Hey HP, only 2 more blogs until the new year :).
There is nothing new to report on the Hot 100 this week; so this week’s blog is all about the jukebox (as it should be-lol). I liked the Kat DeLuna songs that I heard in the jukebox lately – good dance music is always a good thing. I also really liked Stone Sour’s “Hesitate”.
I didn’t like ANY of the songs by Black Eyed Peas (which is too bad). I liked Rihanna’s “Man Down” (submitted by Nina). I don’t have the album yet; but it’s just yet another reason for me to get it. I liked Forever The Sickest Kids’ “Keep On Bringing Me Down”. I would say that I like Enrique’s song, “Tonight”, but I can’t say that because it sounded very similar to “I Like It”. I used to like R. Kelly’s music; but I think he is going downhill faster than a Dallas Cowboy. I liked Switchfoot’s “Bullet Soul”. I also liked Art of Dying’s “Die Trying” and the Sick Puppies’ “Riptide”. I didn’t like Popular‘s “Huey Mack.”
I liked Micheal Jackson’s “Hollywood Tonight” and I wish he was around to see it be successful. I thought Miranda Cosgrove’s “Dancing Crazy” was ok. Since it’s the Holiday season, I also liked Family Force 5’s version of “Carol of the Bells” – it was nice to see a different take on the song. I played the Emmy Rossum version on my show the other night. My favorite song of the week was Michelle Branch (ft Timbaland)’s “Getaway” – it’s nice to see her back and they made a really good song together! She was doing country type stuff for awhile and I just wasn’t feeling it. I hope the other songs off this album are more like this one. As far as worst song of the week, there wasn’t a specific song that stood out for me as “god, this song is awful”; but the ones I voted as bad, were pretty bad – let’s just leave it at that. There was way too much country and rap in the jukebox this week (for me anyway) and I know my music settings aren’t set for either one of those.
