01.
Chris Willis “Too Much In Love (Valentin Radio Edit)”
Looks
like a good mix start, although my AL
iz low. MCD got WaWa’s mix, which I’m startin’ to think WaWa’s startin’ to be a
hit-or-miss mixer, when they previously were one of my favorite, thanx to
“Heartbroken”… >>> Sounds like a weird version of Valentin in tha
beginning…? What tha hell; iz this like Jimi Hendrix or Led Zeppelin or
somethin’ wit tha beat? Don’t need any feedback, here, although it might make
ignore rotation for me, where I might play it once or twice. My Rating: 2.6
02.
Kim Leoni “Around & Around”
More
like this! A lil’ on tha dirty side? Lemme see, wit some sky-high AL!! >>> Almost
sounds like pop in tha beginning, but it’s not turnin’ me off like Chris
Willis’s song/mix! At least this has tha true dance in its sound during tha
chorus; pretty catchy, Ms. Kim! Sounds like tha same producers from
“Again”/”Medicine”? Didn’t catch tha content warning; guess I was too excited
to hear this, lol? Pretty-good job… My
Rating: 4.3
03.
Calvin Harris “Feel So Close”
For
some reason, I’m lookin’ forward… I guess it’s tha 33-second intro?
>>> Thirty-three seconds my ass? PO
doesn’t usually do this; zero-second intro! Not really into tha scary vocal
start but at least there’s a dance beat! I liked “I’m Not Alone”’s scaryness
but not too much into it, here; at least tha beat gives me some points… My Rating: 3.7
04.
Jennifer Lopez “Papi (R3hab Radio Edit)”
Likin’
tha Mixin’ Marc & Tony Svejda mix on MCD. Only a few dayz out, some rapper
I talk to in Baton Rouge, Louisiana called me and this song was in tha
background of theirs, lol? Guess it’s out there, even though only MCD has it?
Funny…; lookin’ forward to hearin’ a R3hab mix on PO!
>>> Nice beat goin’ on, here, for HM. Plus one for WG “’Til Death”
remix; plus two for CH/Kelis “Bounce” remix! Wasn’t sure what was gonna happen
once tha beat got quiet but it’s tha typical increase of tha beat for R3hab
goin’ on, here, in tha chorus! Nice/interestin’ breakdown after tha chorus;
good job, R3hab! Think this remix surpasses MM&TS’s for me! My Rating: 4.3
05.
Bingo Players “Cry (Just A Little)”
Liked
their “Touch Me” lil’ House song wit Chocolate Puma three years ago, even
though I had it in ignored rotation. Just by lookin’ at tha title, tell me this
iz a remake of Faith Hill’s song, lol? I will LMFAO, just like tha “Party Rock
Anthem” on MCD right now, lol!! >>> Doesn’t sound like it but it
sounds like a remake of somethin’ else, which I’m feelin’ tha start; hope it
progresses! Nice, repetitive House music goin’ on, here; good for Fall and tha
end of 2011! At least you get some good music parts, here and there. My Rating: 4.2
06.
David Guetta Feat. Usher “Without You”
More
like FML (fuck my life)! My Rating: 1.5
07.
Anjulie “Brand New Chick”
You
know it’s danger when tha mix iz “Clean Radio Edit”, smh. I guess she’s goin’
from sweet, unknown pop singer to tryna-have-an-original-dance-soundin’-song
singer? Tha next Livvi Franc “NITB”? >>> Liked tha d5 lil’ start in
tha beginning; she sounds a lil’ grown from tha ’09 dayz when I first heard
her… I like tha sexy lyrics, here and there, lol. Likin’ tha beat goin’ on in
tha chorus; don’t think pop stations’ll play this, though. It doesn’t sound
like a crossover song for her but I know MCD likes her; watch them get this
original version soon, lol. My Rating: 3.9
08.
Medina “Gutter”
On
tha slower side? Must be one of those GaGa/Ke$ha-soundin’ songs, since it has
120 BPM? You know I’m lookin’ forward! Hope I get addicted, lol! >>> Sounds like space in tha beginning,
lol! LOL, even though it sounds like a slower version of “Addiction”, it at
least has that pure dance sound! Interestin’ content, as well as tha good beat,
too, Medina!
