That is a classic, it's one of those songs that if you put on around people haven't heard it everything goes quiet until one of them asks who it is

For those in the thread who haven't heard it before:

I also, ah. like, ah another girly one. It's by *cough* Miley Cyrus *cough*

*cough* The Climb *cough*

Also +1 to the Hide and Seek love. One of those rare songs that makes me stop dead.

That's an awful song.

Not just girly. Simply bad.

UK Number 1, platinum here and in America, and the 68th biggest selling single of the last decade. Along with 'Ryan Reynolds isn't good looking', this has to be up there with some of your worst opinions

. I know chart success clearly isn't the be all and end all of a good song (most chart stuff now is gash), but I find it really catchy.

It is a pretty awful song so I agree with Gilly there, but I must admit Gillbot does have some very bad opinions - such as Pink Floyd being crap. Could not be more wrong

Just stuck the headphones on at work and listened to it through again, 4 minutes of eyes closed concentration on nothing but her voice. Awesome song.

I do have a soft spot for Jojo though

@OP: I love both songs

Hide and seek is an epic track. Sad memories for me though.

Shami - you better take mine as well, I've got that in my collection. Would ruin Anastacia n' all, most joustable.

very opinionated chap, Gilly, i've noticed he likes to make it clear Beyonce is ugly and Pink Floyd are rubbish. Wrong on both counts of course but we're all allowed our opinions

Indeed, and to be fair I don't know anyone else that likes that song either

They are awesome songs

I like It's Raining Men

So basically, annoying mainstream pop is "girly"? And what's "manly" then - death metal?

My list is mainly girls singing about things that other girls are supposed to relate to. Men are not the target demographic beyond drooling at the skimpy outfits that sometimes crop up in the videos.

This does mean that boybands are girly, and I love me some Take That :eek:
