This is a new review by Josephine, She wrote the Miranda Lambert album for me and since I had a few requests for her to write again here she is..
So, I was asked to listen to Star De Azlan’s “A Man Who Can Dance”:
My first and immediate thought on the listening to the first 15 seconds was that I felt like I was in the lobby of Sears. It really sounds like an elevator jingle. This goes away slightly when she starts singing, at which point it becomes a relatively okay song. It’s put together well, her voice -which is nice, but by no means spectacular- isn’t overpowered by production or those evil of all evil things, back-up singers. It’s got a decent story, with a beginning middle and end, some nice exotic words thrown in and… that’s it. A rather boring song to listen to, actually. What’s ten times more fun is watching the Youtube version with the collection of pictures of De Azlan. I’m a straight woman and I have to say I would much prefer to see the girl in a Maxim or even Playboy magazine spread than listen to her sing. It’s a shame that she doesn’t have the same spice in her singing that she has in her pictures. The Grito Mexicano (Mariachi yell) in the middle of the song just doesn’t cut it.

ABSOLUTE worst REVIEW on a song that I have ever heard. I feel like I have no idea who would have asked her to comment on anything. I barely heard the song today, and this was one of the first, and last reviews I will read from this blog. This single is so well put together, the opening instumentals are anything but elevater music, her voice is amazing,(Go check out her previous single She’s Pretty), the lyrics are really good because they tell a interesting story, and its just spicy enough to get my attention without being too over the top! As for her Grito, where are you from? Did you do your homework and see that star started out as an awarded mariachi singer? Boring song to listen too is another funny comment… you cant help but want to dance when listening to it! As for her looks, thats the only thing I agree with! I can understand having an opinion on songs but wow! I am going to go back and see what she put on Miranda’s stuff. I rate this song as an A. Thats just being REAL.
