01.
One Direction “What Makes You Beautiful (Dave Audé Radio Edit)”
HM #01. I don’t know tha artist
or song, but it’s a major label on tha signin’… Have no idea what to expect;
will it be a pop-rock song? >>> Sounds like a good start, and I think
tha HM detection iz right; almost sounds like a boy band… Catchy lil’ chorus,
here, too, wit tha tight music, too! Kinda seemed like tha length was a lil’ on
tha longer side, but there’s only two verses, lol… Vocals are almost soundin’
like Chris Brown, too, especially when they say, “That’s what makes you
beautiful.” My Rating: 3.9
02.
Madonna “Girl Gone Wild (Justin Cognito Remix)”
HM #02. Sounds like a good
original version on MCD; will this be better than tha previous single? Iz this
more for tha dance world? >>> Not much goin’ on wit tha remix-music
start, here… Of course, Madonna sounds good, but could’ve been a better remix
than this plainness… ROFL, tha dubstep part at 2:31? Tell me MCD got this version and didn’t list tha mix?
They did that with “Blessed”; now, I’m confused… My Rating: 3.6
03.
Tom Hangs & Shermanology “Blessed (Avicii Edit)”
Finally,
somethin’ a lil’ more exciting… Also, I think there’s a shitload of PO errors wit tha content warning; thought they’d fix it,
but no, it’s all over tha back cover,
smh!! :roll: Also, first PODR song to be on POContemporary Christian
(includin’ this mix/edit)? Saw that when I was seein’ if this was on a PO (forgot it was); seems like a funny trendsetter… This
edit has more vocals than tha YT links I’ve found. Oh wait, lol, no chorus
vocals (MCD’s goes, “Blessed, blessed, blessed, blessed. x4; I’m blessed…”).
Lol, I hear one at 2:01; nice lil’ mix, here, of Avicii music and “Can’t Stop
Me” vocals! Sounds like a Spring anthem; glad there’s some new music in heavy
rotation on MCD, finally!! My Current
Rating: 4.4
04.
Benny Benassi Feat. Gary Go “Control”
Another
dance song, but wit that low BPM, I don’t think I’m gonna be bothered…
>>> Whoa, scary start? Why was my thoughts correct? :confused Not
likin’ this start; hate to even curve it like this, but it has a country feel
to wit tha music… I hate how there’s anticipatin’ build-up background sounds in
this; no need for that when this doesn’t average out! Rather these build-ups be
in “Close To Me” or somethin’. I’m slowly likin’ it a lil’ better, but once
again, prolly should be more pop-acceptable than dance! Will somethin’ like
this go pop? Calvin Harris “Feel So Close” just did… My Rating: 3.4
05.
Jason Derülo “Breathing (Razor N Guido Remix Edit)”
HM #03. Why does JD have tha one and only PO-listed clean song on here?? :?
Gotta quote my boy P.I.R. from Louisiana:
“Turned on Fuse for some hip-hop, and they played Jason Derülo; who tha/what
tha hell iz this?;” lol. >>> Best music start on this CD, so far; too
bad it’s throw-away material, wit this artist… Definitely super tight music, but JD just creates 100% guilty
pleasure for me; guess I gotta get used to it? My Rating: 4.3
06.
Paul Van Dyk Feat. Adam Young “Eternity (Alternative Radio Mix)”
Looks
like a good AL
‘til you see tha typical BPM, mix name, and vocalist. :roll: I was unaware of
tha vocalist ‘til I looked up tha AVB song that was out, recently. When I read
that tha vocalist iz tha singer Owl
City, I wanted to throw
up. Okay, I’ll give props to tha first autism artist appearin’ on PODR, but
those “Fireflies” dayz seemed kinda corny, one-hit-wonder-y, and poppy…
>>> Good combo of music, hence tha mix name, but guilty pleasure wit
these vocals at its finest… Nothin’ wrong wit this, but like Jason Derülo, when
playin’ this in tha car or somethin’, gotta pretend it’s a dance artist on tha
vocals to prevent weirdness! Lol, how many songs got dubstep parts in them,
now? Seems like tha cool addition… It’s like, do pop vocalists like this just
move to dance music when they know they hit it big on tha charts once? Seems
like everyone’s doin’ that, includin’ someone comin’ up next (Cassie)… My Rating: 4.1
07.
