rolling pop in 2009 thread

actually "ego" was going to be the second single but r&b/urban radio started playing "diva" a lot so they made that the second single

hmmmm

dude i have not even listened to "ego," "smash into you" or "scared of lonely" since like october. do you really think they'd make something that was essentially a b-side a single?

"disappear" is really good. the bridge is just amazing, it kills me every time. i kind of wish she made a whole song around that hook.

i see what you're saying regarding radio play and "halo" jordan, but i still think it's a great song. among many other things that make it great, bey's inflections on the titular word are just :-O

"ego" is great but way too vintage to be a hit on modern radio - would be like sharon jones going top 10 or something

yeah im listening to "smash" right now, and it's nothing special at all, i'd be really disappointed if it was a single.

i think to some extent "ego" and "if i were a boy" are just a little too out of place in radio right now, if you imagine it sandwiched in between "just dance" and "single ladies" and "heartless" and "turnin me on" etc. kinda just not of the right tempo/mood nowadays i think

"ego" is a nice song, but for what the lyrics are, the rest of it is kind of toothless, no? "radio" and "disappear" are the best choices, where is lex to back me up

i mean he's sleeping obv but you feel

I dunno, "Ego" is very anthemic... even if the production isn't very 'modern,', I could see it being big (if not on Pop it'll definitely do well on R&B... everyone I know loves it). I can't hear "Disappear" on the radio.

IT'S TOO BIIIIIG
IT'S TOO WIIIIIIIIIIDE
IT'S TOO STROOONG
IT WON'T FIIIIT
IT'S TOOO MUUUUCH
IT'S TOO TOUGH
HE TALK LIKE THIS 'CUZ HE CAN BACK IT UP
HE GOT A BIG....

EGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
SUCH A HUGE EGOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I LOVE HIS BIG EEEEEGGGGGOOOOOOOO

dude there's always a place for a ballad on the radio. all im saying is if they're going to do the double single thing again, it would make the most sense to go with "radio" and "disappear" (ie banger + ballad), which after all are actually on the album proper

well, they did do that with "diva" and "halo"

and "single ladies" and "if i were a boy" !!!!

have either of you hear lady gaga's album? I'm kind of curious about it lol

I'm not sure if I love or hate "poker face" ... like it's so awful but it's so.... good?

haha i havent knowingly heard a single lady gaga song tbh.

lex' rants scared me away

yeah my school's paper got sent the album when "just dance" was still bubbling and kind of exciting and i dont remember anything about it besides thinking that nothing was at all as good as "just dance" but there are a few good house-for-12-year-olds songs, but i dont remember which

i'm def the biggest "just dance" backer on ilx- song is fucking huge imo

yes that synthline is so massive. you should listen to that at least k3vin

here's my take on just dance, from the gaga thread

i think "just dance" is an all time banger but i dont know if i care much about gaga herself. i think the song is extremely well-written in terms of getting across the feeling of being really fucked up and not caring about anything but dancing. you don't really hear lyrics as straightforward as "I love this record baby but I can't see straight anymore/ Keep it cool, what's the name of this club?/ I can't remember but it's alright, a-alright" on pop radio and i think that's the song's biggest strength, esp. compared to awfully generic shit like "hot n cold" and "womanizer"

it's the same reason why that veronicas song sticks out to me besides being sonically bonkers. "i feel so untouched right now" is arresting in the same manner to me as "i love this record baby but i can't see straight anymore"

i'm also totally behind "blame it" aka T-PAIN STILL RULES THE WORLD

i wish i still lived in a city w/ a rap/r&b station

we get sent like all def jam albums (i think) but that's about it. it's a pretty antiquated system since obv no one in college needs a physical advance copy of albums in order to review them

this demi lovato single sounds dope - avril can step back

btw im liveblogging me listening to 30 second clips of the itunes top 100

'stanky legg" sounds sufficiently dope, i must learn the dance right
