Nero - Promises
This is by far my favorite single they've released. It's got the poppiest song structure yet, but an indie edge reminiscent of La Roux. This just screams "crossover hit" to me. A-
Joe Jonas - Love Slayer
Well, it's certainly a jump into the dance/r&b genre for him, but like the first solo track, this has a gaping hole where melody should be. Listen to Darin's Love Killer instead. You won't be missing anything here. D+
JLS - She Makes Me Wanna
This is actually a lot better than most of the stuff they've released. It's nowhere near classic, and is completely trendy/derivative, but for what it is, it's alright. I wouldn't switch the radio if this was on. It's very similar to the Wanted's new single, though (and that one's better). B
Lil' Wayne (ft. Drake) - She Will
I've never really had any interest in Lil' Wayne. I honestly don't even know how to review this, since it's really not my thing at all. I guess it's alright? Pretty dirgy, though, for a rap song that's #1 on itunes. C-
Olly Murs (ft. Rizzle Kicks) - Heart Skips A Beat
Another artist I don't like (he's annoying). But, I've got to admit that I sort of like this song. You really can't tell it's Olly Murs. I wish it wasn't, because then I'd probably love it. As it stands, it's still quite enjoyable. Although I do find it really strange that Rizzle Kicks agreed to be featured on this. B+
Jessie J - Who's Laughing Now
I definitely like this better than her last single, which I hated, but there's still something totally missing in this popstar package for me. The laughing parts are so freaking scary sounding. I feel like the chorus slightly lets down the verses, too. But I do like the video. C+
Example - Stay Awake
Well, it's not as epic as his last single (one of the best of the summer), but this is still very good. I'm obsessed with Example's sound, and really believe that it could be as popular over here as it is in the UK. This is growing on me with each listen. A-

