Timberlee - Contributed

In this weekly Mus' 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, 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 mus' buss/caan buss team will be reviewing Timberlee and Tosh's Heels.

X Factor: "A wha kinda riddim dis? It sound Yankee."

Witch: "Is di new Benny Hill riddim from Left Side."

Lady Boo: "It sound like one intro or sumting for a movie, it really sound copied from something else."

Witch: "I guess she's pretending to be di A-typical blonde valley girl."

Lady Boo: "It sound like an advertisement too, especially when she mentioning di cost."

X Factor: "Dis is rubbish, there's no singing here, mostly one bag of talking."

Witch: "I actually don't mind di riddim though, it's cartoony and kinda fun."

Lady Boo: "In terms ah di riddim, it nuh as confusing as other Left Side riddims but it still sound copied. Mi like originality an' dis nuh really sound original. Dem jus' like, reach di point where dem feel sey dem mus' jus' put out a single, but dem fi mek sure di single mek sense an' jus' stop force foolishness pon people."

X Factor: "I agree. This is not something that I'd listen to. I think what Left Side dem a try do is produce stuff that sounds very different, but guess what, when you ah do something different, you run the risk of it sounding stupid."

Lady Boo: "So wha yuh sey, it stupidly different?"

Witch: "A can sey sum'n now?"

X Factor: "Might as well, caw me nuh have nutt'n more fi sey 'bout dis yah song yah!"

Witch: "Well, I hate to break di hate fest but maybe I'm in a silly mood, mi nuh mind it per se. It's not a hit, but it nuh annoying like odda songs, mi just wonda wha kinda airplay it gonna get. Timberlee 'ave talent so mi woulda want to see her do some serious music radda dan dis new silly genre people a try."

X Factor: "Mek smaddy write a proppa song fi har or sumting."

Lady Boo: "Mi a try see if there's sumting mi like 'bout di song, but it just nah happen, it just bland. Nuting nah gwaan fi it."

X Factor: "Dese things, dese hippy hill billy sounding kinda music, nah sell in Jamaica, dem nah go hit."

Witch: "Wha yuh seh, it not hard-core enough?"

X Factor: "Nope. Daa heel yah pop off, it miss di buss."

Witch: "I don't see it hitting, but I don't think awful, just not buss-worthy."

Lady Boo: "Mi caan see miself listening to this on a daily basis or once per week for that matter so, mi caan really buss it. I guess the heel really pop then."
