YEAH!!
It’s Frankie here… Wow what an AMAZING week I’ve been having! It all started
wit my 20th birthday 3 dayz ago: I got lottery tickets and won $9. I
cashed them in and won $21. Then yesterday, I cashed those in and I won a free
$1 ticket, but I also won $500 on a $20 scratch-off!! OMG!!!!! Then I cashed in
tha free $1 ticket and got another $1 ticket. I wound up winning $90 on
that!!!!! Today, I cashed them in and bought my mom a $20 ticket (she lost) and
I bought $36 in tickets for myself. I won $150 on them!! Will all this shit
equal lots of success on this PO? I HOPE so!!
Here it iz… without knowing tha tracklisting yet (I’m gonna look at each track
one by one (except for a few)). Here’s my review for Promo Only Dance Radio July 2008. I also don’t know any info about
each track (intro, length, BPM, label, etc.). Start Time: 8:41 PM | Video
Game Playing: Bomberman Hero (for Nintendo 64) (on my computer)
Before
I see tha songs, here’s what I predict:
No. of songs on CD: 21
Highest BPM: 140
Lowest BPM: 116
Songs I Predict That Are
On Here:
Michelle Williams “We Break The Dawn (Karmatronic Radio Edit)”, Ne-Yo “Closer
(StoneBridge Radio Edit)”, Madonna “Give It 2 Me (Oakenfold Radio Edit)”, Mark
Mysterio Feat. Laura V “Let Loose (Radio Edit)”, Junkie XL Feat. Lauren Rocket “Cities
In Dust (Radio Edit)”, The Pussycat Dolls “When I Grow Up (Radio Edit)” <-
That one mainly ‘cause you know how PO iz
sometimes…
Songs I HOPE To Be On
Here:
Estelle “American Boy (Soulseekerz Radio Remix)”, Alanis Morissette “Underneath
(Josh Harris Radio)”, Kelita “Feel The Drums (Radio Mix)” <- I never heard
Kelita’s new song yet, but I saw Amathus Music promoting it on MySpace (as well
as tha “You’re The One” song from tha last PO).
Dunn
dunn dunn…
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 #99) reviewed on 6.24.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. Michelle Williams “We Break The Dawn (Karmatronic Radio Edit)”
Ahhh
this iz tha No. 1 song on here… LOL! Gonna re-hear it. All my sources have
this. She a former member of Destiny’s Child. >>> A great intro on
this. I love intros that have words slowly fading in. As far as vocals, they’re
okay on this. It might take some time for me to like this song better ‘cause
it’s just okay for now (tha music iz great tho). I have a feeling since this
was tha 1st song that this CD might shock me later on! My Rating: 3.8
02.
Estelle “American Boy (Soulseekerz Radio Edit)”
PO Error No. 1: Kanye West iz not in tha Dance
remix. I’m REAL GLAD this iz on here!!! BANGIN’!! Even tho it’s a HM, MCD don’t
have it in heavy rotation. :td Stupid MCD… I just LOVE tha music and it’s
DEFINITELY one of tha HOTTEST HMs this year!! And look at this, I just thought
tha original was okay. This mix iz tha shit! Love tha interlude (which
originally in tha original version was Kanye’s part) wit tha “cool down down
down, go down down down.” :tu My Current
Rating: 4.7
03.
Kaskade & deadmau5 Feat. Haley “Move For Me (Radio Edit)”
LOL
I didn’t predict this would be on here… It just didn’t hit my brain… But I
think good vocals and good music so I wanna re-hear! >>> Okay yeah tha
music iz nice and tha vocals are good too. I don’t need to say much. It’s good
for mainstream Dance stations. My
Rating: 3.9
04.
The Mac Project Feat. Therese “Another Love (Radio Edit)”
I
think I heard this on Radio Danz (a station that plays on tha blog that I go
on). First song I don’t officially know so DEFINITELY a HIGH AL for this!!!
