Beautiful People

Beautiful People by Chris Brown (feat. Benny Benassi) As a cheesy boy once said to my housemate when she commented on the beauty of the weather, "Beautiful day, beautiful girl." Oh yeah, he said that, and it could have been even cheesier if someone (probably me) had played this song right after. Anyway, Chris Brown gave listeners a sample of this last night when he performed on Dancing With the Stars. The performance is pretty epic, but no one should expect anything less. Maybe Chris Brown will absorb some of the beauty he sings about and shape up. Brown also performed "Yeah 3x" and "Forever"REPEAT IT, CRANK IT

OH. MAH. GAH

Next 2 You By Chris Brown and Justin Beiber. I know we have to hold Chris Brown accountable for his actions.....but this is a song I can't let go of (eeeekkkk). I'm trying to contain my middle school self right now. Thanks Ali G. (Not the Sacha Baron Cohen character, but my friend Ali Gallagher). This song does NOT excuse Chris Brown's actions, both past and present, but Beiber is on the track, and the song is awesome. Give it a listen, and let your middle school self enjoy!

UK CHarts 3/20

#1 "Don't Hold Your Breath" by Nicole Scherzinger. So the lead Pussycat Doll steps out solo with a break-up song. This one is definitely for the girls, so guys, don't hold your breath. It's not an instant favorite for me, but hey it's number one this week. NO BOYS ALLOWED (IT?)


#3 "Gold Forever" by The Wanted. If you missed boy bands, this might be for you. Also, if you like clown noses, this music video is for you. I don't get the whole clown nose theme of the video, are they going for silliness? If I found myself at a rager with a clown nose, I guess I'd go with it. The song is sweet, but could be great if you REMIXED IT




#10 "Louder" by Parade. And now for the girl groups, the song says turn it up louder, but I think I want to turn it down. This song is pretty lackluster. SKIP IT


#16 "Sweat" by Snoop Dogg. I heard a rumor Cudi and Snoop will be in NYC on 4/20, if it's true, and let's all hope it is, that show is going to be phenomenal. You don't even have to hear this song to know that with a title like Sweat, the video is going to be a little raunchy. I like the song, but maybe it's because I like snoop, but I think there's something missing for sure. Don't get me wrong, the song has some cool components, like the helium voice saying "work it, work it out girl", but it needs something more. TWEAK IT


#24 "Buzzin (Remix)" By Mann (feat. 50 cent). I'm a big fan of 50 cent, and always will be. I like that "I Can't Wait" by Nu Shooz is the background. CRANK IT, BUZZ IT




#27 "True Faith" by George Micheal. I'm confused, George Micheal is known for his hit "Faith", why would he write a song called "True Faith". The autotune in this song freaks me out. I'm not a fan. FREAKED OUT BY IT

#32 "All of The Lights" By Kanye West (feat. Drake and Rihanna). I've been a big fan of this song for a while, but today was the first time I've checked out the video. Rihanna, what are you wearing?? But the little girl in the video, is precious. The weird part, is that the video has Kid Cudi, but there are like a million audio versions with other artists on Youtube. Also, the beginning of the song has a warning for epileptics and others prone to seizures...safety first? Well, whoever is on the track, it's a winner. LIGHT IT UP, REPEAT IT




#35 "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus. What a throwback.  Not sure why this song is on the charts, but I won't hate. The video is the best part. Check it out. REWIND IT
