Carly Rae Jepsen is a Musical Genius. Aretha Watch out!

She is such a force to be wreckoned with. Her one song CallMe Maybe is greater than Prince and MJ's entire catalog combined. Why do you think beyonce laid low this year? She doesn't want the competition. Smart girl! All Hail the new queen of pop! biggrin

Given that she used to write folk music and can switch to pop shows her actual diversity. I say this at the risk of being dogged off of the forum again. She is awesome!

Everybody keeps saying how well-crafted "Call Me Maybe" is as a pop song, but a few days ago I tried to figure out how to play it on the keyboards and realized how terrible it is as a composition. "Dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-edy-dink". I find it quite funny that the song was essentially produced and mixed by someone that's done a lot of work for industrial rock bands in the past (Dave Ogilvie). I think what he got handed initially was a very poor composition, but he managed to make it the "modern pop classic" that the recording is considered by many by resorting to his tinkering skills.

I like her looks a lot. biggrin

I'm actually somewhat of a fan of her. She's made some good songs between her 3 albums. Call Me Maybe and This Kiss are both great pop songs. This Kiss has a very 80's vibe to me. Also name one other song on top 40 recently that has used (electronically or not) strings?

Well are we talking this year or say.. like past 5 years?

Just within the last 5 years... Coldplay, White Stripes, Kid Cudi, Missy Elliot to name a few also did & had top 10 hits.. hell Viva La Vida was number 1.

And to be fair the use of strings in Call Me Maybe are basic string hits you can find ina free version of garageband or fruity loops lol

Even kanye is guility of that razz

There not even smiple.. there like regular warm up hits a beginer on violin does lol

I think it's cool if someone wants use strings in a song, but if people put guitar or strings in a song nowadays... even if it is just hitting a G Note people go crazy about how different it is lol

Psy is apperently ''controversial'' Because he sang a political song ''Anti-American'' song back in 2004.

He's already controversial for unleashing his reign of terror with that stupid ass song. Needs to take his happy anti-American ass back to Korea...

I'm sure it'll be the Single Of The Year because apparently a song doesn't necessarily have to be great to be song of the year it just has to capture the zietgiest, which it did in spades.

I'm 95% sure it'll land at #1 on Pazz and Jops critics poll.

But psy knows his song is a novelty song, and basically is parodying himself, so this shields him from the shit that Carly Rae would get - it's hard to mock something that's self-mockery.
