You put your arms around me and I'm home

"You put your arms around me 
and I believe that it's easier for you to let me go. 
You put your arms around me and I'm home."
-Arms by Christina Perri
 
The first time I heard this song was when I was driving home one day. The guy on the radio got a request for Christina Perri and I thought he was going to play Jar Of Hearts. But instead he played a different song. He played Arms. And I fell so deep in love with it. It is absolutely fantastic. It's a love song and some of the lyrics are very meaningful. The melody is gorgeous. It is such a beautiful song! One of the best I've heard this year. And I like that it's talking about arms. Because sometimes, all you really need is a hug. To be in someone's arms is a great feeling.

S S S and M M M

"I may be bad but I'm perfectly good at it!
Sex in the air I don't care I love the smell of it!
Sticks and stones may break my bones
but chains and whips excite me!"
-S&M by Rihanna
 
S&M is a great song. I love it. It's absolutely fantastic. I personally think the remix with Britney Spears is way way better. First of all, I love Britney Spears. She's amazing. Secondly, her verse has great lyrics. Rihanna's verse that was replaced wasn't very good or interesting. It was unnecessary. And also, Britney brought the S&M to the song S&M. Her verse is actually sexual, unlike Rihanna's. I don't even listen to the original anymore. I have the remix and that's what I'm used to. So when I hear the original on the radio, I really miss Britney in it. I think Rihanna and Britney are both such great artists and I love that they worked together on this song. It's a great song for both of them. I like it like it come on!

From all the music...

I always really like the extremely sad songs and the very sexual songs. And I don't know why. Those are just always my favorites. They're the best!

California King Bed

"Just when I felt like giving up on us, you turn around and give me one last touch. 
That made everything feel better, and even then my eyes got wetter.
So confused, wanna ask you if you love me.
But I don't wanna seem so weak. Maybe I've been California dreaming"
-Rihanna "California King Bed"

This is another beautiful song by Rihanna. I love her upbeat dance tunes, but when she makes a semi-slow song, I think that's when she's at her best. I think her slower songs are her best ones.
This song is a sad love song. It's about falling apart or growing distant from the person you love. But still hoping everything will turn out okay and not wanting to give up. But not knowing how to fix things. Well that's what I got from it, but I'm sure I'm super close. It's a really meaningful song. The lyrics are pretty, and the melody is very nice. And also, her tattoos look great in that picture. I know that doesn't really have anything to do with the song, but still I wanted to point that out. This song is really pleasant to listen to, even though it is sad. I love this song. :)

Blue Orchid

"You got a reaction.
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid.
You took a white orchid, turned it blue."
-The White Stripes, "Blue Orchid"
The White Stripes. They were a pretty good band. They made a lot of music. And I have all of their albums. I have to say, many of their songs sound alike and they blend together to me. But they have some songs that really stand out to me. Blue Orchid is one of my favorites from them. I really like it alot. I think it's one of their lesser-known songs, so check it out if you've never heard of it! It's pretty cool!

Songs Like This

"If it wasn't for guys like you there wouldn't be songs like this.
And if you hadn't gone and done me wrong I wouldn't go off like this."
-"Songs Like This" by Carrie Underwood
I'm not a fan of country music. Sorry, but I just never liked it. Occasionally I'll hear a country song that I like, but that's rare. "Songs Like This" by Carrie Underwood is one of these rare cases. I really like it and I think it's catchy!  I like the meaning of it too. It's about revenge, but the way she says it, the lyrics are really good! Of course I'd like this song way more if it was a different genre, but for a county song, I must say it's pretty good!

You're beautiful, it's true

"You're beautiful. You're beautiful. 
You're beautiful, it's true. 
I saw your face, in a crowded place. 
And I don't know what to do, because I'll never be with you"
-James Blunt "You're Beautiful"
You are beautiful. And this song is beautiful. I love listening to it. When it came out I didn't like it too much, it didn't really stand out to me or grab my attention. But I heard it somewhere recently and it's been playing in my head since then :)  Now I absolutely love it! The melody is so nice and peaceful and the lyrics are so touching. It really is a beautiful song. It's about seeing someone that is so beautiful, but you can't have them or be with them. All you can do is stand back and admire their beauty. You want them, but can't have them. It has some sadness in it as he is singing about how he'll never be with her. He seems hurt, but he's still so awestruck by the beauty he sees :)  It's a great song ♥

"Boy, you're an ALIEN!!"

