the dude on the hook is the worst part about it actually

I'm seeing this guy open for MBV in three months. Hm.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 9 July 2008 20:56 (fifteen years ago) link
Dizzee or Calvin? I'm not sure either are obvious MBV opening acts
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 9 July 2008 21:01 (fifteen years ago) link
Hey, that Dizzee track is quite good. Calvin Harris revival starts here.
-- Ismael Klata, Wednesday, July 9, 2008 9:51 PM
I disagree. Dizzee's vocal is phoned in, he switches between generic "electro" and generic "Indian" music in a way that just sounds lazily tacked-together, his own vocal is a cringe-worthy... it sucks, basically.
― Bodrick III, Wednesday, 9 July 2008 21:07 (fifteen years ago) link
Calvin. Dizzee I've seen already, great show.

And what's with the Peter Beardsley do?
― Bodrick III, Wednesday, 9 July 2008 21:12 (fifteen years ago) link
i like his production for seb/roisin's "off & on" much more than i like "dance wiv me"
― Keaney Tong, Wednesday, 9 July 2008 22:01 (fifteen years ago) link
I just noticed Dizzee confessing that he'll "feel like a wally" if he doesn't pursue this girl - how can you hate that?

thought this said Calvin Johnson at first, thought "well, i agree, but it's too late now, isn't it?"
― some dude, Thursday, 10 July 2008 13:38 (fifteen years ago) link
I still like "Dance Wiv Me".
― zeus, Thursday, 10 July 2008 15:59 (fifteen years ago) link
dont mind this song anymore but the hook lets it down a lot.
― titchyschneiderMk2, Thursday, 10 July 2008 16:39 (fifteen years ago) link
ned YOU ARE FUCKING KIDDING ME - this guy is opening up for MBV in LA??!?!?!
a fucking travesty.
― BATTAGS, Friday, 11 July 2008 04:01 (fifteen years ago) link
The album's success led to him working with the likes of Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Kylie Minogue, for whom he wrote the forthcoming single In My Arms in his bedroom on a 15-year-old computer.
does this blurb annoy anyone else as much as it annoys me?

i think this bears repeating:
"They have offered about £750 in compensation," said the spokeswoman.
"You can't really put a price on something like a new record."
Er, around £750 then? Also, hahaha that's fuck-all.

Dope zinging from British Airways officials, there.
― Noodle Vague, Friday, 11 July 2008 12:17 (fifteen years ago) link
i think it's kinda funny how calvin harris is all "give me praise! how come people aren't talking about my involvement in the new dizzee single!" and it's like, well, cos no one likes you and we'd rather forget that you wrote some okay beats for once. plus dizzee's been reeling from his mercury music prize for so long, it's nice to see the fella doing well with one of his less-good singles. whatever, i'm just bitter cos apparently i look like calvin harris.
― horses, Friday, 11 July 2008 12:43 (fifteen years ago) link
But he gets all the girls, he gets all the girls! Yeah Calvin is pretty shocking but he's not as shocking as plenty of other artists. I say he should stop making music progressively and then quit altogether.
― VeronaInTheClub, Friday, 11 July 2008 15:03 (fifteen years ago) link
i went to a gig of his at the astoria earlier this year. it was SHOCKINGLY terrible.
(and i felt about 63 years old, which admittedly didn't help)
― CharlieNo4, Friday, 11 July 2008 15:09 (fifteen years ago) link
Why is this Dizzee's first number one rather than the BUGSY MALONE ONE?
People have taste in their arse.

Dizzee will never top 'I Luv U'. Calvin will never top losing his laptop.

But peoples; "There won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time (OH I WONDER WHY THE FUCK THERE WOULDN'T BE SNOW ON A CONTINENT THATS GOES THROUGH THE EQUATOR) Do they know its Christmas time at all?" Sorry that line always fucks me up. I change my mind, Harris must quit but also Geldof should suffer somehow.
― VeronaInTheClub, Friday, 11 July 2008 15:39 (fifteen years ago) link
Don't get me started on the lyrics of Feed the World, it's disgustingly glib and misleading. And how about all that snow on the top of all the mountains in Africa?
― chap, Friday, 11 July 2008 15:52 (fifteen years ago) link
surely not all of them
― blueski, Friday, 11 July 2008 16:10 (fifteen years ago) link
new song is the bomb imo B-)
― twitty milk (deej), Tuesday, 27 January 2009 08:11 (fifteen years ago) link
thought the new single was awful, but kind of coming around to it as i'm forced to listen to it once an hour at work. funny that I first heard it and thought 'how embarrassing, this is gonna tank'. shows what i know.
― The Devil's Avocado (Gukbe), Wednesday, 15 April 2009 00:21 (fifteen years ago) link
i thought this was gonna be refreshed because he stopped making music.
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 15 April 2009 00:23 (fifteen years ago) link
with a number one solo single, you'd better brace for more.

the very first time i heard it i was convinced it was the worst piece of music i had or ever would hear
and now its just kind of average and i cant bring back those deep feelings of loathing and i don't know where they came from

― Hard House SugBanton (blueski), Tuesday, 12 May 2009 14:06 (fourteen years ago) link
Yes this is a worthy question to ask. His vocals actually work on "Dance Wiv Me" because he's playing middling everyman, but here it's just like, can you please replace your sonky moaning with the girl from Fragma's "Toca's Miracle" so we can properly get down to business?
