01.
Nicole Scherzinger “Don’t Hold Your Breath (Kaskade Radio Edit)”
Startin’
it off wit a Pussycat Doll… Not too familiar wit this song so let’s see what’s
up. >>> Wasn’t anticipatin’ this too much, includin’ some of tha
beginning wit tha chorus, but I’m hearin’ a pretty-good-soundin’ Kaskade beat,
now. Not too bad, overall, although, it has a pretty-nice mix from Kaskade. My Rating: 3.6
02.
Jessica Sutta “Show Me (Dave Audé Radio Edit)”
LOL,
anotha Pussycat Doll, back to back? She’s more in tha Dance world, thanx to her
“White Lies” collaboration four years ago. Just decent for tha Alex
Gaudino/Jason Rooney mix on MCD, so let’s see how DA’ll sound. >>> She
sounds completely different wit tha voice from “White Lies”; I prolly do, too,
thanx to so much happenin’ in four years. As far as this mix, it’s soundin’
better; not bad of a song, overall. Thought this would be a better song and
more of an anthem, but it’s only decent, for me. My Rating: 3.7
03.
Armin Van Buuren Feat. Nadia Ali “Feels So Good”
From
two PCDs to two big dance artists; definitely lookin’ forward to hearin’
this one!! >>> Hot start wit okay music, although it’s all about tha
voice, right now! Kinda expect a lil’ better wit tha music but this iz easily a
turn-on, regardless. Not too bad wit tha chorus, but there should be a lil’
more excitement goin’ on, here… Picks up a lil’ at 2:07, at least… My Rating: 4.1
04.
Nervo Feat. Afrojack & Steve Aoki “We’re All No One”
After
tha mix of “Dust In Gravity”, let’s see what he has to offer. >>>
Quick/plain beat start and some vocals that sound like a young Nadia Ali, a
lil’ (lol @ all tha doubles)! Sounds cool once tha chorus comes on; givin’ this
one a plus… Definitely some fresh, new music, here! Really into these vocals
and lyrics, at tha moment! My Rating: 4.2
05.
Leona Lewis “Collide (Alex Gaudino & Jason Rooney Radio Edit)”
Been
a minute since she had a song/remix; let’s see how Fall 2011 looks for her…
>>> Feelin’ tha remix beat start, of course. Ooh, she sounds a lil’
grown-up, too! LOL, I read online that she’s done wit ballads, and might have a
lil’ dubstep in her music, lol? Can’t picture it ‘cause she always has slow
songs. But yea, once tha chorus comes on, it sounds top notch, between tha
beat, vocals, and lyrics!! :tu Good length, too, as it’s good enough for all
tha hotness to stay hot! My Rating: 4.3
06.
Neon Hitch “Bad Dog (DJ Chuckie Radio Edit)”
Looks
like another HM wit tha label (Reprise); odd, fluctuatin’ AL wit this one. >>> Ooh,
semi-young, interestin’ female vocals, here; looks like some increasin’ AL for me. Feelin’ tha
dirty “animal”-type lyrics, lol; interestin’ song, overall. LOL, sounds like
lasers bein’ fired at you @ 1:08! Feelin’ like a long song, I’m likin’ tha
bridge at 2:58 wit tha “poison you” shit; lots of interestin’ stayin’ alive,
here! My Rating: 4.4
07.
JLS Feat. Dev “She Makes Me Wanna (Nay Ray Radio Edit)”
Fuck
puttin’ all tha “clean” in tha ID… Speakin’ of Dev, I’ll get to her later when
I bash on tha Pitbull song. Looks like it gon be a HM anthem? Lemme hear…
>>> Damn, another Calvin Harris “I’m Not Alone” sample in tha
beginning? This must be tha 4th song wit that sample… Not really
feelin’ these 2010s-type male vocals, although, I kinda fall for tha “I’m Not
Alone” sample. Tha chorus sounds a lil’ like Swedish House Mafia, in a
somewhat-tight way; this might turn out to be a positive review, overall. Damn,
I can’t stop fallin’ for that beat! LOL, tha beat went all quiet once Dev
jumped onto tha song… My Rating: 4.3
08.
