Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Oh God, has anybody heard Joe McElderry's new song? He's ripped off a song from ages ago and made it into some kind of dance song or something. It was played on the radio and I didn't even recognise him through the instrumentals and autotune. It's below average at best. Here's the song: I think he can do better than this. What do you guys think? Edited September 21, 2010 by Animal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 21, 2010 I'll just ignore the fact that I've never heard of him and say that it reminds me of some other crappy singer, who ripped off something I'm sure I heard years ago. something to do with "the sound of music". It seems to be a current trend. There's the "you spin my head right round", the ultra cheesy "I'm too sexy for this shirt" and a few others used in current "dance" music that they play on Radio 1. I'm sure there's one where in the middle they play an actual clip from "Back to life, Back to reality" for 5 seconds. I wish they played the full song instead.

Flo Rida seems to be the master of doing such things as you mentioned, there's three tracks I can think of where he's done it. I think Sugababes did "I'm too sexy" and that was awful. Also, Alexandra Burke has gone down the same path with her single "Start Without You", the beat is a blatant rip-off of Boney M's Holiday. I just hate it when people think they've written the song and they did it, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 21, 2010 He sounds a bit Jake from Scissor Sisters esque. Doesn't sound like him at all... but really his voice was more suited to musicals wasn't it, so maybe he had to do something a little different to stand much hope of a sustained chart career.

Posted September 21, 2010 Who?? (Yes, i know who he is. I just like to attempt at not knowing who he is, because he's crap) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 21, 2010 God its awful! I honestly think this kids career is dead already. Male winners of X-Factor always fail to do anything and he came out as gay right? I think he instantly loses some of his appeal and marketability as girls won't go crazy over him... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 21, 2010 I don't actually thinks it's bad. It seems like a pretty nice track to dance to, and that never fails to make me joyful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really dislike "artists" who do that. I'm not a big fan of the song either, but some music is supposed to be light-hearted. I know it helps if it's actually good, but I think shows like the X-factor etc. have made us so critical of everything. As for me, I'll just ignore this song but whoever finds it good, fair enough I guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 11, 2010 I just heard the acoustic version and I think it's much better. Just to clarify, Cube, I'm sure your talking about JLS's, the Club is Alive with the Sound of Music.

As for me, I'll just ignore this song but whoever finds it good, fair enough I guess I was referring to the part in his post when he said "You Spin Me Right Round" which Flo Rida and Ke$ha totally ripped off too!
