Needless to say when I decided to write this review I was sceptical about the potential of a X-factor contestant who didn't even win that shambles of a show is releasing a song entitled 'Swagger Jagger'. Cher Lloyd's first single from her debut album attempts to merge a whole host of musical styles together. There is rapping a la Pitbull and some trance beats thrown in too. What results is well lets just say the scepticism was correct.
This song or noise as I'd be more inclined to call it is one of the worse I've ever heard. In my eyes it's a disgrace. It begs the question why are the people who aren't even winning the X factor being allowed to release this shit! Remember Daniel DeBourg? No me neither, needless to say that after this song I hope Cher Lloyd ends up the same way.
The song itself has a chorus which samples from the American western ballad Oh My Darling, Clementine with the repetition of "swagger jagger" and "get your game on" and for heavens sake what is a jagger? Mick Jagger? Google doesn't know. It appears that Lloyd has been taking lessons from Pitbull (Rhyming Kodak with Kodak truly a lyrical genius) with such wonderful lines. The verses follow a repetitive theme also with lines such as "you can't stop lookin at me" and "you can't stop tweetin 'bout me" . This may be true Cher but as yourself why? The looks may be due to the fact that in the video to this noise shes in some sort of retarded ensemble of clothes sure to make her stand out. Onto the Tweets, for the record if u do search Cher Lloyd's name on Twitter you will see a lot of tweets related to her. From the first page I didn't see a complimentary one lets leave it at that. As the song plods along in its continually annoying way Lloyd then begins to demand the listener to "get on the floor, get,get ,get on the floor." The way I feel about this is best summed up by Lloyd's peer rapper Example who said 'Everytime I hear the line "get on the floor" in a modern pop song I think to myself "that's genius, how do they come up with this stuff?" This is pretty much my attitude to the song and sort of the whole of chart music in general but thats another rant! Later in the song Lloyd sings "Hi haters, kiss kiss I see you later." Now, I'm glad Lloyd has comprehended that she will get haters for this song so why do it why? I attempted to find any good points about this song, still nothing springs to mind, sure Lloyd has a half-decent voice but this song does nothing more than irritate more than a rash.
In conclusion this song would be best off if it didn't exist, I can honestly say I prefered Rebecca Blacks 'Friday' to this woeful racket.Cher Lloyd might as well swagger off with her jagger (whatever one of those is!)
If any of you are feeling like depressing and annoying yourself then the link to the video is at the bottom of the page!