Maroon 5 Feat. Christina Aguilera “Moves Like Jagger (Soul Seekerz Radio Edit)”
Wow,
another HM! Only two actual dance
songs outta eight, so far! But, even this original version’s tryna sound like a
dance song! Tha orig’s in heavy rotation up here, in PA, and when it’s on in my
mom’s car, it sounds like a dance floor, lol. I’m feelin’ tha original, so you know a remix from SS gon be nice!
>>> Different dance sound from tha original, here; likin’ tha
different style! Could’ve had a lil’ better music wit tha chorus, but this iz
still great for a remix! Interestin’ collaboration and somewhat-funny song wit
that title, for me, lol. My Rating: 4.0
09.
Kaskade Feat. Mindy Gledhill “Eyes”
MCD
just got and it sounds pretty good, from what I heard. Lemme give it an actual
listen and review now. >>> Of course, feelin’ these really
good/soothin’ vocals… Sounds like a lot of slowly, buildin’-up music once tha
chorus iz in progress, which sounds good… and here we are, at 1:53! Really
likin’ that music and all this continuousness goin’ on! I think this deserves a
high rating ‘cause of tha hotness! My
Rating: 4.5
10.
Skylar Grey “Invisible (Kaskade Radio Edit)”
LOL,
another Kaskade, but damn, my current single’s title! My “Invisible”’s about
how people don’t acknowledge me, mainly in person, which I feel that I earned
my “invisibility” from someone introducing a new girl to tha room, which tha
person said everyone’s name but mine. Ugh, anger! :td How “invisible” will this
HM hit-maker (lol, double HM) feel? >>> For somethin’ long, it seems
like I’m gonna anticipate it wit this Kaskade beat! Wow, startin’ off wit takin’ “pillz,” lol! Jiggalatin’ (pill
poppin’) her way through “invisible” feelings! Thought tha 1st song
on this edition was aight. Then, “Eyes”, with its hot, dance feel! Now, tha hotness of a feel for a HM; good job,
Kaskade! Even though she’s a HM lady (featured on P. Diddy’s group, Diddy –
Dirty Money from tha April ’11 CD and Dr. Dre & Eminem’s song from earlier
in tha year), she sounds like she has a dance voice, here! Really feelin’ tha
beat sounds throughout tha verses; hope it gets some exposure in both tha dance
and pop world! I can really “feel”
tha lyrics, here, as I say, “why am I invisible? … Why am I treated invisible?”
She sounds soft, here, but I’m all about that anger, wit how people could just pass me up! My Rating: 4.3
½time: 3/10 songs were dance,
but this iz a pretty hot CD, so far! A 4.1 for tha CD rating, and no wack songs!
11.
The Wanted “Glad You Came (Alex Gaudino Radio Edit)”
Time
flies to think that there’s a new single from these guys, already. >>>
Sounds pretty hot, of course, thanx to AG on tha mix! Not too bad on tha 1st
verse, although, it prolly would’ve sounded better if it was just a house mix. My Rating: 4.2
12.
D’Manti Feat. Mr. Phillips “Tonight (Smash Mode Radio Edit)”
Unknown
label, finally! Think we friggin’ have another dance song, lol? >>>
LOL, sounded like some scary Jamaican vocals in tha beginning but ooh, I hear a
hot gurl on tha verse! :) Unique-soundin’ combination of vocals and SM beats,
here! Sounds like a song that would do pretty damn good wit me. LOL, kinda
remindin’ me of tha instant “Lick Shot” vocals (Sunrise Inc./Starchild) wit
that Jamaican dude, which sounds like an interestin’ combo! Even a lil’ extra
rap from tha Jamaican dude, too; not too bad. If this gets out there, this
could be tha next, new Dance/Euro or Pop-soundin’ artist to get out there! My Rating: 4.4
13.
Sted-E & Hybrid
Heights Feat. D.O.S.E.
