September 22, 201113 yr Well......it's better than Swagger Jagger. Like someone texted to Radio 1 though-why does she always have to use the word 'swag'? I know no one who says that in real life.
September 24, 201113 yr This is a lot better than "Swagger Jagger". So is genital warts but still, I'd like to think it could outperform SJ but that would have to mean it going to #1 which it still doesn't really deserve.
September 24, 201113 yr I don't mind this but I prefer Swagger Jagger, it's not a patch on Superhero either, I think the Mike Posner feature is a bit pointless, in the sense that he kinda contributes nothing and he's not exactly a big name any more :lol: I'm unsure whereabouts this will chart atm, I think it could do a Thinking of Me
September 24, 201113 yr You know, you have these ideas about pop music and what makes good pop music. Be it the big; image, styling, videos, press or the more subtle nuances such as vocal flourishes, turns of phrases in lyrics or a bit of witty repartee in an interview. Cher Lloyd single-highhandedly manages to make an art-form out of doing these things to the very worst of her and "her team's" ability. What is she supposed to MEAN as a popstar? Where is it all going? With your standard X-Factor fodder you tend to get malignant inoffensiveness but here you have a character who has been crafted and mutated into something that was supposed to have character and be contextual but somehow DERAILED and all went wrong. It's almost as if this is some 50 year old HAS-BEEN A&R exec's NOTION of what is "credible" and "cool" and what represents the youth today when in fact it's a grandiose, gluttonous and entirely unrealistic snapshot. There's minimal longevity here and is the perfect example of a popstar made for the social networking generation; divisive, instantly relevant, instantly disposable. Her first record will sell a respectable amount, the second record will flop, she'll become develop a hunger for fame and infamy (which I'm sure sits within her already) and eventually develop a drug habit. It's so obviously foreseeable. In a way I feel quite sorry for her because she's become part of and so in-tune the system that will ultimately destroy her.
September 27, 201113 yr Does this song sample something? Or has the producer just copied one of his existing melodies?... it sounds so familiar to me.
September 27, 201113 yr Does this song sample something? Or has the producer just copied one of his existing melodies?... it sounds so familiar to me. This. I've definitely heard it before. I quite like this, maybe just slightly less that Swagger Jagger as that was an 'anthem' :lol: :wub: Musically it's alot better and that riff that goes through the song (you know what I mean) is fantastic. It's sweet and satisfying and nice to listen to but I can't ever see myself loving it.
September 27, 201113 yr I've heard a lot of comparisons to Paper Planes by M.I.A., maybe that's what you're thinking of? But it's niggling in my head too - and it's not Paper Planes! Gonna annoy me for AGES! Swagger Jagger was so much better than this. Yes, really. THIS. I love both but SJ is honestly a lot better.
September 27, 201113 yr This is like 'Paper Planes' mixed with 'Cupid's Chokehold' by Gym Class Heroes for me :lol: I think I prefer this to 'Swagger Jagger' at the moment.
September 27, 201113 yr After a 2nd listen I prefer it to Swagger Jagger! Hopefully it can do better and she won't get as much hate with the release of 'With Ur Love'.
September 28, 201113 yr Just remember that Paper Planes was nearly 100% The Clash's input. Very little else.
September 28, 201113 yr Author http://itunes.apple.com/gb/preorder/with-u...ner/id466783136 You can now pre order it on itunes! :) The video is out on saturday!
September 30, 201113 yr There's a video of her doing an acoustic version at Real Radio on DigitalSpy at the minute. Really good for a live off-the-cuff performance. ^_^
September 30, 201113 yr Author gy-KEVnlE20 Live acoustic verison of 'With Ur Love' :wub: :wub: Cant wait too see the music video tomorrow! :)
September 30, 201113 yr This is so growing on me, hopefully I'll really love it when the video comes out!
