Interesting article with video links to what the Hollywood Reporter considered the best of European songs this year.
Sort of fun to see what is a hit in other countries
OK, slogged through that. I agree that it is interesting to see what some magazine thinks is the best of Europe. Maybe I’m getting old, I clicked on every video and turned most of them off shortly after for the following reasons:
- autotune nightmare
- Lady Gaga wannabe
- Amy Winehouse retro-wannabe
- uninspired song by reasonably hot female singer/songwriter
The one I kept on the longest was the last from Spain. It kind of reminded me of the Flying Lizards for some reason. I could see it being fun in a club, but it loses steam otherwise.
