Mrs C's Pop Nightmares - Week 4

[Mrs_C]

Hi guys

So I have been away for a bit so apologies. I have not forgotten you. In-fact this is the 1st of a double bill.

So back in the days of yore a bit before yesteryear but after colonial times....there was a band. A band who were not too famous but were plugging along doing collaborations with the likes of Macy Grey.

Then in 2003 they added a female 'singer' and what followed could be directly linked to a chain of events which may still result in the death of popular music, however lets rewind back to 2003 when they crafted this pop gem.

And gosh darn it if Will.I.Am even sounds legit.

Oh side note. They didn't use new singer Fergie for the main hook. That was left to Justin Timberlake. Hmmmmm.

I am The Curmudgeon. I am discussing the Black Eyed Peas on the Fortress of Solitude. I am doing so in a favourable light.



And yet, here we are. And hey, if the BEP created pop songs like this for the entirety of their run I would be a massive fan, instead of wishing death by snake insertion on all of them.

Fact is - they didn't. For whatever reason, they embraced auto-tune to the ridiculous point where it sounded like a bunch of fax machines being raped. And oh yeah, they replaced "tunes" with increasingly pathetic, bordering on self-parody lyrics and lazy, stolen samples.

But this? This is very good.

A very brave post, wife o' mine.

Nope. Still crap. Not as bad, but crap that doesn't stink as much is still crap.
