01.
Jennifer Lopez Feat. Pitbull “On The Floor”
I
have to say, this has to be tha BEST non-Dance PO
start!! At first, I was scrollin’ through tha channels, hearin’ this, thinkin’,
“damn, “Lambada” got jacked now!” But, somethin’ about it that RedOne did in
tha beat makes it sounds real, real hot/catchy, lol! For Pitbull rappin’, I
think he does a good job unlike a few other times in tha past. Some of those
rhymes are pretty tight, too. Tha only thing that kinda throws me off—although
still catchy—iz tha “on tha floor” shit throughout tha verses. Tha “dance tha
night away…” part sounds like Angel
City “Love Me Right” a
lil’ bit in tha music, too. Pitbull’s 2nd verse sounds tighter wit
all those consistent rhymes! And, of course, J-Lo always holdin’ it down wit those catchy vocals!! My Current Rating: 4.8
02.
Casely “Neva Fall (Alex Gaudino & Jason
Rooney Remix Radio Edit)”
I
think I heard this name before…or maybe not (since Ultra signed it—thought it
was borderline). Tha “neva” in tha title iz like tha way I type, lol. Let’s see
what we got here… >>> A HOT music start here that can’t be resisted!
Oh, now I hear tha vocals… Yea, they’re not for me; sounds Auto-Tuned? Ugh, I hate when urban people use dat A-Tune!
:td I’m really feelin’ tha energetic music—it beats tha weird vocals. Tha music
part at 1:16 I thought I wasn’t gonna like too much but it’s pretty catchy,
too. Tha 2nd verse sounds a lil’ betta… After listenin’ to tha song,
I had to PO-check this artist to see if I heard them and yes, I did. They had
an R&B song a few years ago as well as bein’ featured on DJ Laz’s “Move,
Shake, Drop” (took Benny Benassi’s “Satisfaction” beat) wit Flo Rida &
Pitbull, lol. My Rating: 4.5
03.
Ke$ha “We R Who We R (Fred Falke Radio Edit)”
>>>
Tha music’s pretty tight when tha beat comes in in tha chorus. This song was
poppin’ in tha beginning of this year but because it was hotter when 2010
ended, I didn’t wanna take tha chance to play this and then, it die. Now that
there’s a remix, this helps. As always, a catchy song from Ke$h once again!
Interestin’ dat tha mix iz long, too. My
Rating: 4.2
04.
Matt Darey & Aeron Aether Feat. Ridgewalkers “Chasing The Sun (D-Mad vs.
Matt Darey Radio Edit)”
I
actually found tha radio edit earlier in tha month/late last month on YT. As
for tha song, I listened to it on MCD without seein’ tha ID and it sounded like
a hotter-than-typical Dance song. Tha vocals sound real hot and tha lyrics are
tight, too. It almost reminds me of tha vocals from Darude “In The Darkness” a
lil’ bit. After tha 2nd chorus, it sounds like it ends so fast;
thought it would be a lil’ longer. My
Current Rating: 4.0
05.
Get-Far Feat. Vaanya Diva “Free (Get-Far & Paolo Sandrini Radio Edit)”
Another
HOT song! Made sure I got it before
January ended; gotta stay on time! Yea, tha beat’s hot; gotta trust GF on tha
songs. This vocalist ain’t sourced but H-Boogie’s voice iz really easy to tell;
they’re both black, though. My Current
Rating: 4.2
06.
Kristina Maria “Let’s Play (Smash Mode Radio Mix)”
Pretty
HOT ID but unknown label (LupoOne) makes it look Dance for me, even though tha
mix sometimes ain’t Danceish. >>> Sounds like tha music iz givin’ me
more attention than tha vocals. Tha vocals do
sound HM and even that chorus does; soundin’ hotter and hotter! Nice and short,
too! I was tellin’ my gurl at college: I feel like I’m so time-consumed wit
everything—can’t even take tha time to listen to music or add it much, anymore.
:( I really don’t want my playlists decreasing in quality; I just gotta stop
fallin’ behind wit things. My Rating: 4.4
07.
Taio Cruz Feat. Kylie Minogue & Travie McCoy “Higher (Jody Den Broeder
Radio Edit)”
I
like tha original and have been holdin’ off on it to see what this remix sounds
like. MCD has tha version wit just Kylie Minogue, which I rather just prefer
tha original-‘riginal, lol. Let’s see if this remix does anything. >>>
Of course, tha hot start but can it last? LOL, didn’t realize TMcCoy was in tha
beginning; thought he was later. It sounded pretty-good ta hear him. Now, tha
vocals sound better combined here than on tha original beat when Kylie’s on it.
