What do we think of this utterly joyous corker from 2011? I love "Good Girl" too, but this takes the cake, JUST, its just so fucking giddy

 
FOND MEMORIES of having a near out of body experience dancing to the Freemasons remix in Cruz after hearty lungful of Jungle Juice Platinum.
 
I liked this a lot. It stood out in that obnoxious, LMFAO, Pitbull era of stupid dance-pop songs for being slightly subtler and trippy-sounding, like a soundtrack to a weird dream with that repetitive, hypnotic sample. It makes me want to dance with Miley.
 
Joyous would definitely be the word. I was surprised she (briefly) managed a top ten album though, she was so anonymous.
 
Fabulous.

Good Girl was okay, and Hush Hush was TREMENDOUS (Cahill Mix especially).
 
what happened to this bitch?

'Good Girl' is pop perfection make no mistake, other than that..nah
 
Wasn't this originally offered to Kylie or something? Or she used the Deadmau5 instrumental on a b-side at least.

Anyway, LOVED this and Good Girl, the whole album was pretty good actually but sadly the third single flopped... there was the Sean Paul feature, then a near-comeback with Bingo Players-sampling Acid Rain but it didn't get a proper release in the end.

The cusp of the late 00s/early 10s was such a great era for female dance/pop.
 
Really solid track and still sounds good now. Loved the song she did with Sean Paul too.

Was kinda sad that nothing became of her.
 
It's majestic, like a Clubland Aliyaah. Launch a star it did not, it has the same sort of DB Boulevard Point of View feel to my ears. If this had went to Cristina Milian, Lutricia McNeal, Wynter Gordon or a Glee girl it might have a better status, but she did keep it going with the soundalike follow-ups.
 
I was umming and aahing over what to give this as it's in that weird zone between dated and fashionably retro, but then I remembered the sheer strength of the chorus and had to give it a 10
 
Also my mum HATED this song with a passion but then she also hates Bananarama ("get any three girls in a bathroom and they'd sound just as good") so FUCK HER!

I always preferred it over that Rihanna/Drake "Oh na na" song.

then you should try Kelly Rowland's duet with Sean Paul "How deep is your love" as well. This was Stargate's most awful drought, they all sound like the same song :(
 
QUITE a strange video, and WHO invested in her career? What a bizarre POP TART! What does she even do now? :D

One huge smash, one QUITE BIG follow up, another charting song then ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

Down and out before she even turned 20!
 
It's good and I like it but it's no Freemasons remix of 'Good Girl'

REALLY.

The mmm-hmmm-mmm's are SUBLIME.

Plus it came out at the best time of my life which always helps.

Okay I’ll give you that.
Is NOW not the best time though, replace with MELANIE C
 
Happiness, to me, is a really ASTONISHING pop song.

the instrumental is a GROOVE, the topline she (and Stargate) constructed over it is outrageously catchy (and a perfect fit - something Kylie could not accomplish with her attempt), and Alexis' vocal is simply a pleasure to behold - the sheer elasticity with which she moves from that casual, airy falsetto of the first chorus into the lower register of the verse and then to the BELTING of the second and third choruses... that is a vocalist, ladies and gentlemen. all discerning homos should bow at the altar of this song. it just perfectly encapsulates joy, romance and release.
 
I don’t know about you but I wanted to know more about the OLIVE OIL CAKE.
 
Oh and I do find it strange how backing tracks are passed from pillar to post for topliners to create a song over. The fact that Kylie was in contention to release a version is just silly. I think they gave up on that pretty quickly.
 
I think in this case the instrumental track by Deadmau5 just got a lot of attention and two different producers/popstars worked on making a song from it independently, rather than it being passed around specifically
