So Bad It's Good

I was listening to former Spice Girl Emma Bunton's version of "Crickets Sing for Anna Maria" on You Tube last week and songs by Spice Girl Geri Halliwell popped up in the sidebar. I found myself listening to Geri's song "Look at Me" and thinking how great the song would be if Geri could actually sing. "Look at Me" is a good song and if it had a good singer, it'd be a great song. It's upbeat and catchy and the video is in a black and white La Dolce Vita mode. Too bad Ginger Spice can barely carry a tune. (The bridge is especially painful to listen to.) Still, "Look at Me" is so bad it's good. The same goes for "Nasty Girl" by Vanity 6. Vanity can't sing worth a damn, but "Nasty Girl" still rocks. The beat alone makes it worth it to sit through her heavy breathing that passes as singing. "Nasty Girl" is a classic now and maybe the same will be said for "Look at Me" in another ten or twenty years.