“Up N Down”
Their
own song? Mysterious feeling… >>> Now, there’s no low AL wit tha Sylvia Tosun
mix or tha Ron Reeser/Dan Saenz mix; it’s their own song wit a nice intro! LOL,
how random: rappin’ outta nowhere! It’s actually much better than tha wack
dance/rap shit that was on tha previous PO!
Not too bad for a beat; at least
there’s some hot sounds, here. Thought there would only be one verse but
there’s a second one; not too bad… LOL, not even a content warning; that’s
unusual for raps on PODR. My Rating: 4.2
14.
William Naraine “If I Could Fall (Vincenzo Callea Radio Edit)”
A
lil’ bit of Flanders on tha mix, here; could
be tha next Flanders-soundin’ song? Lemme see what this gon be like.
>>> Had to be prepared for tha vocals, at least; not too bad, although, they sound like Sir
Ivan (who you usually think iz Disney or garbage, lol). But, I can easily
tolerate this; hot combo for tha chorus wit tha music and how tha vocals sound!
Tha music after tha chorus ain’t too bad, either; good, catchiness… Startin’ ta
feel tha breakdown music a lil’ more
after tha 2nd chorus; whoo! My
Rating: 4.2
15.
Katy Perry “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) (8Barz Remix Edit)”
What
a way to go downhill… I thought tha dance was startin’ ta pick up! I’m sayin’
this wit annoyance ‘cause I’ve had tha Almighty mixshow mix—that MCD has been
playin’ a lot—since May; it took this long for a RE to come out? A different
mix, too? >>> Damn, I hear tha original beats. :( Oh, now, it turned
into some typical, deadmau5/Morgan Page-type music on tha verse, a lil’…; yea,
like this music really fits for this song! Shitty mix, especially when I’m
hearin’ tha original version’s beats, here and there. Another way of sayin’,
“Summer’s over,” smh! LOL, no content warning, here, too; I know PO
nails those “damn”s pretty good, smh. This mix should just stay in tha
mixshows… My Rating: 2.9
16.
Swedish House Mafia Feat. John Martin “Save The World (Smash Mode Remix Radio)”
This,
too. LOL, I was in some deli wit my grandma, and whatever station they had on
played tha original version of this song (which iz dance-y), lol. I think I
tried to IC it by hearin’ this mix on YT, but don’t think it was any better;
lemme see if my thoughts are correct. >>> Actually, tha beat’s pretty
hot but not really SM for me, nor does it fit wit tha song, itself, kinda…
Mainly, tha beat ‘round 1:22; what tha hell iz that, lol? I guess this iz
acceptable for a remix, although it seems kinda old and played-out of an
original version to be on here, September style. My Rating: 3.2
17.
Dave Audé Feat. Elijah “Holdin’ On (Alex Armes Radio Mix)”
A
year later, back in tha #17 spot, lol (since September ’10 had “Figure It Out”
in their #17 slot)! Forgot DA was on here as tha lead artist; lookin’ forward
ta hearin’! >>> Long intro goin’ on, here; thumbs up, so far… Damn, a
whole minute, lol! Thought it would be house, or just one line, but I’m hearin’
a verse, and it sounds like some catchy vocals, plus beat. Gettin’ pretty hot
wit tha chorus, here; likin’ tha music a whole
lot, and these vocals help tha catchiness increase! Yes, tha kick-ass music
continues! Wit DA bein’ tha main artist, I was wonderin’ how someone else bein’
on tha mix would do, and it’s pretty damn good!! My Rating: 4.5
18.
Pitbull Feat. Marc Anthony “Rain Over Me”
VH1’s
40 Funniest Fails; ironic that it was
just on a few hours ago. I remember 10 years ago, when Marc Anthony would put a
song out on KTU, and it was in tha top ½ of my countdown for a while. Now, tha
hotness has tha same quality, although it doesn’t fit too good, here,
especially in my 23-years-old-thinkin’ standards. I feel like this iz a lil’ cheesy
wit tha combos (hot beat, catchy lyrics (I like all tha “___’s tha new ___”),
but Pitbull appearin’ in tha dance world… again, and MA on tha feature?).
