5 O’Clock is a pretty good song. I prefer the part featuring Wiz Khalifa over
the chorus featuring Lily Allen and even over T-Pain; although it’s a close
second. T-Pain and Wiz Khalifa are two
of my favorite Rappers at the present time. I
have actually been watching a remixed Music video of Black and Yellow by WizKhalifa featuring T-Pain; among others, and I must say that T-Pain’s part is
the best besides Wiz Khalifa’s of course, once again.

Flo Rida featuring David Guetta: Club Can’t Handle Me [From “Step Up 3D”]
Club Can’t Handle Me is a pretty good song; most
notably found on the Soundtrack to Step Up 3D.
I haven’t had the privilege of watching Step Up 3D yet however I am in no
hurry. I watched the first film
in the trilogy and although it was ok; the only reason I watched it was because
of Channing Tatum. He is a pretty good
actor but I prefer him in the likes of the new G.I. Joe film franchise of late
entitled G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and the sequel set to be released this
year entitled G.I. Joe: Retaliation.
Aaron Carter featuring Flo Rida: Dance With Me
I was so tired of waiting for Aaron Carter to mature
that I decided to go ahead and download Dance With Me even though it is not
from a Studio album, nor does it look like one is coming out even though it has
been scheduled for quite some time. I
say that because I downloaded this single in anticipation for his fifth Studio album which has yet to be produced, and I heard of that album in 2009 when I
downloaded this single; thinking it would be the lead single released from it
and the album still has not been released three years later.
Sean Paul featuring Alexis Jordan: Got 2 Luv U
Got 2 Luv U was released in July of 2011 but to be
honest with you I didn’t download it until late that same year because it flew
under the radar for so long. However it
is an amazing song and reminds me of my party days in Montreal, Quebec because
the Music video is such an amazing accompaniment to the song. The reason I say that is because it
completely reminds me of a party scene I encountered while I was in
Montreal. Of course this is back in the
day when I lived in Ottawa, the capital city of Canada.
Bob Sinclar featuring Sean Paul: Tik Tok (Chuckie & R3hab Remix)
I can’t find out a lot of information about the song
Tik Tok and I am not referring to the most popular version of TiK ToK, done of
course by Ke$ha and made most-famous by her.
In fact I prefer her take on this song, which really has nothing in
common with the other except for the name of the song. However Bob Sinclar is a fantastic DJ/Producer
from France and so therefore it’s needless for me to say that I enjoy his Music
as anything from France usually has a positive influence on me.
Sean Paul: Temperature
For all intensive purposes Temperature was the second
single released from The Trinity, Sean Paul’s third album. I say that as there was another single
released worldwide but it had virtually no impact on the key United States of America market. However Temperature is a
great song and I now realize why I like it so much being from The Trinity, like
I said. There are two Trinities that I
know of; an Unholy Trinity and of course the Holy Trinity.
Sean Paul: We Be Burnin’ (Legalize It – Album Version)
We Be Burnin’ (Legalize It) was the first single by
Sean Paul that got my attention and I haven’t turned back since. This single was released all the way back in
2005 but I didn’t download it until later in life, such as within the last two
years. To the best of my recollection it
was in 2011 but it could have been 2010 and as I write this it probably makes
more sense to say 2010. But I can’t be
certain. I have lost my records of when
I downloaded songs because of the constant need to reformat and backup files.

TLC: Dear Lie
I just finished listening to my last run-through of
my TLC Playlist. It didn’t take me very
long at all, and that is due in large part to my infatuation
with them, even to this day. They actually have the same
initials, as a group, as my sister who has since passed on did. And that could be the reasoning, especially
now why I am and have always been drawn to them.
They also make great Music and as I previously mentioned, lost a member
of their group; much like the loss of my sister would be to me and it was also at the same time period.
TLC: Unpretty
Unpretty is a great song. I had wrote a blog entry for this song a long
time ago but in the mess of electronics and transferring files from one device
to another, I lost it. Anyhow this song
was released as the second single to TLC’s massively successful third Studio album entitled FanMail. I thought this
song was a great way to enter the new Millennium with all the hype, the summer
it was released, surrounding Y2K.
Unpretty is one song that went down in history as one of TLC’s best and
most certainly a classic in the R&B community.
TLC: No Scrubs
No Scrubs was released as the lead single
to FanMail. If you are unaware of that
then whoever is reading this is not very familiar with the Music industry, in my opinion. No Scrubs is literally one of the most
successful singles of alltime, including but not limited to any other
artist. From what I can tell from the
research I have done, No Scrubs is TLC’s most successful single, at least in
terms of global sales.
TLC: Silly Ho
Silly Ho was not released as an official single for
FanMail but none the less, it was released as a promotional single to it. FanMail was one of the greatest records ever
produced and still is to this day, in my opinion. Silly Ho is just one example; of course not
your average everyday TLC hit, but a good one none the less. I say that because it could be misconstrued
as a little graphic or derogatory, but it is right up there with a good lyrical message if
you ask me.

