EP Review: Miss Tila - Welcome To The Darkside

This will be a short review, because Welcome To The Darkside is only a short EP (3 tracks). I started listening to Tila Tequila's music about 4 years ago, I think. And from the very start, I realised you should never expect too much from her, because she's a genius at promoting herself, but she's not a genius at the stuff she's actually promoting. Get my point? With that being said, I think Welcome To The Darkside is Tila's best musical release to date. She changed her artist name from Tila Tequila to Miss Tila, and she released several songs under that name already (such as I Fucked The DJ, which is pretty much a horrible song), but I'd really tell her to stick to the classy stuff now that she has this classy name.

Her EP contains two covered songs: Blue Dress (originally by Depeche Mode) and Walking On Thin Ice (originally by Yoko Ono). I must admit, I've never heard the original songs, but I think her versions aren't that bad at all. The song Blue Dress impressed me, actually. I think she has been working on her voice, because her singing used to be a lot more "all over the place".

The song Get Me Off is an original Tila song. Its content is very sexual, yet a lot more tasteful than some other songs she's released (such as I Like To Fuck, I Fucked The DJ and Fuck Ya Man), so I give her major props for that. The music is of much better quality as well.

Walking On Thin Ice isn't my favorite, I think it's a nice song but Tila kinda sounds like a little girl doing karaoke. That is NOT a good look.

Overall, I'd say give it a try, I mean it's only 3 songs so it can't be a huge waste of time, right? It might change your opinion about Miss Tila.

Discussion: Lady GaGa

Hi everybody. This blog is one that will hopefully raise some discussion. I'd like to ask for your opinions about Lady GaGa.. She's a superstar, according to Last FM the most listened to artist at this moment..

My opinion is: yes her music is great for parties.. But lacks depth, her lyrics are very superficial. And it's not like she invented a new style of music, she just managed to combine pop and dance music in a way that makes the music right for clubs but at the same time creates the classic "pop-idol" image.. It has been done before (read: Madonna). Oh and her style has been done before as well (again, read Madonna.. if you don't agree then please Google Lady GaGa's Time Magazine cover and you'll see my point). And let's not forget about the Christina Aguilera / Gwen Stefani swagger-jacking.

But okay, all of that aside, because I really like GaGa's music.. What do we think, is GaGa the future? Will she be the Queen of Pop in a few years and will she still be popular in 20 years? That is the big question and I'd like to know your opinions about it. Oh and.. what's your favorite GaGa song? :) Mine is Fashion, which has also been recorded by Heidi Montag (the girl Tila Tequila is always bashing because of her plastic surgery).