Doesn’t really belong on here, and as I was sayin’ about Dev before, PO should’ve put her latest song, “In The Dark”, on here,
instead; much hotter, wit a “Smoke”
feel! My Current Rating: 3.4
19.
Rev-Players Feat. Sophia Cruz “Tell Me”
‘Bout
time another R-P song made PO! Back to tha doubles, since Stefanie “You Never Said
You Loved Me (Rev-Players…)” was #19 on tha August ’08 issue, too, lol! Same
BPM (134) but wit a kick-ass chick on tha feature (hottie from previous POs,
most recently, that “Always Changing” from 6/11’s)! Tha moment I’ve been waiting
for, so let’s see how hot, hot, hot, hot,
hot this iz, no less as R-P as tha main artist!!!!! >>> Feelin’
tha hot beat, of course, wit that tech-house style from tha Stefanie song,
still! SC sounds a touch different (almost like Sophia May) wit tha voice; hot combo! Yes, tha beat continues after tha
chorus! Ooh, added beats wit added vocals from SC, too! Tha beat has some good,
kick-ass addictiveness! LOL, some cheerin’ in tha mist, too; pretty hot! Sorry,
Kaskade, I thought you were gonna have tha top spot, but I knew this song was comin’! My
Rating: 4.7
20.
Above & Beyond Feat. Richard Bedford “Thing Called Love”
Finally
gettin’ tired of “S&M” (lol, not Rihanna; “Sun & Moon”); good “thing”
they put out a new song! Keepin’ tha BPM tha same (double, again, as tha previous
song on this CD, and “Sun & Moon”
were both 134, lol), let’s see what tha “raining” and “pouring” gon lead to!
>>> Good start; shouldn’t MCD be on this like crazy, already, lol?
Whoo @ :30! Wonder if he was tha same singer for “Alone Tonight” back in’ 06 (EDIT: Yup, he iz)? Very hot chorus; think this iz better than “Sun & Moon”!
Consistency at its finest, continuin’ all tha way through!! My Rating: 4.6
21.
Miss AP Feat. Tony Hanson “Fenix” “Gotta Go Out (Friscia & Lamboy Radio
Edit)”
Looks
like a Crystal Waters label (Endorfin) for tha ending song! I like that there’s
a unique spelling of “phoenix” in tha featured artist’s name; I’m all about
that elemental/mythical-type shit, since I like RPGs (role-playing games), lol!
>>> Wow, this sounds like tha Rev-Players song! … Oh wait, WTF? PO disc error: They put tha Rev-Players song as #21, too?
Wow, lol! If it was any other song, I would’ve been like, “WTF?,” but
Rev-Players twice iz hilarious; should’ve fucked up “Rain On Me”, instead, smh!
Guess I’ll have to wait ‘til I get it. Or, lemme see if it’s online. *Checks*
Damn, only iTunes; should I purposely buy it for $1.00? >>> Actually,
tha sample’s 1:30 instead of :30. Oh, you’re not gonna like this wit all tha
“shit” parts. Ooh, there’s a pretty hot beat goin’ on, here; feelin’ what’s
goin’ on wit tha beats from F&L! This iz a plus for me, but nothin’ special
for you, I’d assume. Seems like people are givin’ this AP (main artist)
negative reviews on iTunes, like wit Kim Kardashian’s music, lol. Even though
it was just a snippet, I’ll try to do a rating. My Rating: 4.3
EDIT: Just looked up more info
on tha artist on Google and it’s Angelina Pivarnick from MTV’s Jersey Shore, lol; wonder how tha hook
up wit tha Crystal Waters label came about, lol? LOL, and all tha mixes but
this PO one’s uploaded on Lucas Prata’s
YouTube? What’s wit all this randomness, lol; hilarious!
Overall: I thought this was an
interestin’ and hot CD! Even though tha beginning was all fulla HMs, it still
turned out ta be pretty tight, especially when tha dance songs kicked in!!
Looks like a good Fall ‘bout ta come, although I’m not too pleased wit my
classes: three hours, too much talking, and lots of reading? I thought I was in
graduate classes dealin’ wit production, smh?
