  1. Generally I find her remixes generic and lame but that's probably because she gets crap people to remix her music. Oakenfold? Tracey Young? Rauhoffer? Aside from Oakenfold I hardly ever hear about her remixers other then in relation to her. It's like all they do is remix her music.

    She really needs to get out more or jump on some music blogs or something.

    I think really the only good ones she had were by Stuart around COADF.

  2. Looks like the acoustic version of Love Spent is the untitled bonus track in iTunes! Great reviews. Really interested to hear some of the songs mentioned. Some sound terrible on paper but they seems to be the best tracks!

  3. I like the song. I like the vocals. It has a sing-a-long quality to it that's been missing from a lot of her music for a while that I think the general public (specifically females) will like.

    I think the song will do well simply for the fact that there is a lot of negativity here. I think someone has mentioned this in another thread somewhere but when Hung Up was released it got a very similar reaction! Now it's a classic and COADF is one of her best albums!

    Overall though it really doesn't bother me what other people think, I enjoy it, and I think I will enjoy the album so really that's enough for me. GGW is already better then half the crap on the radio at the moment anyway. Both songs, GMAYL and GGW have a "happy" sound to them which, even before she described Solveig's music as "happy", I said here that I hoped she'd make a "happy" sounding album. I am surprised that she didn't lead the album with this song and perform this at the Superbowl! Even though GMAYL had the cheerleader theme to tie in with the SB this seems like a stronger single.

    Can't wait to see her perform this live and I can't wait for the video or the album! Only 4 weeks to go!

  4. Totally rocked! Even better then what I thought it would be. Her entrance was incredible and the roar of the crowd was amazing considering how much crap she was getting for not being a good pick for the half time show. I thought everything worked well. I actually liked the choreography a lot. Maybe JK has been inspired recently. Vogue was easily the best, and Music was pretty awesome too. Loved the shuffling part. GMAYL was a bit weak I thought but still had some great moments. Loved the marching band and the little bit of OYH! LAP was good too and was a good way to end the show! Cee-Lo did alright and he really annoys me most of the time, I think his part still works better with a female vocalist though. The screen on the floor looked kick ass especially the 3D effect it made during the Vogue. Truly think it was one of her greatest performances ever so hopefully it pays off for her. It's a bit disappointing the people can't just appreciate it for its entertainment value without nit picking at the smallest things. BTW I loved her little slip during Music, made her seem a little human and she recovered fine! But seriously that entrance!!!!

    Also I would like to say that yeah the whole Cleopatra thing did remind me of Kylie a bit but I think it was a perfect theme for the Super Bowl! And clearly Madonna did it on a more epic scale!

  5. Jeez talk about some O-T-T reactions. Anyway I think it's a good song and I'm enjoying it for what it is. It definitely has a Solveig sound to it and I'm not really a fan of his. I'd take this song over most of the crap that gets played on the radio at the moment.

  6. IF this is true then I think it sounds cool and definitely ties in great with promo for the new material. While I hope she doesn't do ROL/LAP/Music, she most likely will do at least one of them. I hope that the performances are a bit more creative at least. Would be cool if she busted out EY. That's a massive hit that she hasn't really performed. I think it's also likely she might do Celebration as it was her last single and has yet to be performed live. I do think she'll perform at least two new songs. The whole point of her doing the half time show would be promo for her new album so I don't think it would make sense to do a bunch of hits and only one new song.

    I also wanted to add that I hope she doesn't take inspiration from this to use a circular stage for the next tour. They have to be the worst.

  7. She's 57 now. She isn't gonna sound the same as she did at 27.

    But yeah, there must be something she could do. And she isn't able to recreate this stuff live either which is a problem for a touring based act. She should sing all her songs like "Hey You" :fag:

    Yeah I know her voice is going to mature but it's also the way she pronounces words now and a lot of her newer songs lack that passionate carefree sound that she used to have. I still think the Evita training she had ruined her voice. She seems more conscious of singing "perfect" rather then just belting songs out.

  8. Heartbeat's GREAT, I especially love the guitar riff at the end in Sticky & Sweet, but right now I am so feeling Celebration's Lucky Star - that song just resonates all-the-way back to the beginning for me, it really packs a nice punch this version - oh well... surprise, surprise.

    Surprisingly I've been listening to this song a lot as well. Also a few of the other early tracks on Celebration too. WTG ITG PDP. Seriously making me miss that "voice." She had so much passion and emotion when she sang. Even if she does sing "technically" better now I still prefer the amateurish vocals from the early days.

  9. Got the Bluray and it looks awesome. The high def blows you away and the costumes and everything look so much better then watching the clips on Youtube. The vocals seem a bit too polished in some areas but overall the performances kick ass. The crowd was amazing and it was good to see them and getting so into it. I really think that makes a massive difference to the feel of the show.
