Review #1,002: Promo Only: Dance Radio June 2011

Reviewed on 6.13.2011 (Review #1,002)


Lookin’ forward to this Promo Only: Dance Radio June 2011! Got it early enough to where not too many songs are released, I don’t think! Start Time: 8:51 PM | End Time: 10:13 PM


Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> “ iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> “ iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it.
 
© 2011 CD Review (Review #1,002) reviewed on 6.13.2011 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. Selena Gomez & The Scene “Who Says (Bimbo Jones Radio Edit)”
Saw KTU had this, as well as MTV Hits. I dunno if they got tha original or a mix but it sounds too Poppy for them. Lemme check out this mix. >>> It seems awkward for a starting song/mix/HM for what’s gonna be a good CD… I liked tha “na na na” part but I thought tha original version had more “na na na”s… Positive song but only on a decent level… My Rating: 3.6


02. DJ Sammy Feat. Jean-Baptiste & Nyah “Animal”
#2? LOL, I saw 128 BPM and thought of, ‘oh, here we go wit tha 2010s generation and R.I.P. to Trance music.’ >>> Sounds like a great start wit tha music but lol, tha rapper from “Spaceship” and knowin’ it’s DJ Sammy should give me a tougher result of how to take this. Whoever tha Nyah gurl iz sounds pretty catchy wit these tight, female vocals so it kinda works wit tha beat. I guess Ferry Corsten can’t diss DJ Sammy anymore ‘cause this goes away from tha VT shit we’re used to. LOL @ how short this song iz, too… My Rating: 4.2


03. deadmau5 Feat. Greta Svabo Bech “Raise Your Weapon”
LOL, when I saw tha content warning and this title, I instantly was thinkin’ this was gonna be a “Sofi Needs A Ladder” sequel. But, I neva knew this was tha song I kept hearin’ in various MCD mixshows. Tha vocals sound like Alanis Morissette and they seem like they can be addictive wit this deadmau5 music. This can sometimes get boring wit tha lack of changing of tha music, at times, as well as tha vocals; I hope I don’t yawn when I play it… I like how it ended wit “it’s over” and a piano key. My Current Rating: 3.8


04. Jennifer Lopez “I’m Into You (Dave Audé Radio Edit)”
Too bad for tha PO error of Lil’ Wayne bein’ in this; no wonder why Dance music ain’t bigger than it should be! How can you leave tha biggest artist outta a mix? :? Whether it helps or not, this iz a really boring song, original version or remix; where’s tha real-hot “On The Floor” that I loved? LOL, sounds like Lil’ Wayne wrote J-Lo’s lyrics, in an R&B perspective, here, especially when she rhymes tha “Zion” part. My Current Rating: 3.2


05. Wynter Gordon “‘Til Death”
I had a great dream about her last night, mainly ‘cause I was gonna hear this song for tha 1st time!! Lemme hear how my high AL will pay off!! >>> Sounds like a good/decent start but she’s got tha sexiness and 100% Dance beat, still! I really like tha title and how she says that part: “til death, til we party!” :tu My Rating: 4.2


06. Beckwith Feat. Ineabell “Higher (Your Love)”
Not checkin’ tha ID, yet… >>> Sounds like a hot Dance song wit tha typical, Dance music and vocals! Oh, now I remember tha “higher” and “your love” shit; must be Beckwith/Ineabell? *Checks ID* Sounds like an interestin’, more-Dance-soundin’ song than “No Time To Waste” wit tha beat but still iz on that hot level! Not to mention, Ineabell looks hot in her pics so I guess it’s a triple threat, here! ;) Surprised I’m puttin’ this over DJ Sammy & Wynter; feelin’ good wit this one now! My Rating: 4.3


07. Sylvia Tosun “World Keeps Turning (Sted-E & Hybrid Heights Radio Remix)”
MCD got this first and I wondered why they would get a SE&HH mix… PO, yawn. This iz an okay mix but when I think of ST, I think of newer-soundin’ beats and all that; Bellatrax FTW (for tha win)!! Tha sound effect at 1:18 – 1:24 in tha background iz tha SFX I like, especially in tha Bellatrax mix! I would rate Bellatrax’s a 4.4, around, but for this mix… My Current Rating: 3.7


