Another week and another batch of hot and not so hot singles. From Mimi Carey’s return to the radio (along side The Dream) to The Pussycat Dolls Bollywood inspired “Jai HO” this week is quite a mixed bag. Let’s get it started!
Where's Mimi?
The Dream is the man behind such annoying smash songs such as “Umbrella” and “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” so it comes as quite a shock that he left such a crappy, forgettable song for himself. “My Love” is the 2nd single from his new album and the song features none other than everybody’s favorite crazy, “there are people called haters”, hello kitty lovin, Mimi Carey.
In reality Mimi brings nothing to the table except a very strained vocal performance that is not her best. This is just run-of-the-mill R&b that really is not even worth listening to. You’ve heard TONS of songs like this before and they have been done better. I think Mimi decided that since her last album pretty much flopped what a better way to get her back on the charts with a guy that has produced smash after smash. It will probably be a hit, but that don’t mean it’s any good. The video promises to have Mimi looking her most ridic, if this picture is anything to go by. There is also a sneak peak of this mess and can I just say… when the fuck is Mimi gonna grow the fuck up? I mean sucking on a lollipop on a porch? Get it together woman! You’re 39 not 13!
My Rating: 5 hours of Mimi giving you wardrobe advice.
Why?
Damn the Pussycat Dolls for releasing this piece of shit. “Jai Ho” is the song from the movie Slumdog Millionaire. I just don’t get it. It’s just such a boring song. It’s Bollywood at it’s worst. Why this song has stormed up the charts is anyone’s guess but as far as I’m concerned this song is about the worst PCD single ever. The movie was popular and I guess they just want to ride the wave of success the movie is having and release a song that would be a hit not because it’s any good but because it’s from a movie that a lot of people are talking about.
One more thing, why does it say The Pussycat Dolls Featuring Nicole (whatever the fuck her last name is)? I mean doesn’t she sing ALL of the PCD songs? If this is anything to go by, then shouldn’t ALL of their songs be labeled like this? I’m confused.
Anyway, I’m sure this song will be annoying the crap out of you soon. (If it already hasn’t.)
My Rating: 5 hours of listening to ‘Stickwitchu”
Single Of The Week:
Depeche Mode - "Wrong"
Finally! I really LOVE the fact that Depeche Mode is back and stronger than ever! Their new single “Wrong” is just as instant as any other Depeche classic. This is the first single from their up and coming album “Sounds Of The Universe”.
The song is dark and edgy. I also love the fact that no matter what they do they always manage to sound true to their electronic sound. There are sure to be many a-mazing remixes for this song that I know I will love no matter what.
What REALLY seals the deal though is the video. It is just too good for words! It’s utterly creepy and the ending is just something that must be seen to believe. Trust me, this you gotta watch!
Enjoy the video!
