On the Justin Timberlake thread, Falconator asserted that Nelly Furtado's 'Promiscuous' is the best single of C21. The following discussion ensued...
Kali
Nuh-uh, for me, "Sexyback" is that single. I heart it because it makes me feel so deliciously dirty.
Me
Is this the appropriate place to argue about what the greatest single of the 21st century actually is? Because believe me, I will!
Kali
The gauntlet has been thrown down.
Me
Yeah but there's not even any challenge, cause neither of the songs named so far are even in the top twenty. You're going to have to throw the guantlet harder than that.
Falconator
Start a thread, baby. I'm torn 'twixt Promiscuous and Cry Me A River, actually.
Now, the irony is that Falconator has already ruled himself out of serious contention, because neither Promiscuous nor Cry Me A River are even the best singles released by their respective artists this century (being beaten out by, on the one hand, Maneater, and by Like I Love You and Rock Your Body, and probably Sexyback, on the other).
Basic rules: You can lay down your choice, and explain why, or you can criticise other posters choices, or you can criticise other posters criticisms. I think its better if we restrict it to mainstreamish anglo-american pop, although I fully expect you all to ignore me on this. (I am saying this because otherwise I am going to spend weeks trying to figure out what I think is the best dancehall single of the last few years, because it is almost certainly the actually correct answer to this question, but hardly anyone here will argue about it with me, hence, no fun.) |
