream" - first the fact that it heavily uses teen pop themes despite being performed by someone well out of her teens, but especially its structure and the fact that the syncopated string stabs during the chorus are just like the synths on katy perry's chorus

the flo rida joint "good feeling" is kinda my shit
"cough syrup" is one of those songs that won't seem to die if for no other reason than they refuse to release a follow-up single (and it's only their 2nd single). i don't really like it but their first hit "my body" was kind of a guilty pleasure joint for me.

is it about drank or what
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 8 March 2012 18:50 (1 year ago) Permalink
afaict it's just a dumb rock song about having a cold and drinking cough syrup? but i only realize now that it is kind of funny that 'Cough Syrup by Young The Giant' sounds like a description of a southern rap hit about getting throwed and not a wussy power ballad by a faux indie band.

i like their two singles. i had heard their song "cough syrup" back when they had another name so i was surprised to hear it on the radio like two years later. i have no idea if they have any other good songs.

lol i had to check and see what band name could possibly so bad that they'd have to change it to 'young the giant' and yup, 'the jakes' is even worse
