Worst. Song. Ever.

She did an acoustic cover to prove she can actually sing.

Even if she sang like Ella in her spare time, that song is still as air-headed, formulaic, boring and ugly as anything I've heard.

Still, there are plenty of kids with no taste. I can't quite remember why but I was right into Slade at her age, which also ticked all the wrong boxes. There's no accounting for taste!
 
You don't get a contract if things aren't perfect ... but you'll get it if you write machine-perfect trendy, formulaic vacuous tripe that resonates with people raised on a diet of self absorbed reality TV and Facebook "everyday celebrities".
Or if you look ok but can't sing, a team of "skilled" technicians will find you a voice using the wonders of modern technology.
 
With all due respect, Slade were brilliant. :)

lol - "brilliant" might be a bit strong. Get Down and Get With It had some kind of primal charm but I can't listen to them now. Noddy's voice grates me like fingernails on a blackboard.

But 40 years ago I thought the sun shone out of their bums :)

Well, I'll let you guys be the judges, can she disprove her critics?

Not really the point though. Even if she has the greatest voice ever, she let that song come out making her sound like a computer, and like Poly said, it doesn't save the song from being lame.

Yeah. When I heard this song, I was amazed how many hits THAT PIECE OF CRAP got in a month. It's really disappointing to see the "music" world fall this low. The most frustrating thing is seeing people (mostly the younger generation) support stuff like this. I don't even know why. I guess they just lack knowledge of anything musical, or just don't care about art anymore. I mean, I can understand dance music, but I have people tell me all the time that the most important part of the song is the lyrics. I'm not trying to say that lyrics aren't important, but let's be honest. How many great bands are out there that don't even have a singer? The most important part of the music is the MUSIC!! But nobody cares anymore, and we end up with Rebecca Black "singing" with her "band" with all the instruments and the vocals processed several times through a computer to the point where it's not even them anymore. Okay, enough ranting. I just want to say, I agree with you completely!!!

For the record, I am pretty sure the only reason it has so many views is because it is so damn awful. Sure there probably a few little girls who like it, but I don't think for one minute the reason this has so many views is because a majority of people think its great.


Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday...


The lyrics to the bridge are priceless.

Wow. I'm not sure if the auto-tune was better.

It's not that her voice is horrifically out of tune, but auto-tune flattened off the nasal singing quite effectively.
 
I was going to say Achy Brakey Heart until Frost put up that finger nalis on a black board voiced bag. people get cut from music auditions daily that sing better than that. That was just dreadful. Frost you are suspended. Now go to your room

.

Then how do you explain the millions of sales on iTunes of the song? People tend to not buy songs they dislike.

Bottom line.................this is a teeny bopper tune. Nuthing more.

Didn't say it made it better, was just adding some insult to injury, when I heard that acoustic cover I thought... how the hell did the original get worse.
 
The saddest part is that this crap is not much worse than actual pop-radio dreck.

Seriously, I heard this and Tik Tok almost back-to-back to day, disgustingly similar. The worst part is that I know people who sing the praises of Kesha and in the same breath insult Friday.

I hate this world.
 
and Slade :)

Mama Weer All Crazee Now

I don't want to drink my whisky like you do

Don't stop now a c-'mon
Another drop now c-'mon

That's right

I said Mama but we're all crazy now
I said Mama but we're all crazy now

Cum On Feel The Noize

Baby, baby baby!

So you think I got on evil mind,
Well I'll tell you honey,
And I don't know why,
And I don't know why.

So you think my singing's out of time,
Well it makes me money,
And I don't know why,
And I don't know why, anymore - oh no.

So cum on feel the noize,
Girls grab the boys
We get wild, wild, wild
We get wild, wild, wild

So cum on feel the noize,
Girls grab the boys
We get wild, wild, wild at your door.

So you think I got a funny face,
I ain't got no worries
And I don't know why,
And I don't know why,

So I'm a scruff bag well it's no disgrace,
I ain't in no hurry
And I don't know why
I just don't know why, anymore - oh no.

So cum on feel the noize,
Girls grab the boys
We get wild, wild, wild
We get wild, wild, wild

So cum on feel the noize,
Girls grab the boys
We get wild, wild, wild at your door.

So you think we have a lazy time,
Well you should know better
And I don't know why,
I just don't know why.

And you say I got a dirty mind,
Well I'm a mean go getter
And I don't know why,
And I don't know why, anymore - oh no.

So cum on feel the noize,
Girls grab the boys
We get wild, wild, wild
We get wild, wild, wild...
