rolling pop 2011

I love that Solveig-Dragonette single, it's so "Voodoo Child" in the best possible way

the first time i heard "i need a doctor" i was like o_O

i was like i DO need a doctor

Clip from Nicola Roberts' debut. Very promising imo

i was like i DO need a doctor

lmao

fleet foxes outsold j lo & sade

do u like the fleet foxes?

as much as the next guy, i guess -- i haven't heard the new album tho

if i post here that makes me the next guy and i hates em

it's not like they outsold Sade's blockbuster 2010 album, they outsold Sade's second greatest hits compilation

i was hanging out with some friends of mine who are a year younger than me, and who listen to stuff i don't listen to. it was fun bc i got to ask them questions. i was like what do u think of fleet foxes, what do u think of vampire weekend, what do u think of arcade fire. i think the biggest responses were for fleet foxes and bon iver. people were like exclaiming and shit. this is not entirely relevant to this discussion, just sayin'.

yeah, kids are pretty fuckin' stupid.

people were like exclaiming and shit.

love this

I guess this fits in the pop category? (It's probably better for the dilettante thread, but that thing is deadsville.) Anyway, this is Kauf's second track of the year and it makes me want to walk down the sidewalk Travolta-style in my own remake of Saturday Night Fever.

"E.T." aside this is probably the best top 5 the U.S. has had in a while imo:

1. Rolling In The Deep, Adele
2. E.T., Katy Perry Featuring Kanye West
3. The Edge Of Glory, Lady Gaga
4. Give Me Everything, Pitbull Featuring Ne-Yo, AfroJack & Nayer
5. Just Can't Get Enough, The Black Eyed Peas

"give me everything" is surprisingly great

can't be resisting that beat when the chorus comes round

just can't get enough might be the black eyed peas song i actually like

have all the ppl who hate on BEP endlessly ever heard "Weekend" or "Fallin' Up"?

(yes I know that's like a lifetime away from where they are now but it's not like they spent their entire career doing "I Gotta Feeling")

i don't know if i've heard those songs -- but i don't endlessly hate on them. i definitely hated on i gotta feeling for a hot minute but when i hear it on the radio now i actually kind of like it.

I strongly suggest checking them out, I like nu-BEP but I really miss old-BEP

coo

I kinda burnt out on "weekend" as the song always played at house parties by friends who hated street rap, chart rap etc. BEP's subsequent transformation must have upset that crowd no end.

sorry I just love this track and I'd never actually seen the video before

"I Gotta Feeling" is better than either of those songs and I hate "I Gotta Feeling".

i think the only BEP song i properly like to date is "my humps" :/

It's "Imma Be" and nothing else.

("Joints & Jams" is what's up tho.)

"Edge of Glory" is the only song in the current top 5 I like and I only kind of like it.

I be hatin'.

given how boring adele fundamentally is, "rolling in the deep" being okay feels like some sort of minor triumph

"Meet Me Half Way" was great.

Meet Me Halfway was a great chorus paired with some of the most embarrassing, half-assed verses I've heard in years:

I spent my time just thinkin thinkin thinkin bout you
Every single day yes, i'm really missin' missin' you
And all those things we use to use to use to do
Hey girl, wuz up, it use to be just me and you
I spent my time just thinkin thinkin thinkin bout you
Every single day, yes i'm really missin missin you
And all those things we use to use to use to do
Hey girl wuz up, wuz up, wuz up, wuz up

should we redo the best Black Eyed Peas single poll?

most embarrassing, half-assed verses are the best parts of BEP songs

monday, tuesday, wednesday thursday

most embarrassing, half-assed verses are the best parts of BEP songs

take that shit to RONG 2

yeah the best parts are Fergie's bizarre enunciation...in embarrassing,half-assed verses

does anyone else think that ne-yo's phoned-in chorus on "give me everything" sounds uncomfortably like "hero" by mariah carey

omg btw i can now confirm that just can't get enough is NOT the bep song i like

i mean it's fine but

i was liiike ... who is this

were you thinking of a different song upthread or did you just change your mind about it?

i was thinking of a different song. i was in the office and it came on the radio, and i asked my coworker "who the hell is this anyway" and she said "BEP"

do they even have another song on the radio right now?

besides the "Time of My Life" one? i don't think so.

you know what - it honestly might have been "i just can't get enough"

i think i kind of like that song sometimes ... :/

i just came to say hello just came on

i mean the first half and second half of "Just Can't Get Enough" are practically different songs so i can see how that could lead to confusion or you'd be hot and cold about it. i personally only really like the first half.
