Talking about “”A Thing About You” begins to climb the charts”
ok- many ppl here said that they don’t like video or even the song ,that ATAY wouldn’t be a hit cos there no sound of crashing guitars ,cos lyrics are not so good as before or stuff like that..
so lets take a look at European top 20(european is hard to say-more than half is not European ,but no matter)– they showed only 10 best songs this morning
1. Las Ketchup - The Ketchup Song
-i’m a latin dance lover but didn’t like it very much
video is very simple..
2. Eminem - Without Me
–eminem’s show -what more to say
3. Elvis Presley - A Little Less Conversation
- the King is dead- that just a imitation
4. Avril Lavigne - Complicated
–lets see her next song
5. Tiziano Ferro - Perdono
someone please translate lyrics- the video doesn’t give a chance to understand what he sing about
6. Shakira - Underneath Your Clothes
7. Will Smith - Black Suits Comin’ (Nod Ya Head)
—Nod Ya Head??!!
8. Nelly - Hot In Herre
-niked ppl in the room,ooh come on -stay cool- and open windows..
9. Jennifer Lopez - I’m Gonna Be Alright
again half niked ppl ,but walking on the street
10. Coldplay - In My Place
melody is catchy,video-few guys playing in the bluish room
so question is –
Is ATAY good enough to replace at least one of these songs?

ATAY is WAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than any of these songs. Eminem... Ketchup Song.... brrrrr. This Top 20 is a SHAME.
Actually I like Perdono from Tiziano Ferro. The title means “Forgive me” and she ask a girl to forgive him for the things he did. Basically the meaning ofd the whole song is “Forgive me for what I did, those things cannot be undone, but please smile on me, I give you a rose, let’s start a new friendship” uh-u-u-u-u-uuuh

OK, the songs I can listen to from that top 10 without having a headache are:
Avril Lavigne - Complicated
Tiziano Ferro - Perdono
Coldplay - In My Place
The others suck. However, I’m almost sure that ATAY won’t make it to MTV’s European TOP20.

it just depends on how much money the big bosses
throw at the video/radio corporations.
ahhh the “demands of global capitalism”.
but you knew that already my friend ;)
