Members flatfinger Posted March 28, 2011 Members Posted March 28, 2011 22 to be exact ....... you go girl !!! It's nice to see an artist who doesn't just have to do it ( especially when they can be so bad at it !!) It took a virtual village to build the superstar's new album http://music.msn.com/britney-spears-diva-factory/story/feature/?GT1=28102
Members AVisme Posted March 29, 2011 Members Posted March 29, 2011 Eh...the 2 songs I've heard don't impress me. The only thing I liked about them is the farty synth sound on "Hold It Against Me". pKfjaWDWsLI
Moderators daddymack Posted March 29, 2011 Moderators Posted March 29, 2011 Is she still a viable artist? Really?
Members AVisme Posted March 29, 2011 Members Posted March 29, 2011 Based on her chart performance, yes. The first single debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The second debuted at #20.
Members sventvkg Posted March 29, 2011 Members Posted March 29, 2011 Is she still a viable artist? Really? I hate to say it but she's still HUGE and worldwide..
Members JohnMCA72 Posted March 29, 2011 Members Posted March 29, 2011 I hate to say it but she's still HUGE and worldwide.. Why hate to say it? We should all be happy for whatever success that one of our fraternity enjoys! I'm especially happy to see her coming back from the (mostly self-inflicted) problems she's been through. I don't own any of her products, & I'm certainly not a fan, but I'm always glad when somebody figures out a way to succeed in the music business. That goes for anybody on this forum, too!
Members Poker99 Posted March 29, 2011 Members Posted March 29, 2011 If I think someone has a product that sucks, why should I be happy if they succeed with it? Why should I care? I wouldn't say I hate it, it would be useless, but being happy for Britney's success? Are you kidding me lol Good for her though...
Members richardmac Posted March 29, 2011 Members Posted March 29, 2011 Yeah, heard this track already - fart synth bass, that's funny. I say bring back the minimoog "OW" bass patch. That's my personal fave. Like in "Everything She Wants" by Wham. OW OW OW. Regarding Britney and her career - don't care.
Members Rudolf von Hagenwil Posted March 30, 2011 Members Posted March 30, 2011 Is she still a viable artist? Really? You wouldn't work one more hour in your life if youwrote only one line of lyrics for one of Britney's song, ask Lisa, however she wrote more then one lineof lyrics, and not only for Britney
Members Rudolf von Hagenwil Posted March 30, 2011 Members Posted March 30, 2011 Regarding Britney and her career - don't care. But you would take the money of her in case you would be capable writing a song for her?
Members Poker99 Posted March 31, 2011 Members Posted March 31, 2011 I would, but I don't get your point?
Members Rudolf von Hagenwil Posted March 31, 2011 Members Posted March 31, 2011 I would, but I don't get your point? Sorry for the trouble and and question mark. Next time I foresee that you read my post, I make a point at the end of the sentence.

Don't get me wrong, either, we are all whores in some sense, because we will perform for $...but there are limits even a prostitute will set.

Don't get me wrong, either, we are all whores in some sense, because we will perform for $...but there are limits even a prostitute will set. unfortunately I compose and produce all genre of music, okay, I never composed a Balinese gamelan work, and no, I am not a whore at all. I am simply a composer, and I don't give a damn what the music genre or substyle is I create, but I aknowledge that hobbyist, who have a bank job, can choose from all the commissions they are offered from the entertainment world here a soundtrack of mine from december 2010: http://www.tagesschau.sf.tv/Nachrichten/Archiv/2010/12/09/Wirtschaft/Dokumentarfilm-Euro-am-Abgrund
Members BuildingCastles Posted April 11, 2011 Members Posted April 11, 2011 22 song writers and her first single is a {censored}ing horrible pickup line with an average melody. And no, I'm not saying this because I hate her. I actually enjoy some of her music, so I'm not biased.

Members richardmac Posted April 11, 2011 Members Posted April 11, 2011 I agree with two things:1. Lots of folks look down on top 40 pop songs, and say they'd never write them, but writing a really good catchy pop song is very difficult. Please note the word "good" in my sentence.2. That particular Britney song is not a really good catchy pop song.
Members Rudolf von Hagenwil Posted April 12, 2011 Members Posted April 12, 2011 Oh, you own a snapshot of Theo, the God of the Germans DEAD SQUIRRELS ON EYES ARE SUDDENLY IN VOGUE IN GERMANY
Members BenDuncan Posted April 12, 2011 Members Posted April 12, 2011 I personally love many top 40 songs of today but mostly for how catchy they are. The lyrics of most are terrible. It seems today so many song writers work of off pure natural talent rather than skill, they don't learn the craft and have no idea what they are doing. Can't someone write a good catchy pop song with great lyrics these days? I'm working on it haha
Members Rudolf von Hagenwil Posted April 12, 2011 Members Posted April 12, 2011 just compose and produce the damn thing, cash in, disappear, buy a tree house in the jungle .

Members BenDuncan Posted April 12, 2011 Members Posted April 12, 2011 If you build it, will they come? But I know what you mean. Where's the next Nick Lowe? Yes! Back when people knew what meter was and when there was more of a structure in the lyrics. I like modern pop, my favorite band is Metallica but all of my favorite lyricists are much older.
Members Rudolf von Hagenwil Posted April 13, 2011 Members Posted April 13, 2011 and when there was more of a structure in the lyrics. I like modern pop, my favorite band is Metallica but all of my favorite lyricists are much older. There is only one metre (AE meter) in English language, no matter if you speak, or if you sing. .
Moderators daddymack Posted April 13, 2011 Moderators Posted April 13, 2011 Rudy...do you ever post sober?In this sense, meter as the rhythmic quality of word flow Example: iambic pentameter
Members Rudolf von Hagenwil Posted April 13, 2011 Members Posted April 13, 2011 Rudy...do you ever post sober?In this sense, meter as the rhythmic quality of word flow Example: iambic pentameter Beethoven was sober all the time, and you can hear that in his music, but he used all metre. English however is an accentual language, and therefore beats and offbeats take the place of the long and short syllables of classical systems. In most English verse, the meter can be considered as a sort of back beat. The most common characteristic feet of English verse are the iamb in two syllables and the anapest in three.
