What
it do it’s yo boy Frankie back wit another review (it’s about damn time)!! This
iz my 79th review I’ve eva done (I checked yesterday by postin’ all
my review links on my music MySpace page). I’m about to review tha Promo Only Dance Radio May 2008 CD, but
before I do, I just gotta say that there’s prolly around ½ tha CD I already
know. I have some anticipation, but can’t be too excited for now. Also a year
ago today, I did tha Promo Only Dance
Radio May 2007 CD review, so this iz fallin’ on tha same day again! Start Time: 6:55 PM | Video Game Playing: Donkey Kong Country
2 (Diddy’s Kong Quest) (for Super Nintendo) (on my computer)
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.

© 2008 CD Review (Review #79) reviewed on 4.27.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. Madonna Feat. Justin Timberlake & Timbaland “4 Minutes (Bob Sinclar Space Funk Edit)”
1st
song/remix I know. Tha longest PO song I’m eva
reviewing (previous record was “The Wings” at like 4:53)!! This iz “4 minutes”,
58 seconds! Lol @ tha longness. I think it’s more “boring” long. MCD added 3
mixes so far: this, Junkie XL (which has less vocals, but iz tha best), and
Tracy Young (which iz pure bleh). I think this iz too soulfully, but we’ll see…
>>> Okay good it’s not soulfully in tha beginning (tha soul sounding
one iz tha Tracy Young one). Sounds like Miguel Migs’s type of music during tha
:40-1:05 parts. Love all those “tick tock, tick tock”s. :tu Damn there must be
a real good mix out there (there’ll prolly be like 30+ remixes like wit “Gimme
More”) ‘cause this mix iz too plain/late nightish/Miguel Migs ish. If I want
somethin’ real long, its gotta be trancey, or like “Goodnight Tonight”. I like
tha music parts when Timbaland hits tha mic. :tu Easily tha original over this,
but we’ll see how this does wit me. My
Rating: 3.8
02.
Kim Sozzi “Like A Star (Peter Luts Radio Edit)”
2nd
song I know. Glad they put this on here other than tha Mynt remix that MCD
plays. This iz better, and let’s see if I can feel it more. Might start to like
tha chorus more too… >>> Oh yeah real nice intro! :tu Yeah I really
love that beginning of tha chorus!! Oh I can’t wait to give it airplay!!
Speaking of Kim Sozzi, only 2 more dayz ‘til I go to Long
Island, New York (for only one day
‘cause tha day after ‘til May 11th, I go to Florida)!! :tu Oh yeah forgot to mention MCD
also added this mix as well. :tu Definitely good to have it as Song No. 2 on
here! My Rating: 4.3
03.
Sirens “Club La La (Jody Den Broeder Radio Mix)”
A
Nervous Records song at No. 3 on PO. First
song I don’t know, but I saw a pic of them on tha MixaHolic blog, and it’s
girls, so definitely a High AL!! >>> It has a mix between an
Electronic and Dance intro. Pretty good start so far. More for tha clubs than a
bigger personal opinion for me. I like tha “lookin’ so fly” part right before
tha chorus. Will prolly get used to this better in tha future. My Rating: 3.9
EDIT: PO
just lists it as a “Radio Edit”, but it’s really Jody Den Broeder on tha radio
mix!
04.
George Lamond “Don’t Stop Believin’ (Radio Edit)”
Gonna
see if this iz hot enough to become a real big comeback! >>> Hey I
like tha intro. Gonna remind me of a remake. Real good music. Sounds like it’ll
be a comeback and major add on a lot of outlets. It sounds so much like your
average Adult Top 40 Alternative music… only wit a HOT dance beat. Now if only
those Adult Top 40 stations could play some shit like this. It’s so ‘80s right
here!! My Rating: 4.2
05.