>>> How many short songs are there? Lol @ this bein’ tha 3rd
one. Tha music iz cool in tha beginning. :tu This iz hot. Really diggin’ tha
music and Therese has another hit on her hands! Definitely a VERY GOOD 1st
listen!! My Rating: 4.6
05.
Lady GaGa “Just Dance (HCCR’s Bambossa Radio Edit)”
PO
Errors 2-4 (lmao): Gaga iz really GaGa, Colby O’Donis (a singer) iz not in this
(as he’s supposed to be after tha 2nd verse), and Hccr should be
capitalized ‘cause it’s Harry “Choo Choo” Romero (a name). Glad this iz finally
on here and this version! MCD been on this since tha original came out and it’s
hot. I neva really wanted this mix ‘cause I liked tha original better, but now that
it’s on here, why not, I’ll add it. Great shit either way. Why ain’t Pop
stations on this?!? It’s like tha “Whine Up” of 2008 (no less this remix iz on
a July PO like “Whine Up (Johnny Vicious Party Radio Mix)” was last year). My Current Rating: 4.4
06.
Sam Sparro “Black & Gold (JW Radio Edit)”
Oh
no… WRONG MCE SONG!!! I wanted/predicted Junkie XL Feat. Lauren Rocket “Cities
In Dust” to be on here (a new MCE song). This iz a new MCE song too, but I
don’t think it’s that good… Low AL on re-hearing! >>> Not feeling it…
BORING!!! Tha music iz decent, but boring vocals…! MCE has a Phones Remix as
well as this. This CD was startin’ to get consistent too. :( My Rating: 2.9
07.
Ne-Yo “Closer (StoneBridge Radio Edit)”
This
iz 1 of 4 songs I’m not gonna look at tha ID… I predict that I know tha song.
>>> Ha ha ha lol lol lol it’s “Closer (StoneBridge Radio Edit)” by
Ne-Yo. LOL @ all tha hit mixers like last year’s! They’re not bad tho. I’m
feelin’ tha BPMs and this song needed a remix. Yeah this song grew on me since
tha PODR5/08 review that tha original was on. My Rating: 3.9
08.
T2 Feat. Jodie Aysha “Heartbroken (WaWa Main Radio Version)”
By
lookin’ at tha ID it looks like it’s from a label I don’t know (since I don’t
know everything about this song). Here goes my mysterious listen… >>> Good
a female. Good start! Nice and refreshing! Gotta love Dance music like this!!
And it just keeps gettin’ BETTER and BETTER!! Best song so far… Can it hold it?
My Rating: 4.8
09.
Nadia Ali “Crash & Burn (Radio Edit)”
Ooh
can it be 2 BANGERZ in a row? HIGH AL!!
>>> Sounds like MCE music in tha beginning. It’s kinda smooth but I
guess aight. Needs a remix or somethin’. We’ll see how it does in tha future. My Rating: 3.7
Break: It’s 9:58 PM right now
and too bad I got home late or else I would’ve done this earlier. I gotta
listen to this show on Crescent City Radio ( online internet station http://www.crescentcityradio.com )
wit my boy Big Money Matt “The Tuesday Night Throwdown” (wit my dawg Alex
McConduit in tha studio as well as my gurlz D. Webb & Ally B). They always
shout me out (as I call in and check in live on tha air) and they played a
theme song I made for Alex McConduit’s show yesterday so I’m their most
faithful listener! :) I’ll be back when it ends in 2 hours. >>> Aight
finally back it’s 12:09 AM. They shouted me out in tha very beginning of tha
show. Then I called in and talked about how my day went and guess what… my
fuckin’ internet starts goin’ in and out when I’m on tha air… WTF?!?!? Tha
stream stayed on without disconnecting for 113 FUCKIN’ minutes straight and
then when I get on, it starts actin’ funny… Fuckin’ gay-ass connection I have!
They even said somethin’ else good about me but I only recorded like a ½ of it.
:( Whatever it’s all good I guess ‘cause I love tha shows and I’m dying to know
what’s left on this CD…!
10.
