Jessie J - Do It Like A DudeI like this girl because I think she's got charisma. But... I'm not crazy about this song. It grates a little and I just feel like for as much hype as she's getting, she could've come with something more original.
B-The Wanted - Lose My MindTheir debut album was stronger than it had to be and really quite a good listen, but this song has never screamed "single" to me. It's one of their more skippable tracks, particularly because it sounds way too much like Kings of Leon. As an album track, I love it, but I wish it would've stayed that way.
BBruno Mars - GrenadeHe was smart to release this, one of his album's strongest tracks, as a single. If he continues this quality, he's going to have quite a career. The vocals are amazing.
A-Coldplay - Christmas LightsIf any band were made to write a Christmas song, it would be Coldplay (especially after
Clocks). This is somewhat underwhelming, mostly because it really doesn't sound like Christmas at all. That's probably the point, but to me it's a missed opportunity.
C+Sugarland - Stuck Like GlueI first heard this a couple of months ago and thought: "hey, this country song could totally cross over to pop radio." And it did. It's dangerously catchy. I'm not even sure if I like it, but I can't resist it, which means once it becomes even more ubiquitous I'm sure I'll hate it. For now, it's an
A-Wiz Khalifa - Black And YellowI was all prepared to hate this, but the beat's actually really good and the hook's not bad either. I could see this easily pulling 50 Cent
In Da Club type success and crossing over. It's not really my thing, but for what it is it's solid.
BNatalia Kills - MirrorsThis reminds me a little of what Lady Gaga sounded like when she first came out. It's great, but the only problem is that we have a Lady Gaga already and it's just a little too similar. Even the vocal delivery is the same. That being said, I'm liking this more each time I hear it. A week ago this would've been a B- at most. Now it's a
B+
