2010 Summer Hits

My 1st entry of this blog, and it's summer now. (Really hot in HK!) So let's talk about SUMMER SONG! These days, I went cycling, camping, hiking, also to the beach, theme park etc. All are outdoor activities and what songs hv I played on my Ipod-touch while travelling?

2010 Summer Hits

My own choices:
1. California Gurls - Katy Perry ft. Snoop Dogg

I bet we all agree that this is one of our most successful 2010 summer hits. 6 weeks on the top spot of Billboard Hot 100 so far. First, its lyrics kill it! “Palm trees, golden coast, daisy dukes, bikinis, sun-kissed skin, popsicle”. Second, the melody is fun, relaxing and upbeat. Not to mention its music video, we can’t forget the bird-Flipping Gummi Bear & Katy's Whipped Cream Bra. I really want to spend some days in California!




2. Your Love Is My Drug - Ke$ha

I thought it'd be a huge summer hits, but it turned out to be 3weeks No.8; 2weeks No.7; 2weeks No.4 on Hot 100. Who knows that there’re so many competitors among it, esp California Gurls. Although the lyrics of this song are only related to love but not summertime, the melody is not less upbeat than Katy’s one. Most importantly, YLIMD is a lot funnier than CG. For example, the paragraph Ke$ha raps out; she laughs at last and says “I like your beard”.
Our summer needs to be fun, this song actually helps! Comparing to CG, Katy just sings the song but losing her unique voice & personality (like her voice in "I kissed a girl" & "Waking Up In Vegas").


3. TiK ToK - Ke$ha & I Gotta Feeling – Black Eyed Peas
Perhaps these 2 songs are quite out-dated but I never stop listening to them since they’re released.
“Wake up in the morning feeling like P.Diddy, Don’t stop Make it pop”
“Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Saturday to Sunday. Party every day, p-p-party every day"
It’s PARTY anthem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never get bored ;]


4. Airplanes - B.o.B ft. Hayley Williams
I listen to this song boz of Hayley Williams. B.o.B? I dun know much about him but in this song, I dun know why, I think he is likely to Eminem.
Btw: instrumental of this song is awesome!

5. Nothin’ On You – B.o.B ft. Bruno Mars
Love this song so much! Bruno Mars’s voice is fu*king sexy. <3 I kinda believe that he'll become popular fall 2010 or spring 2011. He's talented.
Still dun care about B.o.B…




6. Billionaire – Travie McCoy ft. Bruno Mars
Bruno Mars again!!! Yes, I’ve gone crazy a little bit… Back to the song, Travie did a great job. I like its lyrics as well.





7. Take It Off - Ke$ha
This SHOULD be a summer hits!!!!!! An awesome song can be played in disco, club, beach, party and of coz, on the radio! Those bases from the intro/opening work the song out! Incredibly catchy! They’re likely to our heartbeats. “thump thump thump thump…”
Every time I listen to this song, I pop my chest! Ha! Everybody should dance to this song. And the promotional photoshot of the music video is pure perfect! An new image of K$. Can’t wait any longer.




Summer single/hit I dun like:

1. Alejandro - Lady Gaga
I love this song since “The Fame Monster” came out. But single for the summer??? Gaga team….. U obviously made a mistake. I know this is catchy but the mood is kinda sad. I don’t wanna be sad in summer -.- And the music video sucks!!! Gaga… maybe u should release it in winter. I played this song several times tho. “Hot like Mexico rejoice” YEAH!

2. O.M.G - Usher ft. will.i.am
OMFG! This song is fu*king annoying!!!!! Why does it still on Billboard??? Go away…… I remember that when this song spotted No.1, I said “OMG”! To say this is one of our summer songs, it’d rather to be the World-cup themed song. The “oh, oh, oh, oh, oh …..” backing vocals make me feel like I’m a spectator in the football court.

3. You Lost Me - Christina Aguilera
More or less the same as Lady Gaga. Wrong single choice. Who wanna listen to a slow sad ballad in the summer which is full of excitement? This song helps nothing to her flopping album... Actually, she should release "Woohoo" or "Bionic"! Her performance on MTV Movie Awards 2010 is amazing (no matter she lip-syned or not). She looks beautiful in her coming music video tho.




Possible hits for this summer:

1. Love The Way You Lie - Eminem ft. Rihanna
2. Dynamite – Taio Cruz
3. I Like It – Enrique Iglesias ft. Pitbull
4. Your Love - Nicki Minaj
5. Club Can't Handle Me - Flo Rida ft. David Guetta
6. Teenage Dream - Katy Perry
