There's 15 of them! They're not in countdown form... sorry... but they DO have links to YouTube videos of them! Just click on the title, if you want! Most of the videos are the official video! Yay! Ummm Here we go!
1. Hot ‘N Cold – Katy Perry
I LOVE this song. I would never NOT want to listen to it. When it comes on the radio, I won’t leave the room until it’s over. It’s got a hyper beat and it’s great to dance to! It’s got simple lyrics that sound really great with the music and I just LOVE it!
2. I Kissed a Girl – Katy Perry
Yes, another by Katy Perry! But we all love this song. Ten years ago, this song would have been shunned. I think it’s great that, even though she’s not really lesbian, that a song about un-straight goings on can be so popular. And besides that, it’s another one of those hyper dance songs that I love so much… And it’s easy to parody! (I kissed a squirrel, anyone?)
3. The Show – Lenka
SUCH a cute song. It’s one of those songs where it would be annoying if they overplayed it, but I’ve only heard it on the radio once, so it’s OK. Lenka has a cute voice, and the lyrics are cute, and the tune is cute, it’s just CUTE! And the music video is adorable. It has dancing tomatoes. You can’t go wrong with dancing tomatoes!
4. I’m Yours – Jason Mraz
This song is a happy song! We all need some cheering up at times, and this is just the song. It is vaguely reminiscent of reggae, but not overly so. And you can almost hear Jason Mraz smiling as he sings it. When I was listening to the radio when we got home, I heard this song and I couldn’t help smiling. This is definitely a song I’ll make my kids listen to. :D
5. 220 – t.A.T.u.
You know I had to put a t.A.T.u. song on this list, and quite handily they came out with a new album this year! The English version, “Happy Smiles,” isn’t coming out until sometime in 2009, but I’m okay with Russian! There are, of course, several other songs on that album (which is called “Veselye Ulybki,” by the way) like Beliy Plaschik, but I didn’t like it as much as 220. As with most of their songs, you can vaguely grasp the meaning but it’s kind of… vague… to me. But the music and beat is great, and the lyrics (although I can’t understand them) sound good with the music. The music video is kind of strange, but whatever. I love this song! (I just listened to it like, 10 times in a row lol)
6. Viva La Vida – Coldplay
Even though I fail at understanding the lyrics, I love the tune and music to this song. The start, where it sounds like an orchestra, is incredible. I don’t really have much to say about this one, except that I love it!
7. Angels on the Moon – Thriving Ivory
I heard this song a couple times, and I remembered it from the fact that one line was, “Don’t tell me if I’m dying, ‘cause I don’t wanna know,” which I liked, and the fact that I couldn’t tell if the singer was male or female. Eventually I looked it up and found out that the singer was in fact male. (I also saw them in one of Mrs. Flynn’s music magazines.) Anyways, then I found out Hannah likes that song too. It’s a good song, although not the type I usually listen to :D
8. Bleeding Love – Leona Lewis
This is one of the most popular songs of the year, but I still like it! Nobody calls it “Bleeding Love,” or at least I don’t, I call it the keep bleeding song. It’s just on the edge of being too R&B for me to like it, but the lyrics are great, and Leona Lewis’ voice is really beautiful. Even though the lyrics don’t make that much sense, the music is beautiful.
9. Pocketful of Sunshine – Natasha Bedingfield
This is a nice song, a feel good song! There is, of course, the inside-joke thing with the butterflies, and Loveless, and all that. But ANYWAYS. I don’t know, I can’t say why I like this song, I just do!
10. Fall For You – Secondhand Serenade
When I first heard this one, it sounded like some band I’d heard, or maybe not, or…? But I found out that it wasn’t. The singer sounds a little to heartfelt for my tastes, but the words are good and so is the music. And he pronounces the words funny! For example: he says, “ouuver again” in a weird kind of… accent… Um… I like this song?
11. Paper Planes – M.I.A.
Haha! I like this song! It’s like, ALMOST rap but not quite and it’s REALLY fun to sing (especially when you’re on the escalator at the Cleveland airport and there are these big steel plate models of paper planes…). But yeah. Once Lekey showed me this song on the way to a SAYF retreat, and I was like, whatever. But then I started listening to it more, and it grew on me…. heheh.
12. Love Lockdown – Kanye West
I KNOW, you’re like, What? She likes Kanye West? TAYLOR likes Kanye West? The answer is: not really. I just like this song. It’s kinda spooky, and the vocal effects are cool. Except the end is creepy because it’s just like, drum…drum…drum… and I always have to change the station when it gets to that part ☺ But it’s a good song!
13. Love Song – Sarah Barriels
GREAT piano song. There was this girl at camp who could play the whole thing AND sing along with it! But yeah. The music video is cute, where she’s in the little machine… anyways. Good song, great lyrics, GREAT piano. :D
14. Shake It – Metro Station
Yeah. This song is NOT about dancing. But it’s still a good song! Especially when you want Italian dressing, and you have to shake shake, a shake shake, a shake it!
15. So What – Pink
Not my favorite, but still a good song! There are two parts I really like: the “uh, check my flow, ouh” part, and the very end where she goes “badadadada” to end the song. Me likey. Haha. But yeah. This was Time magazine’s top song of the year, and I can see why! (Love Lockdown was number 2, FYI)
Okay, there are my lists! Now I’m off to waste time until it gets relatively close to Midnight, at which time I will post my last post! Okay!
