single servings please
top ten songs of the year:
10. Battlefield by Jordan Sparks. sweeping. epic even. wind in the hair dramatic. love it.
9. 3 by one miss britney jean spears. i like this song because whomever wrote it (obviously not her) likes to play the tongue twister game and speak like yoda. the fact that britney can master those word pretzels at least one time to get a good take makes me wonder why i can’t understand a goddamn word shakira ever says.
8. Never Forget You by the Noisettes. it’s like if supermodel naomi campbell could sing and stop throwing phones for a brief five so that she could form a band.
7. A Long Time by Amanda Overmyer. already in the top five of my itunes, i can’t get enough of this idol castoff. i wish her more success than she’s gotten so far. she deserves it.
6. Beat Me Up by Allison Iraheta. unfortunately will probably never be released commercially due to the violent title and chorus (even though it’s a metaphor!). if pat benetar were to die tragically, this is who she would come back as.
5. 21 Guns by Greenday. couldn’t let the women rule this year like every other year. i’m not a big rock fan, but for some reason Greenday has always stuck with me. this song is just as good as anything on American Idiot.
4. That’s Not my Name by the Ting Tings. (in particular the britney, tony basil mash up)
3. When Love Takes Over by David Guetta and Kelly Rowland. THE song of the summer. too bad beyonce made sure that none of the radio stations played it so that it couldn’t actually become the song of the summer.
2. I Dreamed a Dream by Susan Boyle…yes, yes, i know, i know. but i bought her album and every time i hear that song i’m reminded of the time i first saw that clip on you tube and it always brings tears to my eyes. sue me.
1. Bad Romance by Lady Gaga (also throw in, cause she had quite a year, Paparazzi, Dance in the Dark, Teeth, Telephone and Speechless). if madonna, gwen stafani, laura branigan,boy george, meatloaf, and a bedazzled vibrator had a baby it would be lady gaga.
and the worst…
ugh. Boom Boom Pow and I Gotta Feelin’ by the Black Eyed Peas. look, i’ll give them their props for Meet Me Halfway…but these other two songs. jesus. i’m so sick of them, i have no idea how they spent a combined 6 MONTHS at number one on the billboard Hot 100. who is requesting/downloading/buying these songs? they’re not that good! i mean, i much prefer My Humps to either of these two electronic trashbags.
anything by Flo Rida and Lil Wayne. sorry. can’t jump on board either of those trainwrecks.
