La Roux's single, Bulletproof, is a catchy and subsequently popular song.  However, does the song's quality measure up to its popularity?

Bulletproof is about a woman that has been in a relationship tht left her saddened and broken.  In the chorus, she vows again and again , that next time she will be strong, and that nothing like this will shake her again.  When he tries to renew their relationship, she refuses, knowing it would only have bad results.

Although Bulletproof is catchy, it has several problems.  One is the grading vocal techniques, and another is the overly-repeated chorus.  In fact, much of the song is spent saying, "this time, baby, I'll be bulletproof."  This issue definitely takes its toll on the song.  After the first thirty or forty second it becomes almost unbearable to continue listening.  Another problem is the poor recording work.  The song is recorded in a very badly executed, raw style.  At times Bulletproof sound like the work of an eight year old left alone in a recording studio.  In short, this is a song badly executed and under produced.  Clearly the result of a catchy chorus, Bulletproof's fame will be heretofore short-lived.