Out Of Office Feat. Marcella Woods “Break Of Dawn 2008 (Suitcase At The Door) (Radio
Edit)”
3rd
song I know. I actually found this posted on MixaHolic’s blog 2 and a ½ months
ago, and because I got to talk to this rapper Dee-1 by calling him (that my boy
Jimmy The DJ manages), I got real excited, and I wanted to try and find a new
exclusive Dance song that no one had, so I tried this song, and what do ya
know… I dumped it. :td Tha length looks familiar, so we’ll see if this tha same
one I d/l’ed (which was just labeled as “Radio Edit”). And I think it’s a PO error ‘cause they forgot to put Marcella Woods on tha
Feat. again. Oh yeah forgot to mention that (lol) this statistically became my
Highest AL, lol. >>> Sounds like a ‘90s dance beat in tha beginning.
Lol @ tha “Suitcase at tha door” parts. Sounds better from when I first heard
it. There had to have been somethin’ wrong wit tha Radio Edit I had. This iz
much better. *Goes and checks tha version I had previously…* Yup I had tha same
version as this PO version. Maybe tha House
style threw me off ‘cause it wasn’t like “Hands Up”, but yeah, I like it now
(don’t worry)! :tu My Rating: 3.8
06.
Jonas Brothers “When You Look Me In The Eyes (Jason Nevins Radio Edit)”
4th
song I know. If you check on tha PO site,
it’ll say “70 BPM”. It’s really not. PO forgot to make a new link for tha remix
(which iz really 132 BPM; sometimes that new PO
site doesn’t do tha full update; if you see “The Longest Road”, it doesn’t show
tha mix when you click its info). But anyway, another song that I DUMPED on my
Pump It Or Dump It, lol (2 in a row; what odds are that)!! But I can trust OOO
& MW for me to like unlike this Pop/Rock shit. So much fuckin’ Low AL on
re-hearing!! :td :td :td >>> Was gonna feel tha 1st verse
slightly more, but then that chorus came on. Ewe… Reminds me a lil’ of tha
Backstreet Boys remix on tha November 2007 CD. My Rating: 2.7
07.
Kaskade Feat. Becky Williams “4:00 AM (Adam K & Soha Radio Edit)”
What
does Kaskade have in stock now? Curious… >>> Hey those BPMs sounds SO
much like “Deep At Night” :rofl :rofl Didn’t expect tha girl. Does Adam K &
Soha have to do wit Kaskade or was PO lazy to
put them in tha RE? Yup tha music iz 100% on some “Deep At Night” shit. Tha
vocals are nice and smooth (maybe too smooth for this song), but nice OM Lounge
type of music. My Rating: 3.6
08.
Crazy Loop “Crazy Loop (Mm Ma Ma) (Radio
Edit)”
I
think this iz tha fastest one on here at 133 BPM. Definitely a real High AL on
this one since tha artist/title/label are all pretty much tha same!
>>> *Jaws drop* Bangin’!! Really lovin’ tha music. Tha vocals make it
good too. Wow this iz bangin’ I can’t say it more… Yeah. :tu I easily knew this
was real good by tha label being unknown to me and it bein’ an original
production. My Rating: 4.7
09.
Morgan Page Feat. Lissie “The Longest Road (deadmau5 Remix Radio Edit)”
5th
song I know. This iz… tha BIGGEST MCE song of tha year IMO. HUGE airplay on
there, and they play tha full Club Mix (MCD are you scared now, lol)!! A nice
slow jammer. Anyway, givin’ my review right now! >>> Of course it has
a better quality than tha RE I got from LW. This might be pretty popular on
other dance outlets. iPR showin’ it some luv. Everytime I play it, I picture a
long road (I was playin’ it on my hike on Wednesday, tha 23rd, and I
was on a small trail). I like tha part in tha chorus where she’s like somethin’
wit “in a bar and you’re just left there.” And MCE loves it ‘cause they love Morgan
Page. My Rating: 4.0
10.
