DA BAWPS R HERE DOE! - Flops, Drops, & Random Bops: A Girl Groups Rate (WINNER <3)

he/him
Despite "Something Like A Party" being in my Ultimate Top 20 and becoming the 11 because of that. This next song, was very close to grabbing that crown. If I redid my Top 20 today, it would have a strong case for it.

Song Charted: FOR THE MUSIC, NOT FOR THE CHARTS!

Band Era: 2007-Present

Members:
Christina, Katherine, Lisa, Amy, Lauren, and Dani Cimorelli. That's right, six sisters from just outside Sacramento, California.

Youtube: They gained popularity through their numerous cover of hit songs on youtube. They won the "Bieber Off" in 2012, for covering his hit "Boyfriend". They won the Teen Choice Awrad for "Choice Webstar" the same year. They've done numerous series on youtube including "Summer with Cimorelli" in 2014, sponsored by 2014.

Albums:Up At Night (2016), Alive (2016). I listened to Up At night once and didn't like anything on it, so this group is really a "one-hit wonder" for me, kii.

(10+) - "People heard something country-esque and ran for the fucking hills Part 2". I don't know how many times I've played this on Plug.DJ with everyone serving that same reaction. I would always go "just wait for this chorus, you ARE NOT READY" and sure enough I'd hear "my pussy just blew right off". This was in a PJSC contest, entered by Sweet California bop hero @eyeline and I couldn't give him my 12 points fast enough. I'm sure you've heard the phrases "towering chorus" and "fucking anthem" yet this one totally changes the perspective of what they define. This is clearly on another level. My parents have even grown to love it and our summer car rides to our family camp have this on short list. I wish I could've seen the look on the faces of those of you who made a big discovery with this. Moments rates were made for, etc.

Normani probably thinks this is shade, but it really just makes me think of the phrase "legends only"

(0) - Actually thought this was Demi Lovato.

You've got the wrong impression, cyst. From the videos I've watched, I've gotten the impression that they're the sweetest. They literally turned doing covers on youtube from the love music into a small career they are passionate about. Life goals.

(1) - Overly mushy and trite and just basic in a non-fun way. The dialogue at the beginning of the video had me holding back vomit. I also just find them unlikable in general. They remind me of the entitled conservative girls I went to high school with. Is it unfair of me to liken this group to them? Either way this song is bad so bye.

Mutya knows that they're ahead of their time without even being alive to be ahead of their time. Truly legends.

(3) - I was listening to this thinking "god, late 1990s girl group pop was bleak", only to look them up on Wikipedia and find this was released two months ago?

Another country-flavored bop, another Avicii reference...

(3.5) - Sounds like that goddamn Avicii song that was everywhere.

LMZSagk.png


Ally's about to go get her hammer if I make her listen to anymore.

(5.5) - This is the whitest thing I've ever seen I'm screaming.

bhcn77T.png


Kelly's not here for the white nonsense either.

(7) - White girl bop.

Well, I guess you are bopping though. Get your life?

KPHueHK.png


Keisha is going to love reading my writeup.

(7) - Good song. How many people are in this group, though?!

Oavaix3.png


I'd like to know what "the numbers" are because this blows them out of the water as far as I'm concerned.

(7) - a little “Inspirational song by numbers” but decent enough

Baby Spice will not be pleased that I called them a "one-hit wonder" earlier. I can hear the "stop right now, thank you very much" now.

(7.5) - They don’t go too overboard with the folk-pop here, so I can definitely still bop. Make sure the world sees this one, too!



Yes, it's a bop too, but not even close to I Got You.

Okay, I don't care what score you gave it, you've got everything backwards in your analysis and I'm going to add you to the list of people that need those links I posted above, Michelle.

(7.5) - The spoken intro gives me Lizzie McGuire teas or like they took it from some DCOM. This is rather enjoyable if very cheesy, and I’m not a huge fan of the chorus but I like the production especially in the verses.

Yas at the Lizzie references though!

thSrEb0.png


I can always count on Mollie though.

(8) - This is so cute! That chorus really shines.

yxHFGCR.png


Okay, I'm not hearing it Mel, but work.

(8.5) - Yes, steal that Really Don’t Care melody!

Thank you Nicola. make sure to check out Emma's fav above and the one I post below.

(9) - What kind of Taylor Swift spoken intro in the video? It’s a nice song, though, and an intriguing group overall. I like their vibe and will be checking them out.

I'm loving how this became a Girls Aloud favorite. I really hope this has turned into a 10 since.

(9) - Someone help. This is AMAZING. I need this in my life, totally derivative but that doesn't matter. Probably my favorite discovery doing this rate. I'm also loving the "normal girls" feel and look.

Uh84Bdc.png


Even Frankie couldn't deny the magnetism.

(10) - At first I thought I was listening to some Wake Me Up-clone, but I actually really like this? True, the production still sounds like it, but I like all the girls’ vocals and the chorus is fantastic. A rate discovery, for sure.

eGYKjLS.png


After everything Diana has gone through lately, we kick the song that did all this out? Monsters!

(10) - I was taken and captivated instantly. I wasnot ready when I heard this for the first time for the adlib during the chorus. Instant addition to my PJ discoveries playlist.




****************************************

Another favorite bop of mine with another dynamic chorus. "Believe It"

That EU list's still too long. We need another cull.
 
he/him
That Cimorelli song is just so... flat. I gave it a 5.5 in the end 'cause it wasn't offensively bad like some of the other songs here, but I struggled to find anything even remotely interesting in it, so bye!
 
There's another 4 songs to go from Team UK before every loss will hurt severely. Whereas Team US and even Team EU could lose half and still have room for some more cuts.

Poor 3LW. Playas Gon' Play was on my first mix CD (with Eden's Crush and Bardot) so I have an attachment to it, but it's... not the most lyrically profound. Sad to see the first of the R&B eliminations so early.

Also, I Do (Wanna Get Close To You) is not only a better song, it was also a bigger hit everywhere except the UK (where I don't think it was released). Actual bop.

 
he/him
I kind of love how @DJHazey's parents know what Cimorelli is. And it's super random how that song went down better in the PJSC than it did in a basic bops rate! Huh?

My parents love basic bops so I always play them the newest ones I've discovered, that's the only way they find about them ddd.

Also, my Mom said she wants to rate the Disney classics songs when I mentioned it to her earlier this evening, when I said I didn't know if I had quite the same attachment to them to vote in it myself.