08. Ray J Feat. Aaron Fresh “Turnin’ Me On (Razor N Guido & 4M Radio)”
Iz this tha same Ray J as tha R&B singer? I see he has a dash in his name… >>> Sounds like a good mix goin’ on, here, for a new song. Yea, this iz tha same Ray J although his Dance-soundin’ lyrics kinda throw me off. This has 2:49 to go? I dunno if I can hang in there so I hope it maintains interest… LOL, a Jamaican rap from newcomer (I think newcomer) AF, which he blends in pretty good wit this song… Interest iz mostly here for me although I don’t know how well it will do wit me… My Rating: 3.8


09. Armin Van Buuren Feat. Laura V “Drowning”
Ooh, a goodie! When I first heard it on MCD, I was like, “damn, it ended so fast!” I guess tha short length equals more airplay wit me so it fills my appetite? Such catchy vocals from Laura V—put her wit Emma Hewitt and that Dash Berlin song, plus A&B/RB “Sun & Moon” and you got a triple combo! Tha three of them I got in order so it’s a great mix! Glad PO got another AVB song; keep ‘em comin’!! My Current Rating: 4.4


10. Shontelle “Say Hello To Goodbye (Lenny B Dance Radio)”
Tha fastest song on here and also, tha longest! Finally, we’re gettin’ some long songs again? >>> Whoo @ tha start!! For a HM, this iz pretty hot!! I didn’t see tha original version anywhere so this iz a great start! I hope people can handle this long length; c’mon, you deal wit LMFAO’s song, which iz 15-20 seconds shorter! Even though she sounds dry on this song, it’s tha anthemic LB beat that keeps tha interest and AL high! I thought this was gonna sound like tha LB/136 BPM mixes he did in ’09 but this iz tha real shit dat gives it a Dance feel wit tha beat! My Rating: 4.4


11. Arias & Arno Cost Feat. Michael Feiner “The Days To Come”
Yes, this iz on PO!!! Was tryin’ to find a perfect RE and now, it’s here!! MCD shows buku luv to Arias & AC so you know this iz gettin’ play! Also, even though their previous song from ’07 was on a—I forget what tha label was but it wasn’t that big of a label, bein’ signed wit tha Wynter Gordon/”Hello” label (Big Beat), I see Dance sources seeking interest! Kick-ass beats, great comeback, and tha vocals make it an anthem! I hate when MCD purposely makes an error on their ID. They have tha title as “More Days To Come” and tha album title as “The Days To Come (Single)”; lol, confused me, at first, you damn MCD! :td Glad I got this now ‘cause I was afraid that it was gonna play too much before I can get a chance to play it… My Current Rating: 4.3


½time: Yes, this edition iz kick-ass!! Luvin’ tha newness, decent or great!! A 4.0 for tha CD rating, so far!


12. U.V.U.K. “Forever”
>>> Didn’t look at tha ID, yet, or do a preview but it sounds like what a VT song would sound like wit tha hot vocals and anticipatin’ beat start!!! I have a feelin’ this iz a Robbins song; lemme finally look at tha ID! *Checks ID* Definitely iz one wit tha hotness!! Damn, this iz startin’ to sound like Kim Leoni’s producers; very hot for tha Summer!! These vocals are a huge turn on wit this kick-ass beat, especially during tha 2nd ½ of tha chorus!!! Damn, four huge PO songs back to back? Thanx a whole lot, “Drowning”, for kickin’ it off!! My Rating: 4.8


13. Antoine Clamaran Feat. Annie C “Reach For The Stars”
Fuck, yea, make it five songs!!! How great to put a kick-ass Robbins song back-to-back wit an AC song!!! I’m gettin’ back in tha mood to play songs more, again, and it seems like I’m playin’ tha shit outta this for somethin’ I’ve only had for a week! I’m finally gettin’ to play “Live Your Dreams” a lil’ more, now, thanx to more free time; I won’t give that up, yet. This song iz pure kick-ass wit tha hot music and these typical, AC’s Gospel vocalists! I think this iz older than “LYD”; saw on YT that this was an ’09 song and “LYD” was ’10 but it’s all good ‘cause it’s Domestic, now, thanx to Robbins’s next-door neighbors, Next Plateau!! My Current Rating: 4.7