Christian George “Strangers (Wideboys Radio Edit)”
This
an unknown label for me… Wideboys mixin’ this… What could come outta this…
Prolly somethin’ good hopefully. >>> Whoa what’s wit tha zero second
intro? A lil’ scary for me. Music sounds more like Linus Loves. Lol @ tha short
length. I thought it was skippin’ for a sec, but that’s tha Wideboys doin’
that. Lol. I know Wideboys mix a lot of hit mixers. What iz this then? I have
no clue. Kinda not feelin’ it too much on a first listen. What’s wit that
repetitive chorus? My Rating: 3.0
½time: I would say good start.
Two bad songs. Lol @ that. Usually it’s only one real bad one on tha CD for me.
11.
Seal “The Right Life (Eddie Amador’s USA Club Radio Edit)”
6th
song I know. This iz tha MCD mix. I actually like it better than “Amazing” a
lil’ (mainly tha music). iPR plays tha Single Edit, and that’s actually got a
Dance beat. I like those “pretty-uh”s. I like how Eddie Amador switched up his
style for a hit mixer (his usual style iz wit his partner Rod Carrillo, where
it’s that odd/plain sounding for tha Carrillo Music label). My Rating: 4.1
12.
Cato K Feat. Kelly D “Feel Better (Radio Edit)”
I
think this an Ultra Records song… >>> Like that slammin’ intro. :tu I
thought this was gonna be “better”, but I don’t see much catch in this. Gonna
see what happens in tha future wit this one. My Rating: 3.3
13.
Robbie Rivera Feat. Denise Rivera “Back To Zero (Miami Vocal Radio Mix)”
Let’s
see what’s gonna happen wit RR this time… >>> Smooth start, smooth
vocals, tha usual RR music. Lol @ this CD; 2 songs wit 2:48 length, and then 2
songs wit 4:28 length. Sounds good. Hope MC (which ever channel) gets it. They
ignored tha last song, so they better get this if they wanna represent correctly.
I think it’s more on tha MCD feel. My
Rating: 3.6
14.
Supafly Inc. “Be Together (Radio Edit)”
Their
3rd song. Each song was on a different label: “Let’s Get Down” was
Ultra, “Moving Too Fast” was Nervous, and this iz Thrive/ThriveDance. This iz
my Highest AL right here!! Its got not 128 BPMs, but 132 (that’s a lot better
than tha average)! Very High AL!!!
>>> A pretty good start. Should be a Summer anthem. I really like tha
music and tha whole vibe. Tha vocals are still good (like their other songs). My Rating: 4.6
15.
Rod Carrillo & Eddie Amador Feat. Ronnie Sumrall “Save Me (Radio Edit)”
I
hope they continued their good music!! >>> Bring out tha unexpected…
What to expect… Music iz pretty decent. Tha vocals are kinda dry, but they
still work out for me. Lmao @ that 2nd chorus wit those EMOTIONAL
VOCALS! OOH!!! LOL!! I like tha “Nonsense Words” song better. My Rating: 3.7
16.
Sia “The Girl You Lost To Cocaine (StoneBridge Radio Edit)”
7th
song I know. MCD has this in heavy rotation (!!!), and this sounds exactly tha
same wit tha music a lil’ like tha Sander Van Doorn mix (which I have). I
prefer my 5:18 Sander Van Doorn mix (even tho it’s hella long). Lol! I love tha
“I met tha girl that you—I met tha girl that you—I met tha girl that you—I met tha
girl that you…” parts!!! It plays for 58 seconds straight, lol (on tha version
I have). When I first heard that, I thought this song was gonna be more
emotional, but that just caught me off guard!! I leave that part on my
grandma’s answer machine sometimes, and she thinks I’m nuts. She gets a kick
outta it, and when I would play it 2x fast for my lil’ cousins & Lil’
Frankie, they (including myself) laugh our asses off!! :rofl Love tha title
too! >>> :rofl :rofl @ Ultra Records!! This was originally on Hear
Music! :rofl :rofl At tha 1:00 part, tha music switches up a lil’, and my
version doesn’t have a 2nd verse. I think tha 2nd verse
iz a lil’ weird. Plus, in mine, it doesn’t say tha “that you lost to cocaine”
part in tha beginning. One of my most played Dance songs of 2008. That piano at
tha end iz odd. I always think tha song iz goin’ on a lot longer, but it ain’t.
