Papi- Jennifer Lopez

This is a great song and is extremely catchy. The song mixes her background with her slightly mainstream focused song really well. The music video is very entertaining and it is just another great song, Papi by Jennifer Lopez. At 3:50 I feel like it's a J-low version of the Micheal Jackson Thriller dance, so I hope you enjoy!

Sweeter- Gavin DeGraw

This isn't the music video yet, but I liked the up beat rhythm and I thought that the song was pretty nice. I wouldn't say this is his best piece, but it does sound pretty cool. This song, Sweeter by Gavin DeGraw, is very catchy, too! Even if you don't really like the song, the rhythm will still stick with you. Take a look, see what you think!

Invisible- Skylar Grey (Lyrics+ Music Video)

I take these pills
To make me thin
I dye my hair
And cut my skin
I try everything
To make them see me
But all they see
Is someone that's not me

Even when I'm walking on a wire
Even when I set myself on fire
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
Every day I try to look my best
Even though inside I'm such a mess
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible

Here inside
I cry like hell
You cannot hear
My cries for help
I try everything, yeah
To make them see me
But everyone
Sees what I can't be

Even when I'm walking on a wire
Even when I set myself on fire
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
Everyday I try to look my best
Even though inside I'm such a mess
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible

Sometimes when I'm alone
I pretend that I'm a queen
It's almost believable

Even when I'm walking on a wire
Even when I set myself on fire
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
Every day I try to look my best
Even though inside I'm such a mess
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible

Love The Way You Lie- Skylar Grey

Here is another version of this very popular song, I love the Way You Lie. Skylar Grey was one of the original writers of this song, but her version was never released with Eminem. Skylar sings the same version as Rihanna has, I love The Way You Lie Part 2, except she does it with much gentler then Rihanna's version. There is also the version with Eminem's rap, I Love The Way You Lie by Skylar Grey ft. Eminem. I really liked Skylar's version the best. Hope you enjoy!

Wish You Were Here- Avril Lavigne

Here is another great song by Avril Lavigne. She has so much talent and is still putting it to good use by making songs that aren't loaded up with auto tune and lots of background noise. Her voice accompanied by the instruments not the other way around. I hope you enjoy a terrific song by Avril Lavigne- Wish You Were Here. Let me know what you think!

Remind Me- Brad Paisley duet with Carrie Underwood

I don't like country as much as any other genre, but I thought this was a really nice duet between Brad and Carrie. I think it was not has thick country as many other songs and had a great melody. This song gets stuck in your head very easily and is very good. I hope you enjoy this, even all the non-country fans. It even has a nice small guitar part and solo.  Remind Me- Brad Paisley duet with Carrie Underwood.

Invisible- Skylar Grey

The music video for this song was just posted yesterday. Unlike a lot of the other songs, it doesn't have as many hits, but she has a really amazing voice and message. This song is really meaningful and a lot people could relate to this at least once in there life. Skylar Grey has been featured in many recent songs including I Need A Doctor- By Dr. Dre ft Eminem and Skylar Grey. The lyrics talk about how a person does so many things to try to get people to like her and be her friend, but she always feels like that no one notices her. Skylar has an incredible voice and is using it to get a story out about the people that are hidden by others actions. I hope you enjoy this amazing song, Invisible- Skylar Grey.

Fly- Nicki Minaj ft. Rihanna

I think this is a great song, Nicki doesn't have a really hard rap part but the song is an inspirational one. Rihanna and Nicki Mainaj make a great team with this song. I hope you enjoy it! Fly by Nicki Minaj ft. Rihanna.

Stereo Hearts- Gym Class Heroes ft. Adam Levine (Lyrics+ Music Video)

My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every no-oh-ote

Make me your radio (Ya)
Turn me up when you feel low (Turn it up a little bit)
This melody was meant for you (ya right there)
Just sing along to my stereo

(Gym class heroes baby) If I was just another dusty record on the shelve
Will you blow me off and play me like everybody else
If I ask you to scratch my back, could you manage that
Like it read well, check it Travie, I can handle that
Furthermore, I apologize for any skipping tracks
This the last girl that play me left a couple cracks
I used to used to used to used to, now I'm over that
Cause holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts

If I could only find a note to make you understand
I sing a song for you and the image grab me by the hands
Keep myself inside your head, like your favorite tune
And know my heart is a stereo that only plays for you (ha, ha, ha)

My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every no-oh-ote (ya, ya, ya come on)

