Best Girly Jam?
July 22nd, 2008 by MothWhen I’m laying out the magazine, I love to blast embarrassingly girly jams late at night. Some of the ones in heavy rotation are Paula Abdul’s “Rush Rush” and Lisa Loeb’s “Stay.” Some other good standbys are Des’ree’s “Kissing You” from the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack and anything by Sade. This issue I’ve added some more modern hits to my play list. Which is your favorite? Is there any that I’ve missed?
all the youtube videos after the jump…
No Air
Unwritten (ie. the Christian one)
New Soul (ie. the Jewish one)
Love Song





















this is sort of sad/embarrassing, but i usually rock “kiss me” by sixpence none the richer pretty hard. i do love “unwritten”, until they used it for the hills theme song.
Colbie’s boyfriend gives me tingles in MY silly place.
Omg, Erika… “Kiss Me” is the definitive girly jam. I can’t believe I didn’t list it. I’m so embarrassed. “Lovefool” is also good.
I still think you should of put no one alicia keyes
Last night my friend and I jammed in her car to TLC’s “Unpretty”. That’s a pretty awesome girly jam if I do say so myself.
Not timeless enough yet put the new natasha beddingfield pocket full of sunshine is my new jam
um Torn by Natalie Imbruglia and Show me Love by Robyn!
also, if you haven’t listened to that Stefanie Heinzmann song “My Man is a Mean Man” it is definitely a good girl jam.
i’d also like to add “shut the fuck up” by the coathangers, “stop pretending” by the pandoras, and “a thousand miles” by vanessa carlton, because i love girl bands and i love vanessa’s album.
Unpretty is a good one. yay new phone browser that let’s me post blog comments. Ok I’m going to bed
Torn is a great one too!!!
Ok I don’t know if this is grounds for getting lipped off, but my girly jam is Mariah’s Fantasy Remix fat. ODB. I get into full girly mode with that ish.
anything pat benatar like hit me w/ your best shot and definately invincible from that legend of billie jean movie for sure!!!!
other! wreckless love by alicia keys is a great song
hmm, old schooler like me might add some stevie nicks to that list. ..i like the pat benetar suggestion.. plus maybe some joan jett?
and I’m a Lady by Santogold. my new fave.
anything by alicia keys does it for me, plus vintage nelly furtado before she turned all whore-ish. regina speltor - fidelity, it’s one of the ones where you can’t help pretending to star in the music video.
*spektor. i’m a twat.
Unbreak my heart- Toni Braxton, they I replay the video in my head w/ myself in her place mourning the loss of Tyson Beckford ;-P
ha, i love all these songs… i’m a sap.
i like mary j blige - roses
ummm anything by Sade, obvs
particularly “your love is king”
