Negative Stars, Anyone?

18 replies

Why are people so negative towards ’Anyone’ and ’Stars’? In my opinion they are 2 excellent songs - Anyone, being my all time fave Roxette song.

Also the videos to these two songs are also - in my opinion - two of the best videos Roxette have done aswell!!!!!

Anyone, quite ok for me
Stars, because it’s so NOT Roxette

What are you smoking?

Please tell me that this is a joke: Do you really think that Stars is one of the best roxette videos?

except for the bit where Marie is ’dancing’ I do agree its indeed the best video by roxetet ever - after MATAH that is

i do like the stars-video, too.
shows that they have a great bunch of humor and are able to joke about themselves being famous.

i hate the song, thought, because i don’t like techno sounds.
everybody is different

euh... Stars a good video?? ha ha ha!! very funny.
the old video (before HAND) are so better than the news ones...

She Doesn’t Live Here Anymore video is the BEST!! and Firework, Joyride, How Do You Do...

I like WICF Video, and the video from RS are good too.

agree, SDLHA is rox’ best video ever? it ROXXX, 2nd is Fireworks.

Jesus. Stars SUX as a video...and as a song it is not that good either because it is not a typical rox tune. It is good to dance to it in a disco, but certainly not a song people would ever associate with Roxette.

Anyone and Salvation are indeed two songs of the HAND-album I usually skip.
I cannot explain it, but it are 2 more or less similar songs.
I have the same with “You don’t understand me”“.
It is just not the style for me, I am more into the
Dangerous, Fireworks, Opportunity NOx, June Afternoon kinda style.

I have to agree with... Chester !!!
“Anyone” is a splendid Burt Bacharach influenced ballad (listen to Dionne Warwick’s “Anyone who had a heart” and you’ll see what I mean) but great drama and beautiful strings arrangement.
“Stars” is a great dance pop tune which is a bit of a change for Roxette and change can never be a bad thing in music. And I also think it has a beautifully shot, very down to earth and funny video. Almost camp !!

what shit... STARS not being Roxette... that they luckily recorded it is the still the ultimate prove that the stupid teenie bubble-gum ’joyride’ days are over now. btw, love the anton corbijn & jesper hiro productions

its because some fans wrre very against roxette dusting themselves off and updating their sound.

anyone is such a magnificent ballad.....and stars no matter what style you perform it in is a great song as well.

Anyone is one of Roxette’s greatest recordings ever. I like Stars, but think it somehow sounds a bit like Childish or silly dance music.

One thing is, however that SDLHA isn’t really a rox song, cuz it’s recorded by GT, under the name Roxette....

And the anti-stars/anyone catfight among roxette fans still goes.... i wonder when will it end? propably never...

We were talking about the videos only...
I love Stars, but the video sucks

Anyone is not that bad (not good either)
Stars is simply NOT Roxette.
Stars is: Shooting Star feat. MF
Words & Music PG

this songs aren’t bad,no the best ones but still

about videos.. throughout the years my opinion about “stars”video has change and now i don’t hate it as in the beginning,going closer to idea that it..
“shows that they have a great bunch of humor and are able to joke ....”
but i still think that the video cross (a little ,but cross) the fine line from funny to ridiculous..
you know this.. fine line from our pleasure to our pain:-))
