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!

Cascada “Pyromania”
ROFL…
It’s now almost five months late and not even a label change I think (I think
it was on Zooland but it says All Around The World; still not domestic). Only
127 BPM? When I got it, it was 132 and it didn’t sound faster or nothin’ (it
was tha music video); maybe this sounds slower? >>> Oh, Lady GaGa…
Then again, Cascada declined and said, “We recorded “Evacuate The Dancefloor”
before she was out.” Still, where’s tha original Cascada? Yea, this sounds a
lil’ slower for some reason even though it’s tha same song/version. This might
be towards tha very bottom of my 2010 YEC comin’ up ‘cause I only played it
once on my computer, once on my iPod and now, this iz like Spin #3. MCD got a
Wideboys Mix and I feel like it’s their “Fever” mix all ova again… Kinda
cheesy; I wish I could feel tha “heat” more, lol. My Current Rating: 3.6
02.
Katy Perry Feat. Snoop Dogg “California Gurls
(Manhattan
Clique Edit)”
BIG
Summer anthem for me and for my gurl Alexia too at my college! Wonder what
it’ll sound like… >>> Ehh, like tha “Waking Up In Vegas” remix start
here… This still sounds good though. I still ROFL @ all tha “Snoop Dogg” lyrics
goin’ on here from tha “gin & juice” to tha “Snoop Doggy Dogg on tha
radio,” lol… Just like when I first heard tha “WUIV” mix, this might take a
lil’ time to catch on, no less since MCD played tha “WUIV” mix from like June
2009 – Februaryish 2010… Good thing for tha Snoop mix; good/interestin’ collab!
My Rating: 3.8
03.
Dan Balan Feat. Katie DiCicco “Chica Bomb”
Mr.
Crazy Loop here… How will he make a comeback as tha “Mai Ya Hi” alias?
>>> So far, an okay start. I hear a mysterious female on tha vocals
here too… Just by hearin’ tha pre-chorus, it sounds like this gon be pretty big
in tha mainstream Dance world for some reason… Soundin’ hot… I don’t have much
ta say ‘bout this; it’s just hot wit those vocals and tha fresh beat. My Rating: 4.2
04.
Benny Benassi Feat. Kelis, apl.de.ap & Jean-Baptiste “Spaceship (“I Can
Fly” Edit)”
LOL,
too many “&”s, PO, lol? You only need one;
use a comma, ROFL! Anyway, speakin’ of Kelis, thumbs up to her for makin’ this
year a “4th of Julyful” year thanx to her song about it, lol. I saw
iPR (on their Facebook) post this music video and it looked cool, which gave me
AL for this
song. Lemme hear it in its full… >>> Thumbs up to this collab; sounds
gr8 wit Kelis on it and tha beat sounds like it gets better and better…;
good-ass Summer song! Thumbs up to artists makin’ their own Dance music and
collaboratin’ wit Dance artists! Tha Black Eyed Peas dude makes a pretty good
appearance on this. Looks like we have a lotta mainstream Dance music now. My Rating: 4.3
05.
DJ Mog Feat. Sarah Lynn “Somewhere”
Thought
tha featured artist was Sharon May-Linn for a second but yea, MCD got this in
late rotation on my birthday so that’s lucky dat it was on my birthday! Lemme
hear what it sounds like… >>> A good, smooth Dance song here wit tha
really gr8 vocals! Anotha good mainstream Dance track here… Keepin’ tha hotness
goin’ wit an interestin’ song like dis! My
Rating: 4.3
06.
Ke$ha “Your Love Is My Drug (Bimbo Jones Radio Edit)”
ROFL @ tha mix and tha intro on this!! :rofl Really, this iz tha 3rd single (previous one barely got out there; just for a short time). A good song and an okay mix… Hope she stays around long ‘cause she’s catchy wit what she does… My Current Rating: 3.9

Reel 2 Real Feat. The Mad Stuntman “I Like To Move It 2010 (Nicola Fasano Radio
Edit)”
Yesterday,
my grandma’s friend had dat “Boom Boom Boom” song on and I always think of dat
song as this… ROFL @ this bein’ resurrected outta nowhere… I feel like I’m in
my 1st school again, lol! Str8 ‘90s dayz of playin’ Donkey Kong
Country 2 on SNES… I’m playin’ Donkey Kong 64 on N64 on my computer right now
so dat’s a weird/unexpected 2010 combo! My
Current Rating: 3.5
08.
