Review #821: Promo Only: Dance Radio January 2011

Reviewed on 1.31.2011 (Review #821)


Without lookin’ forward, here goes my review for Promo Only: Dance Radio January 2011. For tha 1st time wit a PO, I think this iz tha 1st time I’m not gonna listen to tha full songs or rehear songs due to lack of time and tha amount of bullshit on here. Start Time: 11:59 PM | End Time: 12:57 AM


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 #821) reviewed on 1.31.2011 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. Martin Solveig & Dragonette “Hello”
MCD got this a while ago and I feel like it’s too old to IC so I might just have it in “ignored rotation”. It’s like, lol, this iz a long song? Catchy but nothin’ too much wit it. My Current Rating: 3.6


02. Rihanna “What’s My Name (Kik Klap Radio)”
LOL @ PO puttin’ “Feat. Drake”; unfortunately, this mix ain’t. Another song that ain’t too strong for me, currently. She has another one out, now (it might be on tha next PO? I don’t remember). Tha rhythm’s cool but again, nothin’ outstanding. My Current Rating: 3.7


03. Katy Perry “Firework (Jump Smokers Club Radio Edit)”
SMH @ this PFM mix; why not Wideboys? >>> Not bad but when there’s WB, there’s really no need for JS… especially on here. My Rating: 3.4


04. Far*East Movement & Roger Sanchez Feat. Kanobby “2Gether”
Since when do FEM know who RS iz? What does this collab sound like? >>> No one has this, yet? Sounds like a mainstream song wit a pretty-good-soundin’ club beat. Tha rappin’ ain’t bad, beat’s hot, and tha chorus (sampling The B-52’s “Love Shack”) sounds pretty catchy, regardless of tha simple sampling. My Rating: 4.1


05. Penny Foster “Closer To Love”
One of tha only Dance songs on here, signed to Robbins. I guess I’ll anticipate it since it’s a lady… >>> Feelin’ tha start… Sounds like a hot artist wit a hot song/beat! Another one that I’ll listen to tha whole thing! Hopefully, this gets some recognition. MCD luvs Daniela “You & I” so they should think about ICin’ this! My Rating: 4.4


06. Tino Coury “Up Against The Wall (Jump Smokers No Rap Radio Edit)”
Funny how they have NR for tha mix name on this song (borderline song) but not Kim Sozzi (Dance song); funny… I do like tha rap in Kim’s song from JS, though. As far as tha rappin’, it’s mainly an intro, so shouldn’t it be “no intro”, instead? I like tha beat’s intro as well as this song soundin’ catchy, too. I thought this dude was a one-hit-wonder for “Diary”—maybe hit wise but Dance wise, this iz #2 for him. Yea, there was only tha intro for rappin’; shame, PO, for tha labeling, lol. My Current Rating: 4.0


07. Cher “You Haven’t Seen The Last Of Me (Dave Audé Radio Edit)”
A new song from her—better than a remake or somethin’; let’s hear it… >>> Good to hear her back but she had Dance-soundin’ songs without a mix. This iz only a somewhat-decent-soundin’ song; tha mix doesn’t really do anything special to me. My Rating: 3.3


08. David Guetta Feat. Rihanna “Who’s That Chick (Afrojack Remix)”
Not really a fan of this song; doesn’t even make me wanna think it’s “Dance”. What will this PO mix sound like? >>> Sounds a lil’ better and more on tha “Dance” tip than that boring original version. Nothin’ too special but whateva… My Rating: 3.4


09. Selena Gomez & The Scene “A Year Without Rain (Dave Audé Remix Radio Edit)”
>>> Even though this iz more on tha ’10 tip, it sounds hot for a remix. No one’s payin’ attention so it might be more of a flop. I’m definitely feelin’ how it sounds for a remix; DA must luv SG. My Rating: 4.3


10. Samuele Sartini Feat. Amanda Wilson “Love U Seek (Samuele Sartini Radio Edit)”
This + “Seek Bromance”; looks like it’s a double plus for AW. I like this version better and now, MCD just got “SB”, lol. Kinda plain but I enjoy how AW sounds throughout tha whole song as well as this beat. Hope MCD continues ta push this vs. “SB”. My Current Rating: 4.2


