I have listened to this song a number of times since first hearing about it a few days ago which got me thinking; why in the hell have I subjected myself to this filth multiple times? The answer? Like any great piece of shit, this one is layered. Sure, at first listen I noticed the simplistic lyrics, the nasal singing, the auto tune that Kanye would find excessive, but I just didn't beleive a song could be that crappy. Yes, in the world of Justin Beiber, Ke$sha, and others too numerous to name, this song took my breath away. I don't think my, or any human brain for that matter, can take this garbage in all at once. So I listened to it again, and again, each time honing in on one particular aspect, confirming along the way that yes, the lyrics really are that bad, yes, she really really really can't sing, and yes, that really is a generous use of auto-tune....really. I had to make sure my first impressions were correct, because, like I said, I just couldn't beleive a song could get it wrong on so many different levels. My brain was in cognitive dissonance. Not any more. Now my brain is sad.
Some of you may think I'm exagerating, and I am, though only a little, but true story, after my most recent listen of this song I VOMITTED! Now, it could be just coincidence, OR, my body was trying to reject something I had forced into it's system the only way it knew how. I wonder if I listen to the song again will my ears start to bleed?
P.S. Don't get me started on the music video.
