Review #401: Promo Only: Dance Radio March 2010

Reviewed on 3.14.2010 (Review #401)


It’s FrankieThaLuckyDog and damn, look how behind I am wit reviewin’ this!! It was a whole month ago I did my previous review and now, I’m finally back! It goes ta show you how college can EAT UP your time!! Damn… But, I’m now free on this Sunday so here it goes! Here goes my review for Promo Only: Dance Radio March 2010! BTW, Tuesday, tha 16th, I gon be LIVE ON MY TV STATION UP HERE IN NORTHEAST PA!!!!! I do a two minute segment for my college’s local news. Everybody LUVS how I make tha video for it (instead of staring at tha camera for two minutes straight) and there’s a shit load of creativity in it! I don’t got any of my clips I made on YT yet but I’m not sure when I’m gonna put one up… Start Time: 6:38 PM | End Time: 9:04 PM


Quick Notes:
1. I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0. 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) so any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating.
To tha artist/producer: Don’t get catchy feelin’s if I don’t like a song on a first listen. Things could change in tha future as I could love it, so you neva know!
2. 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.
3. AL = Anticipation Level
4. MC = Music Choice (wit these letters attached, it adds to MC: D/E = Dance/Electronica (just a D or an E represents tha separate part of tha channel); R = Rap; H = Hitlist; HH&R&B = Hip-Hop And R&B; SOTS = Sounds Of The Seasons)
5. PO = Promo Only
6. iPR = iPartyRadio
7. RE = Radio Edit
8. PFM = Party FM
9. PB = Perfect Beat
10. MS = MySpace
11. YT = YouTube
12. FB = Facebook
13. IC = In-consideration (of playing tha song)
14. HM = Hit mixer
15. Any other initials usually relate to tha artist/song I’m currently reviewin’.
16. DvD = Dance vs. Dance (meanin’ a Dance artist covered/remade another Dance artist’s song)

© 2010 CD Review (Review #401) reviewed on 3.14.2010 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. Adam Lambert “Whataya Want From Me (Fonzerelli Electro House Radio Mix)”
Not sure if this iz a gay guy? He had a Dance-Pop vibed song before this one and it sounded better. I wonder what made everyone go crazy ova this? Lemme hear if Fonzerelli did a good mix to this… >>> LOL… Sounds a lil’ good for a start. All tha title parts make me laugh how they’re random. Pretty good beat here; wouldn’t’ve expected better for a beat like this for this song. Good job for a start here wit a HM like this. My Rating: 3.7


02. Ludacris Feat. Shawnna “How Low (DJ Frank E Clean Short Mix)”
LOL @ MCD gettin’ this. For a chipmunk in tha song, it should be more funny if that’s tha case. This one doesn’t have dat much humor to it although tha beat iz pretty good. I’m not that inta this song here as it’s like a Pop Rap song so I don’t really have much ta say about this. LOL @ it bein’ Dance remixed. My Current Rating: 3.3


03. Jes “Lovesong”
Tha fastest song on this CD (135 BPM); what’ll it bring for a comeback? >>> I like tha start here wit tha cool Electronic Dance soundin’. DEFINITELY a hot one here!! She makes each and every “song” sound GR8 and tha beat DEFINITELY iz workin’ here!! Shout out to her producers that she picks!! Damn, talk about it bein’ SO long since I looked at tha tracklisting and tha facts about tha songs! This iz a remake of an old song (I remember readin’ dat somewhere) and I totally forgot ‘til I heard tha chorus. I DEFINITELY think it’s hot though so thumbs up!! My Rating: 4.5