The Ting Tings “Shut Up And Let Me Go (Haji & Emanuel Radio Edit)”
Oh
shit I actually wanted their last song, “Great DJ (7th Heaven Remix)”,
that MCD just got to be on here (forgot to predict). I guess PO
iz ahead of their game since they put TT’s new song on here (and looks like it
gon be another great HM)! High AL
on this remix! >>> Not bad for a start. Tha music iz kinda cool, but
that other song, “Great DJ”, was a lot better, especially tha MCD mix! Tha
other song had a better topic too wit a much catchier chorus (even said “BPM”
in one of tha verses). My Rating: 3.7
½time: If this iz even tha ½time
right now (usually it iz)… Some were real good (like I had 3 real high rated
songs already) and some slacked… Hope surprises are coming up! Huge AL!!
11.
DJ Russ Harris Feat. Adam Barta “Standing In The Rain (Tony Arzadon Radio
Edit)”
No.
11 (which I’m always curious about), so I’m gonna make this tha 2nd
song where I don’t look at tha ID. It BETTER be somethin’ I don’t know… !!!
>>> Slow, smooth trance start… Long intro. I don’t know it already. :)
Maybe I do know it… *Waits for tha title to come outta nowhere…* Okay it’s not
that “Rapture” song by Toby (somethin’) that’s on tha iPR Music Panel right
now. It starts to pick up during tha chorus. YES I DON’T KNOW IT!! Yeah tha
vocals are okay but I just really like that chorus. Sounds like someone I would
know. I wanna say, but I’ll wait ‘til I see what tha ID iz when this song
finishes. This iz a long song I think… My
Rating: 4.2
*CHECKS ID* Oh wow I would’ve had
huge AL if I
would’ve saw it, but I was still very curious. GREAT ID & GREAT COLLABO!! I
was gonna think it had to do wit “Promise Her Anything” by CoStarz & Robert
Martin, lol.
12.
Bishop Kennedy Feat. Suzanne Carlson “I Believe (Radio Edit)”
OMG
look what we have here!! HIGHEST AL on this CD so far!! OMG PO threw DJ RH and
Bishop Kennedy back 2 back?!? My GOD!!! Prolly a high BPM too!!! >>> During
tha chorus, it sounds like a remake. It sounds hot tho wit all that fast music.
Again, this iz a 3rd one for BK (he did his thang and proved
remixers wrong wit “Time After Time” and “I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight”).
Of course very good interlude wit tha music. Good shit right here! Tha vocals
are pretty good too, but it can’t beat that music. I almost don’t want it to
end! My Rating: 4.6
13.
Metro Station “Shake It (Lenny B Remix Edit)”
Wow
more fastness! 2 FAST ones in a row! I was gonna predict this one was gonna be
on here too (but I forgot). I scanned and I got 136 BPM. This sounds a lil’
slower. Just like wit Miley Cyrus, this was a rockish Pop song wit a high
amount of BPM (this had 150 as tha original version), but when I hear tha BPM
over tha Rock shit, then I like it. This iz THA SHIT!!!! Especially remixed by
Lenny B!!! :tu This CD iz now startin’ to get like me winnin’ on my lottery
tickets… it’s just nothin’ but GREATNESS! Best Rock song of 2008! My Current Rating: 4.7
14.
Rihanna “Disturbia (Main Radio Edit)”
This
will be tha 3rd song I don’t look at tha ID. Too much FUCKIN’ AL!!! >>> I
don’t know it, but it sounds slow and poppy, lol. OMG iz this tha new Rihanna
song? LMFAO… “Disturbia”? On here? LOL!! :rofl :rofl I guess it was “dancey”
enough wit its 125 BPM. :rofl Ewe she said “shit,” but it was edited, lol.
Those “bum bum bi-dum” parts sound catchy and like a remake. Okay I’m feelin’
this. Heard it on MCH and was unsure at first, but it sounds nice. My Rating: 4.1
15.
