What'd Paris do?


Paris is trying to get the rights to cover it on her album.

I think I'm gonna be sick sick

I applaud Gnarls for taking the single off the market in the UK. After 9 weeks @ #1, even they thought enough was enough.

Well that must be a bullshit story someone leaked because does she (or anyone else) have to try and get the rights to it....if you cover it on the album, you just give credit and money to the songwriters, right? I didn't think there was any kind of rule about doing a cover. If she does do it, that album is going to be even worse than I thought.

Too late. I already hate that song. It sounds like a commercial for a car or a cell phone.



it really does, though i can't help but love the song anyway. though the ubiquity meter is starting to tick away, and i know i will be tired of them by the end of summer. sad


I saw them on MTV earlier today. I'm getting a bit concerned, now...

Seriously tho i quite like it smile



How can you say that? Because I don't like it and you do, I have no taste? disbelief

Dude how can you not like that song eek wacky



That would be dudette smile But, it's easy to not like. It sounds like a commercial for a car or cell phone or something. shrug I guess I'm old school I like songs that sound like songs not like they're trying to get me to buy something other than the record.



Sorry , dudette i know you can't argue about taste confused

I'm usually not into samples and things at all but i really think the song's crafted well
And i think the singer's great , even better live

You're lost somewhere up your own ass I think. What I like about it is that it's one of the few black songs out there that I would call a song. The lyrics are intelligent, ironic, and C Lo's voice is great. I can maybe see how the one word chorus could grate on some, but I think you guys need to find better things to be annoyed by. James Blunt, maybe?

I don't understand this part. Do you mean the song sounds like lots of music used in commercials or something?

Ok let me make this more plain for you. I don't like the song, for the reasons I stated earlier in this thread. If you do, then great. But don't tell me I'm wrong for not liking what YOU like. K?

Me thinks you are the one who should get their head out of their anal area. In other words stfu

Yes, to me, it sounds like a jingle for a commercial.

On Radio One Live Lounge they get given a choice of 3 songs, and pick one to cover. The three songs are almost always contemporary tracks. So no chance of them doing oldies.

Also, this isn't often mentioned on the show, but I remember when Artic Monkeys were on and did Girls Aloud's Love Machine, they said live on air they really didn't want to do it, but it was the best of those were given to choose from.

I did really like Nelly's version though. She changed bits of the melody...

Also when Franz Ferdinand was on the show they picked Gwen's "What You Waiting For" and did a really good job.

You should see the Jools Holland performance of the song. It's much better than the TOTP one. One of the most powerful performances I've seen on TV in years.

she became a mommy during her FOLKLORE period. you can see her all chubby and glowing in the "say what you want" video. she looked great, tummy poking out of her raincoats and trying to dance with all that baby meat taking up the tv screen lol, when she did the p.r. performances for the song in europe she still had her post-partum body (boobs were HUGE like Dolly Parton), but by the time the soccer-ish song FORCA came out, she lost alllll of her weight like nunthin' ever happened eek