LOL, Kylie’s line: “I got this high without takin’ a pill;” like it. Oh, more
Travie—I knew he had more, lol. It fits good, in my opinion. You know I like
fast rappin’ on a fast beat. Glad to see JDB gettin’ a lil’ better at mixin’
here and there! My Rating: 4.1
08.
Kim Sozzi Feat. Jump Smokers “Rated R (Jump Smokers Remix Radio Edit)”
MCD
always plays this! LOL, I remember
when my boy Al said, “she sounds so cheesy,” at times. Now, it’s “R”-rated,
lol. For me, I would say it’s okay. I’m feelin’ her cockiness in tha lyrics
(e.g., “your love’s PG-13 and my love’s ‘rated R’). Yea, tha RE (original)
sounds like Lady GaGa; people need to stick to their roots, not tha GaGa
evolution when it comes ta Dance artists! ROFL @ tha Jump Smokers part; very
catchy wit how they spit shit on here! SMH @ PO
editing out “hell”; what tha hell, lol? Not even a “PO Clean Edit” in tha ID,
too. Even though I bash on tha word “swag”, they had a bunch of shit I gotta quote:
“You messin’ wit a Jump Smoker; one false move and this game iz ova!” :tu Then, they quote Jay-Z, lol,
wit “’Big Pimpin’’ like my name was Hova;” how random for a Kim Sozzi song,
lol! Very catchy, although I don’t play this that much, regardless of how
behind I am wit spins. My Current
Rating: 4.0
09.
Ladytron “Ace Of Hz (Tiёsto Remix Radio Edit)”
LOL,
you know a PO’s
good when I see shit like this and my heart starts movin’!! Actually, MCE got this mix (along wit another one);
what, iz MCD scared? Of course, luv tha concept, lyrics, remix beat, and
catchy-ass vocals! Nothin’ but “A”s here! Glad PO
showin’ some luv to Ladytron; been followin’ them since ’04 thanx to MCE!
Because I have gotten tha original before this, I think this iz goin’ to top my
next playlist; I play it quite a lot. Gotta feel dat line: “tha bombs that cannot
be defused by your charge!” :tu Shout out to my college radio station for
pickin’ up tha original and featurin’ that they play it on their website! My Current Rating: 4.6
10.
Sultan & Ned Shepard Feat. Nadia Ali “Call My Name”
MCD
just got this today! They REALLY
added a bunch of good shit this week from “Closer To Love” to “My Story” and a
bunch of songs that are Dance that are NOT hidden in tha “late night” rotation
that’s complete bullshit! Sounded good, so lemme give it a review! >>>
Sounds hot on tha music and tha lyrics are pretty hot wit NA and her hotness!
Tha beginning beat almost builds up like “Seek Bromance”, lol. Usually, this iz
tha CD that defines tha year right; glad there’s a bunch of hot-soundin’ songs
throughout this! Sounded like tha song went by so quick (since tha chorus keeps
goin’ and goin’ throughout tha end). My
Rating: 4.3
½time: I know a good CD when I
hear one; a great one, like dis, when
I hear one!! Wit a 4.3 CD rating, this iz DEFINITELY fulla hot
music!! You know I hope tha
excitement continues!!!
11.
Britney Spears “Hold It Against Me”
Yea,
I thought this would be tha 1st song, too; at least J Lo got tha #1
spot and made my best non-Dance start! I still think it’s sad that this iz tha
fastest song; all borderline songs are becomin’ tha fastest on every CD. Wit
Dubstep, I think I heard some of it, even my brother I think follows it. When
hearin’ tha term, I consider it more MCE
than MCD. My Current Rating: 4.1
12.
Gabry Ponte Feat. Maya Days “Sexy DJ (In Da Club)”
It’s
lookin’ like a low AL
vs. urban feel (wit only 123 BPM)? Tha Maya in tha feature gives me AL, though.
Also note that if this song hits a 4.0 or higher wit my rating, then, it ties
tha 9/10 issue wit most 4.0’s in a row! >>> Tha beat sounds like some
MCE shit; think I’ll catch on to this. Oh, tha chorus sounds like a baby rhyme
or somethin’ but hot wit tha beat/way tha vocals are delivered for some reason.
