Get 'Em While They're Hot: CELEBRITY

insearchofjason · Jul 24th, 2001, 10:00 AM

Anyone rushing out to the nearest BEST BUY to pick up your own copy of Celebrity today?

Anyone already have it?

Anyone care to write a review on the songs, the cover art, the thank-you's, etc?

Anyone feeling rebellious and refusing to fund their over-expensive hotel rooms, thus finding other means of obtaining the album?

Let's discuss... Anyone?

My only shot at obtaining said cd was if my daughter wanted it...lucky for me she "is SO over those guys"..at least for the time being

Her sights are now set on 12 year old Robert she met at camp last week

I've heard that Up Against the Wall song a couple of thime, but don't have the CD. Little club/trip-hop number. Good job at producing, JC! I really like it. If the rest of the album sounds like that, I'm all the way in.

Read the Entertainment Weekly review . . . gave them a B. Also went thru it song by song . . . said most of them sounded like Michael Jackson songs . . . kept baggin' on Justin's mimicking said MJ's style. Hmmmmm.

Loving Up Against The Wall...Mer, you'll like the CD. Get it!

I'll save a review for when the glitter of newness wears off and I'm not just raving about having a new toy to play with.

And hush up, ISOJ, fork out the bucks so my future husband can start saving up for the wedding.

Oh, mind you, I'll buy it . . . . But it probably won't be today . . . . probably this weekend. I'll have to settle for being part of the first week sales rather than the booming first day sales like I was last time.

I understand that they've taken a lot of London club sound and incorporated it into this record. Good or bad choice to do that, on the whole, Nik? Also, what's the sappy ballad to dance tune ratio? You know I prefer a good dance tune to Diane Warren sop any day!

NikDC · Jul 24th, 2001, 12:11 PM

I'll give it a 70:30 Dance to sappy. And the club mix works so far for me. At least, the pulsating beats haven't given me a headache yet.

Jul 24th, 2001, 12:16 PM

Remember Kevin B. in law school and his description of club music as "unce-unce music," complete with vocal mimick of same? Can't go into a club w/o thinking of Kevin now . . . .

Good. I can deal with a 70/30 sap factor . . . it's when it approaches 50/50 that I get bothered.

vester · Jul 24th, 2001, 12:32 PM

Just went out and got it!
Love Pop, The Two of Us, Up Against The Wall and the one ballad I really like Selfish.
I don't like the cover art. JC has Joan Rivers hair.
I'm still looking at the inside thing.

I'm with you Mer, give me a good dance tune instead of the "girl I'll love you forever but I won't touch you" sop.
Only song I don't like on this is Just Don't Tell Me That, sounds a lot like BSB Get Another Girlfriend.

Jul 24th, 2001, 12:55 PM

Yeah, those "I love you, oh so much / and respect you as a person / You are my air and water / I can barely walk without you in myyyyyyyy liiiiiife" songs . . . . They hurt me. There's one song on No Strings that I still have yet to get all the way through. Never even gotten through an entire verse of that one. It's that one that starts "When Winter . . . ." That's as far as I get b/4 I hit the button to make it go to the next track. I couldn't name that tune in four notes if my life depended on it!

But I love me some hoppin', dancin' NSYNC . . . . Can't get enough of 'em I still love "I Want You Back"!

vester · Jul 24th, 2001, 01:05 PM

Yup, know it and skip it.
I hear enough sop from them when they are interviewed and Justin goes on and on about how much he loves Brit. Whatever. Tell me again in 2 years.

I will always love I Want You Back. I will love Bye Bye Bye again after I get over the saturation. Right now it just sends me into a seizure.

iggy · Jul 24th, 2001, 01:11 PM

When my Dream and A-Teens CDs lose their novelty, I'll go buy it.

Note sarcasm. I own it already. Rahaha. Okay, not really.

Jul 24th, 2001, 01:34 PM

Vester- just have to correct your BSB song up there. It's Get Another Boyfriend.

I know...you're all

at me. It's okay. I can take it.

vester · Jul 24th, 2001, 01:37 PM

Don't tell me A-Teens came out with a follow up CD after "Two Guys, Two Girls, No Talent".

I'm so out of the loop.

vester · Jul 24th, 2001, 01:40 PM

Oops. Sorry Ellen. Thanks.

I also quoted the wrong NSync song, so that's OK. Hope they don't revoke my Fan Club Membership Card. I won't get the newsletter this month telling me all about the boys horoscopes and how I can be a better fan if I stay in school.

insearchofjason · Jul 24th, 2001, 01:45 PM

Speaking of songs you can't get through the first two words before skipping... that song on NSync's first album. The first time I heard it in it's entirity was in DC. I said, "Nikki... can you burn me a copy of this song?" Her reply, "You have the fire CD, don't you?"

Fire CD? Oh yeah... I have that one.

Just never got through the first two whiney lyrics of JC.

And Mer, I don't even know what song you're talking about from NSA, so I must be a skipper of that song too.