14. Medina “Addiction”
ROFL, what a way ta calm things down… I guess ‘cause this has been big for a while and PO got it now? :? I can picture all gurls, any age, just gettin’ stopped by that opening line, “should I drink another drink,” ‘cause of how great of an opening line it iz, lol! It’s like, tha world just stopped ‘cause Medina’s ruling it! Even though “You & I” was much better, especially introducing me to Dash Berlin, this iz a good song, especially for it becomin’ huge in tha Dance world! I luv how everyone goes crazy over this song but it seemed like “You & I” wasn’t that big. My Current Rating: 4.2


15. LMFAO Feat. Lauren Bennett & GoonRock “Party Rock Anthem”
PO left tha features out… ROFL, I swear: who would’ve thought a goon (thug, gangsta) would appear on PODR?! I don’t think this should be in tha Dance world nor tha Rap world; just stay in tha Pop world!! MCD’s beastin’ this and smh @ them cuttin’ out tha 1st and last 15 seconds. :td My college station made fun of this song against their Alternative format, lol; guess ‘cause it’s pretty big… ROFL @ this “gettin’ money” content, too; lemme find a Dance artist “gettin’ money,” lol. LB’s hot on her vocal part and looks better in tha music video! They even took “everyday I’m shufflin’” from Rick Ross’s “Hustlin’” (“everyday I’m hustlin’”) from ’06; how random… I thought they’d be a one-hit wonder for “La La La” but they kept it goin’; I feel that Jump Smokers kinda copy their style… But, it looks like this’ll be tha huge Summer anthem of ’11, lol. I may put it in ignore rotation but I highly doubt I’ll even get tha chance to play it that much, especially since I hear it like crazy. My Current Rating: 4.0


16. Natalia Flores “Dumb”
Looks like tha Natalia from tha previous CD; lemme check tha info on this gurl before I listen to this… Oh, Rod Carrillo’s Carrillo Music; how Dance will it be on this Dance label? BTW, lol @ all these original versions in a row! >>> Sounds like it could be tha next hottest Pop song… I’m feelin’ her flow goin’ on, here; tha vocals are pretty catchy, too. LOL, tha music’s soundin’ like some Rod Carrillo-type shit, too. LOL, tha chorus came outta nowhere; can’t fuck wit this gurl’s head, lol! This kinda sounds like a longer song, compared to some of tha shorter ones on here… My Rating: 3.9


17. Mike Lembo Feat. Gia Bella “Life Of The Party (Mike Rizzo Funk Generation Radio Edit)”
Yes, anotha Gia Bella song, already!!! Really lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this collab!! >>> Damn, tha 1st artist iz a vocalist? Thought he’d be a DJ; kinda threw me off at first but once Gia added her two cents, it’s startin’ ta sound like an anthem!! Even though this’ll prolly only get out there in tha Dance world—if it does—this sounds like tha good, borderline sound of GB wit tha content! When she says, “tha DJ, he keeps spinnin’ tha throwbacks,” I think of how hot she iz!! You know it’s all about tha old Dance songs! Gotta luv dat tha MR music iz consistent, too! Startin’ ta like tha male vocalist a lil’ betta, now… “Even tha DJ goin’ crazy, I think I should charge him a fee;” lol, gettin’ on a business side? I like to play peoples’s music for free; I hate how people would want, like, $1,000 to play a song on tha radio? LOL, reach out to more people!! I feel that gettin’ more people to pay you iz better than gettin’ paid a huge amount from, like, one person. My Rating: 4.4


18. Dacav5 “Dirty Style (Kik Klap Radio Edit)”
ROFL @ this song and almost lookin’ like deadmau5’s name! I wonder how you say this artist? Music sounds a lil’ more advanced from tha “What’s My Name” (Rihanna) mix but lol @ this bein’ a Rap song; I wouldn’t’ve guessed! I’m likin’ tha flow and tha voice sounds nice and energetic so I gotta give this props… I like how tha female appears in tha song; gives this song a lil’ bit of extra interest. LOL, that 3rd verse iz consistent wit tha rhymin’, lol; neva givin’ up!! My Rating: 4.2


