La Roux..crap not crap

[johnnymarrsbars]

I can almost guarantee that regardless of who mixes her snotty posh voice absolutely nobody will be listening to this in one years time.

And she is pig ugly

whether shes ugly or not has got nothing to do with anything.


and shes not ugly at all.

crap

 

[idioteque]

I really like the Skream 'Let's Get Ravey' remix of In For The Kill, but don't like anything else I've heard by La Roux.

 

[gabi]

Bummed out to see I've already voted on this poll. I went for crap. I'd like to change that to utterly fucking crap.

And immensely irritating (for those of us who have to see her swanning around brixton in her 'wacky' outfits)

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I think sort of like her. There is fuck all singing lyric or song-writing talent but there is something about the kill and bulletproof that I can't help but like. Not enough to go out and buy anything mind. Maybe she just looks good compared to everything else out at the moment.

 

[souljacker]

I like it. Not massively, but yeah, it'll do.

 

[temper_tantrum]

I quite liked her at first but my opinion has declined since then. Her stuff lacks depth. Can anyone honestly say they'll still be listening to it in 5 years' time? I doubt it.

 

[ChrisFilter]

I fucking love her. I'm surprised at some of the people who don't.

 

[Gerry1time]

That her name's reminiscent of a sauce that tastes of fuck all and has been made a million times before just about sums it up for me.

Bulletproof sounds like a shit Yazoo B-side.

I disagree. I think it sounds like a good Yazoo B-side

I like La Roux- nice tunes that go 'plinky plinky plonk' for a bit and then stop

 

[ska invita]

Below average nothing pop but with nice polished and intriguing marketing. Reminds me of the Ting Tings in that respect.

Not interested in La Roux (or Ting Tings) to check it out and form an opinion, but it seems we are in a time of cool pop music, which has to be some kind of improvement on an era of bros, new knobs on the block, duran duran, kylie jason, bananarama, etc...

 

[themonkeyman]

Really bad but I do love that skream remix.

 

[Flashman]

I like it, but I'm a sucker for anything vaguely 80s keyboardey, like that Chromeo one. Can see how her voice is a bit Marmite, I love it.

Fascination a good 'un.

She's all about the remixes. Check out the Zinc remix of Bulletproof... bloomin' lovely.

Duran Duran were a band and wrote their own songs. They were also pretty good songs. I'm not sure you can lump them with Kylie & Jason, NKOTB or Bananarama

I also love early 80s synthpop, and anything that stands alongside overproduced girl and boy bands and tiresome R'n'B that STILL sounds exactly the same as records that were made in 1995 must be good.

"Bulletproof" is a cracking tune. Occasionally her voice is a little screechy but the album is a good listen, even if it's hardly deep. It's kind of like ordering a takeaway pizza which is made in two minutes and biked to you by some nutter on a moped, rather than going out to some joint where the dough is lovingly rolled fresh and the thing is baked in a proper brick oven and served by a fat jolly Italian bloke with a big laugh. There is a place for it.

 

[johnnymarrsbars]

i think she's cool as fuck.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Is la roux named after a roux. Like the Roux??

You stir the roux.

 

[paolo]

In In For The Kill, the first ever British pop vocalist to correctly pronounce "not", rather than pretend to be American.

(Saw a bit of her set at Glastonbury. Unless she was cheating with Autotune, her voice is pitch perfect. Sounds exactly like it does on record.)

 

[chazegee]

A hit for the Gingers, undoing some of the damage done by the spice girls.

 

[Boycey]

Yes. Yes I am.

I don't know how to do a family tree without fucking it up, but try this on for size.

R&B -> garage -> grime -> dubstep

But you're probably going to disagree with that so BAM what about this baby

disco -> house -> us garage -> garage etc., and you know full well disco is heavily influenced by R&B.

You can't escape it, La Roux would be getting bullied in Herne Hill were it not for R&B.

nah- dancehall was knocking around dodgy croydon pubs with jungle and drum n bass, had a kid called dubstep. no one's sure who the biological dad is but they all get on well enough to share parenthood

 

[perplexis]

She's still cack.
