rolling pop 2011

oh and add this to the list of flo-rida singles that i begrudgingly enjoy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2ooeJfckok

jojo single is disappointingly regressive considering "marvin's room (can't do better)" is one of my trax of the year

ditto kelly c considering the stuff that leaked last month

come ON, pop stars, we know you can do better

why would anyone's remix of a Drakesadpanda anthem be anyone's track of the year

Because she makes it genuinely affecting and narrated by an interesting character instead of fucking Drake.

man, I thought "Moves Like Jagger" would die ignominiously after its early peak in July; now it's played three times an hour.

i still haven't heard it on the radio, which is weird because i at least check in w/ the local top 40 station pretty regularly

i've heard it once on the radio, which i don't listen to too much these days, but still: once

why would anyone's remix of a Drakesadpanda anthem be anyone's track of the year

great lyrics, great performance, no trace of drake

i hear the Levine/Travie collab more (xpost)

i know i know, i'm alone in thinking the Noah "40" Shebib underwater moping chamber sound is almost as loathsome as the vocals Drake applies to it

i don't think i'd stan for that style of production but it's a bit too malleable to either love or hate as a thing - right song/singer, it comes into its own, wrong song/singer, it's execrable and lazy

"marvin's room" is in my top 10/15 tracks this year

yeah her version of "marvin's room" is great. i have to say though i am really impressed by "disaster" as well despite the fact that it follows the jojo-hit template very closely.

kelly clarkson's single :(

funnily enough right after posting that i went to run an errand, and in the car one of the D.C. R&B stations was playing the JoJo version (or rather a blend of it and the Drake version). it's aight but c'mon. j0rdan calling Bieber's version of "Trust Issues" interesting prompted the same feeling in me -- like wholesome-looking young white folks doing versions of dark debauched songs by rap stars is an idea that's older than YouTube and surely has been bled dry by the last few years of webcam kids.

i was calling the bieber version of "trust issues" "interesting" in the lightest sense

i did have to listen to it just to see if he says "bitches" 50 times like the Drake version but he changes it to "women"

i actually heard jojo's "marvin's room" before i'd heard the drake song (and before i knew it was a remix), i just thought it was a super-good song

ditto

also her version is more dark and debauched, or at least strung out and medicated, than his

i'm just saying you can do better

why does everyone hate drake?

that's a complicated question

i don't hate him anymore, i think his album might be good

why does everyone hate drake?

he has the worst voice in the world

drake = tampon rap

also, and this is totally aside from his music and wholly irrational, he has the most instantly punchable face I have ever seen on a celebrity

basically every time I see or hear him, I feel a primal urge to destroy him

i don't hate him anymore, i think his album might be good

you caved in to katy perry and ke$ha too iirc. i call stockholm syndrome

i love one ke$ha song and two katy perry songs, i'd hardly call that caving!

he has the most instantly punchable face I have ever seen on a celebrity

otm, his eyes are too far apart. he's kind of like a male justine henin but at least she had skillz to compensate

i call that caving!

I guess it's conceivable that Drake might release a song that won't make me want to hunt and slay but I'm not holding my breath

also, for me anyway, I liked both Katy Perry and Ke$ha from the get-go and didn't start finding them annoying until subsequent songs; there is still a foundation there that is capable of producing songs I really enjoy with both of them, whereas with Drake he basically just ruins songs I otherwise love (yes I am looking at you, "What's My Name")

i'm saying that the drake album MIGHT be good. who knows.

j0rd to be fair you did liveblog the katy album

and i said that half of it was pure shit

yeah i know i'm just saying i can see where lex gets the 'caving in' from

oh

ke$ha is better than shitty drake and shitty katy perry

in what universe

i don't think i would ever listen to this kelly clarkson song again

ke$ha is better than shitty drake and shitty katy perry

yes.

i don't think i would ever listen to this kelly clarkson song again

also yes.

new ke$ha album in may 2012 according to dr lukes twitter

cannibal was released last fall so may 2012 sounds about right

yeah, i really hope she doesnt go down the rock route

dudes i'm pretty pumped about that news

i mean, that means like a half a year with no new ke$ha songs on the radio? that's the dream right there

lol, there could still be more singles of cannibal

sleazy

also, and this is totally aside from his music and wholly irrational, he has the most instantly punchable face I have ever seen on a celebrity

Drake is also Canadian.

before Take Care leaks i'm hoping to distribute a fake tracklist with songs like "Canadians In The Club [ft. Nelly Furtado and Justin Bieber]"
