Yo P&J, I'm really happy for you, Imma let you finish, but ILX had the greatest 2009 poll of all time! All time! (2009 ILX Trax Poll Results: TOP TEN TODAY)

shasta, you voted for "tik tok" in that other poll

FITE

but seriously re: blame it, i didn't know that a vocoder could work if you can only sing one note...

i'd honestly like to see a chart of his range on this song...

tik tok fucking SLAYS this song for reals.

btw sarge, my #2 was "freaxxx" so don't even trip.

tik tok fucking SLAYS this song for reals.

iawtc (even if I do like Blame It...)

shoulda voted for aidy's girl iirc

i think the autotune is mildly fresh in this context because the beat is also so slurry and whiny -- if you'll allow me, i think the song is very aqueous, it's like an ice luge of vodka as a song so it really works thematically & stylistically on a higher level than a lot of it's pop contemporaries this year -- also "fill another cup up/ feelin on your butt, what"

a a-a-a a-alcohol

FYI: that's a vocoder, son. i hate when people say "autotune" when they mean vocoder.

uhh Auto-Tune the program uses a vocoder. and it was probably made with Melodyne anyway so wtf

Blame it is the first single on here I voted for!

Xxxxxxxp zvook: you're totally welcome here; we just seem to keep showing up on the same threads and I was wondering if I knew you earlier. Ilx could always use new blood imo.

thx dude.

a brand new goon

j0rdon's claims for tracks in this thread sound so way out there til he explains what he likes, then you still think the claims are out there but you think of the track more highly

i don't like this one much but it does sound like being drunk in a certain way or setting, as expressed above

Blame It: deserves to place.

Girls: back to the kitchen. cook up something interesting next time.

so like, since i'm the only one who is posting itt that voted for girls, does that mean that a bunch of lurking indie fans are pumping up the results and we're gonna have a 3-2-1 of "1901, "stillness is the move" and "my girls?

btw I will not be posting over the weekend, so take the time to argue & talk amongst yourselves to prepare for the top 20

trick needs to stop acting like she's 16, her latest single is called Today Was A Fairytale btw

my #2

she's the Stephenie Meyer of music...just incomprehensible

my #16 but my highest one to place

musically u r so rong abt this btw

weird i thought that song kinda came and went in 08

yeah, same here. i voted it #2 when i saw it on the noms list, but i didn't even consider it for my p&j ballot

Voted "You Belong With Me" cuz this one seems so 2008 to me, but I love it so much. xps

yeah taylor swift is as genuine a white mainstream talent as you are going to get. only voted for "you belong with me" though (#2)

could maybe rename "blame it" to "elegantly wasted" xps

swift was probably nom'd by a brit bcuz her whole international career is like a year behind the us

This list so far is about half-stocked with stuff I never heard before this week. Some of it I really like (Guido, DJ Quik & Kurupt) and some of it I never want to hear again (House of House). So, good job ILM voting people.

too much Girls imo

great list so far

taylor swift placing can be explained by the continued existence of the UK

trick needs to stop acting like she's 16, her latest single is called Today Was A Fairytale btw

word the fuck up

oh shit

Voted "You Belong With Me" cuz this one seems so 2008 to me, but I love it so much. xps

this actually

i voted "love story" last year, "you belong with me" this year, but the more taylor the better. (i recently converted my deeply-skeptical sister by sending her a taylor disc. a few weeks later she wrote that she had gone and watched all her videos and her son was complaining about all the taylor swift in the house and she told him to blame me.)

I'm just not there yet on Taylor, you guys. I don't mind watching her act, whether it be comedy or drama, but I'm just not into her as a musician/singer/critical anomaly.

"Love Story" actually peaked on the Hot 100 in January 2009 and was still in the top 20 as late as May.

i would think taylor swift is someone you either like or don't, moreso than "get there on" xp

never voted for any of these songs iirc but totally cd've voted for abt 80%

run from 31 to 24 is sick

this one seems so 2008 to me, but I love it so much. xps

^

People understand that Romeo & Juliet ends badly, right?

it ends badly for taylor too, if you hear "white horse" as the logical "love story part 2."

Though I guess now that I think about I actually got into Taylor too late to vote for her in last year's poll.

"Love Story" actually peaked on the Hot 100 in January 2009 and was still in the top 20 as late as May.

you could probably say the same for "Just Dance" but nobody voted for it

Oh! Them British and their irony.
