This song is about a BBB (Big Beautiful Blond) who’s involved with many men, all of whom are young and handsome with gorgeous bodies and who are blatant sex objects. The song is catchy, bouncy and high energy, very sexy, and the video is an over the top romp, part fun, part raunch.
Dave hears Janis Joplin’s “rough n’ nasty and rebellious vocal style” in Elle’s “X’s & O’s” and points out the bluesy rock feel of Janis’s “Move Over” from her legendary album “Pearl.”
“It’s impressive when the very first single from a new artist‘s debut album becomes a big hit, which is the case with “X’s & O’s.” Elle’s an artist with attitude who is unafraid to express herself in a variety of genres.”
(From a Woman’s Point of View)
You Go, Girl! Elle owns her sexuality, and comes across as a powerful woman who just wants to play compared to Janis’s angst and frustration. Times have changed.
Of interest:
Elle’s dad is comedian and actor Rob Schneider.
