Plenty of pop acts get undeserved critical disdain, but I ask: has there been enough hatred aimed in the direction of Jason Derulo? A man who has a number of hit songs that range from offensive (“Talk Dirty”) to vapid (“Whatcha Say”) to not-quite-vomit-inducing (“The Other Side”). “Wiggle,” which sits between “offensive” and “vapid,” begins, “Patty cake patty cake with no hands,” then the ****er eventually get to repeating the phrase “ham sammich.” I only beg of us that the next time we dismiss The Black Eyed Peas or even Jessie J, let’s not forget Mr. Jasoooon Deruloooo.
