the dolls are a small example too.

wasn't girl anachronism was featured in an episode of weeds?
...and one of their songs [I forget which song] is featured in a European [I forget which country]
TV commercial [I forget what product...  dish detergent maybe...  Mister Sparkle?  ;D ]
austrian jam
I know quite quite a few people who discovered the dolls through it!
A COVER?!?!?
(or did they just doctor it in editing?)

Still, a cute spot.

I think they raised the pitch of Amanda's voice (since the original has her voice a little younger than it is currently)

i HATE it when the media does that!! they've raised the whole thing up a tone after the intro.
Why do they do it? It distorts my pitch.

Oh my God that was weird. Her pitch barely sounded human.

At first I thought it was a young and stupid dumb bitch singing over Amanda's godliness, then I listened closely.....DEAR GOD! THOSE FUCKER FUCKED WITH THE SONG! Grrrrrrrrrrrr!

That's excactly what I thought!! I had to watch it several times until I realised they hadn't changed the singer...
They probably had to raise it because Amanda's original voice would have mesmerised everyone, and the product wouldn't have got any attention...  :uglystupid2:

the high pitch does mess with you when you're used to hearing it in a lower voice.

Just because Begin To Hope had the "Regina" turned down a notch so it could get radio play doesn't mean it sucks.... It is just more poppy. I still like it. A lot. Apres Moi is an amazing song.

I just saw Narnia today and noticed that the key of "The Call" in the movie is different than the one on the soundtrack. and it's a different arrangement. to me it sounded more like a regina song then the soundtrack version does. i like it better, i wish they released that one =]

okay, i'm listening to The Call now.
After what all you guys have said, i expected this atrosity! Fair enough, it's not my personal taste and i prefer Regina's older stuff
but it's not completely throw-radio-out-the-window stuff, is it?

Don't you get it yet?

The fact that it's on the radio at all means it sucks, ipso-f'ing-facto.   :cussing:

100% sarcastic.  I quite like a lot of entirely commercial music (well, not entirely commercial,
but, say Natasha Bedingfield or The Killers...).  In fact, I've been told that my taste in music....
what was the word...  oh yeah, my taste in music sucks!  Know what?  It makes me happy, so I
really don't give a rip.  (Even if the person who said that is, basically, an all right guy, with fairly
good taste in music.)


As for the Dolls being on the radio, getting played on college stations, late-night-local-band shows,
and stations within 10 miles of your home don't count as "radio airplay."

Well as I said before... I listen to basically anything that I enjoy. It doesn't matter if it's mainstream or very obscure or in between. Obvioulsy I can tell the difference between stuff that is really well made and creative and the stuff that is just for fun. But seriously--it's music. I'm not going to confine myself to only listen to stuff because it's "underground", or vice versa. Music is my biggest love. My religion really. <33333
