I thought I'd try something different for my review of the debut CD from those Making the Band darlings, O-Town. Here's an easy to read table with all the info you need to know, like whether or not the song has any pop culture references and what the corniest lyrics are. Because after all, that's what really counts.� |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes. Destiny's Child, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Janet Jackson, and many other actresses have the misfortune of being mentioned. |
|
"She's a morphorotic dream from a magazine." | Yeah. Pretty badly. I watch TRL every day, so I'm pretty much immune to this song's badness by now. | This song broke a record for the most singles sold in an opening week. I never thought I'd see O-Town in the Guiness Book of World Records (for anything other than "suckiest boyband"). |
|
|
Yeah. "Victoria's Secret I've been keeping, and it's getting harder all the time" and "I picture you in red MAC lipstick."� |
|
"Ten times a minute, six hundred times an hour, another cold shower until you give me some." | As much as I hate the lyrics, the music is actually kinda groovy and there are some cool electric guitar riffs. | Even kinkier than "Digital Getdown." |
|
|
No, since the only word in this song is "Girl."� |
|
"With her own money, job and credit
cards / A sexy girl / You better be careful or she�ll pull your card"
Cards rhymes with card. Who knew?
|
|
I was trying to count the number of times they say the word "girl," but I lost count at 106.� |
|
|
Oh, tons of them. Haagen Daaz, Calvin Klein Jeans, MTV, Soul Train |
Gross.� |
"Had sushi in Japan, used to think I was the man" |
|
Someone seems to have told O-Town that "wifey" is a word. Hahaha. That totally threw away any credibility this song could have hoped to have had. |
|
|
|
|
"Honesty bites the dust every time I hear you saying love is never lust" |
|
If you listen at the beginning, you can hear Ashley take a HUGE breath before he starts singing. Hah. |
|
|
|
|
The whole whispery spoken part at the end. |
|
The word "mermaid" is totally distracting. |
|
|
|
|
"It's time for show and tell." |
|
O-Town fans picked this to be their second single.� |
|
|
|
|
"See I've given you everything that's inside, but you need to fill me up" |
|
It's starts out with a good message, but it kinda gets lost in the chorus. |
|
|
|
|
"You know I'm not a painter, actor, baby it dont matter" |
|
The whispery rap at the end completely throws off the flow.� |
|
|
They do the sterotypical boyband mentioning their own name in a song thing. |
|
The whole funking thing, but especially "Make a fella wanna go write a song and give you all my publishing" |
|
This song was written by O-Town member Jacob Underwood. I saw the episode of Making the Band where he wrote this, and it was a cute little song on an acoustic guitar. I don't know how it turned into this mess.� |
|
|
Nope. I think we're done with all the endorsements now. |
|
"I'll be your king cause you are my queen, life's a living dream" |
|
This was produced by Dakari from Just Anotha Smash Ent. (Also known as Just Anotha song that makes me wanna Smash my head into the wall Ent.) |
|
|
Naw. Diane Warren's got more class than that. |
|
It's Dianne Warren. Everything's corny. |
|
All of Dianne Warren's songs sound the same. Don't like her. |
 |
Aww, there they are. Those poor,
impressionable young guys who thought they were going to be the next *NSYNC.
Well... nice try.
Clockwise from bottom left: Jacob Underwood (the one with the bad hair), Erik-Michael Estrada (the one named after a guy from CHIPS), Trevor Pennick (the one with the nice arms), Ashley Parker Angel (the one who I would love to corrupt), and Dan Miller (the glass-half-full kinda guy).� |
