You haven’t heard Lizzo’s “Juice” until you’ve heard a sad 6’8"-tall clown sing it.
Actually I haven’t heard Lizzo’s “Juice” at all. In fact, I’ve never heard of Lizzo.
So I had to go find that first before listening to Puddles’ version.
Puddles says
“I don’t understand some of the references in it”
Me neither. And TBH this is a very ‘meh’ song not worth Puddles’ attention, IMO.
But @anon61833566 - Yes, he is still a genuine treasure.
In fact, I’ve never heard of Lizzo
Go do your homework. We’ll wait.
The Goose gets into everything. Is there no stopping it?
Did you read that bit where I said:
“I had to go find that first BEFORE listening to Puddles’ version.”
Obviously not.
Liked the Juice cover, but at the end of the vid there was this link… nice!
Despite it being a big hit, it’s far from my favorite Lizzo song. When she showcases her operatic range and flute skills she really shines.
Also:
This was a fun rendition of “Juice”, but I’m kinda glad Puddles doesn’t still fondle his big fuzzy clown-suit ‘buttons’ like he used to.
It did quite well in the United States. I’m not sure why you feel that its mediocre chart performance in the UK makes it less of a ‘hit’ elsewhere. Or why you’ve decided to saunter into this thread to shit on Lizzo.
She is, indeed, a hit singer, with a #1 hit, multiple top-10 hits, and huge popularity here in the States.
She does, indeed, display an operatic range. Not in that specific video.
I disagree, but thank you!