19. DJ Zilos Feat. Sophia Cruz “Always Changing (Giuseppe D’s Midnight Radio Mix)”
Yes, some Amathus Music-signed music! Their last collaboration was “Under Your Spell” (last song on 8/10’s PO); let’s see how they gon do wit tha big GD on tha mix! >>> Yea, this does sound like “Midnight” wit tha vibe; I’m likin’ tha good vibe between tha vocals and beat, here! Ooh, some added beats in tha chorus makes me wanna like this more wit these lyrics and vocals! Nothin’ but interest continuing on my end!! PO error of DJ Zilos? I thought there was no “s”? Gotta look into that before I finalize this review… I know most of tha previous songs sounded mainstream but it’s goodta have some of this New York-soundin’, underground shit on here, too! My Rating: 4.4


20. Obsessiv Feat. Sophia May “I Will Never Give You Up (Cappo Radio)”
Only 70 BPM? This iz tha 1st of two, back-to-back no less, wit really low BPMs. I thought this song was really old? I wanted to check it out as a late-add song last October but lol, here it iz wit a new mix? >>> Ooh, Dubstep style; no wonder why tha BPM’s low! I don’t think there’s ever been a slower BPM than 70 on PO before, lol? I think this sounds pretty hot; tha beginning gave me a hot vibe wit these near-soundin’ VT vocals from SM! Tha good thing about Dubstep beats iz that they almost sound like a good, watered-down version of what a Trance song would almost sound like as far as tha sounds! My Rating: 4.2


21. Benny Benassi Feat. Gary Go “Cinema (Skrillex Radio Edit)”
Ooh, a lil’ faster… 72 BPM! :rofl Heard this mix on MCE and when I heard tha beat on tha chorus, I almost went nuts!! I thought this was gonna be some Drum & Bass, faster-type mix, 100 BPM higher! LOL, then, when tha Dubstep beats came in, I almost LMAO ‘cause of how much shit’s goin’ on here!! Definitely a thumbs up!! Might call this PODR—oh wait, PODubstepR, lol! Gives me a perfect, new feeling of a new song when I hear this mix vs. tha original version, lol! I feel like rating this higher—I guess it will beat all my hot, 4.4ers. My Current Rating: 4.5


22. Kamouflage Feat. LP “When The Lights Are Down (Bruno Robles Radio Edit)”
Wow, ending wit it an Unsigned song? Lots of AL, here, ‘cause you neva know wit a song that’s not even signed!! >>> LOL, male vocals, here; they almost sound like Chris Willis or Craig Smart, so this could be good, although only 127 BPM… Music’s only decent; would hope there’s more than a David Guetta sound to it. I guess this should get signed soon ‘cause it sounds like somethin’ that could be out there, more. Yea, this sounds a lot like a DG song wit tha 2nd chorus of kick-in beats… Now, tha 2nd verse iz almost soundin’ like Lucas Prata; lol, hence tha LP initials—iz this him, secretly? I dunno if I should believe it ‘cause wouldn’t it be on his Yo Pal! Entertainment label? LOL @ all this confusion but on tha 3rd chorus, tha beat’s soundin’ much hotter!! LOL, tha 4th and final chorus has all tha combinations of each, energetic sound, which makes me like tha song a lot more, now!!! :tu My Rating: 4.3 (lol, I thought I was gonna rate this a 3.7 or somethin’!)


Overall: Wow, real hot PO, this time; I don’t think I was disappointed, that much!!! I dunno what else to say; I guess I can make music more exciting now that I’m gettin’ tha POs again!! A bunch of songs I prolly would’ve neva found if I did tha end-of-tha-month hunt!

Review #1,001: Promo Only: Dance Radio May 2011

Reviewed on 6.12.2011 (Review #1,001)


Finally gettin’ ta review Promo Only: Dance Radio May 2011. I’m lookin’ forward ta June’s, so I’ll prolly breeze through this one. It’s not that fun when you know most of tha songs and all dat; not like I was really anticipated for this one, anyway… I also tried to find tha songs before May ended but only found about 14. :( Start Time: 9:10 PM | End Time: 10:24 PM


Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> “ iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> “ iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it.
 