"Kiss me Ki-Ki-Kiss me! Infect me with your loving Fill me with your poison
Take me Ta-Ta-Take me! I wanna be a victim Ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien! Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural, extra terrestrial"
-"ET" by Katy Perry
I am absolutely obsessed with this song. I listen to it over and over and over again. It is for sure one of my favorite songs of the year.  I definitely think it's one of Katy Perry's best songs. I don't the video is good, but the song is amazing! It's a metaphorical love song, where she compares her boy to an alien. Sounds a bit strange, right? But the lyrics make sense, and I think they're wonderful. The beat sounds like t.A.T.u.'s "All The Things She Said", it's extremely similar. But the melodies are different. "E.T." is such a great song, I'm so incredibly in love with it! I like the version without Kanye West better though. I like his raps, but he just seems so extra and un-needed in it. The version without him flows way better. I can't stop listening to this song!! :)

Castle Walls

"Everyone thinks that I have it all, 
but it's so empty living behind these castle walls.
If I should tumble, If I should fall, 
will anyone hear me screaming behind these castle walls?"
-Castle Walls by T.I. & Christina Aguilera
T.I. is one of my favorite rappers.
Christina Aguilera is one of my favorite singers.
And they made a song together. And it's amazing.
When I found out they worked together, I got so excited. And when I listened to the song, I could not have been more satisfied. "Castle Walls" is perfect!! I absolutely love it. It's definitely one of his best songs. The melody is beautiful. And the lyrics are meaningful and full of emotion. Amazing song. Words can not express how much I love this song!!

Wobble baby Wobble baby Wobble baby

I was at a club and this song came on. There was a big screen where the played the video and I instantly fell in love with it! I thought it was just so awesome. I didn't know what it was called though, or who the artist was. So the next day when a friend was watching some YouTube videos on my laptop, I noticed a thumbnail of a related video that looked like that cool video I saw! I clicked on it, and it was the song!! I was insanely happy. It's called "Wobble" by V.I.C. So here it is for you to watch for yourself! It's fantastic! "Yeaaaaaaaahhhh" :)

"The way of love is a way of war"

I believe that Cher's "The Way Of Love" is one of the best songs ever written. It's an absolutely amazing song. The melody is beautiful and the lyrics are meaningful and honest. It's one of her older songs, it's from the 70's.  You can listen to it right here on YouTube.  It's fantastic. Out of all the music ever created, this is one of my favorite songs ever!!  I love Cher, she's amazing. "The Way Of Love" is such beautiful art. I love listening to it. I can replay it over and over and over again. ♥♥♥♥♥

JUDAS

"I'm just a holy fool oh baby he's so cruel but I'm still in love with Judas baby"
"I wanna love you, but something's pulling me away from you
Jesus is my virtue, but Judas is the demon I cling to"
- "Judas" by Lady Gaga
The first time I heard this song I wasn't impressed. Sure it sounded cool, but nothing about it really made me fall in love with it. But the more I listened to it, the more it grew on me. It got to the point where I would replay it over and over again. (you know how I obsess over songs haha)  Now I love it. It's super catchy and makes me want to bust out in random strange dance moves. I think it's one hundred times better than "Born This Way". I was super super disappointed with that song. It just didn't sound like Lady Gaga at all! But with this one, she definitely redeemed herself in my book. I thought the video was interesting too. Lady Gaga actually looked pretty in some parts. So overall, this song is pretty good. Not Lady Gaga's best, but it's still fun to listen to.

Femme Fetale ♥♥♥

BRITNEY SPEARS. 
I love her. I've always been a huge fan. 
Her new album Femme Fatale is fantastic. I really love it. I wouldn't say it's her best (Blackout is my favorite) but it's one of her best ones. The songs are super catchy and have great melodies and fun beats. I have no idea what my favorite song from this album is. There's just so many wonderful songs! I love the whole sound of this album. The songs are dance, techno, and dubstep all put together. It sounds awesome!
♥♥♥♥♥♥

Patron Tequila

"And by the end of the night Imma have you drunk and throwing up
By the end of the night Imma have you so messed up!"
"and now the party heated, cuz I got a hot girl in the club
I'm feeling so conceited, cuz everybody is giving me love"
-Patron Tequila by Paradiso Girls
The only thing this song is about is getting drunk.
Now, I am not old enough to drink in this county. But I can still enjoy this song. It's super super catchy and the beat is great for dancing. I love the girls' accents too. I think it makes this song sound even cooler. I really like the melody of the verses and the choruses are upbeat and catchy. I've never heard of these girls before. I discovered this song on Pandora radio, but besides that and YouTube, I've never heard this song or anything of this group before anywhere else. I guess when your hit single is about nothing but alcohol then it might be hard to go mainstream. I don't know though. But even though the song didn't do well here, I still really like it. And even if you don't drink, or if you can't, you can still like this song.

