VH1 Strikes Again

4 replies

Another Roxette gem has fallen to VH1’s Awesomely Bad lists.

First was The Look (#1s were the target).

This time it was It Must Have Been Love and a shocking #9 of Awesomely Bad (or was it cheesy?) Breakup Songs.

Typically, there were snarky comments about the title (How can you NOT know it was love?) and a series of riffs on the laying of whispers on pillows. I was a bit surprised by it myself. Roxette just can’t get no love no how.

It reminded me of the Q Magazine review of The Ballad Hits: Under the picture (from HAND sessions I guessed—Marie on a big white box looking down, Per may have had his face covered by his hands) was a caption that read something like “We’d be ashamed too.”

Some people have little appreciation for great music these days. It’s sad, really.

Some people THINK they know what constitutes “good” music.

If this song was so ’bad’, please tell me why it was #1 for so long?

if imhbl was as bad as vh1 said it was how come that it was the only song to be released twice & reaching the top 5 on both occasions?

VH1 is weird. On one show, it’s voted as one of the 100 best love songs of ALL TIME, and on this show, it’s an awesomely bad break-up song? Make up your mind, peeps!
