Krista Siegfrids – Amen!

“She’s divorced and back out on the pull.”

Tim: Tom, you’ll be glad to heard that Finland’s somewhat manic wannabe fiancée has given up on the whole marriage idea, largely because it didn’t work out for her – two months later, she’s divorced and back out on the pull. Let’s see how she gets on, shall we?

Tom: Crikey, you know the intro with that distorted version of her Eurovision track? That’s pretty much how I heard it the first time.

Tim: Well, as far as I’m concerned that divorce has done wonders for her, musically at least, because I really like that.

Tom: Really? Sounds to me like she’s trying to be a Gwen Stefani knockoff, and she’s not really managing it.

Tim: You think? Obviously it wouldn’t have suited a Eurovision entry (though as it turned out, neither did Marry Me, which was a bit of a shame), but it’s a big pop number with a lot going for it.

Tom: I suppose the Big Pop Bits aren’t all that bad, but those verses just clunk so badly that I can’t say it holds together as a track.

Tim: I disagree – I reckon it works well. Sounds almost Gaga-ish, or at least round about 2010-era with verses taken from Ke$ha back around then as well.

Tom: Which means she’s about three years too late. You’re right with both of those comparisons, it’s just that they seem to have lost a lot in translation.

Tim: Hmm. All your negativity’s got me slightly worried again about an issue I’ve mentioned before – would I like this if it was a Ke$ha track? I don’t know, but I do know that, whatever you say, I like it as a Krista Siegfrids track, which is what it is. Amen for that.

Tom: I’ll just pray it doesn’t get airplay over here.

Tim: Well, that’s probably a given.
