Videodrone: Some Girl You’ve Never Heard Of Performing A Song You May Not Like

Honest to God, we don’t know what to make of “Come Back To Me,” the TRL favorite from Vanessa Hudgens (apparently, she’s one of those High School Musical moppets, which means she has more money and more street recognition than any other artist we’ve written about in the past two weeks). On one hand, “Come Back” samples Player’s 1978 soft-rock hit “Baby Come Back,” and it’s catchier than anything on Janet’s new record; on the other hand, you can hear the ghosts of 500 better songs by the one-minute mark, and Hudgens “raps” only slightly better than Marci X.

What’s the verdict? Better-than-average tween-pop, or another overproduced Disney Radio-ready sound-alike? Either way, if we’re drunk enough at karaoke and this comes on, we’re stepping up to the mic.
