Postby MessengerOfDreams » August 17th, 2010, 7:01 pm

Welcome to a new segment with a new aspiring music critic!

In this segment, uhm... T_Boy... *snickers uncontrollably* and I will send each other 3 songs we like, then the other reviews the songs. Considering our very opposing music tastes, this will be very entertaining, aye?

Well, let's waste no time!

Florence + The Machines - Dog Days Are Over

Review
Honestly, this song...I just couldn't hear it... I haven't listened to it. I need to get the beat and tune in my head, but it's just.....not getting their. Is this their best work? I can't completely agree.

Linkin Park - The Catalyst

Review
Wow! This song...it just seemed quite amazing to me! It may be a new favorite! *puts song on list of songs need to be downloaded on itunes* It was amazing throughout the entire song! I mean, I just think it's amazing I'm listening to it now. It has a beat and a tune that gets stuck in my head! (Dang, In My Head is in my head....AAARRGH!!)

B+

Flo Rida - Club Can't Handle Me (Ft. David Guetta)

*T_Boy's Songs reviewed by Me*

Single Ladies- Beyonce

Ah, Single Ladies. The All-too-famous song that takes the dignity away from any guy caught with that on his MP3 Player, especially when he sings it by accident.

Now, don't get me wrong, I love the beat. The beat is a total dance tune. And in all fairness, the lyrics are OK. They would be empowering if I were a girl. To be honest, I can't really enjoy this song cause it's very focused on one gender. It's aimed to empower women, especially ones with toolbox ex-boyfriends. For guys... it's just a dance track.

My rating: C

California Gurls- Katy Perry ft. Snoop Dogg

Let's start with the positive. The concept of a West Coast "Empire State Of Mind" is very cool. Go Us on the West Coast. But while Jay-Z gave us reasons aplenty, some good, some bad, and didn't necessarily glorify New York, Katy Perry gives us a song that ultimately sings one lyric in 20 different ways "California Girls are hot. Love us now."

It's bland. Sure, the tune is... not bad, but the song is just so repetitive. And the rapping style of Snoop Dogg... it's like they freaking took the awesomeness out of Snoop and made him rap like B.o.B. That's not his style.

Overall, it's Boring and repetitive with a reason that sucks to begin with. It's a bad song.

My rating: D-

Imma Be- Black Eyed Peas

The Lyrics are OK. Let's get that out of the way. The lyrics are only OK. Fergie sings typical song lyrics, and as a matter of fact, so do the rest.

But the music is the strength. The Black Eyed Peas have constructed one of the strongest dance tracks ever. Every beat is danceable even by the worst novice (me) and is just all-around enjoyable, especially towards the end, so much that you don't really pay attention to the lyrics.

Rating: B-

My latest story, and one of my personal favorites. A girl bound in silence finds the words to say to her prospective girlfriend as they visit her religious father in a dusty town on the edge of Kansas, where the crows' migration south brings forth anchored memories, the path to resolution, and a new start.