© 2011 CD Review (Review #1,001) reviewed on 6.12.2011 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. September “Me And My Microphone”
This iz a good comeback! I know this song’ll be pretty big in tha Dance world (I think it already iz) and I won’t mind if it gets played out. I really like tha resurrected, Robbins-Euro feel to this song; she sounds like she can kick typical rappers’s asses wit tha fastness of her rhymin’!! :tu My Current Rating: 4.5


02. Alex Gaudino Feat. Kelly Rowland “What A Feeling”
Speaking of “not that fun…,” this iz an example. I could’ve heard this on PO on a 3rd or 4th listen but now, it’s like my 50 – 100th. :( This iz a decent song that could have better music; tha vocals are here but where’s tha exciting Dance sound? :? My Current Rating: 4.0


03. Avril Lavigne “What The Hell (Bimbo Jones Remix)”
Neva got ta hear tha remix although it would’ve been nice if it came earlier, ‘cause tha original’s been out since tha very beginning of tha year. >>> For a 132 BPM BJ mix, it doesn’t sound like I can hear it that much. This iz an okay remix; not tha best. ‘Cause of this lateness, I doubt this’ll even get a lot of airplay wit me. :( But, at least Avril’s in tha remix-Dance world, again, although no one even got this mix. :( I like her “what?!” parts, lol. My Rating: 3.8


04. JTX “Love In America (Liam Keegan Radio Edit)”
Got this from when I tried to get tha songs from this CD. It randomly played on my iPod while I was driving yesterday and I let it play. However, I wasn’t too impressed wit this Next Plateau song; sounds too much like a Pop song that a mainstream label could’ve signed—not a Dance label! When I drive, I try not to let less-interesting songs play. It’s not tha worst but if no one’s pickin’ this up, I don’t see it gettin’ more than, maybe, five spins wit me, lol? My Current Rating: 3.4


05. Avicii “Derezzed (Remix Vocal Edit Of The Music By Daft Punk From Tron Legacy)”
Too much in a mix name, lol? Even tha Disney movie’s name iz in there, lol. Anyway, this iz startin’ ta get old. Both MCE & my college station got tha original, Daft Punk “Derezzed”, and played it like crazy. Even MTV played it for a while, too. Now, this vocal edit came around and it sounds good; I think those vocals sound 99% like Negin ( :) “Unexpected” gurl from 3/11 PO)! Such a great voice! This’ll prolly be in ignored rotation wit me since it’s kinda old but as far as a rating, pretty good… My Current Rating: 3.9


06. Robyn “Call Your Girlfriend (Sultan & Ned Shepard Remix Radio Edit)”
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROBYN!!! It’s her 32nd birthday today!! She kicks ass no matter what year/decade/day it iz!! At first, I thought this was somewhat-boring of a song/remix (think my college station got tha original version and I didn’t even think of gettin’ it ‘cause of tha title, lol) but since MCD keeps playing it, it’s one of those songs that’s startin’ ta sound addicting! However, in a playlist perspective, it kinda sucks ta just add it now; could’ve had a reputation wit me, previously, although I’ve been too busy, at times, to play music a lot, which I hope I fix soon! :( My Current Rating: 4.1


07. Benny Benassi Feat. Gary Go “Cinema”
*Throws up* ROFL! I LOL/SMH at it everytime it plays on MCD. Lookin’ forward to reviewin’ tha Dubstep version on tha next PO! Prolly tha best, 70 – 80 BPM song/mix PO has had, lol! But, to write somethin’: MTV Hits iz startin’ to play Dance videos, at times; they have a “Dance Mix”, which iz not as great as their Early 2000s Dance mixes but it’s exposure, at least. This video was featured in their “Dance Mix” not too long ago. My Current Rating: 3.1


08. Britney Spears “Till The World Ends (Jump Smokers Radio Remix)”
Speakin’ of “throws up,” add this to tha list; will MCD get rid of tha original version, already?!? Sick of their non-Dance failures! >>> I liked tha “Hold It Against Me” shit/addictive mix JS did better. Damn, this ain’t eva ending! That’s not how a 132 BPM song/mix should be! My Rating: 2.4


09. Gia Bella “Jump (Smash Mode Radio Remix)”
‘Bout time fa some exciting, new music!! Finally got ta hear tha Mike Rizzo mix on MCD and it sounds good; sounds like this iz an anthem! Lemme hear what this mix has ta offer! >>> Yes, somethin’ different for a SM sound; looks like this’ll have 2x tha chance to do good wit me wit this and tha MR mix. I think I like MR’s mix better but I’m glad for a Gia Bella comeback (“Back It Up (Dave Audé) from tha 7/09 CD was her previous song)! :tu Catchy chorus wit tha “jump” effects and lyrics, too! LOL, even tha end sound jumped! My Rating: 4.3


