Did Carly ever say CMM wasn't a useless feel good song? I don't know why everyone is acting like Carly thinks the lyrics are so deep and groundbreaking

Well if she wrote them she obviously feels them on a personal level

Lets do this one more time

Because those lyrics are so mature? What's more mature, singing about a real life situation that most 26 year old girls go through, or singing about how "starships" can fly?

I know it isn't too mature, but it's pretty much about having a good time. Plus, I adore the song.

CMM is about crushing on boys and phone numbers.


What teen girl talks about Starships flying though?

Are any of you guys in this thread 26 yet?

Who says you have to mature at 26? Who the hell "matures" by 26?

Oh, only A NORMAL PERSON!

You all can stay mad while Carly's lead keeps on widening. Thanks for the promo.


You're only as old as you feel.

Yeah, every age you see someone crush on someone. Single people especially. Trying to get someone's number for a date, etc. .
Well, if Starships is about having a good time as you put it; then every teen girl talks about that

Well, maybe if she worded it differently, it would feel more mature. That's not even what I dislike about the song though...

And having a good time is expressed by all ages

It's a song that can make you feel good and ready to open up doors at adventures in love and that is the whole feeling of summer, not just for girls but for guys too.
The song is gender-less, and also really captvating.

Melody is simple, the way that you can sing it practically immediately after hearing it. It can easily be loved by everyone, and it's a very happy, flirtatious song, that puts a smile upon your face when you hear it.

It reminds me of Michelle Branch's "Everywhere" hit: a similarly happy, flirtatious song with an inescapable hook and that crossing-border quality as for age and gender.

I just read that Carly is performing at BBA... Scooter Brown again nails it for his roster.
I was convinced Scream would have gotten a big advantage from his performance BUT if Carly performs there, it simply won't be enough.

She's gonna get a turbo-boosting if the performance is ok. And probably even if it isn't.

Good job, Scooter. You may have just secured her longevity enough to give her space to wait into until Gotye combinations of sales AND airplay shrinks enough to a number one spot.

I am admired.

DAMN, I love the way you express.. It's so profesional and right.. It's like you're an expert on the industry.. Keep doing this I enjoy your posts

Yessss, stan again for the Queen, and her beautiful futuristic ballad

[hOAng]

I can't at all the hate for CMM. It's a harmless song and most people (no matter which age) can relate to it. And after tons of songs about partying and getting wasted, I rather have something cute and simple like CMM.

[alkralkra]

I really like CMM. As for her age, it's certainly no different than Katy singing Teenage Dream singles except Carly does it better.

[Retro]

Wow, Carly's had hardly any promo and is holding a 20% lead on Gotye. This could be huge after the BBMA performance. And if her radio audience catches up to Gotye on time...

[Rigalo]

Wait is CMM #1?

You sweet soul Thank you

A song that gets bought, sung, played and sought after shouldn't be "hated".
It clearly makes many people happy, or give them something.
For how small that moment of joy or identification can be, it shouldn't be hated or dismissed by too much high distaste.

Of course, tastes may variate and one can like or not like things.

But "to hate" a song's success is just wrong.

It's pop... it's meant to be easy and fun.

There is no age really mattering: even people who are not young anymore can relate to a song celebrating flirting feelings. You would be surprised at how many over 40 can sing a song like Call Me Maybe and feeling it for 4 minutes. It's not that when you grow up you become not permeable by easy feelings...
Or so I hope at least

I think you just spoke for a good number of people on this forum.
