How about startin the first thread about a rank of songs!
and why top 16? because 16 is my lucky number!
Remember im not a professional editor so dont blame my English (blame the teacher). xD.
So here we go, just sit and relax!
16. Glam - Christina Aguilera
Walk, turn, pose, stop! Give em what you got! – Yeah it’s a Christina empowering song, it’s been months since the album have been released, and I just can’t get enough of this glamorous tune(yeah just like the name *by the way* it kind reminds me of Adam Glambert) and its fashion themed lyrics. There is also a lot of clappy beats through all the song, her vocals are really sweet, at the middle 8 or bridge its her diva screamin moment. The best part of the song is the pumpin after chorus beats - it’s just amazing – “Live it, love it, breathe it, work it, GLAM!”15. E.T. - Katy Perry
At first when i used to know California Gurls and that she was releasing her sophomore album, i didn’t feel nothing special about it. Then… E.T. leaked! (also the second self titled single is amazing) and I started to feel interested about her new album (DrLukes all the way) that is going to be an album full-of-hits.Ok, E.T. has an industrial and darkish sound (with beeps running through the whole song) with aslo a darkish and extraterristrial lyrics; The beat is just as amazing as eating McDonalds after being half day without eating, the pre-chorus is the highlight of the whole song -you can also notice that at the very end of it and nearly the start of the chorus, the beat starts to get crescendo and very bassy and pumping-, the chorus is priceless (the kiss me, ki ki kiss me it’s very catchy)and in the middle 8 there is a sweet Katy singing about risking everything for love. Are you ready for abduction?
14. Pyramid - Charice feat. Iyaz
This girl has a great voice! So bad she didn’t get enough airplay in the USA. Pyramid is an Pop/R&B song with lyrics talking about a love that is stronger than everything like a pyramid. Her vocal perfomance is amazing like always specially after the bridge - Beyonce/Christina-esque moment- and she sounds very sweet. Iyaz perfomance through the song is good, but his rapping at the bridge is pretty cute. The pre-chorus has a natural disaster vs love lyrics that is really awesome.13. Hey, Soul Sister - Train
Not a big fan of Train music but this just caught my attention after the first listen, this also remind me of Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours” musically and that both spent lot of weeks at the billboard chart.This is a good feelin song with a country-esque beat and amazing lyrics(the rhyme at the chorus is quite funny). The signature of the song are the catchy “Heey, Heeys”. You can also listen to Madonna’s reference in the song in the second verse lyrics /Like a virgin you’re Madonna/. The use of an ukulele instead of a guitar makes the song sound more lovely and its gives you a little dancy feeling.
12. Turn It Up - Pixie Lott
The girl with a mature voice and a teen spirit. Turn it up is my favorite song from Pixie’s self titled album, it’s a yearning, R&Bish, Synth-Pop song with lyrics that talks about splittin up and wishing for both the best. I really love the pre-chorus part, it’s very sing-along; the chorus and hook is catchy and cheering, at the middle 8 the beat stops and some clockwise sounds and piano gets on the ride to give it a healin-feelin.Turn it up for the people that say, we’re movin on and will be okay.
11. Two is Better Than One - Boys Like Girls feat. Taylor Swift
The first time I listened to this song I was passing through a series of sad moments. It’s impressively cute, yearnin, beautiful and a relaxin song. The best parts of the song are the verses and the bridge that repeats the first verse “I remember what you wear on the first day, you came into my life and i though hey.” The instrumentalization has a classic soft pop-rock sound (guitars, drums, bass, violin, tambourine).Warning: you might get eye-teared listenin to this.
10. Hope & Glory - Måns Zelmerlöw
I started listening to Måns accidentally when I was searching about music on a blog that I don’t remember the name, then I downloaded his last album that is incredible dancey. This song is eurovisionish – of course, this was going to be Sweden’s entry.-It's a dance-classicalmusic-esque song, his vocals are awesome and he’s a great live performer, there is also clockwise sounds through the song and a classical instrumentalization incorporated in it. (when he says love story in the chorus it reminds me of Taylor’s song).
9.Delusional - Simon Curtis
Simon Curtis first album is incredible accepting the fact that is self-produced without a label or production team behind him. All the tracks on album are worthwhile.Delusional is a very noisy pop song, it has a boybandish feelin to it and a great production: Lots of beeps and background voices. As Britney he doesn’t let the beat blackout him, he let people know that he’s taking the lead. The pre-chorus is my favorite part of the song. There is no middle 8 and I think personally that he should has shortened the song’s length. But whatever give it a try if you like 90s teen pop.