TLC: FanMail
FanMail was not released as an official single, but
none the less is the name of TLC’s massive follow up to 1994’s huge success
entitled CrazySexyCool. Of course I am
referring to the album of the same name FanMail but I thought that was
needless to say. The album FanMail was a
long time in the making and so therefore TLC decided to wait until 1999 to
release it, so it was effectively 5 years later.
The song FanMail was a great way to kick off the album and set the tone for the rest of the record.
TLC: Waterfalls
I am not a huge fan of Waterfalls but it’s a good
song and definitely a TLC classic. It
was released as the third single from CrazySexyCool and according to Wikipedia,
which I tend to agree with, is their signature song. I would so much rather listen to some other
TLC songs, for example, No Scrubs then to hear Waterfalls. It’s kind of depressing, but No Scrubs gives
me power.
TLC: Creep
Creep was released as the lead single to
CrazySexyCool, TLC’s second Studio album; an album I don't appreciate as much as their first and third.
But none the less a great album and it solidified their mark on the
Music industry. They have released four
Studio albums thus far and most likely will not release another especially considering their
fourth Studio album did not have nearly as much impact as the preceding
three. That is due in large part to the
tragic death of Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes that I terribly regret even though my
sister passed away at the same time so therefore I knew what to expect in terms of being saddened by the loss of her. In fact my sister's initials were T.L.C.

Lady GaGa: You and I (Danny Verde Remix)
I just finished a great Playlist featuring none other
than Lady GaGa of course. If you don’t
know me then you will soon find out that I love her. I think she is amazing and I appreciate all
of her Christian epithets. Unlike a lot
of other artists out there, both Secular and Religious; who do not stick their
neck out on the line for The King.
Lady GaGa: Judas
That was actually a really good run through of
Judas. I couldn’t resist anymore, seeing
as it is so close to Easter. As I am
writing this, it is actually 3 weeks till Good Friday so that is very exciting
to me. But only because I can get some
more presents and this darn Fast will be over that is driving me nuts through
Lent.
Lady GaGa: Alejandro
It took me a while to decide whether or not I was
going to download Alejandro. Turns out
it’s one of Lady GaGa’s best songs thus far.
I had gone ahead and downloaded Bad Romance and Telephone. But I wasn’t sure I wanted to go all the way
with the singles from this album, being The Fame Monster.
However by the time this song was in full force around the middle of the
summer of 2010; I couldn’t resist. I mean, I am a little Latin and Italian, strictly speaking of descendants, so not downloading
this song in my mind would be like a crime against humanity.
Lady GaGa: Telephone
Telephone is a great song. It features one of my favorite Artists,
although I am not a huge fan of her solo career. However, what I am a fan of is her girl-group
days as part of the dynamic Trio, for all intensive purposes, Destiny’s Child. I still listen to them on a
regular basis as they had such a huge impact on my life; which is why I find it
difficult to promote Beyonce’s solo career.
My reasoning behind that is I have not really ever supported anyone’s
solo career, coming from a Group. The
closest I came to doing that was with Gwen Stefani and she has only ever produced
two albums.
Lady GaGa: Bad Romance
Bad Romance was released as the lead single from the
EP entitled The Fame Monster. I wasn’t
even going to download this song after the disappointment of buying The Fame on
CD. The reason why I say that is because
I was becoming very frustrated with buying CDs at that time. I even went so far as to stop doing it and
instead switch to MP3s. Therefore I
thought that I would wait until she came out with something better because Bad Romance is most definitely not the best song on The Fame Monster.
Lady GaGa: Beautiful, Dirty, Rich
Even though Beautiful, Dirty, Rich was not released
as a single; I think that it would have done well none the less. Whereas Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) did
not do that well; especially considering it was not released in the coveted
market of The United States of America.
Everyone knows that if you want to make it “Big Time”, you have to crack
that market. However Beautiful, Dirty, Rich might have done good in The United States of America as I said above.
Lady GaGa: Poker Face
I left Poker Face for last, to Blog about because it
is pretty pointless for me to Blog about it at this point. I have said almost everything there is to say
about Poker Face as I have been Blogging about it since 2009 when I received
the CD on which it’s from. That would be
none other than The Fame and so therefore I really enjoy this album because it
is really unique and original if you ask me.

