This Week On Billboard: Chris Brown f. T-Pain - Kiss Kiss
This Week On Billboard is where I unabashedly critique the current no. 1 hit on Billboard.com, the major yardstick for what's "hot" in music today. In order to simplify the review for those who don't want to read the whole article, each song is given a "!" rating, in which the finest grabs five of them.
Enough with the autotuning already! Because of its extravagance this year, it now ranks no. 1 on my all-time list of musical turn-offs, surpassing the saxophone solo and Lil' Jon's "Ohhhh-kayyyyy!!!!". Now Chris Brown is in on the fun and it's so incomprehensible as to why he's doing it. It's not like he's as incompetent a singer as T-Pain that he needs to be blatant with the tool. Even without the horrible autotuning, the song itself is, at best, pedestrian with a few lyrical wtf's like "we parkin lot pimpin" and "So why is you haten my anatomy?/It's bird like (yeah)".
But, please, ban "featuring T-Pain" songs for life. Not only does he contribute an uneventful production to the track, but we also get a guest rap verse where he hyperventilates for 16 lines. Frankly, that's already 16 lines too many.
