DIAC reviews the most popular songs currently on radio

1) Black Eyed Peas: Boom Boom Pow
Usually Their Grade From Me: -2/10
This Song: 3/10

Bottom Line: Black Eyed Peas do have their share of decent beats, but remain failing in terms of lyrics or ability to provide any substance, style, originality, or attempt for consistency in their music. Yea, this song sucks.

2) Lady Gaga: Poker Face
Song: 4/10

Bottom Line: Hip-hop and pop have recently dwelled into electronic and hints of techno. There's a similarity between all of these: They aren't that good.

3) Jamie Foxx: Blame It
Song: 2/10

Bottom Line: See above comment. Now look at the score. Let's move on.

4) Glee Cast: Don't Stop Believin'
Song: 3/10

Bottom Line: Originality is not here. Journey should be furious right now. Its a rock anthem reduced into accapella mumbo-jumbo.

5) Pitbull: I Know You Want Me
Song: 7/10

Bottom Line: Guess what, I honestly do not like Pitbull, I really don't. I have never been a fan of his music. However, with that being said, this song grew on me for unknown reasons. As a matter of fact, this is one of the best 2009 songs I've heard this year. The beat is a bit infectious, and while the song becomes repetitive, the beat and energy prevent it from being annoying.

6) Linkin Park: New Divide
Song: 3/10

Bottom Line: Linkin Park's "mature" music is nowhere near as good as their first two albums, which mesh excellent vocals with angry yet ear-catching guitar riffs and heavy drums. Linkin Park has watered down, and I don't like it. For every "Given Up," we have 4 failure songs from them. We need to drift back to Hybrid Theory quality....please.

7) Kid Cuti: Day n' Nite
Song: 8/10

Bottom Line: The best song of 2009 comes from an artist that has nothing to do with the best version of the track---which is the remix by a couple talented British Djs.

8) Beyonce: Halo
Song: 5/10

Bottom Line: Good vocals. That's about it.

9) Jeremiah: Birthday Sex
Song: -2/10

Bottom Line: I am pretty sure I'd rather shove a screwdriver into both my ears than listen to this song ever again. Holy crap, that's what passes off as love music nowadays? Barry White and Marvin Gaye are rolling in their graves right now. What happened to songs like "Can't get Enough"?!?!?!?!!?

Ugh. Absolute ugh.

10) Katy Perry: Waking Up In Vegas
Song: 2/10

Bottom Line: I must whether be old or have a lot of trouble accepting this new wave of horrendous music that people are unfortunately enjoying nowadays.

I am done.

>_<
