rolling pop in 2009 thread

guys you're missing the silver lining here...the ascendance of Asher Roth may end up getting totally fucked up by Eminem coming back (and probably just very briefly) at the exact same time...plus 50 just took "Crack A Bottle" for his album, so i'm betting Em will push back his album at least another 6 months now.

Realized something about Flo Rida, and why I like him -- he reminds me of a Tommy Davidson sketch on In Living Color. Love "Right Round."

you know what, I just realized that Flo Rida is the new Nelly. Great pop-rap jamz.

dude don't even compare them

"See You In My Nightmares" is being sent to radio next month o_O

yeah this is fucking retarded

I can't tell which one you think is insulted by the comparison.

just listened to the Flo-Rid song: LOL. Is that Katy Perry on the chorus?

no, her name is Kesha, she has some okay songs. Her influences list is a work of performance art though: http://www.myspace.com/keshaishot

old Nelly >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Flo Rida >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> new Nelly

the last nelly album actually had a couple of good trax on it but i agree, even then it's tough to care any more

and those trax weren't as good as 'in the ayer' or 'low' so the point still stands

not as good az as in the ayer or low = kinda sad

LOL

P-P-P-POKAH FACE MAH MAH POKAH FACCCEEEEEE

4 2 KERI HILSON FEATURI TURNIN ME ON

do you guys think Keri is going to get another hit or was "Turnin Me On" only big because of Wayne? I'm hoping that isn't the case but...

depends on what she has left... "shake it like a dog" or maybe "get it girl"

4 8 KELLY CLARKSON MY LIFE WOULD SUCK WITHOUT YOU

this is makin me lol - also the EPIC PLUMMET by "prom queen". maybe the album will never come out

hopefully but I doubt wayne actually cares about sales so he'll most likely still inflict that album upon us

like... if the label just waits 4 months he'll have no recollection of recording the tracks and will have moved onto something else

20 24 BEYONCE DIVA
44 49 BEYONCE HALO

This is really interesting to me, because the label was really pushing "Halo" as the next "Irreplacable"/a career defining song for Bey but it seems to be underperforming/ overshadowed by "Diva"... much like "If I Were A Boy" was totally eclipsed by "Single Ladies"... do people not like ballads anymore?

maybe this 'two singles at once' strategy wasn't the smartest idea

honestly I don't hear any more singles off of the I Am... side of the album... maybe "Ave Maria"?

those are pretty limp, neither is nearly as good as "irreplaceable"

radio should be a single

more like people don't like really shitty zzzzzzz ballads

"halo" is a beautiful song

halo is terrific, i don't feel that it's being promoted at all though

and it seems like an obvious #1 single so the fact that it's kind of underperforming is surprising

yeah it kind of isn't, she did perform it at the NAACP Honors awards though

I've grown to like "Single Ladies", but otherwise this whole Beyonce project is wack imo

^crazy talk imo

depends on what she has left... "shake it like a dog" or maybe "get it girl"

1) "return the favor" is easily the best song on the album i had no idea it was a flop
2) challops alert i think "suck" is almost as good as "since u been gone"

wow that's one hell of a fuckin challop man

I agree with you about "my life would suck," I actually prefer it to "since u been gone".

and I'm not being challopsy (my first time using this word)

ya i like "return the favor" a lot too... dunno why it slipped under the radar. i think it's too cassie for radio, and by that i mean featherweight and airy. of course that's also what makes it great

you guys are fucking insane

the chorus to "my life would suck without you" is so lazy!

I think the chorus is pitch-perfect, I love the way it swells. The song is so massive! I don't get why people don't like it.

whats so special about "since u been gone" anyway, I never got why everyone latched onto it like that

also re beyonce, maybe you're (brainwasher) right w/r/t the 2 singles at once strategy. i like "broken hearted girl", "disappear" and "radio" each a lot, but idk if they're "singles". i guess if "diva" can be one, "radio" has a shot (not a slight, i'm just surprised it caught on with radio peeps). "ave maria" would be the absolute worst choice, and it would fucking blow my mind if it was chosen as a single

xpost "suck" is essentially "SUBG part 2" which is fine by me

i like the "my life" verses a lot but... god that chorus, they could do something besides just have her scream the song's title. idk

btw "halo" is alright but i wouldn't wanna hear something so languid on the radio all the time, very much like... idk "take a bow" or something.

I know they're planning on releasing "Ego" as a single (there's a remix with Kanye supposedly which is LOLZ), "Radio" definitely, I would say "Scared of Lonely" but I hate Beyonce's version... "Smash Into You" maybe? "Disappear" is my favorite song on the album but it's not single-worthy to me.

yeah jordan basically all of the I Am... side is languid, slow-burning, sleepy-time ballads thats why I don't hear any singles...

i think "radio" would be huge - i feel like maybe the label gave into beyonces wishes in releasing "diva" over "radio" cuz i can't see how anyone who got paid to decide such things would think that "diva" had more hit potential than "radio"

actually "ego" was going to be the second single but r&b/urban radio started playing "diva" a lot so they made that the second single
