tunes on tuesday 110309

The one special thing about Tuesdays is that it means TUNES ON TUESDAY! I'm on a roll with these again, thank goodness! Let's get to it!


Rihanna ft. Yung Jeezy--> Hard

She definitely has a very different sound than when she first started, and even though I LOVE the old Rihanna, I do enjoy this song. She's probably going to come back HARD. ;)


Shontelle--> Licky

This is the same girl with the "T-Shirt" song?! Interesting. It totally had me bumpin from the beginning, even if it's a pretty stupid song lyric-wise from what I can tell as of now.


Adam Lambert--> For Your Entertainment



Woah. SO not what I was expecting. It doesn't show off his singing ability AT ALL. I know I've been a Glambert hater, but I totally expected him to come out with some bangers. This isn't terrible, it's just not as good as I expected. Uh oh.


Fabolous ft. Keri Hilson--> Everything, Everyday, Everywhere



Ummm.... Hm. I don't hate this song. I just don't love it. It's kinda boring, I feel.


Now for the Country song links:

Jimmy Wayne--> Sara Smile
This is a remake of the oldies classic, and it sounds pretty close to identical I feel. Meh, I guess that means it's good!

Phillip Thomas--> Livin' Life At The Bottom
I like the meaning and lyrics of this song, I just don't know how I feel about his voice. He's awfully nasally.. Hopefully I can warm up to it.

Chris Young--> Joy Ride
This is fun and I enjoy it. The end.

James House--> I Love You Man
It's pretty country, but it's funny. It's not at all what you expect from the title, which makes the chorus even funnier the first time you hear it.

Jerrod Neimann--> One More Drinking Song
Note to all people who say Country music is all about being depressed: False. I think there's more drinking songs than anything, and here's one more. He totally invented a new drink name and I love it.

Singletree--> Ms. What's Her Name
Yep. This is a good one. Love the lyrics, sound, beat, everything.


Also! Don't forget Carrie Underwood's new album "Play On" is out today! I'm pumped!!

And my friends Lovesick Radio finally released their debut full-length album "Heartbreak 4 Dummies" that is totally worth your time and money. They rock. They've also got this new music revolution thing they're doing where you can own a piece of them... literally! So, yeah.. Check it out. For me and for them. :)

Have fun listening! Make sure to do a dance or to naked in front of your mirror!

love,

tunes on tuesday 052609

Woohoo! It's my favorite day! And I'm getting the post done early!!!
[I almost didn't at all, though! I kept thinking it was Monday. Darn those 3 day weekends.]


Jay Sean ft. Lil Wayne--> Down



So he's some British pop star and has had multiple hits or something... Is it bad that I kinda like this song? It's definitely cheesy, but who cares?! And apparently Wayne is all about helpin' people lately.


Flo Rida--> Sugar



In case ya'll forgot, I totally debuted this song months ago, and I have absolutely loved it from the second I heard it. Question, though... Why does this video look like something a small-town amateur would do?


Black Eyed Peas--> Alive



Hmmm... Maybe it's good that they came out with "Boom Boom Pow" first so that they got a bunch of people wanting to hear more, but I have yet to be uber impressed since that song. I don't know.. This one is OK I guess...


Esmee Denters--> Outta Here



So this girl was discovered after covering Justin Timberlake's "What Goes Around" and now he's producing this song. You'd never be able to tell by this video, but she's veryyyy Spanish. Or Hispanic, or Latina or whatever it is. I like the song though... I can hang with it.


Black Eyed Peas--> I Got a Feelin'



Okay, I take back what I said before, I think. This is actually the new official single being released to all the stations, and I'm glad. I still don't like as much as BBP, but I like it... It's funny, and has a decent beat. Phew.


Beyonce--> Sweet Dreams



Woah. Could this be.... A different sound from B? No... It's almost like... I've never heard something like this from her! It has a different beat! I'm not CRAZY about it, but I like it.. And it gets 10 points for being different than the usual. BUT! Will she wear a leotard and have 2 dancers???


Lovesick Radio--> Loser of the Year



Consider me a big fan of them now, after hanging with them for a day. [Elaborate post coming ASAP.] So I'm pretty sure this is going to be their next single and I think you need to listen. Also, listen to more of them... Especially when they do covers at live performances. They're fab.


Shea Fisher--> Don't Chase Me



She reminds me of a brunette Julianne Hough or something. She also has the potential to pull a Carrie or Taylor and do pop and country. The weird cheer in the beginning and middle needs to go, though.


Jason Aldean--> Big Green Tractor



I fully enjoy Jason Aldean, and this song is alright, but it's not fabulous. Probably something I'll play on the random, but not something I'll be excited to hear.


And as for a hopefuly "big comeback," AQUA has come out with a new single! [Yes, the group that did "Barbie Girl"]

"Back to the 80's"



I mean... Cool idea, I guess. Lyrics that you hear a lot in the country world but uh... These people were never talented, they just had a good voice for a funny song about Barbie. Why do they think it's a good idea to try and come back into the music world? Bad, bad idea.


That is all for today, folks! Enjoy, and break out the iTunes!!

Also, for Idol lovers, Brandon Rogers and Ruben Studdard have had albums released lately... I should have some of those songs on here next week. I need to listen first!

love,
