PopKaty Perry- E.T.
B+ [green](First single from her current album I can actually tolerate, and Kanye West makes me like this song more than I really should.)[/green]
Black Eyed Peas- Just Can’t Get Enough
B- [green](... but the mega switch-up part is mega retarded.)[/green]
Britney Spears- Till the World Ends
[blue]A+[/blue] [green](The remix with Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha is better, mostly because the song sounds like it should be sung by Ke$ha in the first place anyway.)[/green]
Adele- Rolling in the Deep
[blue]A-[/blue] [green](But a tad overrated. I'm surprised that this is blowing up so much when everything on her debut album barely made a dent outside of VH-1, and it's not like she's gotten
that much better.)[/green]
Jennifer Lopez f/ Pitbull- On the Floor
[red]F[/red] [green](... for rhyming "floor" with "floor" and using an extremely lazy sample for the chorus without adding anything.)[/green]
Kesha- Blow
BBruno Mars- Lazy Song
B+Tinie Tempah f/ Eric Turner- Written in the Stars
[blue]A+[/blue] [green](I first heard this on the Brit Awards and thought what an awesome song it was, but I never would have guessed it could have cross over the pond. Tinie Tempah being a British rapper and all.)[/green]
Rihanna- S&M
C- [green](Meh. And the remix with Britney adds absolutely nothing whatsoever.)[/green]
Jeremih f/ 50 Cent- Down On Me
B+ [green](Whoever has never heard this, must watch
this)[/green]
The Script- For the First Time
C-Jessie J f/ B.O.B.- Pricetag
B-Pitbull f/ Ne-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer - Give Me Everything
B [green](But I can see myself getting sick of this really, really quickly.)[/green]
Cee Lo Green- F**k You
[blue]A+[/blue]Pink- F**kin’ Perfect
BLupe Fiasco- The Show Goes On
B-New Boyz f/ Cataracs & Dev- Back Seat
C- [green](The hook is catchy and I do appreciate the collaboration with the Cataracs and Dev... but
"I heard you had a baby/You want a New Boy in you?" )[/green]
Lady Gaga- Judas
B- [green](Can this be any more formulaic? That being said, I'll still eat it up. I'm so glad the much superior "The Edge Of Glory" is taking over it.)[/green]
Selena Gomez & The Scene- Who Says nfe
Lady Gaga- Born this Way
B [green](Not formulaic, but I wish she'd add some subtlety to her songs at least and not be so contrived. I know she's trying to make this the current generation's gay anthem (a la "I Will Survive"), but c'mon now. Again, I'd still eat it up though.)[/green]
Wiz Khalfia- Roll Up
BMike Posner f/ Lil’ Wayne- Bow Chicka Wow Wow
[blue]A-[/blue] [green](Hilarious song, and hilarious video. But I don't understand the ending, when the two swap for each other's sloppy seconds. Is that something in the bro code that I'm unaware of?
)[/green]
Hot Chelle Rae- Tonight Tonight nfe
Dr. Dre f/ Eminem & Skylar Grey- I Need a Doctor
B-OneRepublic- Good Life
[blue]A-[/blue]Martin Solveig & Dragonette- Hello
[blue]A+[/blue] [green](
LOL! at one of the random Canadian female indie singer-songwriters that The Max has been raving about a decade ago actually hitting the Top 40! Martina Sorbara is the lead singer of Dragonette. That being said, this is some CanCon I can actually appreciate.)[/green]
LMFAO- Party Rock Anthem
C+ [green](How are they still around?!)[/green]
Avril Lavigne- What the Hell
[red]F[/red] [green](
What the hell is right)[/green]
Taylor Swift- The Story of Us nfe
Big Time Rush- Boyfriend nh
Lady Gaga- The Edge of Glory
[blue]A+[/blue] [green](Sounds like a rock ballad remixed into a dance song that's usually considered blasphemy. But this works so well, and I love the sax part.)[/green]
My Chemical Romance- Sing
[blue]A-[/blue]Chris Brown- Look At Me Now
B [green](Diplo and Busta Rhymes kill it on this track.)[/green]
Nicki Minaj f/ Drake- Moment 4 Life
B+Shontelle- Say Hello to Goodbye nfe
Jason Derulo- Don’t Wanna Go Home nfe
Beyonce- Run the World
D [green](I liked this song much better when it was called
"Pon De Floor". Beyoncé adds absolutely nothing to it. Nothing. I'm surprised Diplo is letting her get away with it.)[/green]
Nicki Minaj- Super Bass
BKanye West- All of the Lights