10. Danny Dove & Ben Preston Feat. Susie Ledge “Falling”
I was able to find this but didn’t get to hear it; looks like it’ll be a song people should get? >>> Sounds good; nobody has this, yet, sadly… I feel like I’ll fall for tha hotness, here; nice, soothin’ vocals wit a catchy Dance beat! Follow-up to ‘08’s “Need In Me”? It’s seems like it’s about time! Because of how slow this seemed, at times, I thought this song went by fast, lol; hot beats, once again! My Rating: 4.2


½time: Not really likin’ this PO that much; not too many new or exciting songs… Current CD Rating: 3.8


11. Steve Aoki & Laidback Luke Feat. Lil’ Jon “Turbulence”
ROFL! Surprised I ain’t been gettin’ in tha mood to play this as much as possible. Just a decade ago, some of my favorite, Dirty South Rap music was comin’ from Lil’ Jon; I even included him as an influence for my Rap tastes in my documentary I just did. Unfortunately, after ’05, he switched styles to stupid “snap” music, then Crunk Rock, and now, eva since about two years ago, he’s been on tha Dance scene. I find it really odd that this happened; I lol @ every chance I get! It’s like, here’s a big, tall, black dude wit dreads and a grill in his whole entire mouth, enterin’ tha Dance world, lol! Anyway, as far as tha song, kick-ass beat; guess it’s great when two DJs get together and do tha damn thang!! Much better than dat stupid, played-out “I’m In The House”!! I gon rate this pretty high ‘cause of how great tha song iz; I need to play it more!! LOL, one of my boyz from Louisiana collaborated wit Lil’ Jon two years ago; I feel like joking around wit him and sayin’, “what was it like hooking up wit a Techno dude?” He’ll prolly be like, “???,” but fa real, I don’t think we’ll be hearin’ Lil’ Jon in tha Rap scene, much, since he’s in tha Dance world, now. My Current Rating: 4.7


12. One Eskimo “Amazing (Swiss American Federation Radio Edit)”
Saw this mix on tha Mainstream PO; I know of this bein’ a Pop/Alternative song so let’s see if this mix iz Dance or mainstreamish… >>> Sounds like it could be Dance-y, in a Lite FM vs. HM perspective… LOL, some hot beats comin’ through on tha chorus; pretty nice! This iz kinda quick for a slow song, once again; beat’s are nice, though. My Rating: 4.0


13. Inna “Sun Is Up (Play & Win Radio Edit)”
Fuck this mix!!! Mico Remix for 2011!! Too bad I got this, exclusively, last Summer; I made tha wrong choice. I was dealin’ wit some fake-ass people last Summer and I didn’t even make a dime! Now that this song’s on PO, I’ve made $690.00 from doin’ business wit Louisiana people after I dropped this song/mix last year and am not puttin’ up wit peoples’s BS! Glad MCD got tha Mico mix; gives a nice, different/making-money perspective for me, and iz even gettin’ some play on my iPod/computer! My Current Rating: 2.2 (would’ve prolly been, like, 3.5 – 3.7 if this was FL)


14. Natalia Kills “Mirrors (Adrian Lux Remix)”
Saw tha original version a while ago and thought this was on an interestin’, GaGa style. But, for some reason, tha download failed when I tried to get it. Now, let’s see this remix. >>> Sounds like a completely, new song all over again, lol. Tha chorus iz hot but this sounds mixed differently from what I would’ve liked ta hear for a HM; guess they’re tryin’ to be more Dance? Damn, this was anotha quick song! My Rating: 3.9


15. Kat DeLuna “Dancing Tonight (Ralphi Rosario Radio Edit)”
Didn’t do a preview and look at tha ID, yet. >>> Sounds like a hot, club song for tha long start! *Now looking at ID* LOL! What a tight trick! Too bad no one has this; glad for a quality RR mix, again!! Glad for this resurrectin’, Scotty K-soundin’ style on tha mix! LOL, seemed a lot longer than 3:33 for some reason… My Rating: 4.2


16. Lauren Elle “Accessories (Smash Mode Radio Mix)”
Anotha SM mix, which ironically, this has a Mike Rizzo mix, too; let’s see this mix. >>> I thought this would sound more Dance but it’s more Pop wit tha content. I think MR wins wit this song, too, smh, but tha music on tha chorus iz hot. LOL, gotta like this title but could’ve been a lil’ better for a song… My Rating: 3.8


