30,000 times better than Rehab.
Although how is Duffy avoiding the "Stand By Me" beat comparison?

I really don't care too much one way or the other for who wins these other two match-ups, so I'll be polite and let somebody more passionate about any of the songs break the ties. Yeah exactly, I only cared about The Clash and that's one of my fav songs from them, so to lose to "Billie Jean" would be embarrassing to me..haha

First I saw them on MTV 2 and was disgusted by some other song/video they had. Well when I heard this on the radio and realized what it was, I was a little embarrassed. It really is an okay song all things considered.
It's looming around #40 with barely a bullet, something normally I wouldn't mind. But I think this is top 20 deserving.

Bahh..well I'll tell ya the album is better than that song. The song is really out of place I think, I assume they only included it to try to launch him off American Idol.

Ah, well I realize now I haven't introduced myself. Note that I was pretty much really joking in the picture post, I'm not really that uptight and weird, I more enjoy character acting and sometimes it gets the best of me. Ha!
So I suppose I'll rain on czarina's birthday parade and introduce myself now. I am just short of 22, my name is Blake and I started out at Pulse Music Board 3-4 years ago, I think. Initially I lurked then fell into signing up for an account, but still refrained from posting. I talked to a few members via PM and was invited here but didn't take up the offer right away. I ended up deleting my account there and eventually making my way here. I enjoy a lot of different kinds of music and like to keep my options open, but there's just some artists who can't seem to please me anymore (Britney Spears), ha! I guess that's all I can think to say?

Ah, I liked the video. I thought it played well on the song. I took the parachuting office workers to my own experience of the joy getting out of work and lifting stress. But I can see how it's cheesy, I prefer this to just her dancing around like Britney Spears or something.

A few times a year a song has a pretty eased move up mediabase only to my disgust. Sure there are songs I don't like, but these are songs that not only do I hate, but they're completely underserving of their slide. This is one of them. You can hear it here.62 42 KATY PERRY I Kissed A Girl 752 250 502 8.607 Don't forget this is the same artist who brought us the unbearable "Ur So Gay" that has the lyrical genius (sarcasm) chorus: "ur so gay and you don't even like boys, no you don't even like, no you don't even like, no you don't even like boys. Ur so gay and you don't even like boys." I just can't wait for radio stations across the nation to say "Mid-May Fools!"

She was obviously lip syncing on that performance.
I've seen the video and I'll be completely honest, if I heard this on the radio and they said "New Hillary Duff" I'd have been completely fooled. Why did they get Duff to do vocals for her?
It's really not bad, all things considered.