Kanye West: All of the Lights
All of the Lights was released as the fourth single
from Kanye West’s fifth Studio album entitled My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. It’s a pretty exciting song actually
and I highly recommend it. It was
released all the way back in January of 2011, but I didn’t download it until
that summer. I was so behind with my
download schedule and I still am. In
fact I have stopped downloading music but All of the Lights did make for an
exciting summer that year; especially the very end.
Keri Hilson: Pretty Girl Rock
Pretty Girl Rock is a great song. It was released as the lead single from Keri Hilson’s second Studio album entitled No Boys Allowed. However it failed to impact Radio and the
like, and so therefore suffered greatly at the hands of the public. I was never really in love with it as much as
her preceding “big hit” entitled Knock You Down, but it did do a pretty good job at filling its shoes.
Far East Movement & Keri Hilson: Don’t Look Now
I have no idea why I downloaded Don’t Look Now. But it must have been because I thought it
would be released as a single and it wasn’t.
In fact I don’t even think it came close, as If I Was You (OMG) was
released months later in its place. So many months later
that Far East Movement went from October 29th, 2010 – April 12th, 2011
without releasing anything; according to Wikipedia. However, Don’t Look Now
features one of my favorite artists, right now, Keri Hilson. That might be why I downloaded it but you
never know; it might have just been because I had a thought that it might have
been released as a single.
Jay-Z featuring Rihanna & Kanye West: Run This Town
I have no idea where this song fits into my Download
schedule, but I think I downloaded it last year; which was a good two years after
its release. I must say it’s a pretty
good song, but a little dark and I could do without some of the melodramatics. However, Rihanna is featured on this song and
that always makes me smile even though I have stopped buying her material as of
late because of my lack of funds and decision to switch back to CDs for a short
time.
Keri Hilson featuring Kanye West & Ne-Yo: Knock You Down
Knock You Down was released as the fourth single, for
all intense purposes, from Keri Hilson’s debut Studio album entitled In a Perfect World… I must admit that this is the song that sold
the album for me and it just so happened to be the last Secular CD I bought
that year and for many years after. I
decided to purchase MP3s after this album because I thought the purchase of
this album was a little excessive for me considering I only really listened to that one
song.
Chris Brown featuring Keri Hilson: Superhuman
Superhuman was released as the second single from
Exclusive: The Forever Edition and the
sixth single overall from Exclusive.
Exclusive: The Forever Edition
was a re-release of Exclusive as it featured more songs than the original
album. The song Forever was actually the
single that sold this album for me; Superhuman was more like icing on the cake
but I didn’t even listen to it that much and I don’t overly enjoy it.
Keri Hilson: Energy
My current Playlist is amazing. It starts off really slow but continues the
upward trend until I reach All of the Lights.
I must say, that is the climactic point but Keri Hilson does help along
the way; as she is not featured in All of the Lights even though numerous other
artists are. Those artists include but
are not limited to: John Legend,
The-Dream, Ryan Leslie, Tony Williams, Charlie Wilson, Elly Jackson, Alicia Keys, Fergie, Kid Cudi, Rihanna and of course Elton John.

