July 5, 200916 yr Don't be so precious about it, I'd still be saying the same regardless of who it was up against. It's just an awful song, and I feel the criticism is deserved. I'm not i'm not keen on Evacuate the dancefloor either. Like most people have said its not their best and even i a cascada fan wanted MJ number 1 :D
July 5, 200916 yr I'm not i'm not keen on Evacuate the dancefloor either. Like most people have said its not their best and even i a cascada fan wanted MJ number 1 :D ... so why so emotional about the criticism directed towards it? :lol:
July 5, 200916 yr ... so why so emotional about the criticism directed towards it? :lol: Good question. Maybe because i like cascada in general :lol:
July 5, 200916 yr Good question. Maybe because i like cascada in general :lol: I like Casada in general as well. :lol: I only don't like the problem that most of their singles are similar in structure and all that. But tbh, those were my guilty pleasures. :blush: EDIT: Oh, also that includes that they are covers. :lol: Edited July 5, 200916 yr by FM11
July 5, 200916 yr I like Casada in general as well. :lol: I only don't like the problem that most of their singles are similar in structure and all that. But tbh, those were my guilty pleasures. :blush: I do hope they do prove all these haters wrong though if natalie and the guys would do more of those candlelight versions and slow songs that on everytime we touch the album because those show her vocals off perfectly. The only reason i find why people hate them so much is because there music is the same, it don't change key or rhythm and that they are mostly covers well not all of them :D Edited July 5, 200916 yr by Beat It Rob!!
July 5, 200916 yr Cascada should be ashamed of themselves. Hopefully this will mean they will retire from music... Okay i'm only saying that for my own lols, but in all seriousness it's a bit rubbish that this $h!te song can get to #1, whilst Everytime We Touch (which is a great pop song...) couldn't.
July 5, 200916 yr Hey - that is a bit OTT! :angry: I'd say he was bang on. I wish this agressive critisism of cascada would stop already. Fair enough you don't like them and all and find them crap but i hate seeing this all the freeking time. The only reason why people are giving the biggest stick of them so far being this week is because they were up against the king of pop and song wise and acts wise yeah ok they are not a touch on MJ as of greatness but at least they've done some good records unlike some artists plus Natalie can purely sing amazingly without the dance stuff. Hardly. Cascada were never that well regarded anyway were they? My dislike of it certainly has nothing to do with MJ; it's another reason but not the cause. I HATED Everytime We Touch, and I was aghast when they murdered Truly Madly Deeply, which is one of my favourite songs of all time.
July 5, 200916 yr Cascada reaching number 1 in the week after Michael Jackson's death is a crime against humanity!!!! someone should pay for this!!!!
July 5, 200916 yr Agree with this. Cascada is something of an 8th wonder. These types of novelty come and go very quickly yet SOMEHOW this undisputed rubbish just seems to get more popular, not less. All their songs sound EXACTLY the same! Are you dissing this? :o FN3eEzLSlKY :kink:
July 5, 200916 yr Author Are you dissing this? :o FN3eEzLSlKY :kink: Pet Shop Boys wrote that, and also they did a cover of that track.

If the same song had been sung by Madonna, Kylie, or any american pop diva, the whole BJ pop community would be raving about it... I am not a big fan of manufactured pop-dance hits like this, but musically i can´t be considered inferior then the average Madonna/Kylie hits, and as a vocalist, I think Cascada´s girl is at the same level, if nor higher, then Kylie/Madonna/Britney/Rihanna (which isn´t that hard, since they´re all mediocre at best...). At least, she doesn´t label herself a "solo" artist - despite being the only one who appears, people know that she is just a part of the music team. Unlike other "solo" singers who put minimal effort in making their own music.
July 6, 200916 yr Plus she's gorgeous! :naughty: :wub: She's extremely beautiful. If you've a 'thing' for sex changes from northern council estates.
July 6, 200916 yr I think Cascada´s girl is at the same level, if nor higher, then Kylie/Madonna/Britney/Rihanna is that with or without the speeded-up chipmunk vocals? :rolleyes: :lol: Like it or not, Cascada has always been the bottom end of music.... and always will be. It's Eurocheesy chav music for kids who think they like 'dance music' because they own a few 'Now That's What I Call Dance' compilations or because their mates play it on their Ford Escort stereos. Naff beyond words..... truly the lowest of the low.

