I find it interesting that there is a group named Rehab and a song entitled "Rehab" both appearing on the chart. The song sounds fascinating. I bet one is more proned to get "wasted" with the track playing in the background. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-_Cstkk6Jc

www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWqvMtSga8MThe song is okay. Yep it does seem like a duplicate of WGACA. However, "Rehab" is more on the dry side of things to me. JT doesn't sing on the track, but only appears in the video? What's up with that?

Gwen Stefani's hubby gets his first pop top 25 solo hit in America. I've been hearing the song for weeks now and I think it is quite beautiful. I believe the track's heartfelt lyrics and passionately mellow vocals attributed to the longevity of the single's rotation at select radio stations across the country. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R8Qvm24dbU

Alright, man, look. The difference here was that you purposefully talked down to me and made a rude comment. I had no way of knowing that casually striking through parts of your statement, to show that I partially agreed, was going to offend you and on such a personal level. Yeah, I purposefully did it, like you said. Maybe you will think twice about deleting part of a stranger's comment. We weren't really friends to begin with.

It's not annoying to me, just bland. After a string of songs that did nothing outside of Triple A, I don't get why this is the one that breaks that string. I also can't believe this could outpeak "The Remedy" as soon as next week. I think "I'm Yours" is cool. But, I can definitely see your point because I thought "The Remedy (I Won't Worry)" was quite attention grabbing and catchy and "I'm Yours" is a sleeper hit.

I am surprised no one has commented on this topic especially when it is the #1 single at pop radio. A well deserving one at that. It is a nice catchy jam. I like this one way better than "I Kissed A Girl."

I think her album Shontelligence is going to flop badly. (Which came out yesterday.) She told Z100's Shelley Wade that she is excited about the release of her album because the stores will be full because they will be buying Beyonce's album and might pick up hers too. Hmmm...wishful thinking on her part.
I heard that she has great material but she fails (or at least her label) to do any promotion on television shows. I didn't see any recent interviews promoting her material. Now that TRL has died, her career might do just that. I don't want to speak to soon, but I wish her the best. The good news, is that she might be approaching a peak of #16 on the pop chart. I really love "T-Shirt!"

I actually like this a lot. It's catchy but not obnoxious. And she uses her voice well without oversinging it. Wow, I never realized that. It's so true. I have to give her credit because the woman works her tail off and is so damn good at what she does. I can try to hate but she's just so unstoppable. Ok, so I've come around and now I like the track.

Well first of all, for you to tell me I'm talking "through my ass" was "rude and condescending" itself. Especially since you said that right before you made me aware you felt I was rude and condescending to you. Yes, I still say you were talking through your ass because that was my reply to YOU after crossing out my statement when I used the correct definition in the manner that I read it from the dictionary in the first place. Internet practice or not. I do not care if I was rude, because it was rude to snidely acknowledge and dismiss my comment (through strikethrough features or whatever) as if what I was saying came from planet Mars. That's how I felt period and I don't feel any other way. You do that to your own post or buddies' post to correct, not mine. Aha...misunderstanding from both parties I guess. I didn't like I had to take a stance in the manner that I did. But some people simply are on a high horse. So the both of you (crash46, and Nick O!) can use your authority to do what you have to do with me here. Since I'm the angry, irrational and demented one who ONLY had the big MISUNDERSTANDING here.

And don't you dare cross out my words that is rude and condescending....I know what I meant and you're clearly behaving like an arrogant troll. C'mon, man; that's an internet 'trend' too as far as I'm concerned, utilized to denote a partial agreement in this case. I don't think he was meaning to talk down to you at all. It is a rude and condescending gesture as far as I am concerned. I am the recipient and can interpret the particular situation in the manner that I feel. There is no need to rush me in to your particular line of thinking. Let him do the talking himself instead of backing up the buddies.

