Jessica Mauboy - Burn
 

:lovedup:

The lyrics made me burst out laughing, they're awful :\

I don't like the song, and her voice is almost as annoyingly whingey as Rihanna's.
I like the fire bit in the video though.

I paused Damien Rice to listen to this... :sad:

I agree with Darenn, the lyrics are horrific.

She has one of the most annoying voices I've ever heard, far worse than Rihanna.

Jessica Mauboy - Burn (This will be BIG in Summer)
 

It's already been number 1 in Australia (knocking Lady GaGa from the top spot) and will be massive over here when it's finally released. Love this tune so much, which suprised me, as I don't usually like this type of stuff.

Take a listen and see what you think of it...

I don`t see whats special about it ,its very bland

It's awful.
Generic, bland R&B nothing. There's nothing about her or the song that makes it stand out or unique. Her voice isn't that great and the lyrics are just. bleh. awful.

There's already a thread about this song because I remember writing the same thing about it then. lol.

I like it.

Its really not that good :bored:

It's okay. Nothing special. I will probaly love it, give me a few weeks.

I quite like it, but i dont love it.

The lyrics are vacuous tripe. The beat is rather none existent. Her voice is almost a screechy as a certain other moany tramp.

Not very catchy, no strong vocals, lyrics are repetitive and it's also forgettable. :\

Sounds like all the other female R&B songs. Nothing original.

"Did my make up and my hair the way you like (like) you like (like)
still you seem to find somethin’ ‘bout me that isn’t right ( right) right (right)
you called me sexy when we first began
I’m sorry this is the way I am
I’m crazy just for givin’ you a chance, chance
this will never happen again…"

Sounds like something a child would write.
I agree with all your comments though, just. awful :\

those lyrics, I think, can only be described as, utterly enlightening.:rolleyes:

I geuinely hope this song is not successful over here, I don't think my ears could bear to have to listen to that audio bile blared through the airwaves for months.

I don't think it will be, songs that are big over here generally have SOME substance? I'm not a fan of Bleeding Love nor Umbrella but both were somewhat meaningful, well written songs?

This... isn't. :|

haha, just had a second listen, the chorus is even worse - "this love is over//so baby just let it burn" - eh, WTF?!

Oh and does anyone else think she bares a resemblance to Raven?

NO way. Songs in UK have substance! You're having a laugh. We have more novelty songs succeed so well in our chart compared to most other countries:

Crazy Frog
Frankee
Chef
Peter Kay
Geraldine
Scooch
Steps
Sclub Juniors
Aqua
Space Dust
Black Eyed Peas - My Humps

and so many, many more.

How many of those were actually good and meaningful songs with strong lyrics? Yet the public lapped them up and most of those got to number 1!!!!!


Back to the song, I dont mind it, It's catchy and would make me want to dnace if I heard it at a club while drinking.

I never said all songs in the UK had substance.
I was referring to songs that were HUGE here in recent years. How many of those songs were number #1 for 6/8+ weeks? Also, the majority of those songs were released during times when pop and songs that had no substance was 'cool'.

If this is number #1 here, I've officially lost all respect for the UK Chart.
Not that I have much for it now.

Though to be fair, how many songs spend 6/8 weeks at #1 period?

Oh and you forgot the truly horrid "Baby Cakes", ukturtle. :thumbs:

I can't stand Jessica Mauboy, so over-rated. The only reason it done well is because she's an ex-aussie idol contestant. A aussie-idol loser in fact. The song is ****.

It's completely boring.

theres something sort of 'desperate wannabe' about her
