Turtle Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 This song is to music what My Immortal is to fan fiction - we can all hope that it will turn out to have been clever self-parody, but in the meantime it's just painful to lay eyes (and ears, in this case) on. Quote
Power Smoothie Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 So what you're saying is I need to write a song about a day of the week Which days are already taken? Quote
Vampire Hunter Dan Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 I'm posting solely to state that I agree 100% with the OP and thread title. Quote
OceansAndrew Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 So a small-time indie music publishing group has pushed a song that isn't really good? And some of you guys are acting shocked and outraged? This happens all the time, it's not a big deal, and if she ends up having a pop music career that gets large enough to impact any of your lives, it'll be several years from now, not in the immediate future. It is funny that her song is a new meme, but to say that this is indicative of the pop music market as a whole is pretty off base. The music of the song itself is catchy, but the engineering is nothing special, and those actual lyrics would never have made it past the label QA if it was a major. There is a difference between ironically trying to be bad (Ke$ha and the like), and legitimately being too green to write good lyrics. tldr: the song isn't good, but you guys are being silly. Quote
Cyril the Wolf Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Oh, its an indie thing? I thought it was a major-label subsidy. Carry on. Still if she has had 3 years of vocal lessons I'm sad. Quote
Nonamer Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Oh, its an indie thing? I thought it was a major-label subsidy. Carry on. Still if she has had 3 years of vocal lessons I'm sad. The real question is who gave the voice lessons to her in the first place? Quote
Ramaniscence Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 There is a difference between ironically trying to be bad (Ke$ha and the like), and legitimately being too green to write good lyrics. Fucking LOVE Ke$ha. Quote

Ramaniscence Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 She probably smells like rotten bacon and warm flat beer. Sounds like a typical Saturday morning for me. Quote
Arcana Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 So what you're saying is I need to write a song about a day of the week I think you have to be a moderately attractive 14-year old girl. Quote
Fishy Posted March 18, 2011 Author Posted March 18, 2011 I think you have to be a moderately attractive 14-year old girl. Please. You just need to write lyrics with real depth that people can relate to, right Rebecca? Quote
Otakatt Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 I didn't realize it was an indie thing, myself, which does put some stuff in perspective. But she's still putting herself out there so she's going to get criticism, from people here and from others. That's just a (sometimes very unfortunate) fact. You do something, you're gonna get judged on it on the internets. Although I think some people (in general, not here) need to cool it. She *is* just a kid so there's such a thing as going too far. I heard her sing in an interview without auto tune, and while I'm still not moved or anything she sounds better without the overuse of auto tune. Why they saturated the song with auto tune is beyond me. Quote
Benjamin Briggs Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 can I please continue believing that ke$ha is just really really horrible please don't ruin this for me Quote
