Calvin Harris should stop making music immediately

Hey, that Dizzee track is quite good. Calvin Harris revival starts here.

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.

Dizzee or Calvin? I'm not sure either are obvious MBV opening acts

Calvin. Dizzee I've seen already, great show.

And what's with the Peter Beardsley do?

i like his production for seb/roisin's "off & on" much more than i like "dance wiv me"

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?"

I still like "Dance Wiv Me".

dont mind this song anymore but the hook lets it down a lot.

ned YOU ARE FUCKING KIDDING ME - this guy is opening up for MBV in LA??!?!?!

a fucking travesty.

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?

... for whom he wrote (insert song title here) for (Insert answer here) on a notepad he nicked from school twenty two years ago!

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.

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.

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.

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)

Why is this Dizzee's first number one rather than the BUGSY MALONE ONE?

People have taste in their arse.

How soon we forget Band Aid 20.

^^This is true, so very true.

Band Aid 20 I excluded on compassionate grounds.

Giving a little help to the helpless

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

^^Hahaha

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.

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?

surely not all of them

new song is the bomb imo B-)

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.

i thought this was gonna be refreshed because he stopped making music.

with a number one solo single, you'd better brace for more.

are there some hott remixes of this

haha the lyrics are so dum

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

this is just classic big room superemotional dance music ...?

Yo Deej you were right about this. Heard it on the radio yesterday. Big tune!

I keep trying to remember how this goes and then realise I'm thinking of "Bonkers" instead.

why, why does he sing

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?

or Ian Van Dahl, he had a nice voice. very feminine...

Ian Van Dahl is female.

deej was so right about this