LOL, even tha 2nd chorus has a build up in tha beat, just like
“Addiction” had! Kinda slow, but I know it’ll grow, just like “Addiction” did
for me. My Rating: 4.1
09.
Adele “Someone Like You (Mike Rizzo Radio Mix)”
L…………o……………l………….;
I think KTU got it, since I heard tha dance sounds in their mix. >>>
Even though MR’s on tha mix, I dunno how much I like this ballad from her.
Thumbs up for tha true Rizzo sound on tha chorus, although it’s only decent for
me, overall. I still can’t figure out how “RITD” blew up and iz still playin’ frequently, nine months
later, lol? My Rating: 3.5
10.
September “Party In My Head”
LOL,
Robbins wit another content warning song from another artist that doesn’t bring explicit lyrics, lol?
Funny, yet anticipatin’, lol! >>> Could be tha best one on here, so
far? Of course, she comes through wit that pure dance sound, as always! It’s
like an on tha street/in tha club representation, which I’m likin’. LOL, for
tha past 11 years, I’ve had a “party in my head,” as music plays in my head
24/7, unless I’m listening to music, lol! Didn’t catch tha content warning,
again; PO, what’s up, lol? My Rating: 4.4
½time: Even though DG &
Usher dropped my average rating, I think this iz a pretty good/decent CD, so
far. Haven’t hit tha 2nd ½, yet, but tha CD rating for me iz a 3.7,
currently.
11.
Lady GaGa “Yoü And I (Mark Taylor Remix)”
Not
really big about this one; will a remix help? >>> Guess not; sounds
poppy? Think KTU got this mix, too? What tha hell; does this sound like a
country song, lol? That’s what it reminds me of… PO,
at least get a known dance remixer for GaGa! I don’t think there’s any
really-known remixers for this song, yet, RE wise. My Rating: 2.8
12.
Anita Prime “Complicated (Gomi Radio Remix)”
A
new female and new label, wit a remixer that’s, like, never here… I only know
tha remixer from Rent’s “Seasons Of Love” (February ’06 PO)
and maybe somethin’ else. But, how will this go, ’11 style? >>> So
far, decent start; not sure what to make outta it… Ooh, she’s spellin’ tha
title out; sounds good. Could sound like a HM song that wants to break into tha
dance world; that’s what I’ll consider it as. Ooh, more spellin’ of tha title,
lol; guess I can’t avoid hearin’ tha title, lol? Not even ½ way in and I feel
like I’m gonna get bored fast… My
Rating: 3.6
13.
Lil’ Wayne “How
To Love (Smash Mode Radio Edit)”
Even
though tha original iz completely gross for me to handle, will a 133 BPM mix by
SM help? >>> Not too bad for
tha remix beat, but because Wayne
lovessssssssssss using that gay-ass
soundin’ Auto-Tune, it makes his voice so fucked up, to where I wanna throw up!
I “love” how people online say things like, “it’s cool that Wayne’s doin’ a different-soundin’ song.” For
me, I think it’s so gross. At least “Lollipop” had good times, but this iz too
poppy/slimy… that’s right: slimy,
lol! Damn, this went quick. Overall, still not for me; don’t even think I’ll ever
play or might barely make it to ignored rotation. My Rating: 2.3
14.
Chuckie Feat. Gregor Salto “What Happens In Vegas”
DJ
Chuckie? Iz it…? Teamin’ up wit tha “Step By Step” featured DJ? Tha #1 dance
label of tha year signin’ it (Big Beat) so it has to get out there, no matter what
it sounds like! >>> Sounds like it could be scary dance music, based
off tha beginning, lol. LOL, cliché title but now, it’s soundin’ more on a
tight level. Maybe this iz DJ Chuckie ‘cause of tha sounds? I know I thought
“Let The Bass Kick” was cheesy but it’s these newer-soundin’ songs that are
catchin’ my attention. Sounds like a tight House song wit tha consistent beat;
yes, get out there! Big Beat, you promoted tha shit outta “Diamonds In The Sky”
on MCD for me; I’m sure you can do good wit this one! LOL, I feel like I don’t
want this song to end; nice consistency to tha end! My Rating: 4.5
15.
