mtv.com's "contenders for 2011's song of the summer"

man that adele song, like at a certain point you can't really front, that is a pop hit for sure. i hear it all the time and i pretty much can't criticize it, catchy as hell

the correct winner!

and the four 0-votes are the four irredeemably awful songs on the list. haven't heard "lighters" yet tho.

I really can't tolerate the way Adele sings at all.

"Rolling In The Deep" is pretty great and still huge in the summer but kinda silly to be on this list in the first place, it's been out since like November

people fronting on "Give Me Everything" itt

i really love "give me everything"

hear that song 5 times a day and i'm still not really sick of it!

the secret best part of that song is pitbull's post-chorus chorus (?)

WE MIGHT! NOT! GET! TOMORROW!

btw i might possibly be in miami next week to talk to pitbull

the secret best part of that song is pitbull's post-chorus chorus (?)

there are basically four parts to the chorus that total 24 bars -- and Pit's verses are only like 12 bars! the song is practically all chorus

i still have no idea who nyer is or what her role in the song is

she's the female voice who sings on 1/4th of the chorus -- afaict she's just some random hot video chick that pitbull gave a part on the song

i still don't understand why all these dance producers like afrojack, guetta, benny benassi etc. get a 'featuring' credit just for doing the beat -- y'all might do that in europe but here in america timbaland has to get in front of the mic and mumble a couple times to get billing on the track

it's a post-khaled world

just another symptom of America's descent into socialism IMO

the funny thing about "give everything to me" is that pitbull shout out ne-yo & nyer on the intro, so clearly afrojack labeled for a credit afterward?

pitbull also says "kodak" twice in one sentence on the intro, so i don't think it was very carefully considered

lol that is true

i wonder if kodak is experiencing a cristal-esque sales bump, i should've bought some stock

like (cherry) chapstick in 08

God, "Where Them Girls At" may have, by a long shot, the worst Nicki verse ever.

Peebee!
Peebee!
Who is Peabo Bryson?
Two years ago I renewed my license.
Anyway why'd I start my verse like that?
You could suck a dick or you could suck on a ballsack
No, no,
I don't endorse that.
Pause that,
abort tha.
Just the other day mi go London, saw dat, kids ina the street
Paparazzi, all dat

not to mention the lazy, obnoxious "DAY DA DAY DAY DAY DAY" babbling. Barf. Sorry, I guess I could have put this on one of the Nicki threads. This poll actually has a decent number of enduring summer jams, mixed in with stuff I heard way too many times at my last restaurant job and would pay money to never hear again e.g. "Lighters," "Rolling In The Deep," "Super Bass," and "TGIF."

Still dig "Party Rock Anthem" though.

haha you didn't even mention that the verse ends with BECKY BECKY BECKY

anyway, KP & pitbull are pretty much the only two of these that i'll bump in the car -- maybe "i'm on one" begrudgingly

idk

feeling nostalgic for a time when j0rdan would only bump "i'm on one" begrudgingly

ha, I totally missed that Guetta/Nicki/Flo Rida. what a shitshow.

"So go get them, we can all be friends!"
