Maddy's day

So for Double Friday, we are going to reside in the realm of pop music. Really current popular music. Sugary, happy, popular music.

The first song is by Mika, a British singer/songwriter, performing his #1UK hit "Grace Kelly." I must admit, I really enjoy the piano notes in this song. It is over the top with the classic chord progressions, breaking no real bounds... hence it's mass appeal. Truly, this song is sickeningly popular, having graced commercials, movie trailers and the hit show (really?), "The Hills." When My daughter was 6 months old and couldn't sleep, I would play this video for her and she would smile and drift off. It can't be all bad.

The next foray into the maelstrom is from the teen duo Aly & AJ, lip syncing their over engineered song "Potential Breakup Song." Why my daughter likes this song I don't know, she's only 2 years old. There seems to be something inherently wrong with that. In any case, this song is a perfect example of getting two somewhat cute individuals to sing, and form a song around their voices. Kinda ironic that this somewhat suggestive song is sung by very devout Christian girls. Disney has to love that.

So, put down the sugar boys and girls, here comes enough to make your teeth fall out.


Mika -- "Grace Kelly"


Aly and AJ -- "Potential Breakup Song"

Have a great Double Friday,
