The stickman from the hilarious "xkcd" comics, Sunday, 8 June 2008 22:45 (seventeen years ago)

lol u forgot the all of them option lol

J0rdan S., Sunday, 8 June 2008 22:46 (seventeen years ago)

the answer is ain't no other man which is the worst single of all time possibly

J0rdan S., Sunday, 8 June 2008 22:47 (seventeen years ago)

like when we all go to hell it's just gonna be fire and that HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! sound on a loop for the rest of eternity >_<

J0rdan S., Sunday, 8 June 2008 22:47 (seventeen years ago)

Candyman = even worse than Ain't no other man.

jim, Sunday, 8 June 2008 22:48 (seventeen years ago)

But it's a close-run thing.

jim, Sunday, 8 June 2008 22:48 (seventeen years ago)

Went for "Can't Hold Us Down". Still not sure whether the video for that is really really racist or just a little racist.

The stickman from the hilarious "xkcd" comics, Sunday, 8 June 2008 22:49 (seventeen years ago)

there really is no worse moment in the world than a shitty song ending on the radio followed by you getting all optimistic about the next song and then HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

J0rdan S., Sunday, 8 June 2008 22:50 (seventeen years ago)

"Candyman" is horrendous though, like a 1970s variety show sketch if they didn't credit the audience with enough intelligence to work the double entendres out themselves.

The stickman from the hilarious "xkcd" comics, Sunday, 8 June 2008 22:50 (seventeen years ago)

Beautiful
Fighter

^^^goth broads really dick these two songs

The stickman from the hilarious "xkcd" comics, Sunday, 8 June 2008 22:52 (seventeen years ago)

im aight w/ "beautiful", there are 4239849 ballads like it and it's not even in the same universe of active annoyance as 'aint no other man' or 'candyman'

J0rdan S., Sunday, 8 June 2008 22:57 (seventeen years ago)

Insanity. That song is tremendous.

Anyway, "Candyman" is the worst, but "Car Wash" is prob. the least necessary, if you want to phrase it that way.

The Reverend, Sunday, 8 June 2008 23:01 (seventeen years ago)

the voice within is awful

beautiful is great

fighter is AMAAAAAZING, u've got to be kidding

Surmounter, Sunday, 8 June 2008 23:01 (seventeen years ago)

yeah aint no other man is certainly not necessary being the lead single from a huge album but ill take any chance i can get to talk shit about that song

J0rdan S., Sunday, 8 June 2008 23:03 (seventeen years ago)

is certainly not not necessary*

J0rdan S., Sunday, 8 June 2008 23:04 (seventeen years ago)

i love that album

Surmounter, Sunday, 8 June 2008 23:16 (seventeen years ago)

I don't remember the middle stretch. Does she sing on them?

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Sunday, 8 June 2008 23:21 (seventeen years ago)

cute =)

Surmounter, Sunday, 8 June 2008 23:22 (seventeen years ago)

Nelly, Nelly, you make me so sweaty baby

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 8 June 2008 23:33 (seventeen years ago)

voted "I Turn To You" btw

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 8 June 2008 23:33 (seventeen years ago)

(Xtina's "Sometimes," right?)

Tape Store, Sunday, 8 June 2008 23:36 (seventeen years ago)

Also the Mulan song is missing...not that it would get my vote

Tape Store, Sunday, 8 June 2008 23:36 (seventeen years ago)

I'm just thinking in terms of what's least essential in terms of the Pop Tart ---> Xtina ---> I AM A SOUL GODDESS NO REALLY narrative

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 8 June 2008 23:39 (seventeen years ago)

wasnt there a christmas single in there somewhere?

Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Sunday, 8 June 2008 23:41 (seventeen years ago)

i'm going with "Tell Me" since i'm not even aware that it was a single.

Roz, Sunday, 8 June 2008 23:50 (seventeen years ago)

She never topped her opening streak, methinks.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Sunday, 8 June 2008 23:53 (seventeen years ago)

Tell Me = Diddy song w/ xtina

The Reverend, Sunday, 8 June 2008 23:57 (seventeen years ago)

"The Voice Within" because it's so, so boring. At least "Candyman" is an entertaining kind of awful.

Wasn't that "Reflection" song from Mulan a single?

!Alicia!, Monday, 9 June 2008 02:01 (seventeen years ago)

i love candyman

Surmounter, Monday, 9 June 2008 02:03 (seventeen years ago)

I like "Candyman" the least, but "Lady Marmalade" sort of defines "unnecessary".

C0L1N B..., Monday, 9 June 2008 02:19 (seventeen years ago)

xposts ah right i do know "Tell Me". meh diddy's pretty unnecessary too.

Roz, Monday, 9 June 2008 04:40 (seventeen years ago)

"Fighter" and "Ain't No Other Man" are tremendous performances. "Beautiful" is retarded on an unbelievable level, but she sings it well.

roxymuzak, Monday, 9 June 2008 04:50 (seventeen years ago)

Nothing is worse than "Fighter" as evidenced by the fact that it is pretty much the biggest hit among trannies over the past 10 years or so.

myndbloom, Monday, 9 June 2008 05:24 (seventeen years ago)

Um.

roxymuzak, Monday, 9 June 2008 05:26 (seventeen years ago)

It's quite necessary then!

