koganbotOver on Tumblr I called for an Antonina Armato & Tim James top ten, since that pair have been consistently among the best writers and producers in teenpop for years, probably the only really reliable ones in the Disney stable. They certainly deserve critical recognition and analysis.
This is in response to Maura's referencing them in regard to Disney's recent Shake It Up: Live 2 Dance compilation LP and her pointing out that back in the day Armato had co-written Brenda K. Starr's "I Still Believe" and the Glenn Madeiros/Bobby Brown "She Ain't Worth It."
Haven't relistened to the Armato-James catalog, but these five would likely make it into an ARMATO & JAMES TOP TEN, at least into mine:
Miley Cyrus "See You Again"
Selena Gomez & The Scene "Naturally"
Hoku "How Do I Feel (The Burrito Song)"
Aly & AJ "Not This Year"
Aly & AJ "Potential Breakup Song"
If you have choices of your own, or want to endorse these, you can do so on Tumblr, where they could actually get noticed, or here on my lj, if you'd like.
(To avoid confusion, in case someone actually participates in this: Armato & James didn't write Bella Thorne's "TTYLXOX," the track from Shake It Up: Live 2 Dance that Maura embedded.)