The White Tie Affair “You Look Better When I’m Drunk (Donni Hotwheel Radio)”
LOL,
this CD’s at a weird point right now… Just ‘cause tha original version had 128
BPM, that’s why this iz here. I’m not sure if tha mixer’ll do a good job so
let’s see what tha fuss iz about fa puttin’ dis on here… >>> Not much
ta say about tha start; could be better mixed… Tha chorus sounds betta; I like
tha beat now. I don’t know what kinda promotion this’ll get; prolly only on MCH
as a “remix,” lol. This song almost reminds me of rappin’ comin’ outta nowhere
based off tha content, lol! My Rating: 3.8
09.
Bailey Feat. Jodie Connor “Higher State (Clean Radio Mix)”
“Clean”?
Since when was this meant to be dirty, lol? Lemme hear tha full thing now since
MCD only has it in late night… >>> Good on tha beat here and tha
vocals are interestin’… Thumbs up to Next Plateau for showin’ luv ta signin’
it, domestically! I remember tha chorus on MCD and it’s pretty catchy; good
shit! Also, good lyrics for tha title/topic! Hopefully this’ll push NP in a
better position when it comes to signin’ good mainstream Dance songs. Thumbs up
to tha 2nd verse too… Tha bridge iz here… Lemme hear tha dirty part,
lol… LOL, there’s NOTHIN’ dirty about this… I think tha mix labelin’s a lil’
embarassing… I might just source it as “Radio Edit” instead. My Rating: 4.4
10.
Giulietta “Vertigo (Dave Audé Clean Radio Edit)”
Maybe
this iz tha real “clean” version,
lol! >>> Tha start sounds a lil’ odd… Ooh, here comes anotha
mysterious gurl, lol! Sounds a lil’ borderline and tha mix’s a lil’ ehh for
this… LOL @ tha chorus tryna pull up wit tha beat change, lol! Tha 2nd
verse sounds more interestin’ here… Tha rating sounds like it’ll be a lil’ betta
than average here since I feel like I’m in a “mix” wit it, lol. LOL, tha gurl
sounds like she’s rappin’ on tha bridge here; good wit how it mixes here… My Rating: 3.8
½time: Although an expected,
weird start, this iz pretty good considerin’… It just gon get REAL betta
towards tha end!! Lemme just not waste time and announce dat 4.0 iz
tha average CD rating currently!
11.
Audio Playground “Shadows (Digital Dog Radio Edit)”
Just
‘cause tha mix and tha title, I have a feelin’ this iz gonna be way better than
their Erasure remake song from last year on tha 11/09 CD. But, will this sound
like Erasure too? Let’s see… >>> Feelin’ tha “no intro,” lol! I feel
tha AL wit
tha beat here and tha vocals are a lil’ betta than tha Erasure song; sounds
very lil’ like them still on tha vocals though. Tha 1st verse was
good (as stated before) and tha chorus’s pretty good… Nice job wit tha 2nd
verse too but I’m REALLY feelin’ tha breakdown wit tha beat! My Rating: 4.0
12.
Soul Seekerz Feat. Aimee Kearsley “Dancing On The Ceiling”
This
looks anticipatin’; let’s see tha new Robbins song! >>> Hot start wit
tha beat but it sounds like it gon be a lil’ Discoish wit tha chorus here. I
think this iz a remake. Almost sounds like Lionel Richie’s song? Tha verses
sound short although I’m glad at least dat it’s a SS comeback… Sounds kinda
long for 3:37 though… My Rating: 3.7
13.
Michael Bublé “Haven’t Met You Yet (Cutmore Single Edit)”
As
for seein’ a guy, I usually have tha low AL. This guy was on my 89 year-old
grandma’s MCSingers & Swing channel, lol! MCD got this for a late night
song and I think tha chorus was good. Let’s see… >>> Yea, sounds like
an old-ass adult, lol. LOL @ a Dance mix… Yea, tha chorus has a better beat
(lol, just a beat?) but tha song’s just not dat special for me. Damn, why tha
3:50 length? My Rating: 2.8
14.
Kele “Tenderoni (Larry Tee & Beckwith Radio Edit)”
ROFL, this song’s here!!! From MCS&S to MCE, PO’s all ova “tha ceiling,” lol! At first, I’m thinkin’, “How in tha hell did this make it?,” but I’m glad it’s here so I can add it. It’s becomin’ catchy; I like dat beat and tha vocals are pretty creepy though, lol. I have to say, tha chorus reminds me of someone TALKIN’ to their dog, ROFL! Like, “Ooh, puppy, pup!!” Kinda like why this title’s “Tenderoni.” It sounds different too so that’s a plus for me. But ROFL, this’ll only go as far as MCE when it comes to sources, lol! My Current Rating: 4.1

Candi Lynn “Hop’n Pop’n (Disco Fries Clean Radio Edit)”
Anotha
“clean?” ROFL… Outta all these songs, I think this iz tha 1st
content warning on this CD… I like tha lady’s name though so this might be good
for me! >>> Tha beginning’s a lil’ on tha weird, chipmunk style but
tha rappin’ comes outta nowhere on tha 1st verse and sounds good for
me on this beat. Tha 2nd verse sounds REAL hot here wit tha flow on
tha song!! Nice job here wit tha combination! Just tha lil’ chipmunk chorus iz
a lil’ on tha weird side for me. My
Rating: 4.3
16.
