Discussion: What is so good about "Blurred Lines"? - Page 5

Gagasm

Its catchy and a good throwback to oldschool Disco and Funk.

Its grown on me!

When I first heard it I was like "Oh my god, it sounds so retro, I love it!"

...now it's like "...can we skip that song?!"

That's not the point at all.
It's not just about reading you should also try to understand what you read.
It's this:
When a male artist gets a hit with radioriendly single about sex ATRL reacts with phrases like: "lol the GP stans for such trash" or "how can generic trash like that become a hit

"
But when a pop girl gets a hit with a radiofriendly single about sex ATRl reacts with phrases like: "lol slay queen" or "omg snatch those wigs" and **** like that.

It''s not about taste it's about the obvious hypocricity on this forum.
So start to understand what you're reading before you accuse anyone of anything

All the people saying it's generic trash, and then I look to see who they stan for. If this sorta song was sung by a female you all would be praising it.

What? The #1s this year have all been fine (except for Harlem Shake). WIWYM and JGMAR were a little dull, but other than that, no complaints. Thrift Shop was cute, clever and catchy as hell, LOOH really showed off Bruno's musical versatility, and I could find absolutely nothing wrong with Can't Hold Us.

Seriously, tell me ONE bad thing about Can't Hold Us. ONE thing, besides, "It was written by a man and men are icky".

Hi. Yes. I don't think I said anything about hating all of the songs that have hit #1. Did I? No.

I actually like "Can't Hold Us" and the rest of his album. I don't really care if a man sings a song or not. Sure, I might like girls more, but yeah. Please do not like to act like I am the rest of the people of the pop world. Thanks. I guess if I had to say something wrong about "Can't Hold Us" is that Ray Dalton is the worst part of the song and should be in it. Oh wait... he's a male too. Damn it, I guess you're right. Men are icky.

I guess we can't really have the same opinions on this. I just like a different sound than what has been released. I have just found most of the songs that have been #1 to be boring as hell and not good songs. I don't really care if people them. Perhaps I am too harsh when I talk about them, but whatever. I guess I should continue to act "pressed" because songs I don't like make it to the top.

Yeah though. I just find most of the songs bad. I don't care if they are made by a boy or a girl. That doesn't mean anything. They would still be boring even if they were sung by a girl. Maybe I would just deal with it more if they were one of my favorite. Although I am pretty sure that if they sounded the same that I would still hate them. Even if a favorite of mine did sing them.

Emily Ratajkowski's titties tbh.

Yeah, I guess my comments were rather hasty. My apologies.

Sometimes I forget that ATRL actually does have a pretty diverse community, in terms of musical taste. But I guess I just got frustrated after seeing dozens of people say, "GAWD the #1s this year are all trash" when there have been past years with FAR worse #1s in the past (2010, for instance). And they just call them 'trash' without really articulating what makes them trash.

And yeah, I know that not EVERYONE here likes female artists exclusively, but when you see the umpteenth thread crying for 'The Trinity' to come back... you know.

But no, it was wrong of me to prejudge you like that, based on the attitudes of a few other people, and I shouldn't have assumed that you're just like everyone else. I'm sorry, that was my bad.

I'm sorry as well. It's fine though.

I wasn't really that into pop music in 2010 so I wouldn't know anything about the charts back then. It might have been worse than this year. I am not too sure. I probably shouldn't call them trash. Some of them aren't really too bad, but they really just aren't my style. At all. Ah well.

Don't want to get too off topic right now though.

I tried listening to "Blurred Lines" again today... still not any better.

He's so handsome though.

I've never even heard about it until now

You didn't miss out on much in 2010. It had some good songs. It wasn't too bad, but really boring compared to this year. The whole 2009-2011 was pretty slow paced and dull tbh. It's much better now.

Haus

Because it's Pharrell and it's phunky and it's cool and it's Robin Thicke who most teen girls have never heard of but think he's hot and sexy.

Aka nothing.

Taemira

There's nothing so good about that utter generic cheesy dated trash. But it really sounds catchy and enjoyable so i guess that's why it's smashing so hard now.

Tropez

"its generic", "its trash", "its crap".

Then I look at their faves and think, if they made it would be like the 2nd coming for them. Its a great song, and everyone likes it. Sorry it isn't a dance-pop song with recycled beats from RedOne or Dr. Luke. Or maybe if it were a female singing it you guys would be all over it.

RajibDavid

I don't like it, I don't understand its success.

Pecinta Mariah

it's completely fresh and different idk

liberalmusiclover

The song is FLAWLESS and you will all deal.

Nait Phoenix

It's a fun song. People like fun songs. A barrage of sad ballads can make people want fun songs for the summer.

It's the millionth song about having sex/****ing a girl. Another piece of disposable ****.

There goes your flawed logic, lyrics are secondary to music (the sound) and well... the song is catchy and varied, that's it.

Though that bass line is from Marvin Gaye's 'Got To Give It Up' I think but I don't know if I'm covering it all and the song overall bears resemblance to Madonna's 'Give It 2 Me'. I got hooked to the latter song when it came out and when I listened to 'Blurred Lines' I was like wait a minute I've heard this before.

It's a cool song anyway.