The Hills: Season One, "Love Is Not a Maybe Thing"
I just finished the Ninth Episode of The Hills from Season One and so therefore the Ninth Episode overall. It was pretty good, but not nearly as exciting as some of its preceding episodes. This episode was entitled “Love Is Not a Maybe Thing” and it was all about Heidi Montag’s breakup with Jordan Eubanks which in my opinion was an obvious choice given who she upgraded to. I am not saying that Spencer Pratt has no faults but he is seriously so much more entertaining and funnier, that it isn’t even funny. Spencer Pratt is a great reality TV star in my opinion.
Jersey Shore: Season One, "Boardwalk Blowups"
I just finished the Sixth Episode of Jersey Shore from Season One, entitled “Boardwalk Blowups.” It was pretty interesting, but having seen it before it was more like a repeat episode. However that goes without being said, although I must say that it is more enjoyable than a typical repeat episode as I own this Series on DVD and so there are no commercials included. There is also better picture quality with things that are recorded on Disc as opposed to things which are broadcast over Network Television.
Keeping Up with the Kardashians: Season Three, "Kourt’s First Cover"
That was an amazing episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. It was entitled “Kourt’s First Cover”. I actually really love Keeping Up with the Kardashians and I have been waiting for this season for a long time. It is the Third Season and I highly recommend it and this show. For example there are six seasons so far and the Seventh Season is set to air this year, 2012.
The Simple Life 3: Interns, "Wedding Planner"
That was a great episode of The Simple Life featuring none other than Ke$ha. Of course it was preceding her rise to fame so you might not recognize her, but it is her none the less. I love that episode because of her the most even though she doesn’t get a lot of camera time. But Ke$ha has become one of my favorite Musical artists.
Legend of the Seeker: Season One, "Revenant"
That was a pretty good episode of Legend of the Seeker entitled: “Revenant”. I didn’t like it as much as the preceding episode but it was good none the less and it did teach me a valuable lesson. I am in the processing of moving from my home and during this episode it showed the Seeker, Richard Cypher, being locked in a tomb. His only escape was to have a previous Seeker leave his body. He did this with the help of Zeddicus Zu’l Zorander, a wizard of the First Order. I imagined Zedd to be my father, me the Seeker and my downstairs neighbor the other Seeker.
Lost: Season Six, "LA X"
I just finished the Season premiere of Lost from the Sixth and final season and it was great. It was entitled “LA X” and it was a double episode that originally aired on February 2nd, 2010. I waited a very long time to get this particular season whereas I purchased the first five seasons within a year and I would even go so far as to say within six months of each other. In fact the last time I bought a season of this show, which was the Fifth Season was in January of 2011 and I waited until June of 2012 to get the Sixth and final season.
Ugly Betty: Season Three, "Granny Pants"
I just wrapped up the Fifth Episode of Ugly Betty from Season Three, entitled “Granny Pants,” and it was pretty exciting. Now I am really looking forward to giving this Series away as I am almost to the Fourth Season with the rate at which I am watching it.

Madonna featuring LMFAO & Nicki Minaj: Give Me All Your Luvin’ (Party Rock Remix)
The Party Rock Remix of Give Me All Your Luvin’ is a
great remix. Of course it features
LMFAO, a group I am in love with at the moment and can practically do no wrong
in my eyes. However the Nicki Minaj rap
solo part is in the remix along with being in the original of course and that’s
what I have issue with. As if the remix
featured the amazing rap solo part care of M.I.A. then I would be a lot
happier.
Madonna: I F**ked Up
I F**ked Up is an ok song. I chose it for my first MDNA Playlist but I
only did so as I was feeling extremely guilty at the time. It is found on Disc 2 from the MDNA Deluxe edition release so it is a bonus track and hardly an appropriate one for
playing aloud. It is more like a silent
or a listen-to-by-yourself-through-your-headphones kind of song. It is most definitely not for the faint of
heart and since it is a bonus track, I don’t recommend it as a single MP3
download on its own.

Madonna: Superstar
Superstar is a great track. It appears as the seventh song on the album
and since we are talking about the album, MDNA, I thought I would add in that
Madonna kicks off her tour in Israel tomorrow (writing this on May 30th,
2012) and I am very excited. It is
appropriately entitled the MDNA Tour however it is also apparently known as the
2012 World Tour but I doubt that will stick.
Anyhow I am looking forward to it with great anticipation and she is
planning on being on tour until the end of the year, right before Christmas; so
that will be very exciting.
Madonna: Turn Up the Radio
I had read that Turn Up the Radio was to be released
as the third single to MDNA but now that information seems to have escaped me. However I did read it on Wikipedia so it
might not be 100% accurate, but none the less it’s a great song. Turn Up the Radio is the fourth track on MDNA
and I must say it provides a great anthem for the rest of the album. Madonna’s tour kicks off on the 31st
of May (written on May 25th, 2012).
Madonna: I’m Addicted
I’m Addicted is a great little number. It precedes the next single to be released
from MDNA, according to Wikipedia, on the album entitled Turn Up the Radio. That is a great track as well but
since I am Blogging about I’m Addicted and then Turn Up the Radio; I will focus
on the song at hand. It is really
interesting and it just so happens I am getting to know it right before what
will most likely be Madonna’s most successful Tour. I say that because if History is any judge
then it will be and to top it all off she is kicking off her tour in Israel.
