id take any of GA's singles over crazy in (over melismatic melodically deficient and warbling) love or aint no other man. love machine is far better than any of those two's singles.
Then you are just plain NUTS!

You're talking about two completely different things tho- one is white production pop... the other is pop R'n'B.
I know what you mean...but even British pop RnB like Jamelia doesn't sound quite up to the US standard.
Half the time GA sound like a pissed hen party singing on the night bus home, Bananarama style, y'know...
But with tracks like "Cry me a River" and "My Love" Timbaland takes the tempo and chordal aspects of a ballad (both songs mid tempo to slow, riding on clear chord progressions as the dominant musical attribute) with many aspects of the club banger (the textured and detailed beats, synthetic and highly original arrangements etc)... the reason why most pop ballads are rubbish is cos they chuck out all the attributes which made the poppier, uptempo stuff good... an error which Timba with these sort of tracks avoids...
I agree with Henry S, and I also agree with Gumdrops about ‘Love Machine’’s being far better than B****cé’s ‘Crazy in Love’.
have you never sat through a full DC or beyonce or aaliyah or ANY R&B album and the ballads they all have on there?! or listened to the slow jam shows on choice fm or something like that? lol
Next thing we know, GA come on to perform their single, which was at no. 1, and were just awful. One of them started waving her hands in the air like she was doing karaoke down the fucking pub. I'd love to have been backstage to see Destiny's Child's reaction.
