You should hear my daughter, she’s godawful. I’m sure she’s tone-deaf, and it doesn’t help she’s always singing T-Swizzle, but she’s happy so I suffer politely.

Speaking as someone who does record his own songs, but struggles to hold a note (and hates listening to his own voice), there’s a wonderful program called Melodyne (or, more commonly, Autotune). It’s smothered all over everything on the radio these days (hell, even the latest tracks from Midnight Oil, The Rolling Stones and Pearl Jam are liberally doused in it). It can make even the poorest vocalist sound competent. If it can make my vocals palatable, it can for anyone.
So… get recording!

Oh look, I can pay out of a certified Gold Record, because I don’t like it.
Sure
Please provide an objective definition.
I feel like this is aimed at BDJ voters

This is still about ‘Hit me baby one more time,’ isn’t it?

I’m just on board with Win here, but yeah. Or maybe it’s more Two Princes, or Under the Bridge, or …
I mean we all know it can’t be objective, because the most technically brilliant, wonderfully executed piece of (say) jazz, is likely to be outright boring, and likely only excite a certain very very small number of people. Meanwhile Tubthumpin is everyone’s favourite song
I didn’t know where to start with this horrendous piece of words put together, but then I remembered…HOT TAKES!

She’s turned it around, and is a rather talented singer these days
Just sounds like Taylor Swift song to be honest. But good on her for not turning into a total headcase after having the whole internet mock her relentlessly

Could have sworn the purpose was about footy related hot takes
Never really understood the pile-on for that Friday song.
Is it good? No.
Is it any less good than any songs churned out by those Disney/teen show starlets? No.
It’s completely interchangable with the absolute ■■■■ that Miley Cyrus was doing as Hannah Montana, the crap that Demi Lovato or Selena Gomez were doing as teenagers. Hell, I’d struggle to separate it from the songs Miley Cyrus was first releasing under her own name (back before her clothes started falling off).
Christ, I’d sooner listen to it than anything by Tones & I.
Personally I find female pop so formulaic, interchangeable and generic. It was only recently when putting together a playlist for Little Miss B that I discovered half the songs I thought were Olivia Rodriguez were actually Amy Shark, or vice versa. Songs I thought were Taylor Swift were actually someone else.
But as I’ve said before I’m not a young female, so am not its target audience. Maybe, just maybe, young females are infinitely better credentialled than I to better assess the nuances of female teen-pop and why Friday was so reviled.

Dude it’s a shocking piece of music. Just accept it.
You surrendered your right to be Glenn A Baker when you extolled the virtues of Modern Talking…
Modern Talking is the Mozart of the late 80s/ early 90s.
Taylor Swift is a poor man’s Scott Stapp.
