* Broken Hearted Girl *

Advantages: Voice , Lyrics
Disadvantages: None!

I was never a fan of Beyonce , not even when she was in Destiny's Child , although I will admit that I used to absolutely love some of their songs such as Survivor , Emotion and Lose My Breath. It was only since 'If I Were A Boy' came out that I really took notice of Beyonce. Soon after came Halo and I soon became a fan of Beyonce , even going to the effort of buying her album , "I Am...Sasha Fierce!". I absolutely love the album , and I loved the ...
...before it was released as a single. Broken Hearted is the 17th solo single from Beyonce and is taken off her latest album "I Am Sasha Fierce!". The single was released on August 28th 2009 and is currently at number 33 in the British Single Charts. Broken Hearted is obviously about a girl who is Broken Hearted so it has quite an emotional feel to it. The Europop styled ballad starts off with some strong piano chords which proceed to pounce throughout ...

Incredibly annoying song, by an incredibly annoying woman

Advantages: Good as a tea coaster
Disadvantages: everything, can't sing live

...Cole the week after performs Fight for this love. The following week they are both Number 1. Robbie Williams didn't have as much luck, possibly as the song isn't brilliant and he sang live. I still find it hard to believe a judge on a singing competition can just get up and mime her own song. If I was a contestant and she criticised my vocal abiliity, I'd say "At least I'm singing." It is a song that is getting overplayed, and I feel Cheryl cole ...
...of David Beckham with adverts all wanting her to promote their products. I am just not keen on the woman, as a judge nor as a credible singer, though I have always liked girls aloud. I can remember when Milli Vannili got slaughtered for miming in the 1980's. That was slightly different as someone else was singing. I just think if a singing contests promotes miming, then the contest itself has lost all credibillity as the singers will win, just ...

* Just Wanna Be Happy *

Advantages: Voice , Lyrics
Disadvantages: None!

...cracking new single! Happy is the seventh single from Leona Lewis and will be released in the United Kingdom on 8th November 2009. This single will also be her latest album , Echo's worlwide lead single. This song was written by Ryan Tedder , Evan 'Kidd' Bogart and Leona. Four minutes and two seconds long , this song comes under the Pop and R&B genres. Happy is a beautiful ballad taken from the album Echo. The first verse starts off the song quietly ...
...and happier. I think Happy is a song that absolutely everyone can relate to , because everyone needs some happiness in their lives. The video revolves around Leona who is in love with a guy , who then tells her that he only sees her as a friend and goes on to marry another woman. I think that everyone will be able to connect with the 'story' in the video. I like the positive message that Leona sends out with song and video , which is although she ...

Just Way Too Fonky

Advantages: Lots of bangers
Disadvantages: One average track

...DJ, producer and rapper DJ Quik made his debut as he released “Quik Is The Name”. It finds the Compton, Los Angeles, California-born artist coming with some fresh material that is seen to take from the lead of the likes of Col 187um and Dr. Dre with this then-new G-Funk sound that would take over the Wes coast’s Rap scene through that decade. 1. “Sweet Black P***y” He gets the thing underway with a fairly impactful tune as you find that he makes ...
...through with some highly sexually-explicit raps which have him ridging some of the funkiest production that you could have heard at the time to ensure that he bursts through in just the way that is required to get the job done and get his name out there form the get-go. **Five Stars** 2. “Tonite” As he keeps it all rolling through this one you find that he comes out with a joint that has him jumping on top of his fly grooves that show how strong ...

A Thrilling, Inspirational Piece - Main Source's Breaking Atoms

Advantages: Groundbreaking, great concept songs; responsible for Nas' birth in hip hop
Disadvantages: A tad bit on the overrated side; does not age well

...to me that Main Source's Breaking Atoms, released in 1991, is an unarguable classic album and should be ranked in the top 20 or perhaps even top 10 to some, which is heavy praise. For a long time I was unable to listen to the album because for a decade and a half, it was not only out of print, but impossible to find even in mp3 form. On April 22nd, 2008, the album was finally re-issued and thousands of hardcores could finally get their paws on it. ...
...tons of extraordinary material on Breaking Atoms, but I just don't feel it's that good. What I find most interesting is that a lot of the praise that Breaking Atoms leans more towards the production of the album as opposed to the rhyming, a statement that I quite frankly disagree with. Most of the beats are of the late 80s boom-bap variety, but you can see the bridge being built between the boom-bap and the string melody-heavy mid-90s hip hop sound, ...
