Carly Raete Jepsen: 15 Years Of Pop Perfection - Announcement

[SyPOPhantic]

Sweetie

I think I gave it a ten, so... oops! There are worse songs that should be out before this saccharine bop!

 

[Sabrettes]

Not "Sweetie"!!! So, apart from "Everywhere You Look" all the eliminations so far are pre 2014. I'm wondering if any of the album songs post 2015 will miss the top 100.

@Music Is Life & Death would it be possible to update the eliminations list on the first page with average marks?

I think I liked Bucket a lot more when I was a teenager than I do now but it’s still cute.

As far as Tug of War songs go though…Sunshine On My Shoulders has no business leaving after some of the already eliminated songs, sorry.

 

[soratami]

Sweetie, Take a Picture, and Runaways next please.

These are all great songs wtf. I'd hope none of them go anytime soon.

I'm hoping these are among the next eliminations:

Tug Of War
6. Sunshine On My Shoulders
10. Sour Candy

Kiss
5. Good Time (with Owl City)
11. Guitar String/Wedding Ring
12. Your Heart Is A Muscle
18. Melt With You

Extras
Last Christmas
It's Not Christmas Till Somebody Cries​

My only scores below 7 left.

[RUNAWAY]

TAKE A PICTURE?!

It was a bullshit song made for American Idol that even Carly herself has forgotten about. Bye.

 

[lilylu]

Take a Picture is amazing!! Are you joking!!!!

 

[DJHazey]

Well Bucket is the best thing of Tug of War honestly and it's 'only' an 8/10, not too much to be sour about considering the album was always tabbed to be obliterated, but I scored it much higher than many songs on the later albums.

 

[DJHazey]

even Carly herself has forgotten about

Glad one of us is on speaking terms with Carly herself and gets the insider tea first-hand.

Take a Picture is Top 30 material.

 

[Music Is Life & Death]

Morning everyone! The song at #110 that will be leaving this morning is also a single! Prepare yourself!

Sunshine On My Shoulders is a song originally performed by John Denver, written by him, Dick Kniss and Mike Taylor. It was released as a single in May 1973 from the album Poems, Prayers & Promises. Carly's cover was produced by Ryan Stewart, track 6 on Tug Of War and was the album's lead single, released on June 16th, 2008. It did not chart on the Canadian Hot 100 (or anywhere else ddd.)

This cover is cute. The song is cute. The lyrics are cute. The production is nice and laidback and cute. And that's all I feel about this song. It's a little boring, it's a little nothingy in the context of her discography especially, and it's a bit of a bummer that this is her debut single. I don't really have anything else to say. I don't know anything about John Denver other than he died in a plane crash and I know that because of Final Destination. Sooo yeah. Goodbye to this song.

@daninternational (6) is with me on this: Interesting vibe from her, stands out in a positive way but I don';t think I'll return to it This is how I feel too. I never use this song. @pop3blow2 (8.8) thinks the song is consistent with who she is: An early sign of her wonderful weirdness. Of course she would cover a random John Denver song & make it her first single. Flop instincts intact from the beginning. dd I love her weirdness but this song is meh ddd. And @unnameable (9) keeps it simple: I like a good John Denver Cover I'm glad you enjoy it!

[slaybellz]

This was her debut single? And it didn't even chart? Yikes dd. They almost botched her career didn't they.

 

[soratami]

I had no idea that was a cover. It definitely doesn't feel that different from the other songs on Tug of War, so I guess she did a great job at making it her own.

 

[FunkyButChic]

This has always been a miss to me. The production on her version just doesn't translate the warmth of the original.

 

[Music Is Life & Death]

The song going at #109 has been mentioned in the last couple pages. Be prepared.
