The anti-bubblegum brigade is at it again, ddd.
Album: On Ice (1999)
Producers: Honeycutt (Miss Papaya, Toy-Box) and Longhorn (Hit'n'Hide, Ni-Ni)
Desirée Sparre-Enger also known as Bambee is one of the more prominent artists in the bubblegum dance community. She chose the name 'Bambee' because people often said her eyes reminded them of the Disney character, but she changed it from 'Bambi' to avoid copyright issues. Legend states that she was born in a cowshed in the Norwegian countryside, though this probably isn't true. They are many cute little fantasy tales about her life because of how small of a person she was. She discovered pop music at the age of 2 and was very much into theater from early age. She always wanted to play the lead role, including plays like The Sound of Music and Les Miserables in grade school.
Working for a youth department of a national radio station, Desirée got her chance to become a star when a producer asked her to sing the chorus for a song, that song ended up becoming her first single: "Candy Girl". This is also where her trademark 'baby-voiced' style came to fruition, the mix that ends up on her debut album, the "Y2K mix" can be heard here:
Lines like "I'm no bimbo, boys love me!" and randomly interjecting "I love candy!" make this is a legendary bubblegum track.
Bambee had to fight hard to get heard as an artist, but quickly developed a public demand for her music as she did festival tours and played at small clubs - even though she had the position at a major radio station in Norway it did not give her the inside track one would think she'd have. Bambee became known as someone with an abundance of confidence and character, considered one of the sweetest personalities in Norway during her hayday. It reflected the music very well. One of her biggest hobbies off stage was playing video games and her favorite was apparently Resident Evil. Speaking of video games, her music became pretty popular in Asia and she ended up becoming a name in DDR. Probably her most well known song is "Bumble Bee' but I didn't add it to the songlist because I feared for it more than I did for "Typical Tropical". You can hear it here and decide for yourself.
After her two albums, On Ice and Fairytales, she was ready to make a third and even had demos but co-writer Linnea Handberg (Miss Papaya) grew tired of writing bubblegum-styled music and both projects were ended.
Now that you know who Bambee is let's find out why you had her miss the Top 60.
Typical:
@CasuallyCrazed (2) - Another Aqua imitation to my ears. I hate how obvious the chorus is.
Yeah her music is pretty straight-forward sometimes, but always 100% a bop.
@Empty Shoebox (6) - I don't love this, but it feels less phoned in than others, as if more time and effort has been spent trying to create this record.
Believe it or not, she was hard worker.
@Sprockrooster (6) - I expected more sunshine and breeziness from this song.
@ohnoitisnathan (5) - I think it's more than evident by now, if you're reading my commentary in the order that the songs in this rate are listed, that I am NOT a fan of eurodance from the point where it merged into being kiddie-pop. I don't consider this sort of music eurodance. Eurocheese, perhaps. That being said, it is kind of catchy.
Hate it all you want, but it's Eurodance all day!
@Cutlery (2.9) - This exudes a strikingly similar demonic energy than Bailando.
How long till that gets eliminated? This is certainly better in my eyes.
Tropical:
@phily693 (6) - I bop to the breakdown.
@One Stop Candy Shop (7.5) - Never heard of her before but it sure is instant.
Check out her albums if you get the chance.
@Ray (5.5) - Does “not that bad” count as a compliment?
I'll take it, just wish the score was higher haha.
@Seventeen Days (7) - The light touches of house piano and the whistle-like synth are pretty much cinching this one for me. Super catchy and fun.
Catchy and fun is all I ever need.
@31entrance (9.5) - I know I probably said this a few times here but what a bop!
That's why we did this rate, all bops and nothing else.
@sfmartin (7) - Typical Tropical summer bop. Cute, but heard it all before. I like the breakdown.
@berserkboi (8.6) - Lovely!
@WowWowWowWow (8) - I once gave Bambee my 12 points in a PJSC, and I was the only person to give it points that round. Sad! This covers alot of the same ground, which is ground that I enjoy being on.
I don't think that was me. Let's see here. Oh "Wham Bam Boogie", definitely a fan favorite. Not one of mine but still a bop.
What are my Bambee favorites you may ask? Well one of my all-time favorites songs period is this gem. Just listen to how sensual she sounds of the verses, everything about this will always be addictive to my ears. Plus you get to actually see who she is in this video.
Then "Boom Didi Da" from Fairytales which is 'Caution: extremely catchy".
"Gotta give me love-whoa-oh-oh-oh" = perfection