JESSIE J - Domino (Latest Single)
Jessie J]
I'm feeling sexy and free
Like glitter's raining on me
You like a shot of pure gold
I think I'm 'bout to explode
I can taste the tension like a cloud of smoke in the air
Now I'm breathing like I'm running cause you're taking me there
Don't you know...you spin me out of control
Ooh ooh ooh
[Chorus]
We can do this all night
Turn this club, skin tight
Baby come on
Pull me like a bass drum
Sparkin' up a rhythm
Baby, come on!
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Rock my world into the sunlight
Make this dream the best I've ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
Every second is a highlight
When we touch don't ever let me go
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
[Jessie J]
You got me loosing my mind
My heart beats out of time
I'm seeing Hollywood stars
You stroke me like a guitar
I can taste the tension like a cloud of smoke in the air
Now I'm breathing like I'm running cause you're taking me there
Don't you know...you spin me out of control
Ooh ooh ooh
[Chorus]
We can do this all night
Turn this club, skin tight
Baby come on
Pull me like a bass drum
Sparkin' up a rhythm
Baby, come on!
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Rock my world into the sunlight
Make this dream the best I've ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
Every second is a highlight
When we touch don't ever let me go
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
[Bridge]
Ooh baby baby got me feeling so right
Ooh baby baby dancing in the moonlight
Ooh baby baby got me feeling so right
Ooh baby baby dancing in the moonlight
Ooh baby baby got me feeling so right
Ooh baby baby dancing in the moonlight
[Outro]
Rock my world into the sunlight
Make this dream the best I've ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
Every second is a highlight
When we touch don't ever let me go
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
JESSIE J - Who You Are
Who You Are
I stare at my reflection in the mirror...
Why am I doing this to myself?
Losing my mind on a tiny error,
I nearly left the real me on the shelf ...
"no,no, no, no..."
Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay...
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart.
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
Just be true to who you are
(Who you are)x11
Brushing my hair, do I look perfect?
I forgot what to do to fit the mould , yeah!
The more I try the less it's working yeah yeah yeah
Cause everything inside me screams, "no,no,no,no..."
Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart.
But tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
There's nothing wrong with who you are!
Yes, no, egos
Fake shows like woah
Just go, and leave me alone
Real talk real life
Good love goodnight
With a smile that's my home
That's my home
Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart.
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
Just be true to who you are
Who you are
JESSIE J - L.O.V.E.
Okay maybe this is the day that I have to writte a song about love, it's about time
L O, L, O, L, O, L.O.V.E, love
I said I'd never write a song about love
But when it feels this cool
A song fits like a glove
When you hold me, and you tell me, that you missed me, and called me milky
Fuck it, I'm gonna write a song about love, yeh
You're my key, you unlock me
Keep me close, keep me safe, keep me happy
So sweet, oh love
It's destiny, so nothing stops me
I'll tell the world that you're mine and you got me
So sweet, oh love
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love
L.O.V.E, love
See love doesn't choose a boy or a girl
When I met you, you hold my heart and fill my world
So you can stay, I don't care
Ou are the one who fill my world
So fuck it, I'm a be honested with you, ooh, yeh yeh
You're my key, you unlock me
Keep me close, keep me safe, keep me happy
So sweet, oh love
It's destiny, so nothing stops me
I'll tell the world that you're mine and you got me
So sweet, oh love
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love
L.O.V.E, love
My best friend, that makes me laught
The puzzle pieces fits exactly my heart
I've never felt this way, sometimes I'm stock with what to said
You hold my hand when we're drivin
And dry my tears if I'm cryin
And we just laugh if we're fightin
I love you, You love me more, I love you more more, You love me more, I love you more,
I love you more, I love you more, yeh yeh
Love love love love
Ok so I actually wrote a love song about someone and it's completely honest
It's just a me so nothing stops me
I'll tell the world that you're mine and you got me
So sweet, oh love
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love
It's about time
L.O.V.E, love
L.O.V.E...
JESSIE J - Mamma Knows Best
Well there is something going down
Like the storm in the sky
I ain't gonna be played by your behavior
How can I trust someone who's lying to me, so
Bow out, go!
Now I said bow out, leave!
I said take your stuff and go,
'Cuz you're not for me
Mama knows best when times get hard
And papa always has a joke to make me laugh
Mama knows best when
I feel down, to bring me up
And always keep my feet on the ground
Say I know know know
That you can pick up and drop,
And all of this inconsistent love
I think it's about time that it stops
So bow out, go!
Now I said bow out, leave!
I said take a bow and go,
'Cuz you're not for me
Mama knows best when times get hard
And papa always has a joke to make me laugh
Mama knows best when
I feel down, to bring me up
And always keep my feet on the ground
Just keep the best of ma'
Daddy said to me
Always use humor as your therapy, yeah
Don't ever take life too seriously,
Just do you, 'cuz you do you so perfectly
Mama, mama knows best
Daddy, daddy knows best

JESSIE J - Who's Laughing Now
Mummy, they called me names, they wouldn't let me play,
I run home, sit & cry almost every day,
"Hey Jessica, you look like an alien,
With green skin, you don't fit in this playpen"
Oh they pulled my hair, they took away my chair,
I keep it in and pretend that I didn't care
"Hey Jessica, you're so funny,
You've got teeth just like Bugs Bunny"
Oh, so you think you know me now?
Have you forgotten how you would make me feel when you dragged my spirit down?
But thankyou for the pain,
It made me raise my game,
And I'm still rising, I'm still rising!
(Yeah)
So make your jokes,
Go for broke,
Blow your smoke,
You're not alone,
But who's laughing now?
But who's laughing now?
So raise the bar,
Hit me hard,
Play your cards,
Be a star,
But who's laughing now?
But who's laughing now?
'Cos I'm in LA
You think I've made my fame,
If it makes us friends,
When you only really know my name,
"Oh Jessie, we knew you could make it,
I've got a track & I'd love for you to take it"
So, now because I'm signed,
You think my pocket's lined,
4 years down & I'm still waiting in the line,
"Oh Jessie, I saw you on YouTube,
I tagged old photos from when we was at school!"
Oh, so you think you know me now?
Have you forgotten how you would make me feel when you dragged my spirit down?
But thankyou for the pain,
It made me raise my game,
And I'm still rising, I'm still rising!
(Yeah)
So make your jokes,
Go for broke,
Blow your smoke,
You're not alone,
But who's laughing now?
But who's laughing now?
So raise the bar,
Hit me hard,
Play your cards,

But who's laughing now?
But who's laughing now?

