Haiz...do u realise songs nowadays is very difficult to like?
What I mean is, it takes really long to like a song.
Looking at my playlist, I can give you a few examples actually.
1. Paranoid by Jonas Brothers
I can tell you, a lot of ppl will super disagree about this. But I kinda like their new sound. They're like trying to sound a little R&B, which is pretty cool, and especially different from the bubblegum pop they're known for in their 'boyband days'. There's even a guitar solo in the song which I love darn lots! C'mon Kevin! ;) (hahax I prefer Kevin out of the 3 lookalikes xD). I just heard Kevin recently got married. Hahax he's the oldest in the family. So It's ok lar. Wahaha!!!
Unfortunately, if you have listened 2 the entire album, only this song sounds R&B! xD The others (except Fly With Me) sounds very sub-standard~~~ :S
Still, I prefer them with their bubblegum pop. It produces more hits for them. (But one or two songs like Paranoid is nice too ;) )
2. Knock You Down by Keri Hilson feat. Kanye West and Ne-Yo
Star-studded cast, nonetheless. But you wouldn't believe how long it took me to wanna take this song into my playlist. (You've no idea, quoted from sum1 :P) But it's a nice collabo...the chorus is pretty nice, and Ne-Yo's soulful voice. Other than dat, I duno wad 2 say liaox :P
3. Boom Boom Pow by Black Eyed Peas
A freaking hot band nowadays. It sounds totally different form their previous album, which I have. To me, they sound better. :D
It's more dance track this time round. But it took constant constant listening, and a lot of pressure from fwenz :P, to like this song. But after that, this song sounds awesome, man! :D :D :D
You know, it actually took me that long, that the song has stayed on 987fm's playlist, went into top 20 987FM chart, reached number 1, then exit the top 20, before I started to like the song. Ironic? Yea. :P
4. You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift
Hahax this 1 is partly influenced by someone who likes Taylor Swift...a lot. But mostly is coz the radio never fails to play a Taylor Swift song. >.<
To be honest, Taylor Swift's a really pretty girl. :D She has a round face (hahax i also have round face xD), but most importantly, she's clean. Clean in the sense that she stays in the media for the right reasons, till date. :P A part of me says she'll stay that way, coz she looks so innocent, and I like that. ;)
K back to the music. This song is actually a more upbeat, country pop kind of song. Mebbe dat's why it took me quite some time to get used to it. Still, I think the 1 real thing that captured me is the lyrics in this song. Really interesting~ ;)
Nice work! :D
Nevertheless, I only like Taylor Swift's songs, dun tink i'll love them to bits.
But I don't mind having a Taylor Swift poster in my own room. :D
5. Nobody by The Wonder Girls
Ultimate case, I tell you. This one took mi wad...months?! HAHAX
It took the korean version and the slow version from my classmate who sits beside me, Yang Cheng (who is super into Wonder Girls), the english version this week on 987FM for me to like it enough to go download it.
Still, I don't really love it. Like only, coz their english not very good. Very korean english :P
Or is it just my taste?
Coz I think I'm starting to like songs that have a guitar/piano/(any other instrument) solo in them. :D
But one thing's for sure.
Heartless by Kris Allen is one song that needs just one listen 2 get you grooving...~ :P
Definitely up for running to be my Song of the Year ;)
You're better than the best
I'm lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler than the flipside of my pillow, that's right
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me
Lets me know that it's ok, yea it's ok
And the moments, when my good times start to fade
You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed
Sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile
Can't keep on loving you
from a distance...
