I will never disparage catchy simple tunes such as these.
Jason Mraz - I'm Yours
Just Jack - Writer's Block
Lily Allen - Smile
Your nominations?

Oh, I love songs like that! Why shouldn't music make you feel pleasant? They're all great selections & Lily Allen is a fun little actress, too.
The first song's mood made me think of The Lovin' Spoonful -- music from long ago!

Lovely songs.  I like this one. It reminds me that we don't have to be perfect, we just need to be O.K. about being ourselves. Unwritten: |

That sounded more like rock than pop to me...  Back to simplistic pop -- here is a chance for those who have never seen the Eurovision song contest to see how the lyrics and tune must be kept to an ultra minimum level of complication to have any chance across the entire continent. This year's winner represented Norway but he is actually from Belarus. Alexander Rybak - Fairy Tale |

I have nothing against rock. I even went through my hard rock phase in university.

Infectious tune deyana! I saw them do that song live in 1978 when they warmed up for the Eagles at an outdoor show here.

You did? The Eagles are great. I'd love to see them live one of these days. I've heard that they got back together a while ago.

Oh, what the heck ~~ a little more Julieta Venegas. (I'm rather charmed by the video.) If you want a little bit of me, you ought to wait for me, and move along at a slow pace, very slowly
And bit by bit, forgetting the tempo and its speed, slowing your rhythm, going quite slowly, ever more slowly.
Be sensitive and wait. Give me time to give you all that I've got.
If you want a little bit of me, be patient and you'll see it will be better than rushing, taking flight.
If you talk to me of love, if you tone down my life, it will take longer to know what I feel. |

Would you be wounded, Imec, if I suggested that Duffy (who I really like!) is more soul or R&B than pop? She's great in "Mercy", but her delivery there is rooted in Aretha (Chain of Fools or Mockingbird) or similar influences. Agree? Disagree? |

Post by imec on Jun 5, 2009 2:23:52 GMT
I completely agree. But with all the folk (John Denver), country (Shania), light rock (Steve Miller) and so on on this thread, I thought we had branched out. I promise to do better . |

deyana, if you look back a few posts you'll see I was in trouble too - so you're in good company. (and BTW, us guys tend to like bad girls  ). See one, play one: btw deyana, if you highlight the URL when you paste it in your post and then click on the button above that says "Tube" in red, the video will embed itself in the post |

Do you have a reputation to talk about, Deyana? One of the things that I like about the Anyport Deyana is that she is not dragging a reputation along.
