I think Justin's great on 'Love Sex Magic' - it's a FS/LS knock-off, sure, but crucially it's FS/LS with Justin's ego, which made that album pall for me in the end, kept in control. (I mean, not his "I'm hot" ego, that whole "I am making an Important Pop Album" ego. He's free to just be his sexy self here.) (Yes, at least half the reason I love the song is the line "if you wanna grab my neck, talk sexy to me like that" - YES PLEASE JUSTIN.) (Also, we can mock Ciara all we like for desperately scrabbling around a grab-bag of sounds for a hit, and it'd be legit, but it appears to be...working for her! If this kickstarts the Fantasy Ride campaign properly, it'll have done it's job. Like 'Turnin' Me On' did for In A Perfect World.)
I mean, obviously what Ciara needs to do now is release
1) 'Echo' 2) 'High Price' 3) 'Work'
And we'll have had an album campaign to be proud of.
As for Flo Rida, I think it's more the Europop ruining him (and he wasn't especially great to start with). I HAAAATE that Eiffel 65 song so much.
As for Lil' Wayne, I am really just endeavouring to pretend that this entire atrocity of a project doesn't exist - am now v thankful that the UK is ignoring him.
I have nothing inherently against how Justin sings it except that it undoes what Ciara had been doing. It's almost like a second song. But this is still an early impression.
