Review of I wanna be Bobby's Girl


Music is such a wonderful way to peek into someone's life, and this piece does just that. Giving us a tiny window into a complicated stranger's world through a couple of songs that made a difference when they were growing up. It's just a short story, but a lovely listen that left me wanting a bit more. Deedee has a great voice and obviously much more to say, but it is nice knowing her for this 2 minutes. The production is great, fading in the music at just the right time, and fading out just perfectly without overwhelming DeeDee's voice. The vox pop style makes it feel honest and authentic, but not overdone. The interviewer moves aside and lets the subject tell her own story, and though it doesn't feel entirely complete, it's not lacking anything specific. It's an enjoyable two minutes with an interesting person that would sandwich nicely into a human-driven music or LGBT series. Worth a quick listen!
