Maybe you missed the point? I can see how it could become a little redundant, but I enjoyed it and actually thought it was funny. Guess I'm kind of insane. Loved this movie.

I watched it when it came out last year in the U.K and thought it was genuinely funny throughout, a real dark and twisted comedy set in the banal world of dull English tourists haunts.

Basically if you like the general concept of an Iron Man film and you liked Kiss Kiss, you will enjoy this film very much.

Because he's been great for the last couple of years, and I'm real glad to see it. Maybe he changed the brand he smokes, I dunno. I do know that, after seeing 'Killer Joe', my first thought was that somebody, somewhere, needed to write a sequel where Woody Harrelson plays his longtime nemesis 'who just go back into town'.

If she wants to sing a swaying jazz ditty, there are plenty of numbers to choose from that are already in that category, that provide the necessary structure to support a voice like hers. She does the same thing in Top 4 week, dressing up a wisp of a Drake song, trying to turn it into something it was never intended to be. All you're left with is the decorations, impressive, but by no means a song in themselves. I'm a big Candice fan. She's a big singer with a big voice. She needs big songs.

As Keith noted, Candice’s expertly placed runs were like slow winks from across the bar, and her “buh-buh bye-byes” were so saucy and expressive, I let out an involuntary whoop of delight in response. I literally threw my hands up in admiration when she sang this. Her vocals may have been showcased more on When You Believe, but we already know she can sing. Now it's about being creative, which is exactly what Straight Up was.

Stick them in the sorriest turkey of a movie, they'll still be worth watching. Nothing you say is wrong. On the other hand, neither do you contradict my point: compare her two performances of the evening and you decide which one she'd choose to represent her talents.

Listen to it again. She changed that song into something soulful. Yes, it's a throwaway song when Paula does it, but please, listen to Paula's version then listen to what Candice does with it. It's actually kind of brilliant. The frills and riffs and things she does with her voice. When she takes things up and down when Paula leaves them flat. For me, this shows how creative Candice is. I could totally see her singing a song like this. I usually agree with your recaps, but your assessment of Candice’s Straight Up is so inaccurate. Listen to it again.
