The song everyone remembers from Miss Congeniality is Bosson's "One In A Million," and with good reason--it's a fantastic song. That's not the end of the movie's good pop songs, though--it also features an A*Teens song and the song I'm posting today, which, granted, isn't as good as "One In A Million," but is still a cute little pop song. It's performed by American girl group P.Y.T. who released their only album in 2001. They also got a few songs featured on movies out at the time, including Bring It On, Center Stage, and Miss Congeniality.Anywhere U.S.A.--let's be honest: from the first time I heard the last minute of this song, I've never been able to listen to the beginning without wishing the whole song was more like that. The beginning is nice enough bubblegum pop with apparently random use of vocoder, but there's just not enough energy or strength or enthusiasm--yeah, I think that last one's it; not enough enthusiasm--in the girls' voices. However, after we get past their obligatory pop-rap thing, chanted backing vocals come in to provide that needed extra strength and fun, and even the main melody line feels stronger for it.
To buy the Miss Congeniality soundtrack, go here (physical), or you can get the same song on the Bring It On soundtrack, available here (physical).
Next up: maybe that Swedish duet.