July 6, 200916 yr She's extremely beautiful. If you've a 'thing' for sex changes from northern council estates. now that actually out little britained everything else in one swoop :)
July 6, 200916 yr Naff beyond words..... truly the lowest of the low. And that´s what I say: the same level as Kylie, Madonna or Rihanna. Hardly any of them will ever be taken serious as music makers. The difference is, Cascada doesn´t have the same celebrity status. But musically, they are the same $h!t.
July 6, 200916 yr I don´t know what´s the shock about Cascada being # 1 in UK... As if "cheesy" was something forbidden to be #1 in this country. In fact, it´s the rule... Madonna has spent 1/4th of a century having Top 5 hits back-to-back while her vocal range is poorer then many amateur singers, her lyrics seem to be written by a 12 years old girl, and she had like 2 or 3 worth songs, out of 5 thousand releases... but then, she´s a global icon. What about Kylie? In her peak during the 80´s, her musical "credibility" would make Cascada look like Beethoven in comparison, as she was considered a mere puppet in the hands of Pete Waterman, Mike Stock and Matt Aitken, just like loads of other futile teenage acts who disappeared. Then she decided to make an "adult" album in the 90´s that bombed so hard it seems that not even her close relatives have bought it. That would have been it for her, if it wasn´t for a manufactured pop-disco comeback in the 2000´s with "Can´t Get You Out Of My Head", and ever since then she´s been repeating the same formular over and over and over and over, just with less and less commercial sucess (of course the public had to get tired someday...). But that doesn´t stops her from having 7 UK #1´s. And don´t even get me started with Britney...
July 7, 200916 yr What an amazing era TT have had with Circus! If it wasnt for MJ, the album would be no6!!
July 7, 200916 yr What an amazing era TT have had with Circus! If it wasnt for MJ, the album would be no6!! Andy - thanks for trying to steer this away from all the Cascada-bashing! For heaven's sake - Cascada is number 1 - it isn't world politics. Will this matter in five years time - NO - so it doesn't matter now! Norma By the way - apart from a few songs at first - I really wasn't keen on The Circus if I'm honest ... but having now seen the tour ... it IS a good album. I think you have to see TT live shows to appreciate them fully - until people do - they'll be universally unaccepted. Well on BJ anyway! :lol: Edited July 7, 200916 yr by Norma_Snockers

But that doesn´t stops her from having 7 UK #1´s. And don´t even get me started with Britney... No shock at all, Stagey. The UK chart book is littered with embarrassment, though you could mention worse offenders than Madonna and Kylie. How about every X Factor winner's first chart topper, Robson & Jerome, Comic Relief and charity songs in general? However accusing some areas in music of being manufactured is just plain dishonest. Every genre gets marketed to the public one way or another and every act is just as manufactured no matter the amount of talent at stake. Putting Kylie and Madonna on the same level may be questionable, putting both on the same level as Cascada is just comedy. No one with a functioning ears set can deny that "Kylie the puppet" has delivered moments of sheer pop brilliance, no matter how patchy and inconsistent her career. And yes, she IS credible in what she does (in fact the one time she didn't sound credible was when she teamed with JD Bradfield). Besides, for all her misteps, how can you put something like Slow and 2 Hearts back to back and claim that she is repeating the same formula? as for Madonna, she may have become a lousy character but could you honestly save only 2 or three songs of hers? Then tell us, who does pop the way it should be done? Edited July 7, 200916 yr by Twisted Tender
