jesse mccartney's "HOW DO YOU SLEEP"

hey.
it seems that jmac hasn't graduated from teeny-bopper songs yet.
with his new song, who would suspect that he is already 20 something?
not a fan since then but the song is damn catchy like his song beautiful song.
so far so good for jesse.
not a fan but i like it.
there.

kelly clarkson's "MY LIFE WOULD SUCK WITHOUT YOU"

hey.
after resting for months, the original american idol is back with her still spunky songs.
now she's ready to kick some ass with her latest single "my life would suck without you".
she will always be a good singer.
she is able to belt out really high tunes and yet she's still likeable.
(trivia: i am not so fond of the charice pempengco type. they make my ears bleed.)
she is a good cross between a rock and a pop singer that's why she hit the mainstream.
okay.
so i guess, kelly clarkson is really here( i mean in the music industry, stupid) to stay.
she may not be the most good-looking idol but atleast she's one of the best and she is the only one to sold millions of albums.
kudos.
so there.

the white tie affair's "CANDLE"

obviously, this is a new band.
the first time i heard them, i really thought that they're a cross between the all-american rejects and enrique iglesias, you know him? the latino singer?
what i like about them is that they are fresh and well -fresh.
i dunno, i like the song but it's not that appealing to hit the mainstream.
i see another one-hit wonder here.
so there.
better be good, white tie affair.

fall out boy's "AMERICA'S SUITEHEARTS"

i love the song and the video.
the first time i heard and saw the video, i was really amazed.
i love the colorful video, it's so interesting.
and hey, the girl in the video who looks like ashley simpson, pete wentz' wife was Cassadee Pope, the singer from Hey Monday. just for those people who are asking. hehe.
the songs a bit theatrical but i am not minding that because i really enjoy the song.
i have always loved fall out boy.
they always give us weird yet interesting videos.
kudos to them.
how i wish i can go to their concert here in the philippines and it's on february 13, 2009.

nickelback's "SOMETHING IN YOUR MOUTH"

the title is so kewl.
hehehehe.
green-minded people, unite.
i have always loved nickelback eversince.
now they're back with a new song that is so green. hahaha.
i love the line in the chorus. it is so naughty.

"And tease them all by sucking on your thumb,
You're so much cooler when you never pull it out,
'Cause you look so much cuter
With something in your mouth"

i love that line. it's as if he is suggesting something really really naughty.
hehehehe.
anyways, i love the song especially the really kewl lyrics.
i think i'm gonna sing this song for a while.
so there.

shiny toy guns' "GHOST TOWN"

what a gwen stefani wanna-be.
why not try to be a better version, i mean gwen stefani is gwen stefani so why copy her?
hehehe.
honestly, it sounded more like a cheer song than a rock song.
add to that the really annoying cheering drumbeats. argh.
but i love the transition. from the cheeky beats to the sick nasty beats. i love that.
the girl massacred the song.
in my own opinion, the guy sings better than the girl.
he should have sang the song alone.
i think he'll nail it alone. hehehehe.
it's neither lovable nor hateful.

rating: 2 stars (granted that the boy sings well.)