Make me your radio (uh huh)
Turn me up when you feel low (Turn it up)
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo

Oooh oh ooooh oh To my stereo
Oh ooooh So sing along to my stereo

(Lets Go)If I wasn't old school, fifty pound boombox
Would you hold me on your shoulder, wherever you walk
Would you turn my volume up before of the cops
And crank it higher everytime they told you to stop
And all I ask is that you don't get mad at me, mad at me
When you have to purchase mad D batteries, batteries
Appreciate every mixtape your friends make, friends make
You never know we come and go like we're on the interstate, never know

I think finally found a note to make you understand
If you can hear it, sing along and take me by the hands
Keep myself inside your head, like your favorite tune
And know my heart is a stereo that only plays for you

My heart's a stereo (ya)
It beats for you, so listen close (listen)
Hear my thoughts in every no-oh-ote (oh, oh)

Make me your radio (come on)
Turn me up when you feel low (turn it up)
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo (sing along all night)

Oooh oh ooooh oh To my stereo
Ooooh oh So sing along to my stereo

I only pray you never leave me behind (never leave me)
Because good music can be so hard to find (So hard to find)
I take your hand and pull it closer to mine (ya)
Thought love was dead, but now you're changing my mind (ya, ya come on)
Whoo

My heart's a stereo (ya)
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every no-oh-ote (oh, oh, oh)

Make me your radio (uh huh)
Turn me up when you feel low (turn it up)
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo

Oooh oh ooooh oh To my stereo
Oh ooooh (it's your boy Travie, gym class heroes baby) So sing along to my stereo
Ya

Stereo Hearts- Gym Class Heroes ft. Adam Levine

I love this song! It's not really new, but it is still not as popular or old as many other songs that are this good. With Adam Levine, this song mixes light rap with great singing. Enjoy this great song by Gym Class Heroes- Stereo Hearts!

Under Recognized Artists and Bands

I just wanted to do a post about the great artists that only smaller groups of followers listen to and are under recognized. The first is a band that isn't popular in the US, but is one of the hottest bands in Canada, Down With Webster. I wouldn't have found this band if it wasn't for some of my friends that came down from Canada recently. It only took a few seconds before I was hooked on this band. Here is one of their most listened to song. Whoa is Me As you can see, they don't have nearly as many hits as some of the more mainstream US singers, but they are a really good group. They blend pop, rap, and rock. They do an incredible job with blending the different genres together. Here are a few more of their songs,
Your Man
She's Dope
Hope you like them!

The second artist is Gavin DeGraw. He makes some really nice music that many people already enjoy listening to. The amount of people that listen to his music is normally only the people that have been listening to his music for a while now, not many new people are introduced to his music. I think that this song, Not Over You, is a very good indicator of his talent. Listen and enjoy!

Spread the word!

Ladies Love Me- Chris Brown Ft. Justin Bieber

So, this is the new song that Chris Brown and Justin made. It's a mixture of a remix of Look At Me Now and a new song. I have to admit, Justin is an alright rapper, but he needs to stick to what he was doing before they made this track.

Friday- Rebecca Black

The YouTube video to the original Friday by Rebecca Black has been removed from YouTube. I am guessing they did that to stop many of the incredibly rude and hurtful things people had been posting. Fortunately (or unfortunately) the video isn't gone forever, here is the re-uploaded video of Friday that someone else has posted, with much less harmful comments and views.

My Moment- Rebecca Black

Ok, so... After making the WORST song and music video Friday, Rebecca Black has come out with a much better song. I don't think this is good, I just think it's much better than her last song. I think that if we forget she ever made the song Friday, we might actually get some decent songs in our future from Rebecca Black. I'm not saying she will be a big hit, just not the same singer we saw in Friday. Just remember, she has over 10 million views in just 3 days. Could you do that? Even if they are there to just laugh, she is getting much more publicity than many of us. Listen to this new song, My Moment by Rebecca Black and tell me what you think.

Till I'm Gone- Tinie Tempah Ft. Wiz Khalifa

I'm sure this song will become a very big hit after a few months out. This song is a little more main stream than some of Tinie Tempah's other songs, but if you like rap, you will really enjoy this song. As always, Wiz brings his own style and voice into this to help Tinie out. Their styles and voice are close and this song mixes their talent really well. This song is very different than Tinie's other song, Written In The Stars, but still uses all of Tinie's talents. Take a few minutes to listen to this song! Enjoy!
