New thread for no reason
*sticks neck on block*

What's your favourite mainstream pop song of the last ten years? I don't mean the sort of thing Monty would rip the piss out of you for, I mean something anyone would be ashamed to admit to liking in a public forum. Let's see your stones, people.

Mine's either "The Show" by Girls Aloud or "Grace Kelly" by Mika. I've also come to the embarrassing conclusion of late that Rihanna is actually really rather good.

Alt Q - Breasts. Can they ever be too big? What's the cut-off point? Ideal size?

Alt:
Can't be too big or small, as the person they are attached to matters more.

I do like "Happy Ending" by Mika, thought that was a good track.

Also, that "If You Seek Amy" by Britney Spears made me laugh, the fact that no-one picked up on what it said until after it was released, superb.

Alt Q: Yes, too big is a possibility. My last proper girlfriend had some that looked great in a bra, but when taken out they resembled fried eggs nailed to a wall.

That's quite good. Take three points.
Is this the same "19" by Paul Hardcastle that was released in 1989? If you're going back that far surely you could have opted for Yazz and the Plastic Population?

Alt: Yes, they fucking can. Mine are ridiculously fucking large, and show no bastard sign of shrinking. I recently lost over three stone, and they barely even shifted.

actually
I think it's a fucking good cover, at least when they play it live. Whether it should have been a single is definitely debatable though.

EDIT - I assume you mean the cover of "you got the love" ? by the way? It's a good cover because it enhances the original, in that her voice far better conveys the undercurrent of sadness in the song than the original version. IMO.

( girlinthehole, Mon 24 Jan 2011, 11:17, Reply)

Why anyone would opt for that irritating twat's version
when the original is such a great record, I genuinely cannot understand at all. Florence's is at best a passable pastiche. I saw her on 'Jools' (sic) Holland once and she oversings almost as badly as Foghorn Leghorn-alike and male impersonator Heather Small.

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 24 Jan 2011, 11:31, Reply)

But we're saying that it's pointless
it's a good song, covered by a reasonably good singer, but it's not as good as the original. What makes it pointless is taking a song and covering it identically, but not as well.

If you are going to cover a song then you really have two choices. Do what she did, but don't release it as a single and go around singing it on every single fucking stage at Glastonbury, and accept that you are merely paying tribute to a better version, or do something really different with it.

As I've said, I think her own songs are good and if "You got the love" was just a song she liked chucking into her live set, then fine, but the fact that she whored it around the radio as if she had brought something new and different made me want to punch her face.

She is a good singer, but she is not as good a singer as Candi Staton, she has too much vibrato and it's distracting.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 24 Jan 2011, 11:40, Reply)

I still think it's different.
Because my opinion is that the lyrics of the song suggest it is meant to be sadder than the original, and I think she conveys that. And all of what you have said above is completely fair, but it is your opinion, not fact. It wouldn't matter if you were the world's most respected record producer, it would still be opinion, because once you're past technical ability (and I presume you aren't suggesting the woman can't hold a tune?) everything in music is subjective.

muscial ability doesn't affect my ability to differentiate
between different sounds. I didn't say I was tone deaf.

I can detect the difference in the emotion of the song because, y'know, it's an emotion, and I'm a human being.