04. Steve Aoki Feat. [[[Zuper Blahq]]] “I’m In The House (LP Radio Edit)”
What do we got here? A content warning and a 133 BPM song? I have a high AL but who knows, wit an LP Radio Edit, dat could sound more original than Dance? Let’s see… >>> I knew this was gonna be a lil’ weird for a start. I can’t even picture there bein’ 133 on a song like this… LOL, this iz like Rap vs. weird Dance but now dat I’m hearin’ tha rhymes, I’m REALLY feelin’ this in a way! Sounds like it’ll be a REAL GR8 playlist song for me! Likin’ tha beat here; luvin’ tha originalness!! Tha 1st verse DEFINITELY iz somethin’ I like for rappin’! Tha 2nd verse not bad but I liked tha 1st one betta. My Rating: 4.3


05. The Temper Trap “Sweet Disposition (Axwell & Dirty South Radio Edit)”
This iz REAL HOT right here!!! I saw PFM add it and I YT’d it before I heard this mix. I automatically didn’t IC it at all. But, I heard it on tha mixshows on MCD so many times and didn’t realize it was this song. I know this iz one of tha artists my college plays (‘cause they have a magazine layin’ out wit them on tha front cover) but it looks like this iz more of a Dance anthem. VERY HOT beat from DS and GR8 vocals ta contribute ta this!! My Current Rating: 4.7


06. Darude “In The Darkness (Tech Edit)”
I expect REAL GOOD wit this one!! >>> Ooh, female vocals this time!! And it’s DEFINITELY HOT!!! Talk about a REAL HOT CD so far minus tha 1st two songs!!! GR8 job wit tha lyrics too!! FIRE HOT HERE!!! Go Robbins!!! It felt real short but you KNOW it’s tha shit to tha fullest!! VERY HOT vocals + VERY HOT beat + HOT lyrics = VERY HOT SONG!!! My Rating: 4.6


07. Kat DeLuna Feat. Akon “Push Push”
Betta be good for a no mix!! >>> Sounds like a sample in tha beat here? Can’t think of what it could be… Not bad on tha chorus; at least she’s puttin’ some Dance in her style to show luv. Will this be a Dance-only song like “Dance Bailalo”? Not bad for a song… My Rating: 3.8


08. Alphabeat “Hole In My Heart (Wideboys Stadium Radio Edit Remix)”
It says Unsigned on tha label here… That gives me AL and so does Wideboys! iPR has tha original version of this song so now, lemme FINALLY hear it!! >>> Not sure of how tha vocals are soundin’ here… Almost reminds me of ‘80s. Oh wait, here comes a female! ;) She’s got a ‘90s twist on her voice! Nice job from tha WB’s on tha mix! Not bad for tha song so far… Pretty good on tha chorus a lil’ bit… I liked how tha bridge sounded on this. Nice lil’ song here; thumbs up. My Rating: 4.0


09. Morgan Page Feat. Lissie “Strange Condition (Inpetto Radio Edit)”
MCD’s too busy “fighting” wit dat other song (and they even got anotha one in late night rotation) while they added this song too (only saw it once). As always for him, I usually expect a decent Dance song; let’s see what we got. >>> MCD’s gay wit their labelin’ now as they don’t even list tha mix they have. I hear Lissie’s on tha vocals again here; they make a good team! Tha start iz pretty good. She sounds pretty hot here; good Dance song. I like this one right here; thumbs up on all tha HOT mixin’! My Rating: 4.1


10. Matisse “Better Than Her (DiscoTech Radio Edit)”
Looks like it gon be a gurl based off tha title! I HOPE so ‘cause I got my AL up fa this one!! >>> Not bad start here; glad it’s a gurl. Sounds like a Pop song remixed. I thought this was gonna be a lil’ “better” but it’s still pretty good based off of how it sounds. Not bad on tha verses too; a lil’ bit of ear-catchers. My Rating: 3.8


11. School Gyrls “Something Like A Party (Chew Fu Radio Edit)”
DAMN!! This song too?!? :tu I didn’t even know what tha hell it was when I saw tha tracklisting. Then, it was added on MCH (original version), which it sounded like a Dance-Pop song. Now, MCD plays it often and I just think it’s real catchy!! Hot lil’ gurls here doin’ it wit Chew Fu on tha mix! Didn’t like tha “Russian Roulette” mix they did but after tha “Sunrise” song from tha last CD, I’m DEFINITELY feelin’ them!! Thought it was Dave Audé on tha mix at 1st? LOL… My Current Rating: 4.4


½time: DEFINITELY thinkin’ this CD iz REAL HOT so far!!! I guess delayin’ it makes tha anticipation RISE!!! Luv a SHIT LOAD of tha songs on here already!!! Tha average CD rating iz 4.1; I expect it to stay dat way!!!