Mason “Exceeder (TAI Remix Radio Edit)”
>>>
A WTF for me… What made this resurrect again? It came out in ’06. Then, tha
Princess Superstar version. Now, anotha version? Not feelin’ how these beats
sound. Some of these songs need to be left in tha past. Why do I wanna feel
‘06/’07 when I feel ’10 right now? Sounds really fucked up wit tha beat… :td
Boo @ 2:30; I thought my phone was ringin’! :td We even had ta hear tha
producer’s name tag at tha end… I know how to spell/sound it out, lol! My Rating: 2.1
17.
The Ready Set “Love Like Woe (Digital Dog Radio Edit)”
A
HM here, on tha fast side… Not sure if tha group was guys or gurls so let’s
see… >>> Damn, it’s guys… Kinda sounds gay for a start. This tha 1st
time I’m hearin’ DD on tha mix this fast and it’s on tha gay tip; not good! :td
Tha hook’s “like” “lol?” I only like tha “pill I’m swallowin’ done. To counter
my addiction” part; that’s it. What’s up wit tha DD repeat of tha end of tha
vocal before tha chorus? They did dat in tha Audio Playground song earlier; not
soundin’ like a good effect. My Rating: 2.5
18.
Judy Torres “Stay”
Tha
REAL fast song!! I luv gettin’ dat AL for songs and my
heart races, ya dig!! Maybe Valentin produced? Lemme get ta hear this!!
>>> Definitely sounds like Valentin on tha production! Pretty good
soundin’ so far… Might need ta catch on a lil’ bit wit tha 1st verse
here; almost sounds a lil’ long at first… Tha chorus’s pretty good; tha beat’s
REAL HOT!! It doesn’t sound 137 BPM though; I can’t detect tha BPMs… Maybe
this’ll get promoted more than “Hell No” since she switched back to Robbins
here… Tha 2nd verse’s a lil’ shorter and I get to hear tha chorus
again… It might need tha promotion to catch onto me. Like, it’ll have to be
pretty big. If not, I don’t know how it’ll do wit me… Tha bridge sounds pretty
good… My Rating: 4.2
19.
Natasha Bedingfield “Touch”
Oh
no, a non-Dance song wit no mix… Tha last eva premiere on iPR! :( Hate dat they
had to go!! :( It’s an okay Pop song; I didn’t get it when I first heard it
though. It’s like good mixed wit a lil’ bit of cheese… My Current Rating: 3.6
20.
Get-Far Feat. H-Boogie “The Radio (DJ Ross & Alessandro Viale Edit)”
Tha
“Love Is Gone” gurl teamin’ up wit tha “Shining Star” people for this Next
Plateau-signed song. Even new mixers so let’s see how this goes… >>>
Sounds betta once tha beat kicked in! Finally, somethin’ REALLY anticipatin’
for a start!! VERY HOT beat and it sounds like she grew since “Love Is Gone” a
lil’ bit… Tha rest of tha song keeps it hot; real glad for an unexpected
comeback to this CD AND wit these
people!! My Rating: 4.6
21.
Jaylyn Ducati “Long Run (Giuseppe D Tune-Adiks Edit)”
Here
comes tha 3rd Robbins song. This HAS
ta be tha best one outta tha 3!! I KNOW
we’ll have a REAL GR8 ending this time!! >>> So far, tha start’s
aight. I think tha vocals could be a lil’ betta wit tha beat. However, this
definitely iz above average. I like how tha chorus sounds too but I dunno about
this hittin’ mainstream Dance sources. I expected this to be like Lelah Paine
“Stay” since I saw tha mix. Tha bridge sounds betta here. This iz gonna need
some growin’ in tha future if it wants to do good wit me… My Rating: 3.9
Overall: Tha rating decreased a
lil’ since tha ½time! :( Sounded like a bunch of songs didn’t meet expectations
wit me… This iz gonna be one of those CDs dat has ta grow wit me. I feel like
less and less songs are gettin’ out there thanx to there bein’ no iPR and me
bein’ lazy to check sometimes to see what PFM’s playin’.

@ my tops… No offense, but based off this CD’s expectations towards tha end, I
would’ve neva thought “Higher
State” would be #2
ranked… Either way, those dat I said were good mainstream songs gon prolly do
good and then my #1 song on this CD gon prolly do GR8 wit me!