Dev & Enrique Iglesias “Naked (MK Radio Edit)”
HM #04. Looks like one of those
ALs, but tha original version gave me no interest; will this long remix help?
>>> Another one of those scary starts… Sounds like Enrique’s
dance-remixed music, here, which ain’t too bad… Good for a duet; okay for a
song, but better wit tha okay music… Still, nothin’ like tha RNG music from tha
JD song… I think they could’ve really minused that gay-soundin’ “hoo-hoo-hoo”
shit. :td My Rating: 3.7
08.
Cassie “King Of Hearts (R3hab Radio Edit)”
HM #05. Another one-hit-wonder,
but wit a much-better sound than tha “Me & U” dayz. MCD betta get this,
especially wit all tha other shit that slides! Plus, tha original version has
an Inna/Play & Win feel to it! Lookin’ forward to hearin’ tha R3hab remix,
but I have a feelin’ tha original gon be better… >>> Well, no Inna
music in tha beginning… Of course, she sounds hot but this ain’t tha kinda song
for quiet music… I know R3hab usually does that, but to take away tha Inna
music? :( Ehh @ tha music; sounds too much like “We Found Love”’s remix. That
was good, but to take away tha Inna music from tha original was kinda a
turn-off for me. My Rating: 3.6
09.
Manufactured Superstars & Jeziel Quintela Feat. Christian Burns “Silver
Splits The Blue (Paul Oakenfold Remix Edit)”
Finally,
looks a lil’ excitin’ on tha ID, and a hot dance label on tha signin’. Unlike
Adam Young, at least this former boy band lead singer (CB from Tiësto’s “In The
Dark”) can kinda slide… >>> Thought tha music would be a lil’ tighter
than typical-soundin’… A lil’ better wit when tha chorus comes in, but this
just sounds like a regular dance song, for me; nothin’ special… My Rating: 3.2
10.
Foster The People “Don’t Stop (Color On The Walls) (Karmatronic Radio Remix)”
HM #06. *With a sarcastic tone* Oh, tha fastest song on this PO!! I think they’re gonna be a one-hit-wonder wit
their previous song, but we’ll see if this iz even worth it… >>> Not
too bad, at first; doesn’t even sound like them, which I know that when artists
sound different (e.g., Alexandra Stan) on their 2nd single, it kinda
means one-hit-wonderness… Chorus sounds a lil’ cool for this, but cheesy, at
tha same time. Thought tha music would be a lil’ better wit tha fast BPM, but
no, it ain’t… My Rating: 3.1
½time: Tha bleh ain’t over, yet,
smh…; 3.7
for tha CD rating, currently…
11.
Neon Hitch “Love U Betta”
HM #07 / Re-Entry #01. *With a confused tone* Where’s my “F U”? Lol… Not only iz this a backwards step wit tha
re-entry, but goin’ from dirty-clean to straight-up clean? And, original
version? A 3x bad combo by PO and so
pointless! I mean, catchy original version, but damn, how much backwards can
you go wit one song, PO? You might fall down
tha stairs, lol! At least they kept those last few seconds, lol! My Current Rating: 4.0
12.
Taio Cruz “Troublemaker (R3hab Edit)”
HM #08 / Re-Entry #02. R3hab, do ya thang… >>> Hearin’ tha
beginning music and it sounds like this recently-added MCD song by Karmin
called “Brokenhearted (R3hab Remix)”; he’s kinda doin’ tha recyclin’ thing wit
tha remixes, which izn’t that cool… WTF, what’s up wit this recycled music
after tha chorus, too?!? Sounds tighter, but damn, I heard “Brokenhearted”’s
remix before this; really should’ve been opposite, lol. My Rating: 3.3
13.
