@menyc: Tranny? Shouldn't you be on Xbox Live right about now?

@Chris Molanphy: I think it's that sample that I like, too! I got a Bolero vibe from it.

@Rock You Like An Iracane: I heard of them when they played my State Fair one a double bill with thatkid with the flowy hair.

@Rob Murphy: Why must you taunt my Jonas fangirl heart Rob Murphy. *not getting hopes up*

I like this, maybe because I like the Carmen-esque sample it's riding. The video's not as interesting as it could be.

@Rock You Like An Iracane: Nashville trio. Recently scored their first Country Top 10 after a long, slow climb.

I’d never heard of this tranny until this morning. This song sucks.

I like it. This is the "remix" version, right?

I think you can hear studio trickery/protools/autotune in the choruses. The melisma bugs a bit, but it immediately stood out when I was listening to Big Tigger a while back.

Am I the only one who’s never heard of Lady Antebellum?

I'm somewhat embarrassed to say I've had limited exposure to Sullivan. But, also, not feeling this. At. All.

I'll let her make her case, but right now I'm thinking the BNA award will go to either the JoBros or Lady Antebellum.

I kind of hate thing song, it really dampered my enthusiasm for Sullivan and her album. It’s like a more musically drab version of “Ring The Alarm” crossed with a more lyrically tame version of “Before He Cheats.”

@bcapirigi: it's sort of like 'hit 'em up style' with a conscience, you know? (or at least a nod to the current times, where getting credit isn't so easy.)

It's kind of the gayest song ever. Diva-like wailing, and somewhere between Hit Em Up Style and Shirley Bassey's cover of Get The Party Started.

I love it, in other words. Even though the lyrics are totally stupid.
