yeah I only really decided to start contributing to the Jukebox recently because I'm so routinely horrified by the general scores/reviews that I wanted to at least be a voice of dissent when everybody gets it wrong.

i love 'supervillain' but i still love 'whatever u like' even more
what was the track w/the hawaiian name like in the end? i never bothered to hear it.
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 17 February 2009 20:45 (fifteen years ago) link
blindfold me >>>>>>>> whatever u like
― i brings that levity (The Brainwasher), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 20:45 (fifteen years ago) link
the hawaiian track is "puakenikeni" or something like that, it sucked

actually relistening to it it's not that bad

that song is kinda worthless post-calabria 2007 huh?
what was the song she did w/ t.i.? that one was good
― big fatass rick ross (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 20:49 (fifteen years ago) link
that was "whatever u like", and it was just a less good version of kelis' "blindfold me"
― i brings that levity (The Brainwasher), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 20:50 (fifteen years ago) link
it had an incredible video though - she was on some ring type shit there. her terrifying stare in the pool scene, the body contortions, the hot coals
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 17 February 2009 20:54 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah the video was hot
― i brings that levity (The Brainwasher), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 20:55 (fifteen years ago) link
whatever u like >>>> blindfold me, imo
― brainless popcorn (some dude), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 20:56 (fifteen years ago) link
I still don't get why her solo career was such a failure, I mean she was totally set up to be massive
― i brings that levity (The Brainwasher), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 20:56 (fifteen years ago) link
I still don't get why she attempted a solo career, given that PCD is essentially her solo vehicle and was already massive
― brainless popcorn (some dude), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 20:58 (fifteen years ago) link
her last name is hard to pronounce

loll
i remember when she performed "whatever u like" at a vmas PRE-SHOW
― big fatass rick ross (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 20:59 (fifteen years ago) link
the way Wayne filled in for T.I. and did a whole new remix verse (that AFAIK was never released as a studio version) was pretty cool.
― brainless popcorn (some dude), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 21:00 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah with lil wayne, that was kind of hot
anyway glad Keri Hilson got a hit finally so people can stop using this:

― i brings that levity (The Brainwasher), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 21:01 (fifteen years ago) link
ya im pretty sure he just freestyled it - it was funny too because id doubt scherzinger knew what he was going to do and he started rapping about sex and he started grinding on her and she had to pretend to be like really into getting spontaneously humped by lil wayne
― big fatass rick ross (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 21:02 (fifteen years ago) link
wayne doesn't freestyle dude
― brainless popcorn (some dude), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 21:03 (fifteen years ago) link
too soon - should've been after two PCD albums...as big as they were she wasn't well-established enough, wasn't perceived to have paid her dues.
t.i.'s verse on 'whatever u like' is pure, raw sex.
i'm listening to it b2b with 'blindfold me' now - i thought they were on a similar level at the time but wow, listening back 'whatever u like' is so ridiculously far ahead. kelis sounds strained and vaguely wheezy compared to nicole's whiplash agility.
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 17 February 2009 21:05 (fifteen years ago) link
oh yeah another reason for 'whatever u like's superiority is obv t.i. being fine & sexy rather than nas talking about hugh grant
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 17 February 2009 21:06 (fifteen years ago) link
talking of hilson, this is still my favourite cut by her, and i'm still sure it was meant for scherzinger
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 17 February 2009 21:08 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah t.i.'s verse is sexy - "eat it beat 'til it's swollen/you 'gon need an ice pack" jesus! but kelis still winz though because... she's Kelis!
― i brings that levity (The Brainwasher), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 21:09 (fifteen years ago) link
yess "Hands and Feet" is massive... my fave Keri is "Where Did He Go?" though.
― i brings that levity (The Brainwasher), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 21:10 (fifteen years ago) link
t.i. is reeeally nasty on that justin leak "if i"
― big fatass rick ross (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 21:11 (fifteen years ago) link
okay listening to both "whatever you like" is better - i concede.

sean garret is so gay I swear, he has written like every 'bad bitch' anthem of the past 5 years
― i brings that levity (The Brainwasher), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 21:13 (fifteen years ago) link
I should start a sean garrett appreciation thread

ya "whatever u like" is crazy - too bad that beat got wasted
― big fatass rick ross (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 21:14 (fifteen years ago) link
lol t.i. didn't even show up for the video shoot
oh i guess that's him in the box :/
sean garrett probably is gay. who isn't?
his fail of a solo career is lol too
― big fatass rick ross (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 21:15 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah he did he's in the video she's all on him
― i brings that levity (The Brainwasher), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 21:15 (fifteen years ago) link
yes his solo career is a big LOL
i can't hold Garrett's hubris against him, when The-Dream and Ryan Leslie are releasing albums and having solo hits, who's to tell him his voice isn't good enough or he's not handsome enough to be an artist?
― brainless popcorn (some dude), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 21:26 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah you're right

Fuck that madrigal shit – this is how you make a tone poem.

kinda doubt it, considering it was originally released as part of the "In the Mix" OST way back in '05!

was gonna put this in the vacuous pop thread, but in the interests of saving teh zinger from undead cassiedom --
rather than once again scrutinizing the secretly interesting thing inside the trojan horse of tim's pussycat dolls analogy, i was thinking wouldn't it be more illuminating to assess the contours and grain of the horse itself? (cos yknow, generally speaking troy fell in like 2001 amirite.) because without the dolls scherzinger is nothing, yet with them one wagers even her rankest flop mightve gained chart purchase, however counterintuitively ('i hate this part' being just as first person intimate as 'supervillain', for instance).
putting aside the eye candy canard for a sec, i'd venture that the dolls manage to diffuse the scherzinger signal without diluting it, creating like an acephalous zone of pop crowdscene that opens up an avenue into the songs that avoids the intimidating one-to-one r&b artist eye contact poetix the lone scherzinger implies. but then in a sense the horse isn't trojan at all, because everyone knows by now that the dolls do nothing whatsoever; an in-joke turned outward. if the boundaries of that zone, then, are already explicitly agreed upon by all parties, the dolls become something more like a visual autotune for scherzinger - an accepted gimmick vehicle for extremes of emotion, that the listener also employs for it to be enjoyable.
in breaking that contract, and provoking a backlash against her supposed hubris, scherzinger solo was bound to fail really. what i *think* mightve worked is if she'd first done a big cover ballad that didn't necessarily depend on establishing a brand new her, but would still be just too silly if it was a pcd group session. 'save the best for last', i'm telling you!! but oh well.

has anyone else come around to loving the Diddy single she did? i mean i liked it at first but i gradually got really into it.
― LMA.O. Scott (some dude), Thursday, 19 February 2009 15:10 (fifteen years ago) link
i didn't even realize until looking at wiki just now that Scherzinger had several sizeable solo hits in the UK. that didn't happen at all in the US, never got any real visibility outside of the Pussycat Dolls.
― ςὖτ ιτ Οὖτ (some dude), Friday, 23 May 2014 15:40 (nine years ago) link
she replaced cheryl cole as an x factor judge and came across pretty well i think
the uk has really become this dumping ground for american flops to rebuild their career because britishers have no clue. then we give them back to you! hence iggy azalea happening.