She broke out of the box!
Swallowed your pride, you got that ego cough
Let the haters hate!
You're like way too late!
I look to see I got a message from you
"HOLA! I'm proud of you!"
"Oh my god babe, your voice is like wow"
My reply? WHO'S LAUGHING NOW!
Oh, so you think you know me now?
Have you forgotten how you would make me feel when you dragged my spirit down?
But thankyou for the pain,

And I'm still rising, I'm still rising!

Rainbow
Jessie J
He grew up in the city
Had a lot of money
Sponging off his daddy all the time
He lives in a bubble
Never had to struggle
He's far from the benefit line
But he feels blue sometimes
And he blood bleeds red like mine
The grass is greener on the other side
What I'm saying is we're all alike
We're the colours of the rainbow (yeah, yeah)
Let's share our pot of gold
We're the colours of the rainbow (yeah, yeah)

The sun up in the sky as we rock with the stars
We just can't keep fighting anymore
No, no, no
We're the colours of the rainbow (yeah, yeah)
Lets share our pot of gold
We're the colours of the rainbow (yeah, yeah)
Everybody's on the yellow brick road

JESSIE J - Casualty of Love
Casualty of Love
Verse 1: we may not have the answers
I know that we can change some of the things that are beyond our control
And the vision of us might be blurry
But choose your heart to see
Just follow the beat, the rhythm will lead you right back to me
Pre-chorus: sometimes it's a game of give and take
It's easy to break
But hold on and wait
Have a little faith
Chorus: I will go down to the last round
I'll be your strength to find you when you get lost in the crowd
So I'll stand up tall if by chance I fall
Then I'll go down as a casualty of love
Verse 2: the battle of us will be simple
Escape without being hurt
Cause love is shield, it keeps us concealed
From what could get even worse
So baby let me be your soldier
Don't be overtaken by pride
Just close your eyes, take my hand
I promise to keep us alive
Pre-chorus: sometimes it's a game of give and take
It's easy to break
But hold on and wait
Have a little faith
Chorus: I will go down to the last round
I'll be your strength to find you when you get lost in the crowd
So I'll stand up tall if by chance I fall
Then I'll go down as a casualty of love
Bridge: all is fair
In love and war
Knock me down
And I'll get back up once more
Through the fire and rain
It makes me numb from the pain
That's the price, that's the price, to pay
JESSIE J - Big White Room (Live)
Sitting in a big white room alone,
Tilt my head and feel the tears roll down.
Cause my eyes can't see in the dark,
I feel numb, broken, and so so scared. (mmm)
I don't wanna be here anymore,
I wanna be somewhere else,
Roaming free, like I used to be. oh
But I have to stay in this big white room,
With little old me...[X2:]
I'm going crazy,
I'm losing my mind.
I'm going crazy,
In this big white room of mine.
Sitting in a big white room alone,
Close the door,
Don't want the pain to come in.
(No no no no no no)
I catch my tears,
And try to stay strong.
I cry, but feel sick.
My heart is beating out of control.
Can I run more faster than you?
JESSIE J - Abracadabra

