j u k e d . c o m – [Can’t Get You Outta My Head]
it’s a bit of a gross story, but it’s quite hilarious. I’ve been posting a lot of stories about kylie minogue in recent weeks… can you blame me?! how cool is it that a kylie, whom I totally loved when I was 10 years old is suddenly hot again?! And, quite frankly, she’s a breath of fresh air in this stagnant pop music scene. Pop music is trying so hard to be substantial and “expressive” these days — refer to Britney’s “I’m not a girl…” fiasco, mariah carey’s last couple of albums and jarnet jackson’s latest — that it’s about time a pop diva arrived on scene to just say “LET’S HAVE FUN!” sure, J. Lo tries to do this, but let’s face it: the woman can’t sing, and for all the production in the world, she still completely fails to give any life to her songs. the woman fucking does poor karaoke to her own songs. Now, listen to the way kylie’s voice melds and becomes part of what she sings, but has its own identity. on the album, her voice goes from sexpot porn star to sweetly girlish to empowered feminity. So what if some of the stuff she sings is a little risque? So what if some of the lyrics are on the cheesy side from time to time? Kylie does her mostest to do her job as an entertainer, her producers do some terrific work in the studio, and she fills out those beats and works her voice to them better than anyone out there on the scene right now.
so for all those music snobs who diss on pop music, realize that there IS some decent stuff out there, remember that music is SUPPOSED to be fun, and production in the studios is STILL a sort of musical prowess. Just because a singer can sing but can’t write her own stuff doesn’t mean she sucks, just because she’s overproduced doesn’t make it automatically evil. There’s a whole bunch of crap out there right now, but don’t just turn your nose and write something off when something comes along that’s actually good~!!!!!!!!!
hooray for kylie minogue.