In order for Kanye to be a trendsetter, he'd not only have to popularize the vocoder effect, but to get people to follow in his footsteps. Otherwise, he's just following the trend. It's pretty hard to say he's in any way gotten others to follow him, and in fact, I can't even see how he's doing any variation at all that would allow a subsequent usage of this effect, should it occur, to be traced back to him rather than T-Pain and company. And just for the fun of it, I whipped out a dictionary so as not to be told I don't know what a trendsetter is, and the definition is: "one who or that which establishes trends in fashion, thought, etc." I'm not sure that Kanye's done anything different enough here that one can say he's establishing a trend. You can back up your internet buddy all you want because I will never be able to prove a point in any other fashion. Which is fine. I don't care. All I know is that thefreedictionary says, "One that initiates or popularizes a trend" and yourdictionary.com states, "a person, magazine, company, etc. that creates, espouses, or popularizes a trend or trends, as in fashions or ideas." So clearly in my mind, Kanye is a trendsetter with the vocoder sound: since "Love Lockdown" has gain popularity, especially according to the way I read the definition. (Which for me that only matters than having this frivolous and moronic "made for dorks" debate)

Kanye and T-Pain have has popularized the sound in this era. Of course. But Kanye stole the effect, used all over this song, from T-Pain, the "trendsetter." For better or worse. While I've derided T-Pain for using it as his gimmick (and creating s***ty singles on his first record; I barely respect him now), I've become a fan of the AutoTune effect, ironically, once it "caught on" and became utilized by other artists. (What can I say? I've always loved that vocoder sound.) Still, like every trend, it "catches on," will reach its saturation point, and soon enough fall out of favor once again. A trendsetter doesn't has to always initiate a trend but that individual can popularize a given trend as well. In this case, Kanye is also a trendsetter because he is making T-Pain's vocoder effect more popular at this given time period. You need to double check the definition of the word "trendsetter" because you are talking through your ass right now. And don't you dare cross out my words that is rude and condescending....I know what I meant and you're clearly behaving like an arrogant troll.

Kanye is definitely a trendsetter. Ironically, though, he stole the AutoTune effect from T-Pain who probably revived the sound from Roger Troutman. Kanye and T-Pain have popularized the sound in this era.

The lead single from Akon's third album Freedom is quite earworm-inducing. Eventhough the use of the "Na Na Na's" are seemingly redundant and irritating, it is perhaps the main factor in giving the track tremendous amount of listener appeal. In fact, the track has a sizable bullet at the format's airplay chart.
I find it rather intriguing when lyrics demonstrate the artist's insecurities and the way it is conveyed vocally.

I'm thrilled this became T.I.'s first top 5 hit at pop. In fact, the song makes me want to pop a couple of 40oz's all night and do whatever I like.

Congrats to Jen for doing tremendously well at Urban. Pop station Z100 has shockingly added "Spotlight." I express sympathy for her recent lost of her mom, brother and nephew amidst all of this success.

I think this is a fantastic collaboration. The lyrics are funny. I like the way they sing the police siren through. This part is the most attractive element of the song. The track topped the charts at Urban few weeks ago and making rounds at mainstream.

The song is alright. Not quite the Ciara standard I was looking for. Especially for a lead single of an album. In fact, the track is quite forgettable. She is capable of better. I hardly hear this song on my local Urban/Rhythmic stations. (The video is great though)
I was familiar with this song for quite some time now, so the song seems rather old to me. I don't think it is very pop friendly. The hook isn't too appealing. It is a bit mellow-ish. I could see why it didn't cross over or perform that well at Urban for that matter.

I'll cut Brit some slack for cleaning up her act. The track is quite melodious. I enjoy it a lot. The Outsyders hooked a chick up.

Happy (7 minutes late) birthday to krazymack! Hmm, seems like we have one cluster of birthdays in the early summer, and then another near the end of the year. Thank you for the birthday greetings Mega. ;D I'm the big 3-0! now. No more twenties for me. Sorry about my lack of activity lately... I've been overwhelmed and swamped at work. I've been reading all the great comments though.

Awww isn't that cute. Boyfriend and girlfriend is at #1 and #2. LOL! I'm rooting for "Disturbia" at #1, just an awesome song - the track gives me goosebumps. I'm obsessed with it. And yay for my girl Christina A...she's back...I love the new song.

Congrats to Britney Spears for winning 3 VMA's! (I can't believe it is the the first time she has won, considering she had kick ass videos before) I'm happy for her.
I thought Brit looked great at the awards ceremony, she resurfaced quite nicely after a disastrous performance last year.
