Crowd sourced reviews are a collection of thoughts Tuned Up collects when we ask the general public about a new song that’s generating noteriety. We publish our favorites in articles like this. Some weeks there may be a distinguished guest.

This week, “Call Me Maybe” phenom Carly Rae Jepsen seeks to get stuck in the heads of the world over once again. Here are some thoughts on “I Really Like You.”:

“Garbage… This is [the] Call Me Maybe girl right? Yeah call me maybe made $$ so her puppet masters made her stick to the same model of being a dumb Disney princess with dumb Disney princess lyrics with back up track that sounds like it was made from a fisher price keyboard that takes 8 AA batteries. For the first time in my life I wish I could unhear a pop song or any lil Wayne track for that matter… Needless to say, I don’t like it.” – Jon More, roadie and friend of Get in the Ark

“I really really really really really think she says really way too much.” -Nick DeFrancisco

“The musicality itself is annoying, but let’s talk the about the lyrics in the first verse (which is as far as I got). It’s just trashy. Intimacy is reduced to absolute trash by these pop stars. There’s no need to even hide the trashiness of it anymore. Intimacy used to be something beautiful…” – Ilseuk Musuda of Taking the Hourglass (Omaha, NB)

“It’s not really any worse than the Taylor Swift or Katy Perry hits that are out there. I expected to hate it more, but I usually go into pop music expecting to hate it. Lots of kids will love it, then hate it, then come around to loving it again 20 years from now when nostalgia trumps taste. It doesn’t make any sense to heavily criticize songs that are built to be silly and pointless, it’s not like anyone involved was aspiring to greatness. Songs like this are the musical equivalent of a Buzzfeed article.” – Ron Freeman of Lost Orchards

“This has the ambition of a track off of 1989 but falls flat on it’s vapid face. This sounds like Rebecca Black’s follow up to Friday in it’s depth.” – Austin Nill, drummer for Phillip Fox Band

“Has a nice beat but you can’t dance to it!” – Tom Getz, the great uncle of Tuned Up founder Ryan

“Hey I just heard this, it sucks like crazy….I really really really really really really didn’t like this song. I have nothing positive to say about what I just heard. I just didn’t think she could have a song with less content than “Call Me Maybe, but she really scraped the bottom of the barrel here! Enjoy the millions you’re about to make Carly!” – Koli Meadows of Get in the Ark

“You can dance to anything if you try! It’s got enough pop fun for me to enjoy it to my poppy heart’s content. I’m not one to judge anything in radio’s mainstream culture these days and frankly I hated Call Me Maybe at first, too. But that song grew on me and if I am exposed to this enough, I have no doubt that it will be stuck in my head at the most unexpected times. I don’t expect good lyrics out of people like Carly Rae Jepsen and that’s not what I would focus on when considering her songs. I just ask myself “is this fun enough?” if so then sure w/e it’s cool with me. Nonetheless my first impression isn’t necessarily good haha.

But frankly, sometimes try-too-hard stick-in-my-butt deep shit coming out of a lumberjack’s wood cabin isn’t …like…good. sometimes you just wanna listen to mindless crap, and that’s okay.” – Mira Rathman

“It’s not fair for a bunch of 20 and 30 something year old guys to judge this because it’s not really something that will appeal to them. That being said, my daughter is 11 and knows this sucks.” – Derek Christopher of The Ghost Town Railroad.

But would all kids agree with Derek’s? We decided to ask a kid. Here’s what Piper of Kids Interview Bands had to say:

I think “I Really Like You” is a song that some people would like and others would not. The song is catchy because it repeats the same words over and over in the chorus. If I had to compare this song to any song, I would most definitely compare it to Taylor Swift’s song “Welcome To New York” that is on her new album, 1989.

Personally, to get to the point, this song is not one of my favorites but it could easily be someone else’s favorite song and I think it will end up getting thousands of hits. I liked Carly’s song “Call Me Maybe” but then I started to like other bands like Imagine Dragons and Christina Perri, who are still some of my favorite bands. Her songs were a big hit and then it sort of faded away.

That is my review of the song “I Really Like You” by Carly Rae Jepsen.
