Sorry if its been mentioned, I didnt see it.. Anybody heard Robyn's version of Jack U Off? I just got it today and its not bad.. kinda whimsical, cute.

Apparently its a UK bonus track to her cd. I dont know much about her, just checked it out for the hell of it..

i remember seeing a live video of it on youtube a while back. kind of interesting/ / to see a woman sing the song (makes a little more sense too , just sayin' ). i remember her from a looong time ago. she had some kind of hit(s: i'm not sure). my cousin had her cd. don't know/remember too much about her. pretty cute though. she likes prince too apparently.

Robyn! Jeeesus, will the record company please stop selling the rights of very good songs to shite artists!? Please!

i hate robyn, she gets right on my tits. i'll give it a listen but arent expecting anything good

After reading her biog - I have to say I disagree i have given her more of my 'ear' time since learning the following she writes catchy little pop numbers - good on her!
Shellshocked by the lack of artistic control offered by her label, however, Robyn migrated to Jive records for her third album, but felt disillusioned by their attempt to ship her to America to be shoehorned into the pre-fabricated Xtina template that was depressingly omnipotent in 2002.
“I think the third record I made was a big compromise,” she says. “I felt like it wasn’t fun anymore. Once you make the record and you give it to the record company, it’s not your record anymore! And I hated that situation. “I was going backwards. I wasn’t doing what I wanted to....Exasperated to the point of resignation, Robyn looked to how her new comrades Karin and Olof self-financed and released their work. In a completely unprecedented move for a mainstream pop artist, Robyn bought herself off her label.
“So then I was free but I was not really happy to go back and sign with a major label again. It was totally illogical. Why would I do that? I felt like either I quit making music or I start my own record company.”
Six months later, Robyn was CEO and founder of Konichiwa Records...“I’m a Gemini maybe that’s what it is!” she exclaims. “Because I am this very outgoing person people think that I’m always sure what I’m gonna do, which I’m not! I always question myself!..Robyn’, in some ways, is emblematic of a move towards a more autonomous pop industry, with artists working creatively in egalitarian partnerships rather than at the behest of a major corporation.
“I think it’s the future,” Robyn enthuses. “I don’t think you’re gonna have big record companies in five years. Even three. They have not adapted to this new world where people download music or don’t buy stuff that they don’t like.
“I think record companies felt like they were immortal. The industry was like WAAAGH,” Robyn beats her tiny chest. “Y’know, we’re The Shit. We can do whatever we want. We have all this money, and you just have to do whatever we tell you to do and you can’t own it.”
Really though, what ‘Robyn’ represents is the story of one ass-kicking little blonde woman who blasted through the industry bullshit and made a startling, profound, honest pop music all of her own.
It is music with one message.
Be your own star.

Ewww, I can't stand that annoying bint. She's got a shit voice, and I don't wanna be shallow, but the girl is NOT easy on the eyes.

Robyn????? That is mighty interesting, gotta take a listen to it

Don't think any of u have actually heard a track from her latest album...
Listen before u comment. She doesnt make the same sh!t as 10 years ago
It's all about taste, and her music was cheesy sh!te 10 years ago, but listen before you open ur mouth. It's not that bad as some of u say

I've heard it. The forum I go to regularly have 90% of the posters obsessed with her. I think she's absolutely hideous.

I just listened to it...and guess what? It's shit. She can't sing and she's so bloody ugly. Why are so many losers on prince.org up this bitch's ass?

"Do You Know What It Takes" and "Show Me Love" were kinda hot back in the day... Doesn't sound like she has much of a voice left... and that "Konichiwa" song is a total Gwen rip-off.

Oh god I don't even wanna hear it.

Shes terrible.

HARD FAIL.

This woman should be arrested for what she did to this song.

It's not even hard to do a decent cover of this. WTH?

I thought I'd be getting something like Janet Jackson doing "Tonight's the Night."

I guess that's what I get for...

She bought "Controversy" and "Dirty mind" from me in my wreccastow,
and a few weeks later her version of "Jack U off" turned up

Not nice. So let's take at your likes...mmm...Aerosmith!?! Yeah, they're stunning aren't they!?! That was just too easy!
Sorry, I don't usually respond to negativity, but Robyn is great and yes, I'm gay but that's nothing to do with it- she writes and performs great pop, she doesn't hold the lube for me.

I wouldn't mind if she was ugly and had some talent, but she doesn't. I don't get why the girl even has a record contract. With people like Britney Spears it's easy to see why. Well, not these days, but you know what I mean.

Compare Robyn's "Eclipse" lyrics with Britneys "Gimme More" and you'll see who has real talent- sorry Britney...

Robyn "Eclipse"

There's an eclipse in your eye
where I used to shine
Every secret untold
is a planet aligned
Don't need prophets or preachers
to make sense of the signs
When the buried and hidden can be seen by the blind

You're right
Some words are just unspoken
So right
Then it all just falls apart

The day I break your heart

I caught my reflection
in the corner of your eye
You said "Don't even ask the question,
and I won't tell the lie"
Where there's no accusation
there's no need for denial
And if you hadn't heard that whisper
there'd be no tear to wipe from your eye

You're right
Some words are best unspoken
So right
Then it all just falls apart

The day I break your heart

Never took no advice
Not the foolish, not the wise
All the truth that I needed
was right there in your smile
Every prophecy written of what's going to be
All beginnings and endings, they're about you and me

You're right
Some words are best unspoken
So right
Until it all just falls apart
You´re right
Some words are best unspoken
So right
Then it all just falls apart

The day I break your heart

hWHy are you desperate for me to like the squeaky voiced annoying bint? Remember Daphne & Celeste? Better voices.

I guess you have your opinion and so on. I hate online arguments- just shocked at your repeated use of the word 'bint' though.
I'm gonna step away from this now...

Have fun.

I'm a misogynistic female! Far too many singers and actresses out there that I'm baffled at their success. I think it's far easier for no-talent women to break into showbusiness and I tend to hold a grudge.
