Posted July 31, 200717 yr Just heard my 15 year old daughter listening to this & it made a refreshing change to the speed garage that she normally infects my ears with. It's by a 17 year old kid from Jamaica & will probably be in the charts next week. Thing I really want to know is what everyone on here thinks as it samples a classic soul song. A breath of fresh air or sacrilidge? Go to the link below & click on Beautiful Girl on the music player or scroll down a bit & watch the video. https://www.myspace.com/seankingston BTW, it's had 5 1/2 million hits so somebody must like it.
July 31, 200717 yr I think its crap, however, it will properly top the charts, did not listen to it all, I found it boring, sampling is always going to happen they will sample everything now, especially with all this tech we have,
August 1, 200717 yr Already on the charts here in the US! I am work right now and can count 3 times that I've heard this in less than 2 1/2 hours......
August 1, 200717 yr Just played it on air now...it's one of those tunes that will drive you spare in a very short time. Good fun at first though!
August 6, 200717 yr "Stand By Me" may not be in need of a revival. It has already been revived a number of times and is so well-established. Sampling has done more for more obscure artists like Tom Brock that all of a sudden became sought after by hip-hop heads. Melismo