Tape Store, Monday, 9 June 2008 05:29 (seventeen years ago)

myndbloom is like billboard for trannys

CHALLOPS: THE THREAD

max, Monday, 9 June 2008 06:36 (seventeen years ago)

breaking news, internet message board poster fails to detect intentional exaggeration, story at 6

J0rdan S., Monday, 9 June 2008 06:38 (seventeen years ago)

not that im not firing a challops machine gun in this thread or anything, just saying

J0rdan S., Monday, 9 June 2008 06:40 (seventeen years ago)

The lady doth protest too much, methinks

max, Monday, 9 June 2008 06:42 (seventeen years ago)

you were exaggerating, so its not a challop.

makes sense.

roxymuzak, Monday, 9 June 2008 06:42 (seventeen years ago)

Candyman is kind of annoying, but it's not that bad. If it's her worst single she's doing pretty well.

"lol u forgot the all of them option lol"

dude just admit you like some christina aguilera songs. It's ok.

Matt Armstrong, Monday, 9 June 2008 07:39 (seventeen years ago)

pretty much all of her singels are awful, but she does have some pretty great album tracks ;like 'get mine get yours,' "loving me4 me", "makes me wanna pray" etc... "fighter" is prob the worst, hate that song

The Brainwasher, Monday, 9 June 2008 07:40 (seventeen years ago)

"lovin me 4 me" is amazing, if she had more songs liek that it'd be amazing, she should sing like that more often and not sound constipated like shoe mormally does

man if i take the ever take the challops crown from matt armstrong ill quit ilx

J0rdan S., Monday, 9 June 2008 08:14 (seventeen years ago)

After reading the conversation above, I am on the verge of assuming that I'm the only person who's heard her cover of "Car Wash"...?

HI DERE, Friday, 13 June 2008 23:14 (seventeen years ago)

hahaha i like where this thread went

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 13 June 2008 23:34 (seventeen years ago)

"challop= a CHALLENGING OPINION, an either contrarian or obvious opinion delivered with the intent of shock and awe"

God, how could this person honestly like this music I hate. I KNOW! He's just pretending to have this opinion to get a rise out of me! ROFL, let me go find a funny .gif and trollbomb his thread.

Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 14 June 2008 00:24 (seventeen years ago)

matt the meaning of a challop is a very complicated one that still tears ilx apart at its seams to this day, but believe me no one is accusing you of pretending to like shitty music

J0rdan S., Saturday, 14 June 2008 00:28 (seventeen years ago)

It seems more like an accusation of grandstanding than anything else.

HI DERE, Saturday, 14 June 2008 00:31 (seventeen years ago)

really though, i think you need to stop being so hostile-- i mean i think you are reading ilx wrongly if you think "lol you forgot the all of them option lol" is a serious post. and even if it was a serious post, i don't ever see you trying to engage anyone, it's always as if ppl are out to get you and pop music. like you post here 3 times a month and they're always about how everyone on ilx hates pop music and poptimists, so why even come back here?

J0rdan S., Saturday, 14 June 2008 00:33 (seventeen years ago)

It's a post that screams LOOK AT MY "DIFFERENT" OPINION

Whether this opinion is "different" in the sense of being boringly contrarian or "different" in that the poster is unknowingly repeating conventional wisdom as though it's a world-shattering new perspective, that whole discussion is sorta a sidebar. It's really about the bombast with which the opinion is delivered.

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 14 June 2008 00:36 (seventeen years ago)

well I've been accused of challops in the past, and I never state an opinion to create "shock or awe."

It seems like a way of mocking opinions you disagree with, not mocking people for being arrogant or disingenuous.

Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 14 June 2008 00:51 (seventeen years ago)

the only opinions you seem to post are whiny and complain-y

deej, Saturday, 14 June 2008 00:53 (seventeen years ago)

in a bombastic way?

Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 14 June 2008 01:03 (seventeen years ago)

deej, Saturday, 14 June 2008 01:08 (seventeen years ago)

you're one of those weird creepy meta people aren't you? please don't talk to me

Challops will make us powerful; thinking will only make us fat.

Noodle Vague, Saturday, 14 June 2008 01:12 (seventeen years ago)

matt, you are incredibly wrong, but i actually don't think your shitty opinion about challops is a challop in itself. another example: gabbnebb and i disagree on every topic that exists on earth, but i would never accuse him of inahibting Challopagos, because he doesn't come off as doing it just to get a rise.

roxymuzak, Saturday, 14 June 2008 01:18 (seventeen years ago)

obviously challops exist-- some people spout bullshit in an attempt to look like they have bold ideas.

But a lot of things on ILX are called challops when they're just unpopular opinions. I highly doubt that all of the Ashlee Simpson fans on ILX are posting positive things about her to produce "shock and awe" (we're a pretty insular group anyways), but the Ashlee thread was called challopy anyway.

Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 14 June 2008 01:23 (seventeen years ago)

not all of them, no, but i think a sliver of the teenpop cadre is stuck in the nineties and thinks it's battling indie guilt (which no one is harboring anymore BUT THEM), and their defenses come off as challop-y because they write as if the last decade didn't happen and they're blowing gourds right and left by deigning to listen to pop music

roxymuzak, Saturday, 14 June 2008 01:31 (seventeen years ago)

Noodle Vague, Saturday, 14 June 2008 09:45 (seventeen years ago)

This "challops" meme is even worse than the infernal "butthurt" one.

THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.

edwardo, Saturday, 14 June 2008 10:02 (seventeen years ago)

Those that don't get challops are doomed to repeat them.

Noodle Vague, Saturday, 14 June 2008 10:06 (seventeen years ago)

the level of roxymuzak and noodle vague's not-getting-it would make me all ~facedesk~ if i gave a shit about them getting it, wow.

look stop fronting dudes, the 'challops' 'meme' (can it really be a meme if only 3 people on the internet use it?) and the 'butthurt' thing and all the rest of yr strange obsessive meta cataloguing bullshit, none of them are about the people being bombastic or whatever, they're about you tryna look superior to everyone else without actually calling people out to their face (lol 'to their face'). like, everyone pretty much notices when someone gets a bit pompous. it's ok you know! but yelling CHALLOPS CHALLOPS CHALLOPS like someone's bossy little sister...it's all "look miss i noticed someone posting something not very clever! do i get a gold star?" it's aallll about your own insecurity and is a tad undignified don't you think?

lex pretend, Saturday, 14 June 2008 11:17 (seventeen years ago)

The unexamined post is not worth posting.

Noodle Vague, Saturday, 14 June 2008 11:20 (seventeen years ago)

As opposed to googling someone's ex-girlfriend's livejournal posts in order to post to ILX? That wouldn't be strange, obsessive, catalouing, all about your own insecurity, and a tad undignified, right?

The stickman from the hilarious "xkcd" comics, Saturday, 14 June 2008 11:21 (seventeen years ago)

For serious, lex, it's not like you're unfamiliar with the giddy thrill of calling other people out on what you perceive to be bullshit. Challops is just a comedy shorthand way of saying STOP FRONTIN'

Noodle Vague, Saturday, 14 June 2008 11:24 (seventeen years ago)

"Lady Marmalade", obviously.

Pashmina, Saturday, 14 June 2008 11:30 (seventeen years ago)

Thing is: everybody breaks out the challops sometimes. They're lurking in every sentence you write when you start arguing, it's a rhetorical device we all like to wave about every now and then. Difference is, some people can recognise that having their bullshit flagged is just a game, and some people throw full-on diva hissies if anybody dares to cheek them.

Noodle Vague, Saturday, 14 June 2008 11:31 (seventeen years ago)

I kinda like "Candyman"'s gleeful stupidity, to be honest, although I hate faux swing so I'm torn. "Lady Marmalade" was necessary because of the video.

Noodle Vague, Saturday, 14 June 2008 11:33 (seventeen years ago)

it's 'carwash' from those i can remember, or that one with ricky martin. wouldn't say that any of them are 'essential' exactly.

banriquit, Saturday, 14 June 2008 11:33 (seventeen years ago)

challops crew, never knowingly funny or not tedious.

there are at least 8 essential xtina singles and that's being quite harsh.

"Dirrty" I still like loads when I hear it on the radio, anyway. Excellent single.

haws to lex

roxymuzak, Saturday, 14 June 2008 17:54 (seventeen years ago)

i voted car wash because i hadn't heard it until now (also it sucks). And "Nobody Wants to Be Loneley" also sucks (I hadn't heard it until now), but it seems essential in that it probably played a big role in introducing her to the Latino market.

Tape Store, Saturday, 14 June 2008 18:22 (seventeen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

ILX System, Saturday, 14 June 2008 23:01 (seventeen years ago)

wtf is ilx's definition of "necessary"?

Tape Store, Saturday, 14 June 2008 23:28 (seventeen years ago)

I want to say 'Hurt' because its so fucking useless. Like everyone already knows about her history with her father, she exploited that enough in the first album but the video for Hurt was really decadent and stylised so I'm gonna go for...Nobody Wants To Be Lonely because nobody wants to by Ricky Martin and thats a fact.

VeronaInTheClub, Sunday, 15 June 2008 01:44 (seventeen years ago)

"but i would never accuse him of inahibting Challopagos"

Real time LOLs.

Don't know what my answer would have been for this poll. Xtina's performance on "Lady Marmalade" was compelling scary like staring into the jaws of a gigantic beast, but Lil Kim redeemed the track as a whole somewhat.

Tim F, Sunday, 15 June 2008 01:58 (seventeen years ago)

My friend likened Xtina to a 'diseased lion' in the vid for CREEEOOOOOLE LADY MAAAAAAARMAAALAAADE'

Genie In A Bottle 3

That's cool.. 3 people voted for the only incorrect answer.

it's for the Addams Family movie and sounds like the kind of thing that Winehouse would've done for pin money if she was still around but i honestly like this a lot!