Jump Smokers Feat. Pitbull “Spring Break”
Yawn…;
I throw up more when I see “*Promo Only Clean Edit*”. :roll: >>>
Better music than JS remixes that have been out… A lil’ like nothin’ goin’ on,
here… Okay, hearin’ tha JS rap on tha 1st verse, and I like tha
“sick of haters” part. Though I would criticize a random rapper for bringin’ up
“haters” all tha time, I thought it sounded better-than-usual, here. Pitbull’s
on tha 2nd verse, and I actually thought he did a pretty-good job,
hence that he’s gettin’ boring on all these songs. Overall, even though a lil’
plain and ehh, it’s better than some of tha shit on here. My Rating: 3.7
14.
Kathy Phillips Feat. Danitto “Now That We Found Love (Caliente Radio Edit)”
*Shocked
tone* What? A dance artist? What, a dance label?! After all that HM mess?
Hopefully we can finally have
somethin’ valuable, here!!! >>> Damn, it iz a remake! I didn’t wanna call it, but it iz. Lol, hearin’ some
rappin’ outta nowhere! It’s okay, but I can’t recall if all tha lyrics are a
cover, or if they’re new; I think they’re a cover, too. By tha way, tha
original rapper artist, Heavy D, died of a heart attack last Fall; R.I.P.!
“Now” that I hear tha 2nd verse, tha rap lyrics are a cover, too.
Props on tha music, especially durin’ tha chorus; interestin’ direction for KP,
but DvD? I dunno ‘bout dat… Even though I’m disgusted wit this CD and this iz
DvD, I’ll give this props and say that it’s better than most of tha shit on
here. My Rating: 4.0
15.
Rye Rye
“Boom Boom (Kat Krazy Remix)”
HM #09. Damn @ tha “*Promo Only
Clean*” again… Lol, neva would’ve guessed, but it’s three in a row for rappin’,
lol! >>> OMG, not another cover of a dance song; at least it’s just
tha chorus… Remake of tha Vengaboys song, “Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!!”… Rappin’
here iz okay, but nothin’ too special, includin’ tha music. Everything sounded
better wit tha KK remix of that Rye Rye/Robyn song from tha 8/11 CD… Damn,
fartin’? Oh, a near-dubstep sound toward tha bridge… Oh, I hear it now, lol.
Either way, could’ve been a lot better, but tha remake shit made me not go for
this… My Rating: 2.5
16.
Groove State “Feels So Good (Smash Mode Radio Mix)”
Lemme
say what I had to say about KP’s AL…
“What? A dance artist? What, a dance label?!” Let’s see if this comes true,
since I have AL for these peeps appearin’ on PO! >>> Glad they’re back, after about 3 years!
Then again, without iPR, they seemed like they’ve been gone. I love how PO will throw such shit on here, but then, a dance artist
that’s been around for a few years appears on here, for tha first time. Nothin’
negative ta say, here; thumbs up for SM remixin’, and this soundin’ pretty
good. Ooh, even hotter music after tha chorus; now we’re talkin’ wit some quality music on here!! Wow, tha 2nd
verse sounds much better than 1st
verse!! Not too bad wit tha rest of this, but tha peak of tha song went away… My Rating: 4.2
17.
Karmin “Brokenhearted (R3hab Remix Edit)”
HM #10. Oh no, here we are wit
this song; more like a compound word on tha title… Like I said before, wit Taio
Cruz, ehh… When MCD got it, I actually was a lil’ excited; I was like, “Wow, a
new artist; somethin’ different that’s not Adele or somethin’ old still
playin’?” Then, what made me notice it wasn’t a dance artist was tha pics added
to MCD. Then, I think I heard it come on a pop station up here? Okay for a HM,
but more on tha boring side for me… My
Current Rating: 3.4
18.