Jason Derülo “It Girl (Riddler Remix Radio)”
A
‘yawn’ artist for me. I feel like some artists are kinda done after tha first
album. After stealin’ Robin S’s “Show Me Love” beat for his previous song
(“Don’t Wanna Go Home”, which was decent, but of course, I ignored), how will
he do wit this “it” song, lol? >>> Likin’ tha beginning beat start;
slow Riddler beat but at least it’s a hot remixer on tha mix! Yea, not feelin’
tha random popness from JD, here; sped-up vocals on a slow remix beat, lol?
Weird combo. So not feelin’ this
content and how it’s delivered; what ever happened to a catchy pop song, smh? My Rating: 2.5
16.
Adrian Lux Feat. Rebecca & Fiona “Boy”
Actually,
AL came up wit “Teenage Crime” before Weekend
Warriors had tha song/mix on tha March ’11 PO,
which I thought was interestin’. Tha “Mirrors” mix was pretty good so let’s see
how a brand-new (I think) song will turn out! >>> Decent beat that
sounds like it could be consistent, mixed wit some interestin’ vocals goin’ on!
LOL, did I hear a horn before tha chorus? Tha horn sounds exactly like one of
tha typical beat tags for Sean Kingston, Iyaz, and of course, Jason Derulo,
lol; interestin’ jackin’, lol! But, tha chorus iz pretty hot wit tha
better-soundin’ beat and those vocals continuin’! Likin’ tha “ice” and
“courage” part; sounds like a dance song that shouldn’t get ignored. My Rating: 4.1
17.
The Script “Nothing (Riddler Radio Edit)”
Tha
fastest one on this PO, even though it had to be a pop artist… If tha JD remix
beat was hot, I hope this iz for 134! >>> Anotha hot beat but I hope
tha song’s good for me… Sounds like an okay song but because this artist was so
big on pop stations wit “Breakeven” and even on adult-contemp stations, I don’t
think I should take this song so serious… My
Rating: 3.0
18.
Vato Gonzalez Feat. Foreign Beggars “Badman Riddim (Jump)”
Dancehall/Reggae
title, lol? Ministry Of Sound signin’? Looks like we got a funny combo…
>>> LOL, sounds like Dancehall tryin’ to break into tha Dance world.
LOL, thought it was gonna be House but it’s on a rap tip, which sounds good on
this beat. This iz better than tha sucky shit from tha August CD. I know MCD might
go crazy over this, lol; I know how
they get, lol! I like how tha rappers are alternatin’ between tha ½ verses;
good, consistent rhymin’ wit this tight beat for tha dancehall world, lol! My Rating: 4.0
19.
Stellar Project Feat. Emelie Norenberg “Strong”
Looks
like a really high AL!
Hope they didn’t go tha 2010s dance route and keep that great sound like in “Get Up Stand Up”! Definitely lookin’ forward to hearin’!!! >>> Likin’ this
new sound in tha beat; AL
iz up and alive! Feelin’ these vocals, too! Glad SP have tha name “stellar” in
their name; seems ta prove what they’re about! Ooh, hot chorus; feelin’ tha
“strong” approach! Feelin’ tha bridge wit those hot vocals!! :tu Whoo!
Glad it’s called “strong” ‘cause it was “strong” enough to take tha lead, so
far! My Rating: 4.6
20.
Foster The People “Pumped Up Kicks (Gigamesh Mix)”
This
has to be tha #1 artist on my college station and now, one of tha biggest songs
on pop radio. I went through my college’s log of songs (‘cause there was an
uncensored song on there) and I saw this artist almost everyday, at tha
beginning of tha day’s log. MCE has this mix and I didn’t think I’d see it on PO; I think it sounds good to be on here! I feel that
this sounds like a classic-soundin’ pop song, although I have a feelin’ they’ll
be a one-hit-wonder ‘cause this song took off outta nowhere. My Current Rating: 4.2
21.
John Dahlback Feat. Erik Hassle “One Last Ride”
Don’t
know what to expect wit this one, but Big Beat signed it! Looks like it could
be a great ending song? >>> Sounds like some unknown, R&B vocals
in tha beginning? I dunno how great I’ll take this IC. Tha beat gets good at
1:11 but it doesn’t sound like it would have any life… Hope somebody picks up
tha “Vegas” song (#14) before this or else I’ll prolly get mad, lol! My Rating: 3.7
Overall: Ehh, I dunno… I didn’t
think this was tha best of a PO; way too many
HMs that mostly sucked…