8. If We Ever Meet Again - Timbaland feat. Katy Perry
Is a really nostalgic happy song with R&Bish beats. A “bomb-fallin” sound can be heard at the beginning(with guitar arpeggios) and through the song, I think it really fits the song well. Katy and Timbo vocals are easy-singing that makes it a sing-along style and it has a pop/rock chorus running through a Timbo beat. The song could have been perfect removing the change of beat at the end of the song.Now turn the song on and imagine you’re at a cold city walking through the streets, it really gives me such a relaxing feeling.
7. Stay - Miley Cyrus
Not a big fan of Miley, “Breakout” was average but Can’t Be Tamed overall is a really good album (it’s a grower). Stay is my favorite track from the album, is a piano-driven acoustish ballad, the lyrics are very beautiful, the song itself is musically simple and structured. After the first chorus and the start of the second verse it kicks out with a beat that resamble R&B songs. The piano played through all the song is really awesome specially at the beginning of the last chorus that sounds lovely. Her vocals are amazing. –Since she suits better with ballads and soft rock songs –6.When I Say So - Britney Spears
When a song is leaked who gets more attention than Queen B? No one. This unpublished track its from her “Britney” era. Very 2000 sounding. The beginning kinda reminds me of “Before the Goodbye” another “Britney” track. The pre-chorus beat sounds very Djish and the chorus is rockish with a touch of synthpop. The middle 8 is a rap by Darkchild, after it, Britney starts repeatin “get some when I say so” that sounds very fierce! backed by synths, following up the start of a acoustic-esque soundin chorus.5. One - Sky Ferreira
Sky is the new musical promise for 2011, yea there still a lot of time till we can hear more of her. But at least “One” is released for Europe, to give us a taste of her “experimental and sophisticated electro-pop” courtesy of Bloodshy & Avant.The beat of the song is well produced, there is a lot of repeaty vocals through the whole song(at first I disliked it, but now I see how good it is and its what distinguishes this song). At the bridge she sounds really sweet. It’s totally a grower.
4. Get Outta My Way - Kylie Minogue
Finally Kylie is releasing a album that is worth like “Fever”. The best track on it is going to be released as the second single, if you didn’t know a some other female artists wanted this song to be their first single.I predict this is going to hit all the clubs through Europe because cause of its danceyness and fun-ness. Her vocals on the song is sweet as usual, the verses and the pre-chorus are pretty good and catchy but the chorus and hook are killer!.
3. Beautiful Life - Jose Galisteo
So bad that this song wasn’t selected by Spain for the Eurovision Contest. It’s a really great and catchy song fueled by dancey-synths. Although he’s spanish, he doesn’t sound noobish singing in English and yeah he’s a great vocalist. The backing vocals in it that repeats progressively “beautiful life” gives the song a robotic feeling.So bad the video version is a techno remix (just like Madonna did, pullin Celebration as a dance song and then puttin a techno remix for the video) because I think the song it’s perfect the way it is.
2. Telephone - Lady GaGa feat. Beyoncé
I love Gaga’s tunes, they never dissapoint! I remember when this song leaked on the internet it caught my attention at the first listen specially the chorus with is noisy synths (OMG its so awesome).The structure of the song is interesting. It starts with piano and gaga singing on it, then the beat with double claps kicks in and she starts singin the rapid-fire verse, therefore is the amazingly catchy chorus that includes a eh eh eh hook and a Keri Hillson “The Way You Are” singing part. The second part of the song starts with Bey singing on a R&B beat and then things slow down with Gaga trading verses with Bey before the last chorus starts. The song ends with an epilogue where a voice announces that the telephone line is not reachable.
There is also a classical musicalization on the song that can be heard if you pay attention to it (listen to the instrumental).
1. Naturally - Selena Gomez & The Scene
And finally the top of the rank, its…. Naturally!, this was my Spring jam, it is so addictive and feel-good. The song has an amazing production, its fresh, electronic, poppy, fun, light, and dancey. The verses are catchy, the pre-chorus is catchy, the chorus is catchy, the bridge is catchy and the outro is catchy(with oh ohs from the band’s guitarrist and some ramdom guy repeating naturally). I love how the pre-chorus ends to boom with the amazing chorus.Not a very fan of Antonina Armato but she rocked out this track! that is as amazing as a relaxing rainy day, however we can’t deny that this also has a “See You Again” vibe. (she produced both tracks). But Naturally is fresher, less pretentious and it has everything to become a hit. Also the remixes are so awesome that went No.1 on the dance club charts! Yea! Being a Disney Star.
Popjustice praised the song saying :"It's a cavalcade of cliche but 'Naturally' seems like a boundary-smashing avant garde curiosity when you put it alongside most other Hollywood Records output (ie it's not a dreadful load of old rubbish)."Selena Gomez & The Scene - Naturally by HouLall rights reserved to hollywood records