Anané Feat. Mr. Vegas “Shake It (Vega Radio Mix)”
Oh
wow 2 non-dance songs in a row. This iz more Dancehall. >>> Hey this
mix sounds different than tha Radio Edit I have. Hey tha music sounds cool in
this (it sounds like Aladdin wit tha genie type of sounds). Lol @ almost 2
“Shake It”s in a row too. :rofl I think this was on most of tha POs. Most of
them added it last month. That chorus iz simple but tight. Tha music in this iz
just as good (or actually better) than tha Radio Edit I have. Why aren’t many
Urban/Pop sources on this? It’s prolly ‘cause this song iz through Tommy Boy
Records, which Urban/Pop don’t play many jointz from that label now. Love that
ending. It was more Aladdinish. :tu My
Rating: 4.7
16.
Booty Luv “Shine (Radio Edit)”
This?
LMAO… I almost was not gonna look at tha ID ‘cause of it bein’ No. 16. Wow this
iz old… Older than “Some Kinda Rush”, which was a BIG song for me (hit iPR tha
week of my 4th semester, Late January 2008). That song didn’t get
signed Domestic, so I guess this did? Ultra… LOL… But I do REALLY like it. It’s
a remake of Luther Vandross’s song that was on tha PODR9/06 issue. It’s a lot
better! I heard it on Radio Danz. Can’t wait to hear it again!! >>> Tha
music iz bangin’ (love Booty Luv’s production). Love it. :) Wonder how it’s
gonna do… I don’t think this’ll be that big… MCD beastin’ “Some Kinda Rush”
(since April 2008), so who knows what’ll happen. I wish they’d pick it up and
FINALLY get rid of tha Luther Vandross one ‘cause that’s just… pretty much
dead. My Rating: 4.6
17.
Oscar G Feat. Anne Lise Nicole “You (Friscia & Lamboy Tribal Mix Radio
Edit)”
Some
underground shit I see… Definitely a high AL. Party 105 had it in their mixshow
I saw… >>> I wonder who iz on tha vocals… It’s a female. This iz
different for F&L beats. This iz not bad, but compared to No. 11-16, it’s
tha smallest (when it comes to my rating), lol. LOL @ tha repetitiveness. My Rating: 3.7
18.
SK8 “Amnesty (Chris Cox Radio Edit)”
This
iz tha last song I’m not lookin’ at tha ID. No AL… >>> I know it, but I’m glad
it’s on here. I so didn’t expect this! HOT beat!! It’s gonna always remind me
of me mailing out my CD singles to producer (sometimes rapper) Savage and an
interview I ripped from Alex McConduit’s “Hip-Hop Hour” show wit Dee-1 (when I sent
it to my boyz Jimmy The DJ & Dee-1 in tha mail). Love it and I’m glad Party
105 at least played it (they give it like 7 spins a week around)! I think there
should’ve been more words in tha verses and tha chorus plays too much. SHIT
that beat iz HOT. Glad this iz tha mix that PO
picked!! Damn I wish this song could get more exposure!!! My Current Rating: 4.8
19.
Loveless Feat. Amanda Wilson “Found A Miracle (Simmons & Christopher Radio
Edit)”
There
are TONS of Amanda Wilson featured songs out now (mainly on Radio Danz. I have
this new song by Danny Dove & Steve Smart (featuring her) “Need In Me” and
it’s pretty good. Then there’s Aurora’s
new song “Love Resurrection” (featuring her). There’s like one or two more also
I think). I have a feeling this’ll be better than tha “Need In Me” song I have.
High AL!!
>>> Better intro!! Sounds like “Hold It, Don’t Drop It (Moto Blanco)”
in tha music! This iz hot. Bangin’ music and tha song sounds great! It iz better than “Need In Me” for me. :) My Rating: 4.3
20.
Lenny B Feat. Nadja “Radical (Original Radio Edit)”
Wow
this looks like it’s ending HOT!! OMG another Lenny B production on this CD!!!
VERY HIGH AL!!!
