I'm digging these:

Eminem and Rihanna - Love The Way You Lie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uelHwf8o7_U

I've been in love with Rihanna since "Pon de Replay" and her contribution here does not disappoint. I'm not a big fan of Eminem's voice but I'm told that his verses are amazing, lyrically (this was from some poetry nerd, I don't know anything about poetry or rhyming schemes).

----

Lady Gaga - Alejandro
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niqrrmev4mA

This single came out in April so it's not quite "summer" but I'm still digging it. As an Ace of Base fan this song really does it for me, and I don't usually enjoy Lady Gaga.

----

Mike Posner - Cooler Than Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqWq_48LxWQ

Love this dude's voice. The track itself was produced by Gigamesh if I understand correctly. Beat reminds me of Depeche Mode.

I got so much love to give!

Is there some beef between 50 Cent and Cee-Lo or something else I am not understanding about this song? My knee jerk response to the song was negative because I dislike when people croon obscenities.

Check out 50 Cent's response:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk_zLhKIE24

Ilya I agree regarding the obscenities -- it means that a lot of people instantly like it when otherwise they'd just call it a boring tune, because "lol it has the word fuck in it". But the song is genuinely good imo.

Thanks smooth! I think Cooler Than Me is the #1 for me this summer... I don't know if it's because I never heard this guy before so his voice is fresh.

Katy Perry "Teenage Dream"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98WtmW-lfeE&ob

This is a step down for Perry imo. Her lyrics were pretty sleazy to begin with in "I Kissed A Girl" and "California Girls"... This one is just too much. She's my age, what business does she have singing about being a "teenager forever".

http://www.fmqb.com/article.asp?id=1332255

Quote:

Perry says she hopes to start recording some new material while on the road touring Europe this summer, where she will play a number of festivals. She says she will "definitely keep it pop" and gives the example of "'Love Fool’ by The Cardigans meets ‘Into the Groove’ by Madonna but a little more meat on the bones lyrically." She adds, "I’m not just gonna talk about the beat and just dancing, I like to get into the meaning." Perry also hinted that her new songs would lyrically deal with the past year of her life, including her relationship with Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes.

LMAO are you kidding me Katy. Where's the meat?! Huh

How dare you compare yourself to "Into The Groove" or "Love Fool", two of the best female-led singles of the '80s and '90s respectively.

I take pop music seriously.
