Stupid pop for teen girls
Anybody out there remember David Cassidy and Bobby Sherman?
They’ve long since gone grey, but the sort of stuff they used to churn out for teenage girls is still being made in a form that — surprisingly enough, given all the other changes in popular music over the years — isn’t all that much different-sounding from what they produced 30 years ago.
The latest incarnation would be a young man named Teddy Geiger, who’s currently burning up charts and hearts with a CD called “Underage Thinking.”
It’s proof again, if you needed it, that being cute makes up for lots of other things. Geiger has a cleancut look, doey eyes and a pleasantly swoony voice a voice that crosses John Mayer and Maroon 5’s Adam Levine, at a time when neither of them have been heard from very much lately.
But before you decide that’s a good thing (any part of it, I mean), I think it’s best merely for me to check out of further review of an album that is clearly NOT intended for me, and simply let young Mr. Geiger speak for himself. Here, then, are the lyrics to one we chose at random, “For You I Will (Confidence).” Enjoy.
“Alright yeah/I’m wandering the streets in a world underneath it all/Nothing seems to be/Nothing taste as sweet as what I can’t have/Like you and the way that you’re twisting your hair around your finger/Tonight I’m not afraid to tell you/What I feel about you…â€?
I think you can guess the rest. I’d have to give this sucker a C-. Not that my opinion counts for much in this case.