12. Passion Pit “Little Secrets (Felix Da Housecat Radio Edit)”
Didn’t like “The Reeling” at first. Then, after like four months, I started likin’ it due to MCD beastin’ it (which they still do). Hope they replace it wit this although this iz a MCE remixer… How Dance (or Electronica) will it be? >>> This iz more MCE here wit tha way it sounds. My college plays this band and it sounds like it would fit them; I do like this sound though. Sounds nice and consistent wit a different style! My Rating: 4.3


13. Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina “Stereo Love”
A VERY, VERY HOT ONE HERE!!!! A MCD HOT song!!! >>> I thought this was tha same mix as MCD but then again, no labelin’ their mix! :td Tha collaboration iz REAL, REAL HOT here!!! It’s a REAL HOT duet and tha vocals are REAL, REAL TIGHT!!!!! Tha gurl sounds like Sun wit tha way she sounds! :) MCD’s mix iz faster than this… Should be HUGE wit me!!!!! Tha sound in tha beat iz like tha sound for In-Grid’s songs; REAL, REAL HOT!!! Gonna look up tha mix dat MCD plays and find it ASAP!! I’m still turned on by this watered-down version though, lol. Good job from Ultra on tha signin’!! My Rating: 4.7
EDIT: Good thing for YT! Tha MCD mix iz tha Scotty Remix Edit!!


14. Sylvia Tosun vs. Noferini & Marini “Push N Pull (Trevor Simpson & Jared-F Radio Edit)”
There are a WHOPPIN’ three SeaToSun Recordings songs on here; that’s watz up!! This iz tha 1st one; you KNOW I got buku luv fa Sylvia!!! >>> Tha hot vocals startin’ it off here wit an okay beat start! Hot start wit tha vocals and then, it sounds like a conversation from a plane or somethin’ wit tha guy, lol. REALLY likin’ tha vocals although it sounds like this iz a different soundin’ song. Not bad but thumbs up to those verses!! My Rating: 4.2


15. Ciara Corr “Get My Way”
What iz this? >>> Sounds hot for a start! DEFINITELY hot for tha production here and she’s soundin’ good on this shit! Catchy song and tha verses are good; thumbs up to this gurl! She’s a HOT “maggot for trouble!” Not much else ta say but good job! This CD DEFINITELY iz comin’ through wit some REAL, REAL HOTNESS!!! My Rating: 4.1


16. Example “Won’t Go Quietly (E.P.I.C. Radio Edit)”
:rofl !! Anotha MCD song I didn’t expect ta be on here!! I thought I heard it at first and then again, I wasn’t sure exactly what it was like. I kept confusin’ it wit MCE ‘cause they added tha song too (but I think a different mix). Lemme see… >>> Yea, I rememba tha rappin’ sound a lil’ bit. Sounds like rappin’ but I don’t think it iz; still a catchy song though. MCD pretty good wit addin’ these songs! Tha chorus sounds short but it sounds hot wit tha music! My Rating: 3.9


