In short: I think hit music right now is probably better than at any time in the past two decades (which isn’t necessarily saying much). The electronica and R & B influences mix together in a non-boring and very pleasant way. If I were bigger on lyrics, I might come to a very different conclusion because, generally speaking, the intellectual depth consists of raising glasses and rocking clubs.
Songs I like, in no order:
- Rihanna - what’s my name; only girl (in the world)
- Black Eyed Peas - just can’t get enough
- Bruno Mars - talking to the moon; grenade
- Cee Lo Green - forget (fuck) you
- Britney Spears - till the world ends (yes, seriously)
- Usher - dj got us fallin’ in love again
Songs that make me want to pull my ears off:
- Lady Gaga - you and I
- Maroon 5 & Christina Aguilera - move like jagger
- pretty much everything by Ke$ha
Coming into this, I expected that Adelle and Lady Gaga would be the only ones I might find interesting, but neither have done anything for me. I expected to despise Katy Perry but I don’t, at all. But I still hate Nickelback.