>>> A lil’ odd on tha intro, but you know he puts that hot music to
it. Who’s doin’ tha vocals? Actually, I’m really feelin’ that intro music part
(as it plays after tha chorus). Chorus iz good and it’s nice and loud. I think
I like tha Loveless/Amanda Wilson song better. My Rating: 4.1
21.
Ashlee Simpson “Little Miss Obsessive (Dave Audé Radio)”
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What happened to all tha consistentness?!? BTW, I really like Ashlee Simpson
and I love Dave Audé, but this song + mix = shit. I previewed it and didn’t
like it. I’d rather hear tha Rock/Pop album version wit Tom Higgenson (of Plain
White T’s) ‘cause that’s better and it has all Rock instruments in tha chorus!
LOL!! What’s wrong wit you PO? This song has
gotten old now. Shit, reminds me when I was wit my boy Juice and he was typing
up a paper. I do like tha “I got in a fight wit myself; got tha bruises to
prove it” part. That part made me like tha original. I do not like how it’s
just her on tha chorus and tha “whoa” parts after tha chorus. Tha only thing
that’s good iz that interlude. Dave Audé also remixed her last song “Outta My
Head (Ay Ya Ya)” (which that mix was good). I just think Dave Audé needs to
change up tha style a lil’ bit ‘cause tha music during tha chorus sounds like
it has been duplicated by himself. My
Current Rating: 2.5
OH
SHIT THERE’S A No. 22 song!!! That would’ve been scary if “LMO” was last (I
thought Lenny B was gonna be last but I had a feeling there would be more
songs). Watch tha last song not be Dance or some shit…
22.
Dor Dekel Feat. Arista “Boys Of Freedom (Radio Edit)”
Odd
artist name could be good… Have NO CLUE what this gon sound like… >>> A
lil’ faster than some of these songs. Thank God this iz a lil’ weird. Good shit
so far. Tha music iz different and good. :tu That music was tight throughout
tha whole song and tha song itself gets a thumbs up from me. If somebody plays
it, that’ll be a good look. I don’t think anyone’s gonna go for this song
‘cause people don’t like to experiment to other labels and shit (I can tell
this iz from a different label; not like Ultra). My Rating: 4.2
Overall: End Time: 1:43 AM. Oh no
it’s over? :cry: But 22 songs was good. This CD had REAL HOT Dance songs wit
some HOT hit mixers. Some songs were not so good for me. A lot of these songs I
knew already. I’m gonna actually determine and see tha AL points. I’m gonna see which song would
have been my most anticipated song if I would’ve looked at tha tracklist and
info before-hand. And my predictions for songs that I predict will make my
sources will be off of me listening to tha song (so I won’t know what each song
iz signed to and shit like that if I neva heard it yet).

Now
I will check tha stats… We’ll see what shocks me…
The
Mac Project/Therese & Booty Luv songs are imports, lol? Hed Kandi iz tha
Ultra Records import label. I guess Ultra either not on tha move or just a PO error…
LMAO
@ “Black & Gold” having 136 BPM… I bashed it! :rofl
“Closer
(Remix)” had a content warning, meanwhile tha original didn’t? LOL.
Nadia
Ali song had a content warning?
Groove
Factory (tha Avalon Superstar label) in charge of tha Bishop Kennedy &
Loveless/Amanda Wilson songs. Good looks. :tu
LOL
@ tha last song “Boys Of Freedom” having a content warning. Plus, lol @ it
signing to NY2London Records. That song so didn’t fit wit Sharon T and Marina’s songs. I think
it should’ve been on a different label (like somethin’ I would’ve neva heard of
before).
LOL
@ tha Kaskade/deadmau5 song bein’ tha only Ultra Records song. Usually there’s
tons of Ultra Records songs and now there’s officially only one on this CD.
:rofl
This
iz tha longest I’ve typed a PO review (9 pages
now). High BPM was 142 (Bishop Kennedy song) and low BPM was 125. My
statistically highest AL was tha song wit
Therese (it got 19 AL
points for me). And I was wrong about 21 songs on here; there were 22.
