Song Title: Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)Artist: Mika
Album: Life in Cartoon Motion
Genre: Pop
So its been a while since I've listened to pop. Other than classics such as the Backstreet Boys and (maybe) the Spice Girls, I've mostly turned my back on this genre. Yesterday I rediscovered why pop songs are great: they're perpetually happy and they make you want to dance. You'll find no emo here.
Mika is a solid candidate for pop stardom because of his ambiguous sexual orientation, oh and his music too. Of all the songs on Life in Cartoon Motion my favorite song is "Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)", you might recognize it as the new Ugly Betty Theme song and fittingly so; it gives the finger to beauty norms... but in a really subtle, nice, positive way. Who says silly can't be meaningful? Its happy, catchy, and fun; if you love to hate, this isn't the song for you.
Give it a listen on Mika's official website.
As an afterthought... I was thinking of other songs that make me want to dance: try "Love Will Keep Us Together" by Vitamin C (courtesy of YouTube, and the movie it was in... whatever its called). Huzzah, I'm going to close my door and play it full blast.
BTW... FIRST POST OF SEPTEMBER!!!!
