once upon a time a nice little ditty came about. it was a
perfectly pleasant song and many people liked it- it even
got in the charts, which rarely happens to good songs. then
the video appeared and the world was faced with a conflict
of interests- do we like the song regardless of the scrawny
little wannabe singer or do we immediatley remove ourselves
from any kind of association with this poppy pretend-im-so-punk-even-though-its-not-a-punk-song idiot?
once the next single came out the decision was simple. she must be annihilated. okay so if you hear it once you may think 'hmm, this song's not so bad, its a bit quirky and at least its not some boring indie dirge' but if you are unfortunate enough to be blessed with cable tv then the song is ineveitably accompanied by the video-in which lil old april proves the age old myth that girls cant do anything. and april is a really really shit girl too. okay so she stands on a car (wooh!) but does ANY of the interesting stuff in the video come from her? no. but the worst is yet to come. she may be a highschool dropout but that is no excuse for her pathetic spelling of the title of the aforementioned pig-like-squealing that is sk8er boi. (an interesting fact: many people i know had learned to spell the word boy (B-O-Y) before they were 5! unbelievable but true). having taken an almost instant dislike to miss lets-jump-on-any-bandwagon-that-comes-along i havent heard the album, but i have been told by well informed sources that it is a pile of elephant crap and almost as poppy as opium to boot. |