½time: 3.8 for tha CD rating but it still sounds like a boring CD…


11. Ricky Martin Feat. Joss Stone “The Best Thing About Me Is You (Jump Smokers Remix Radio)”
Although I’ve really liked JS in tha ’04 dayz (that was, like, tha only year I heard her), this iz only an okay song; nothin’ too special. How many times they gotta have JS as tha mixer? LOL, neva saw RM on PODR before; did they just get him ‘cause he ‘came out’ last year, lol? My Current Rating: 3.2


12. Freemasons Feat. Wynter Gordon “Believer (Radio Edit Master)”
LOL @ puttin’ tha “master” in tha ID; it’s almost like I’m gettin’ music handed to me, lol. This maybe tha hottest song on here; and I thought I was late wit gettin’ it? Didn’t think it would make a PO and MCD now… Tha lyrics are real, real, REAL hot ‘n’ sexy as well as tha pretty-good beat, too. My Current Rating: 4.6


13. Kimberly Caldwell “Desperate Boys & Stupid Girls (Digital Dog Remix Radio)”
Thought this was a Dance song ‘til I saw tha label (Capitol) and then, tha title. >>> Sounds good wit tha DD beat but a lil’ too Popish for me to like-like. Speakin’ of Kimberly, she sounds a lil’ like Kimberley Locke, lol. My Rating: 3.5


14. La Roux “In For The Kill (Razor N Guido Radio Edit)”
This izn’t called for; why do we need ta see this in ’11 when it was here in ’09 (Dean Coleman & Nima Nas version)? Let ’09 die, already!! Get a new La Roux song, PO! My Rating: 2.1 (boredism; can’t be bothered)


15. Hyper Crush “Kick Us Out”
I might’ve liked “Flip The Switch” better (ROFL @ MCD just ditchin’ that song after they would play it frequently) but this sounds more hilarious; gotta luv that girl. It would be pretty cool if this was on tha Mainstream PO but to jump to tha Dance one? A lil’ too fast wit no mix…? My Current Rating: 3.7


16. Good Charlotte “Like It’s Her Birthday (Jason Nevins Radio Mix)”
ROFL, I couldn’t find it!! Pretty pathetic since it’s a HM and I couldn’t find it! (EDIT: Got it; time to review it… Nice music from JN… Sounds okay with how this song sounds, but tha vocals/song itself’s just decent.) My Rating: 2.8


17. P!nk “Raise Your Glass (Vice & Riddler Radio Edit)”
Liam Keegan did a better remix, I assume. >>> Tha beginning sounds like it STOLE “Hello”’s beginning (lol, on tha same CD, too). Funny how tha beginning of this CD didn’t start wit P!nk (like PO always does every odd-number year, lol). Yea, this iz so plain wit tha beat; Liam Keegan for tha win! My Rating: 2.3


18. Dev Feat. The Cataracs “Bass Down Low”
Did tha Summer of 2010 just come back? MCH got this and played it once or twice. Now, they got it again? I guess “Like A G6” made them push this again… I think tha chorus iz catchy but then again, “I like my beats fast”? How come tha BPM’s 113, smh? That ain’t fast; PO needs to get away from this slow shit. I like tha “get a lick of this luvin’” part, lol. My Current Rating: 3.5


19. Usher “More (RedOne Jimmy Joker Remix)”
MCD got this and I was like, “whateva.” I didn’t remember that it was on here? SMH…, boring for me and not too much of a Dance mix for me. My Rating: 2.4


20. Kelsey B “Beauty Queen (DirtyROC Radio Remix)”
Couldn’t find this exact mix online so I’m not even gonna cheat and review a different mix. When tha time comes, I’ll replace my review (EDIT: Got it… Beat’s real boring and there’s really nothing goin’ on with this song; vocals are only aight.). My Rating: 1.7


21. Joey Moe “Yo-Yo”
Ending it wit a Robbins song? Iz it a real-soundin’ Robbins song? >>> Didn’t sound Danceish in tha vocals and now, after 31 seconds, I hear tha beat. Tha beat’s cool but this ain’t really Dance, lol. Bring out tha “yo-yo” tricks, lol. Throw this wit “Sweat (The Drip Drop Song)”, lol. Shit, I think tha WHOLE WORLD turned Dance wit their beats or jack tha style. Every song on tha hit stations sound like Dance beats. My Rating: 3.6


Overall: I know tha next PO’ll have a better outcome!
