i love both :p

zeeshan said on February 4, 2003 13:42:

I guess by now all of you have heared Opportunity Nox “atleast” 50 times. And we have heared COTH hundreds of times. Sooo, what do you think? Is ON better than COTH?

For me, ON is defenitely better than COTH!!!!!!! I heared that COTH appeared at #1 on some radio stations while ON made it to #3 in some German Radio (where they seem to hit a bang everytime they release new stuff). What do you think? ON is better? or is it just our excitment about some new Roxette uptempo Pop song?

Opportunity Nox ?
Not a patch on “The Centre Of The Heart” really...
Even “Real Sugar” was better.

gyllene_tjej said on February 4, 2003 13:58:

Opprtunity Nox is undoubtedly the best!!! It rrrrocks most! :)

rox-kuryliw said on February 4, 2003 14:01:

sorry i just love the backing track on TCOTH.
plus marie sings alot.

SuiraM said on February 4, 2003 14:05:

No, COTH is a mutch better song. I‘m a bit dissapointed over ON. It doesnt have that extra kick that makes it a catchy song. Too simple and boring for me.

s-czopek said on February 4, 2003 14:07:

Opportunity Nox is second best kind of song.
Like “Dangerous”, “Big L.”, “She doesn’t live...” : worst Roxette songs... Rock arrangements BUT Eurovision Song Contest chorus...

Santi said on February 4, 2003 14:08:

So I’m not the only one that thinks the chorus sound Eurovision!!!! :DDDD

i_jera said on February 4, 2003 14:11:

Opportunity Nox is better, IMO.

onlywhenidream said on February 4, 2003 14:23:

TCOTH Rox..... Opportunity only Nox....

s-czopek said on February 4, 2003 14:55:

Santi, you’re not alone !!!

coyboyusa said on February 4, 2003 17:06:

tcoth was much much more radio friendly i have to say

zeeshan said on February 4, 2003 17:14:

mmmm lots of mixed opinions! :)

I think ON is more danceable than COTH. We played COTH back at our new year party and people were enjoying COY more than COTH!!! If COY can do that then imagine what the extremely fast beats of ON can do! :) Just my little opinion.

Dear Zeeshan!

You’re trying to compare something uncoparable... Don’t waste your time listening to COTH, it’s a shit!

daniel_alv said on February 4, 2003 17:32:

i tyink On is great, and it will be a it... but i think coth maybe was better

PiterPam said on February 4, 2003 17:58:

ON has a good dance tempo. Coth, Stars, mmhgp and Coy are to slow to be danceable.
And that guitarsound brings a really good freshness in that song. I like it 1000x better than centre

@SuriaM
If I hear the chorus of Coth, I think that this is the most boring part of any Rox-song. Especially the melodie is very strengh. Im very happy that Roxette leaves that syntheziser-style.

room-service said on February 4, 2003 18:45:

of course the newest track is (in a way) always the best - you listen to it all the time and can’t stop doing so ;)

But for me TCOTH is much better than ON - I think in some years, when ON isn’t the newest track anymore, some of you will think the same ;-)

dizzydaleks said on February 4, 2003 18:48:

COTH is better is my opinion, but I’m just a sucker for Marie’s voice! Also, I can’t help but chuckle at the thought of Per being in love with a hair do! he he :)

Jackeill said on February 4, 2003 19:01:

tcoth is a shitty teen pop without any guitar it suxxx a lot and i didn’t like it from the very begining.... on is not the best song but for me it’s 1000x better then tcoth...

roxtexanet said on February 4, 2003 19:01:

Too close to call... I really love “OpNox,” but “TCOTH” is one of my favourite songs ever. So both are fantastic! This is what I love about Roxette... trying to decide which of their many fantastic songs is best is SO difficult (:

fireworks said on February 4, 2003 19:06:

i would say ON is much better BUT ON IS DEFINITELY MISSING MARIE’S VOICE!!!

Imagine if Marie would sing, how much better it would...for example the part she sings in Jefferson makes the song sound a whole lot better

Another example....How Do You Do...her voice empowers the song and adds another element...

I miss her voice in this song...ON is definitely missing that element

Anybody feel the same way???

Checkin In
Checkin Out....

s-czopek said on February 4, 2003 19:16:

Yes !!!
I do !!!
I don’t think Per should sing alone...

cskendras said on February 4, 2003 20:01:

ON will be a huge hit....!!!

harriej said on February 4, 2003 20:11:

Difficult,

Both are good songs.
At this moment I think ON is a better song, but maybe that’s because it is brand new.
Could be that after a couple of months, when the
“new” is off this song, a comparison is more fair.

Sanglof said on February 4, 2003 20:18:

I think “ON” is much, much, much better

bunny said on February 4, 2003 20:27:

definitely ON, because it sticks to my head on first listen, while COTH took 20 times to get to that stage

wendy said on February 4, 2003 20:40:

euh.......i heard it just 1 time,and i think TCOTH is so much better :o

ABFFP said on February 4, 2003 22:15:

I go for ON, even though it’s new:)))

Alesvenska said on February 4, 2003 23:49:

ON is The Best since SIMC

DaminehGessle said on February 5, 2003 00:00:

ON is very cool. I believe COTH is a very cool cool song. COTH, ON, STARS, 7 20 7, these 4 are just the best to listen to on the threadmill. COTH has a better rhythm to it that ON I think.

LoneGunman said on February 5, 2003 01:21:

TCOTH SUCKS

ON RULES !!! :)

All the best

zeeshan said on February 5, 2003 08:28:

I guess Per should sing more!!!! Marie sings all the time!!!!! Wha is the matter guys? I like Per’s voice and I love to hear his demos because I don’t get to hear much his voice in Rox songs!! GO PER GO!

zeeshan said on February 5, 2003 08:28:

JoyRidErno said on February 5, 2003 19:29:

At least today I think ON is best since SIMC.

Alfonsette said on February 5, 2003 21:43:

Oportunity nox ———-> 10+
TCOTH ——————-> 7

Mexxikaner said on February 5, 2003 22:24:

Of course ON (COTH was bulshit!)!!!!!

SkyDrum said on February 6, 2003 01:53:

In my opinion, COTH is much better than ON if we consider them as pop songs. Because ON is very repetitive and if you take a listen, the first part is very similar to the second part of ON. Besides this, COTH has more meaning in the lyrics, a couple that can’t conquer each other, but they get excited, amazed about each other... And ON just says that he lives in a box and when a girl appears he makes a visit to the outside of the box, just that! I like more COTH because of its lyrics and musical sound. Cheers!

RobS said on February 6, 2003 07:07:

i like both songs, they both have their merits

but for now ON rocks!!

coyboyusa said on February 6, 2003 10:16:

on is borrrrrrring after 3 listenings

zeeshan said on February 6, 2003 10:33:

These days the lyrics don’t mean a thing. FOr you and me they might and do but for the teens they don’t. Songs produced by boybands and female artists like Britney spears hardly mean a thing but they are hit. Why?? because if one can shake his/her ass with it and has a cool video running on the idiot box then it is considered to be a “KOOL” song!