JESSIE J - Nobody's Perfect (AUDIO)
When I'm nervous I have this thing yeah I talk too much
Sometimes I just can't shut the hell up
It's like I need to tell someone anyone who'll listen
And that's where I seem to fuck up, yeah
I forget about the consequences, for a minute there I lose my senses
And in the heat of the moment my mouth's starts going the words start flowing
But I never meant to hurt you, I know it's time that I learnt to
Treat the people I love like I wanna be loved
This is a lesson learnt and I hate that I let you down and I feel so bad about it
I guess karma comes back around cause now I'm the one that's hurting yeah
And I hate that I made you think that that the trust we had is broken
So don't tell me you can't forgive me
Cause nobody's perfect, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
If I could turn back the hands of time
I swear I never wanna cross that line
I should of kept it between us but no I went and told the whole world how I feel and oh
So I sit and I realise with these tears falling from my eyes
I gotta change if I wanna keep you forever
Promise that I'm gonna try
But I never meant to hurt you, I know it's time that I learnt to
Treat the people I love like I wanna be loved
This is a lesson learnt and I hate that I let you down and I feel so bad about it
I guess karma comes back around cause now I'm the one that's hurting yeah
And I hate that I made you think that that the trust we had is broken
So don't tell me you can't forgive me
Cause nobody's perfect, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not a saint no not at all, but what I did it wasn't cool
But I swear that I'll never do it again to you
I'm not a saint, no not at all, but what I did it wasn't cool
And I hate that I let you down, and I feel so bad about it
I guess karma comes back around cause now I'm the one that's hurting yeah
And I hate that I made you think that that the trust we had is broken
So don't tell me you can't forgive me
Cause nobody's perfect, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
And I hate that I let you down and I feel so bad about it
I guess karma comes back around and I'm the one that's hurting, yeah
And I hate that I made you think that the trust we had is broken
So don't tell me you can't forgive me
Cause nobody's
perfect.
Pop Blitz 4/29/11 (UK Edition)
In honor of the Royal Wedding (which I really don't care about), today's Pop Blitz only features music from the UK (which I really care about!)
The Feeling - Set My World On Fire
The formerly popular soft-rockers return with an uplifting, breezy single that has an undeniable chorus. This could easily be irritating, but I'm really loving it. It's got such a buoyant sound. A-
Nero - Guilt
A dark, sleazy beat supports airy vocals. It's an interesting contrast and sets this club track apart from all of the other hundreds out there. Not a classic, but very enjoyable. B+
Wretch 32 - Unorthodox
This features Example, which can only be a good thing, but still fails to make much of an impact (even with a hooky Stone Roses sample). At least it's not offensive to the ears like many similar tracks are. B-
Clare Maguire - The Shield And The Sword
Maguire's singles just keep getting better (and there are plenty more ready on her album). This is slightly more uptempo than her releases thus far, with a powerful, grandiose melody. A
Olly Murs - Busy
Well, if you've heard his other singles (or any of Jason Mraz's), you've heard this. I really have a bit of a thing against this "back porch" throwaway rock. It's supposed to be "chill" and everything, but it just fizzles into nothing. C
Jessie J - Nobody's Perfect
I've yet to understand any of the hype surrounding this artist. Her first single was alright, the second was horrible, and this one goes nowhere. I still don't get why people like this. C-
Birdy - Skinny Love
Now this seems a little more special, especially taking in the artist's age (she's only 14). The song's a cover, but the voice is the true standout here. With only a piano for support, it's really pretty stunning. A-
I've had my say, now it's time for yours! What's your favorite song of this week's blitz?

Pop Blitz 3/17/11
George Michael - True Faith
Michael comes back with a midtempo track (a cover of the New Order hit) that overuses vocoder effects. He's got one of the best pop voices of all time, so what's with the electronics? And why can't we get something more uptempo (or at least with a better melody)? C-
Glee Cast - Loser Like Me
Glee remains as frustrating as it is entertaining. There's more potential than this radio-friendly track displays, but it's not bad, either. Next time, they need to opt for a more unique sound that capitalizes on their use of choral harmonies. B
Selena Gomez - Who Says
It's a brief (hopefully) pit stop to "uplifting" Taylor Swift-esque material for the Disney star. It's actually not as bad as I feared. The production's catchy enough, but I wish it was in another language so that I couldn't understand the lame lyrics. C+
The Wanted - Gold Forever
They're really building up a strong set of singles. This is the exact direction I was hoping they'd follow -- more electronic, more dramatic and uptempo. It's a promising sign for their second album, whenever they decide to release it. A
Martin Solveig & Dragonette - Hello
If this is what it takes to give Dragonette a world-wide audience, I'm totally okay with it. It's not the band's best track (and yeah, I know it's Solveig's song, but it sounds enough like Dragonette to be classified as such), but even their average material is heads above most everything else. A-
Jessie J - Price Tag
Honestly, isn't the chorus to this exactly the same as Pink's "F**king Perfect" (another song that completely underwhelmed me)? I just don't get the hype over this. It's dull, predictable and forgettable. What am I missing? C+
Black Eyed Peas - Just Can't Get Enough
How can one band be responsible for both some of the worst songs and best songs on the past few years? This isn't close to their low point (that would be previous single, the vomitatious "The Time (Dirty Bit)") but it's no "I Gotta Feeling," either. It's simply alright. B-