Jason Nevins Feat. Greg Nice “Candyman (The Revenge)”
ROFL?
I know GN iz a rapper, but here we go wit dance world meets rap world; funny
how these random rappers, that would appear here and there, throw themselves
into tha dance world. >>> Big turn-off wit tha music start! Tha same
music from The Mac Project/Therese “Another Love”; what a rip-off!! Even though
these lyrics ain’t that for me, I think they’re kinda funny, here. It’s like,
what’d they thought “Another Love” wasn’t a big song? Uh, that got out there on
sources and in heavy rotation on MCD; what’s this gonna do? Wow, referencin’
“GaGa,” lol? I wanna say, “Not too bad,” but I had more negative thoughts,
especially wit tha sampled music! My
Rating: 2.9
19.
Dada Life “Kick Out The Epic Motherfucker”
LOL,
a hot one right here!!! Surprised MCD got this, and iz playin’ it throughout
tha day!! More of an MCE artist, but this looks like a breakthrough song for
DL, especially since it’s signed wit an indie/major label. Liked tha dirty
version, but it was too long, so this radio edit’ll do! Really likin’ tha
“emergency” lyrics, mixed wit some party lyrics—lol, a DL song just came on MCE
in tha background, lol! That chorus iz kinda funny and random; it must speak to
tha pretty-tight beats goin’ on, here… Tha club mix has two choruses together;
glad this has three, and it flows through nicely! My Current Rating: 4.4
20.
DJ Denis Feat. Juan Magan, Lil’ Jon & Baby Bash “Shuri Shuri (Let’s Go
Loco) (Jump Smokers Radio Edit)”
HM #11 / Re-Entry #03. Different DJ? Oh, they took out his last name… Either
way, kinda startin’ to hate on this, now that it’s playin’ on MCD a lot… This
iz a better version than that other mix that was on 1/12’s edition. Of course,
Lil’ Jon’s random ass iz on here; I felt like he stole my music tastes!! Also,
Baby Bash randomly appearin’ on tha 2nd verse. He keeps havin’ hits
in different years, but can never have two in one, lol. LOL, Lil’ Jon; oh, oh,
oh… My Current Rating: 3.0 (like it better than tha other PO version, but because of its playin’ too muchness and
me gettin’ bored of it, this rating’s lower)
21.
Meital “Yummy (Rami Afuni Radio Mix)”
HM #12 / Re-Entry #04. Another CD endin’ wit this song, ROFL? Took six
months; tha other mix did a lot of progress wit me since I got it on tha 11/11
CD. Matta fact, it retired on my top
10 countdown a month ago; that’s how long
ago PO had this song, lol! They even took tha
“Boyz” outta tha title, lol. Also, on tha back cover, they took out BPM, next
to where it says, 128, rofl? Well, I still enjoy this song, so we’ll see how
another version does… >>> Sounds more like an anthem beat, here.
Startin’ wit tha 2nd verse, lol? Pretty cool mix, but tha Danny
Verde mix from 11/11’s better. Still, this sets a different mood; more like for
tha clubs, here. Damn, tha 2nd verse again! Should’ve had tha 1st
verse appear! Finally, a real chorus @ 2:46; took too long! I don’t like how
there were a bunch of parts minused, includin’ tha intro to tha other mix:
“These boys are hot and horny,” lol. My
Rating: 3.7
Overall: Damn @ this PO! Nothin’ excitin’ came outta this, at all! I already
knew “Blessed” & “KOTEMFucker” (lol), which were tied as my top-rated
songs; they also tie tha 6/09 PO for lowest
top rating of a CD (4.4). :( I have to admit rushing to check tha tracklisting
out. Usually, I scroll from left to right (on tha print friendly details)
slowly, but I did it so fast, and look what it resulted in. :( Guess that goes
good wit losing things and having an iPod break? :?