17. Shontelle “Licky (Under The Covers)”
This iz tha BIG flop for me on here! :td And what’s worse iz in this case, it’s not even DvD; it’s Pop RIPPIN’ off Dance/Electronica!! Not only dat, tha BPM of 126 ALSO was stolen!! I’m talkin’ ‘bout Larry Tee Feat. Princess Superstar “Licky” (from 11/08 PO); this song ripped that song off!! I know this ain’t anything for me on here ‘cause she’s got a new slow song out now. But, whateva, let’s see what review it gets! >>> Well, I don’t like tha stealin’ but tha song sounds a lil’ on tha catchy/hot side. Oh yea, one thing it DIDN’T steal was tha content warning! Tha other version had a content warning while this one doesn’t. Tha lyrics sound tasty on this one. LOL @ my “thought of flop;” I’m turned on instead! ;) My Current Rating: 3.8


18. Julissa Veloz “Take Control (Sted-E & Hybrid Heights Radio Mix)”
I think this was tha 2nd SeaToSun song… *Checks* Nope, Carrillo Music!! No WONDER tha HOTNESS on tha ID!!! I have a HIGH AL for this one and I KNOW it’ll be GR8!! >>> Not bad for tha start here; puttin’ my focus to tha test. Almost sounded borderline in tha beginning here wit tha chorus. Not bad for a song here but you KNOW I luv tha new music!! Pretty good job and keep up tha good work to all y’all at Carrillo Music! My Rating: 3.8


19. Loverush UK! Feat. Carla Werner “Give Me Your Love (Matt Lange Radio Edit)”
Now it’s more noticeable wit tha SeaToSun song; this iz tha 2nd one! …Whataya think? I feel REAL excited for this one!! You KNOW if it’s SeaToSun, it’s OFFICIAL!! >>> Follow up to “Fountains Of Youth”!! Prolly would’ve had more goin’ on wit tha music here but tha vocals DEFINITELY are on tha hot/sweet tip!! This would be a HOT Vocal Trance song if it was faster! Not bad of a song though; DEFINITELY passes tha average tip! My Rating: 3.8


20. Late Night Alumni “Finally Found”
MCD (and tha mixshows) got some catchy repetitive song called “You Can Be The One”; I thought that was on here. Did MCD or MCE pick this one up too? I don’t remember but I thought I saw it somewhere… >>> Sounds a lil’ sweet on tha start here. Sounds like a different kinda Dance but on a hot side! Sounds like it has potential on my college station’s format? That would be a good look! Nice lil’ song here; hope it also gets out there! My Rating: 3.9


21. Ron Reeser & Dan Saenz Feat. Jennifer Karr “Into You”
PO already got this one quickly! That’s a thumbs up!! Let’s see tha follow-up to “Everything”!! >>> Sounds anticipatin’ for a start; feelin’ these vocals!! This iz pretty good and different from “Everything”; tha chorus iz pretty good too! I like how tha title sounds and this lady just doin’ her thang on this song! I thought tha song would be longer but it was good fa what it was! My Rating: 4.0


22. Freedom Williams “Party Time (Get Up, Get Down) (Sted-E & Hybrid Heights Radio Edit)”
I rememba this bein’ tha 3rd SeaToSun song… Kinda feels weird to know that it iz. I guess we gon get our “Everybody Dance Now” C&C Factory on wit this; how will it end this REAL HOT PO off?? >>> Almost sounds like Timbaland in tha background and tha beat sounds like it samples Sunfreakz Feat. Andrea Britton “Counting Down The Days (Axwell Edit)” in tha beat, which iz good. I like how this sounds and even down ta him rappin’/appearin’ on here, it sounds like tha old dayz. Tha 2nd verse even sounded pretty good fa this. My Rating: 3.9


Overall: Well, I’m DEFINITELY impressed of tha PO this time!! Only tha 1st two songs were ehh (well, mainly just tha Ludacris/Shawnna one) but tha rest of them at least were above average for me! LUVIN’ ALL THA NEW SONGS FOR THA SPRING!!! A lot of tha songs DEFINITELY gon be REAL BIG wit me (#3, 4, 5, 6, 11 & 13 mainly for now) and tha other ones that I thought were okay on FL prolly gon turn out ta be playlist songs wit me!