ROFL, she talkin’ ‘bout an “X-Box,” lol. Funny how this iz after Britney; they
should be played together… on Pop stations only, lol. This seems a lil’ longer;
could’ve been a lil’ short like “Let’s Play” that was on here. Still, it
qualifies for me. It now reminds me of somethin’ I’d hear at Age 13 and be
like, “OMG! I luv that!! Just heard it on tha radio and I’m waiting to tape
it,” lol!! My Rating: 4.1
13.
Tinie Tempah Feat. Eric Turner & Taio Cruz “Written In The Stars (Arcade Eastside Remix Radio Edit)”
When
you said all tha “anti-Rap” shit, I was like, “lol, there’s a full-Rap song on
here?” Then, I thought about it and remembered that this was it. I didn’t think
it was TC on tha chorus; thought it was someone else. When hearin’ tha
original, I originally thought this was one of those typical Rap songs that
sound like songs tryna go Pop and sell out that I would ignore. But, because
it’s TT (catchy-ass dude from “Miami 2 Ibiza”), it gives me AL for a chance. How will this remix do?
Will it be Dance-soundin’? Lemme hear! >>> Not too bad but I don’t think it’s Taio on tha hook; I think PO got too confused. ROFL, sounds like Tinie has a lotta
shit ta offer and this mix sounds good on tha chorus—that’s a saver, and now,
sets a record for most 4.0’s in a row! Now that I hear tha 2nd verse
clearly, it sounds tight! It sounded like Tinie’s voice went US or somethin’
‘cause it doesn’t sound like dat UK voice that I heard a few months
ago, for some reason. On tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse, it now sounds like Taio Cruz. I just
googled tha feature and it’s Eric Turner, whoever that singer iz; that’s
correct! I know most artists these dayz grab random singers to be on their
songs; it’s like tha increase of one-hit-wonders, though, lol. LOL, I dunno
what it iz but when hearin’ Tinie Tempah, I feel like it’s my best friend or
somethin’, lol! My Rating: 4.3
14.
Antoine Clamaran Feat. Soraya “Live Your Dreams”
LOL,
Next Plateau on tha signin’ again! I guess this iz new unlike “Gold” so maybe,
NP knew what they were doin’ on an
early schedule! Some hot vocals here? Then, my AL should be pretty high! >>> Tha
music sounds hot and tha vocals increase my AL here and there! I think this iz tha 1st
original-produced song I’m hearin’ from AC and it’s really soundin’ hot!! Tha
other songs had mixes to them, which didn’t really get me to hear what AC
sounded like. Since MCD luved “Gold”,
they should get this—like, now, since they got a bunch of other songs! My Rating: 4.3
15.
Nicko “Last Summer (Rivaz Club Edit)”
LOL,
I’d add MCD to that list—they PO’d and went
wit this mix, too. Haven’t paid attention to it, so this’ll be tha official
review for it. Rivaz—haven’t heard their name since Da Groove Doctors song from
three years ago, which was tha only time I saw them. >>> It’s off to a
decent start; tha vocals help a lil’ bit. This beat-sound iz, like, tha typical
sound that most Dance producers come wit, which iz gettin’ played out. Tha beat
after tha chorus iz pretty nice. LOL @ all those “Summer” parts. Tha 2nd
verse sounds better here and makes me think good of MCD for pickin’ up another
Dance song. My Rating: 4.2
16.
Chicco Secci “Tarantella (Chico
Secci Hurricane Radio Edit)”
Al
told me this has some Italo in it, mixed wit predictions of tha next
“WNSAmericano”, lol? Then, I have some pretty-nice AL for this, especially wit 2:36 on tha
length!! >>> Interestin’ that we’re gettin’ tha no-word songs back! It
seemed boring without ‘em! LOL, it switched up at 1:11; now, tha music sounds familiar, lol! Good that Ultra signed this,
too; hope people pay attention to it! Sounds real interestin’ wit that sound
before and after tha “Tarantella” sample; just makes you pay attention! My Rating: 4.4
17.
Angelica Salem
“Knockoff (Smash Mode Radio Edit)”
LOL,
MCD got this and I went nuts in different ways, lol! Different soundin’ fa SM
on tha mix; feelin’ tha faster vibe! So many things I gotta say about this
song! LOL @ tha “whateva;” feelin’ dat! Tha attitude iz tight, too! Tha
original version of this song featured rapper Lil’ Kim and when I was tryin’ to
find this RE, I learned about this song. Lil’ Kim has a problem (or vice-versa)
wit this new rapper Nicki Minaj, who I’m not too crazy about. They would fire
wit their own diss-songs at each other but to hear a new artist like this AS to
be tha main artist, it sounds like it took balls or somethin’, lol! Hope
Angelica doesn’t get her ass kicked, lol. I like her “pretendo” part; almost
thought it was Nintendo, lol! My Current
Rating: 4.5
18.
