And now, for no reason:
Mikal's Very Own Music Review!
Every week, I shall rate four new songs and see if they are any good. More than likely none will, but we can see anyways
Mikal Award Of Excellence "Catch You" by Sophie Ellis-Bextor
What can't Sophie sell? Throw some snarling guitar and a stalking song (and it's very stalking) into a dance beat and you have genius!
Mikal Award Of Competence "Ruby" by Kaiser Cheifs
I'm inclined to hate Kaiser Cheifs since "I Predict A Riot" is rather annoying. Plus, I sided with Bloc Party on the failed New New Wave British Music Invasion. However, I will say that "Ruby" surprised me on the decent quality of it. I mean, it basically takes "Eleanor Put Your Boots On" over a Bravery beat, but it works well. And the "RUBY RUBY RUBY RUBY! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" is so much fun to sing.
Mikal Award of Decent Standing "He Said She Said" by Ashley Tisdale
OK, I really do not like Ashley. She's the worst thing on The Suite Life Of Zach & Cody since she can barely act. She ruined "Kiss The Girl." And somehow, as a lead single she slammed a Gwen Stefani number with a Stacey Orrico bridge and "chorus." Like, take "Hollaback Girl" and put "(there's gotta be) more to life"s chorus. And use her vocals, apparently, since she tries to be bratty like Gwen and then does a lot of Stacey flourishes which bug me.
And yet. And yet it's ear cancer. I'm stunned that even though I know it sounds like **** I really like it.
Mikal Award for Shitteousness "Over It" by Katharine McPhee
This is very sad. Someone inside RCA apparently mistook Katharine for JoJo and forced her at gunpoint to record a ****** bland quasi-ballad in which she sounds like she should be shopping for groceries. And then they laid the song over a beat that would not sound out of place coming from the Bulgarian entry for Eurovision.
Seriously, she wants her man to read her lips that "she's over it"? She's already over before she began, if this single is any indication of her song choices. She and Taylor are easily been passed as the worst set of final 2 - hell, DeGarmo had a better lead track and she sounded like a Disney theme song!