"Bad boys, bad boys, ALL WE WANT IS BAD BOYS"

"Treat em like dirt, they'll stick forever to the bottom of your shoe"
"Kid, all good. Just do you but soon you'll see she don't want no goody two shoes"
"You're a nice guy with the wrong attitude, She want a bad boy"
"You're a nice guy but that just won't do, She want a bad boy"
"Just know that she'll be thinking of me even when she's with you"
-Nice Guys Finish Last by Cobra Starhip
The lyrics in this song are fantastic. I'd love to just quote the entire song! haha. 
It's definitely one of my favorites from this band. It's funny, but has a good point. Girls do like bad boys. Don't ask us why though, because we have a hard time explaining that....
This song is from the point of view of a boy being told by a man that the girl he likes want a bad boy, and he's too nice. Well, I don't know how he took the advice, but this song is just great!
I love Cobra Starship. Their songs are funny, entertaining, catchy, and great for dancing and listening. :)

DO IT LIKE A DUDE

"I can do it like a brother, do it like a dude
Grab my crotch, wear my hat low like you"
"Boom boom pull me a beer
No pretty drinks I'm a guy out here
Rollin rollin rollin rollin money like a pimp
my b i t c h 's on my dick like this"
-Jessie J  "Do It Like A Dude"
 
I. Love. This. Song. It's fantastic.
As you can see, it's got some naughty lyrics there. And that picture is kinda scary. And she makes some crazy facial expressions in the video. But, it's a great song. It's so catchy and the beat is awesome. I'm not exactly sure what the song is about...I just interpret it as being as tough and hardcore as a dude. But I could be way off, who knows. I think Jessie J is so freaking pretty. She's a fly chick :)  I love her British accent, but it kinda disappears when she sings. I just love this song. After I heard it the first time, I was so obsessed! I listened to it over and over again for I don't even know how many days. It's one of those songs that when I hear, I have to play it again. I can't listen to it just once. This song is off the chain.
DO IT. 
DO IT. 
LIKE A DUUUUDE.

Chingyyyy

So when I was watching The Haunting of Molly Hartley, there is a scene where she goes to a party. When she's dancing, I noticed there is a really cool song playing. I loved it! So I looked up the track list on the internet. I found out that Chingy's song "U A Freak" was in the movie, and I knew it was from the party scene because once I thought of it, I realized it was his voice. This song makes me want to dance!! I love the beat and the rhythm and the melody. I especially love the beginning. The siren, and then the beat comes in and then Chingyyyy!!  It's just so catchy! I don't understand some of the lyrics, but then again alot of rap songs have lyrics that I don't get...haha!

What the Hell?!

"You're on your knees begging please stay with me
But honestly I just need to be a little crazy
All my life I've been good, but now
I'm thinking What the hell??"
"You say that I'm messing with your head, Boy I like messing in your bed
Yea I am messing with your head, When I'm messing with you in bed"
-What the Hell by Avril Lavigne
I think this song is just perfect. Haha! The melody is so catchy and upbeat and just sounds so good. And the message of the song is also fantastic. It's all about having fun and just doing whatever the hell you want. What's better than that? :D I'm glad that someone made a song about how fun being single is, because a ton of love songs focus on being happy in a relationship or being sad about a breakup. Finally a song that gives being single a good rep!! Haha
Also, look how pretty Avril looks on the cover of that! I never thought of her as a pretty girl but that cover is just gorgeous!

This place about to...

"It's time to kill the lights and shut the dj down
Tonight we're taking over no one's getting out"
"We're pretty and sick
We're young and we're bored"
"Go insane go insane throw some glitter make it rain"
-Blow by Ke$ha
BLOOOOOOOOOW. I really like this song, I think it's  perfect for a club :) Just perfect!
I think the video is so strange though, to a point where it's not creative, it's just weird. I did think Ke$ha looks really pretty in it. Usually I don't think she's pretty. No offense to her! That's just my opinion. But in this video, I was really suprised, I think she just looks wonderful. Her hair is so blonde and shiny....why can't my hair be like that?! And her makeup is super cool. And she has a hoop nose ring which I really love piercings so I thought that was awesome. Oh, and in the video, there are unicorns everywhere!! Only 2 people are not unicorns. Ke$ha, and some attractive guy. And at the end, there's guns that shoot rainbows. Weeeiiird. But the song is so much fun, and it's super catchy. :)

{BI~ON~IC}

I was so late on getting this cd! Christina Aguilera's Bionic album came out June 2010, and I just now got it a few weeks ago. I had to get the explicit version, so I ordered it online after getting really impatient to find it in a store. But now I finally have it!! And OMG I LOVE IT!
I've always been a huge fan of Christina Aguilera ♥♥♥♥♥ This album is just fantastic. It has a dance/techno sound. I love how Christina mixes up genres for each album. I think that is just genius!!And yes, I have all of her studio albums ☺ I love techno, so this album definitely gets 2 thumbs up from me! I'm so sad that it didn't do well in terms of sales and charts and all that. She only had 2 singles from this album, which is so not fair. Almost every song is worthy of being a single!! I love every song on this album. There's great upbeat songs for dancing, and then there's powerful slow songs. There's also some interludes, but I always skip over those on cds. I of course got the deluxe version, and it has 19 songs. They're so awesome!! ahhhh I just love this cd. I'm so happy I finally have it!
