English & Chinese Earworms

These are potential ear-worms for those people who are into music.

The English ones first...

1) Love In This Club by Usher feat. Young Jeezy

Rating: 3.5/5
Old-school R&B with an infectious backgroud riff. #1 on Billboard Hot100 for 2 straight weeks!


2) Break The Ice by Britney Spears

Rating: 3.0/5
She released an anime music video! Wow. It's undoubtedly a very cool move. Although it's not as strong as Gimme More or Piece of Me, the album Blackout is churning out catchy hits like nobody's business. Watch-out.


3) No Air by Jordin Sparks feat. Chris Brown

Rating: 3.0/5
Jordin Sparks is now proving herself to be bankable in the pop genre after the infectious Tattoo. This R&B/Pop ditty grows on you. Besides, it features Chris Brown. So you know nothing much can go wrong.


4) Feels Like Tonight by Daughtry

Rating: 4.0/5
It feels like a modern-day classic rock hit. Well done!


Now for the Mandarin songs...

1) 洋葱 by 杨宗纬

Rating: 4.5/5
Although he doesn't look good (the painful truth, guys) he is a FANTASTIC singer. And this song, written by 五月天's 阿信 is perfect for his amazing vocals.


2) 亲爱的那不是爱情 by 张韶涵

Rating: 3.5/5
Written by Jay Chou and his long-time collaborator 方文山, this melodious single is a sure K-Box hit (although you may have to lower a few keys).


3) 期待爱 by 林俊杰 & 金莎

Rating: 4.0/5
His 'new' album of 新歌+精选 is obviously a ploy to earn money and remind people that he still exists while we wait (eagerly) for his brand new studio album. I mean, there's only one new song and it's this one. But still, no complaining. It's another lovely hit from the home-grown talent.

Clocked finish my island-wide today. It's really tiring to drive on the expressways for 50km at only 50km/h. But it's done. No more driving after this. I think I'm going to have withdrawal symptoms =x

Damn tired.

Take care, peeps!
