It may be a novelty, but it's also awesome, so...
This is also an iconic bop:
Kusha Las Payas > Asereje.
(I still gave Asereje a 7.5.)

Aww, that was my last zero. What a shame.

I read it. I still think it’s a very specific objection.
They’re only called Las Ketchup because their father was a famous flamenco musician called El Tomate (hence why the title of their debut album translates to “Daughters of El Tomate”). The ketchup reference has nothing to do with any of their songs.
I assume the English title of Asereje was added by the label to push it as a novelty song.
I saw Patti in concert a few years back and it was fucking terrible. She's in her 70's but the power and range of her voice is still phenomenal. The problem is when that impressive power and range is used to continuously sing the wrong notes. And worse to continuously sing the wrong notes and then hold them for as long as humanly possibly whilst getting louder and louder and screechier and screechier.
A woman sat in front of me had her fingers in he ears. People started leaving in droves.
One of the worst shows I've ever been to and I saw Amy Winehouse live!!!
It's not Patti singing.

Tea continues to be spilled! So Glad you participated here! :D
I think he's a drug dealer.
Just gonna leave this here because there is an amazing Cher video for every occasion....
I once met Nona Hendryx on a bus on Oxford Street. She was getting on at the wrong door so I showed her the correct one.

Las Ketchup – The Ketchup Song
Average Score: 6.309
OK, if Macarena has a higher average in the 90s rate I'll be really upset!
In case you wanna know the "brazilian Girls Aloud" (they were formed in the brazilian version of the Popstars thing), here's the version in Portuguese
I literally have a ketchup phobia so this was never going to do very well with me even if it wasn't total shite.

Your taste level in this rate has me confused.
Just to make sure the hordes of PJ'ers rushing to the record stores search for the right titles:
The dad's name is actually Tomatito (Little Tomato, so's you won't think he's too full of himself or anything) - seen here ripping it up with Camarón, arguably the greatest flamenco singer of all time:

I did compare them to Taylor in my commentary, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by this shade.

I'll just say that I certainly didn't give Macarena a higher score.

Hey, at least it managed a 6.3 average.
I'm shocked to see it bomb out before the top 50, though. I knew it was divisive, but I thought it had more fans than that.

Ha! Spoiler for the next to go - an even more polarising track departs!

A seventies one, I would guess.

If you’re going to pick any modern artist as comparison, it’s clearly Lana Del Rey.