MCD plays this more than MCE (MCE has SVD Radio Edit). My Current Rating: 4.9 <- That
was like an earned rating ‘cause of tha 3 months I’ve had tha SVD version and
how much this song has played wit me
17.
Nick Fiorucci Feat. Kelly Malbasa “The Night (Chriss Ortega Radio Edit)”
I
forgot tha info on this one, but there’s another Kelly on this PO. I bet’cha she’s better! >>> Not bad start.
Sounds like Nervous Records. Tha 2nd verse sounded better. Gonna try
and get used to this. :tu My Rating: 3.9
EDIT: Tha label iz tha well
known Hi-Bas Records. :tu
18.
Tamia “Me (Soul Seekerz Radio Mix)”
Could’ve
been tha 8th song I known, but it ain’t (‘cause Party 105.3 just
added it). Never heard it yet, so we’ll see how she gon make a comeback wit tha
SS! >>> She really an R&B singer, but it looks like she has more
success in tha Dance world (she signed to 2 labels I don’t even know what they
are; they’re not tha usual R&B labels). Tha chorus iz pretty hot. Hot music
and tha good ol’ Tamia wit those lyrics and vocals. :tu :tu I’m glad it’s
already on one of my sources so I can play it right away! Real good shit right
here. Yeah ya gotta choose yourself. No need to follow or dickride (a.k.a.
cater to non-stop without caring for others) anyone; choose yourself first! My Rating: 4.4
19.
Fragma “Toca’s Miracle (Inpetto UK Edit)”
I
guess you can say 8th song I know. Why iz this on here again… only
it’s No. 19 instead of No. 18??? Are they tryin’ to “David Guetta” Fragma now
wit tha UK/always on PO shit? This iz just
falling off my playlist. *Deals wit it wit a sore-ass throat!* >>> Yeah
totally David Guetta’d out. It sounds so fuckin’ off beat compared to tha other
Inpetto Edit. Wow 12 seconds shorter… Ooh. I’d rather tha 12 seconds. Lol @ tha
same ending beat! My Rating: N/A
<- Sorry, I had to do that!
20.
Ne-Yo “Closer (Radio Edit)”
9th
song I know. I guess I can deal wit tha “not Dance” song at tha end since Fragma’s
pukeness had to be before it. Tha one who produced this iz by tha name of
Stargate (he produced slow jammers like BeyoncĂ©’s “Irreplaceable” and Chris
Brown’s “With You” that have that same type of slow Pop/R&B beat, and also
produced tha upbeat ones like Rihanna “Don’t Stop The Music”). This iz prolly a
first for a PO… This song iz on PO…Urban Radio 5/08… PO…
Mainstream Radio 5/08, and… PO… Dance Radio
5/08! Lol @ tha different genres for this song! Lemme review it. I might be
nice, lol. PO should’ve put “Album Version”
instead of “Radio Edit” since it’s not Dance. >>> I guess this iz fine
for an ending song ‘cause I would know PO
would throw an odd song at tha end if it’s not a mindblowin’ exclusive dance
song. When I first heard tha BPMs in tha beginning, it caught me off guard
unexpectically. I guess this iz good for everyone. Gotta feel tha music
throughout tha chorus. I think I kinda hear enough of his vocals sometimes
during tha chorus. He goes too long. My
Rating: 3.5
Overall: End Time: 9:12 PM. Not
too mindblowing. Just a few real good ones, some that were good, but not many.
A bunch were decent.