Justin Michael & Kemal Feat. Heather Bright “Trouble”
I
wasn’t really expectin’ them to be “one-Dance-wonders” after that other song
seemed like it was catchin’ onto people. They did some remixes, too, last year,
even though I wasn’t too crazy about them. Hopefully, with a female on tha
vocals, this should sound better! >>> Tha start iz anticipatin’ and
tha beat sounds like deadmau5’s BPMs. Her lyrics have a lil’ bit of a
borderline taste at times and sounds real hot on this! Tha chorus iz pretty
addictive! Damn, this girl’s hot! Hope she doesn’t become a “one-Dance-wonder,”
too! Tha 2nd verse has a hotter borderline taste! :tu My Rating: 4.4
19.
Tiffany Evans “I’ll Be There (WaWa Remix)”
Actually,
tha 1st place she came from was KTU in 2004. She was 12 years-old
and she had such a real great voice
that prolly was one of tha best-soundin’ R&B songs of that time that no one
but KTU played. Too bad when she added a Dance beat in 2007, she somewhat
became a “one-hit-wonder” (“Promise Ring”); wasn’t too crazy about that song.
Even though I didn’t pay too much attention to this new song, I know WaWa
usually does tha job; let’s see! >>> Yea, it’s okay for everything;
even sounds like a remake of a Mariah Carey song (only tha “I’ll be there”
part). Damn, she’s not even 20, yet; she’s been around for quite some time,
now. Because this CD has been givin’ me good vibes, I’ll qualify this for tha
4.0, even though I think this’ll be last in a tie-breaker. Still, I trust tha
last two songs! My Rating: 4.0
20.
Serge Devant Feat. Hadley “Ghost”
Thought
it was Haley on tha vocals but it’s tha same one from “Addicted”, I believe. Let’s
keep tha consistency alive!! >>> Tha beat’s aight but I’m feelin’ tha
lyrics and vocals as tha beat grows, too! Tha song just gets hotter and hotter;
gotta luv it! Even tha length iz pretty good for a longer song; good shit! My Rating: 4.3
21.
One Call “BlackLight (Kovas Remix Radio Edit)”
Had
a high AL for
tha title, mix artist (unknown—I think—to me) and long, 4:40 length. But, Jive
Records? 124 BPM? That’s one of tha biggest record labels (e.g., Britney,
Justin Timberlake, etc.); hope it doesn’t fuck up anything… We’re on tha way
for a 5-star rated PO CD!!! >>> Oh shit, I’m recognizin’ this.
Speakin’ of Justin and them, I remember this bein’ a Pop song wit a Dance beat,
like it was tryna bring back tha ‘90s or somethin’. I would’ve neva pictured
thinkin’ about this song or anything but I neva knew who tha artist was. This
doesn’t sound too Dancey for a beat but it’s still catchy. At least tha chorus
gives a good vibe, here; feelin’ tha energy, lol! LOL, at 3:30, it sounds like
a jack from Swedish House Mafia wit their “One (Your Name)”, lol. This song
kept me a lil’ interested and tha mood I have had wit this CD iz definitely nice! My Rating: 4.0
Overall: LOL, thought it would
neva be done but, it did!! A 5-star-rated PO!!!!!
That’s huge news!!! Even though most
of my scores weren’t in tha shocking level, it still means I luved tha whole
CD! I hope I’ll make a first by playin’ every
song on this CD, too! I think tha April 2008 came tha closest, where I played
either 19 or 20 of 22 songs! LOL, to add: I just walked outside, without a coat
on, and it feels warm out, lol!! Best
believe it goes wit this CD!!!
This
CD didn’t seem too borderline for me, luckily. I think tha strength on tha
Dance songs helped it. I hope we keep tha imports comin’; need to sound more
euro, more Romanian, and hopefully, we can get those fast Trance tracks back,
too! Hopefully, tha Poppy shit fades down, too! They can keep their Dance ways
but not to mix into tha Dance world in a weird way! It seems like MCE or my
college station doesn’t delay wit gettin’ their music. Tinie Temp would’ve been
a lil’ imported (since he’s from tha UK).
