Ayep. I accepted their free CD, listened to it, and then wrote my own review, because it was HORRIBLE. Ugh.

Actually, Mo Pie, I hadn’t seen that post. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

I would’ve emailed them back and asked if they were making a joke CD. I mean seriously, they write lyrics like they’re in 2nd grade. They make Puddle of Mudd sound like freaking geniuses. I mean that as in, I don’t like Puddle of Mudd, but even they’re better than these clowns.

As a professional musician, I must concur with your precise, concise review. The lyrics suck. The music sucks. The singing sucks. The concept sucks. The whole thing could not be more banal. Or sound more like it was written by a middle-aged white chick who desperately wants to be “cool”.

We should come up with our own mix album. Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls”, anyone?

I was totally prepared to say that everyone should be able to express themselves however they feel they need to in regards to their bodies. However, I can’t even offer any support for those songs because they do indeed suck. The writing is bad, the music is horrific and the singing sucks. It isn’t empowering (even to those of us who are fat and are actively trying not to be). My review? YUCK!

OMG!!!! “The Real Me” by Betty Myles! Slimnastics! YES! You guys are so right!

I must have read that book a dozen times! How could I forget it was in that book?

I never read “Sweet valley High.” Couldn’t even pick them up. So I read a lot of science fiction and watched “Dr. Who.”

I have never heard of the chicken fat song. It was never played while I took gym. We did do that awful “Superfit” crap that was the rage of the 70s and 80s.

I read on one of the blogs that the author of Skinny Songs was a 14 when she decided to make the CD. Size 14 is really just a regular large. That’s hardly something to get depressed about unless you are very body and food disordered.

Your review was perfect.

This is just what makes me love Mika even more. With songs like Big Girl (You are Beautiful) and Grace Kelly, I know where my music shopping dollars are being spent and it sure as heck isn’t on the tripe they’ve asked you to review.

Sorry. If looking in the mirror doesn’t shame me into losing weight, what makes them think listening to their garbage will. Um, yeah, I love myself just the way I am.
