In this weekly Muss Buss Caan Buss song review feature, three musical minds with different tastes will analyse each song and will grade it on vocal ability, lyrics, musical arrangement and appeal. Songs that make the grade will be dubbed 'Mus Buss', while songs that flop they will be dumped in the 'Caan Buss' bin.
The three reviewers welcome feedback from the artistes and the public about the column. Send your comments to bussdem@hotmail.com or mail in your songs to 'Mus Buss' at the Gleaner Company, 7 North Street, Kingston. This week the muss buss/caan buss team will be reviewing Tifa's 'Can't Stop Me.'
Lady Boo: "I'm not impressed."
Queen: "It sound like nursery rhyme, it lack creativity."
Witch: "Its a little bit too coarse, she a give it to some girls yes but it nuh suit."
Queen: "It sound like sumting mi hear already, like she mix up Lady Saw and Macka Diamond and a try create something of her own, but it just nah mek it. But then again from someone who did 'Tinky Winky' and dat neva grab me at all, this is an improvement."
Lady Boo: "Di song just sound crass a way, tacky."
Queen: "Is not seh she can't do di song and it wouldn't mek it but if she a sing bout sumting someone do already she haffi come wid something strong."
Lady Boo: "She actually sing yuh know, dis whole heap of deejay ting nah work."
Witch: "Her voice just sound grating in this song though. Deejaying don't suit her, she need some work, put some thought into it - this just sound like she a trace rather than deejay."
Queen: "She need guidance, someone to help her along."
Witch: "The nursery rhyme ting in the song annoying rather than catchy."
Lady Boo: "It just annoying. Her voice just sound nah nah nah just all di time and di nursery rhyme ting annoying. The sooner yuh can stop play it di better."
Witch: "What unnu think bout di subject matter?"
Queen: "The subject can gwaan it can be a hit its just something that has been done before so if yuh a go do it yuh haffi do it different."
Witch: "Di riddim a sumting weh mek over but she nah ride it to sound good."
Lady Boo: "Mi get she a try come wid dis old school ting, mi a hot gal and watever but it nuh hot."
Witch: "Yeah so dis is an obvious wheel and try again Tifa, mi nuh see dis a buss at all. She need likkle work cause she have the look and ting. She need to find different subject matters she just stuck pan man so."
Queen: "She needs to get it together I'm not convinced about wha she singing about so definitely re-group, remix, do something really soon cause dis ya ting nah buss."
Lady Boo: "It just nuh cut it, it a come in like mi a use too much energy to talk bout it, I don't see a buss in di near future."