17. Above & Beyond Feat. Richard Bedford “Sun & Moon”
LOL, when I first heard this song, tha opening line scared me: “It’s raining, it’s pouring;” thought I was hearin’ a nursery rhyme like, “It’s raining, it’s pouring; tha old man iz snoring!” But, it’s a hot, VT song wit continuous, catchy music and great male vocals! Good ta have A&B on tha 2011 scene! What goes good wit this iz Dash Berlin/Emma Hewitt “Disarm Yourself”; now that would get a perfect rating from me if it was on here ‘cause that song’s pure, kick-ass!!! Prolly tha best-produced song for 2011! Surprised MCD even got that song ‘cause they’re not big wit fast songs but they luv EH! My Current Rating: 4.5


18. Sam Freidberg Feat. Asia “Fire (Liam Keegan Radio Edit)”
Let’s see if this iz better for a LK mix. >>> Sounds like a hot start; I feel like I’m anticipatin’ this more than tha Danny Dove song! Yes, this iz definitely hotter!! Tha vocals sound like they’re from tha ‘90s/Early ‘00s and they’re soundin’ like they’re kickin’ ass!! Also, some hot lyrics, too! My Rating: 4.3


19. Jessie & The Toy Boys Feat. Yelawolf “Push It (Ron Reeser & Dan Saenz Radio Edit)”
LMAO, such a kick-ass song!! SMH @ PO for editing out “go to Hell;” there are much-worse things than that! I could not figure out what tha edited word was but smh. Anyway, seems like I got addicted to this song pretty quick; hit #1 on my playlist and everything! Nice, kick-ass music from tha RR&DS as well as a great appearance from white rapper Yelawolf, who I heard for tha 1st time on here, surprisingly! I dunno why MCD doesn’t have Yelawolf in their version; tha gurls rap, too. Oh, this iz super clean; they edited out tha “cake” part (I believe that’s only gettin’ cash or it might mean somethin’ else, lol), “kitty cat” (pussy, lol), “back in tha lac” (smh), and even when he ended tha verse wit tha title, smh? How can you censor tha title? :? Gay clean version; glad I ripped tha regular version from RR or DS’s SoundCloud page! ;) But, Yelawolf did a nice job wit tha kick-ass rappin’! I won’t let tha clean edits screw up how I originally feel about this song, though. My Current Rating: 4.8


20. Wolfgang Gartner Feat. will.i.am “Forever”
Not too crazy about this song, especially since it’s always on MCD. WG’s soundin’ too much like tha MCE version of deadmau5 on tha beat (sounds like same instrument sounds, at times) and w.i.a and tha Black Eyed Peas seem to fuck up tha Rap world (can’t consider them Rap, really?) and tha Dance world, at times. :td Where’s tha “Me & Myself” beat and those ’08 times? LOL, MTV Hits’s “Dance Mix” got WG’s previous song, “Illmerica”, and it was an instrumental song! Seems like these lyrics are dedicated to partyin’ but also, tha late, Hip-Hop DJ AM, who died of a drug overdose in 2009. My Current Rating: 2.8


21. Greg Pary “Why Don’t We Just Fuck?”
LOL, endin’ it wit tha dirtiest title/a Robbins song! Yup; Robbins, Robbins, Robbins, lol! Been waitin’ ta hear this! >>> Sounds like a club start and then, it sounds like a Dance but also, a Pop-soundin’ sound wit these vocals… LOL, a random gurl sounds like a slow, Dance version of Ke$ha. I’m likin’ how she says tha title and now that I’m hearin’ tha chorus music, it sounds like somethin’ Klaas would make wit tha format and everything! LOL, jackin’ their style? Anyway, good song/ending wit an interestin’, not-too-borderline-soundin’ song! My Rating: 4.2


Overall: Turned out to get a lil’ interestin’ toward tha end… But, for tha most part, this fucks up my adding of new songs. Usually, I add not-played songs tha 1st Friday of tha following month. Unfortunately, already two Fridays have past in June, already, smh; guess I’ll have to wait ‘til my 23rd birthday, June 21! I will review June’s tomorrow; that should turn out better!
