On March 11th, Now 27 and a new Now CD, Now 80's are coming out... i might buy the 80's one because it has a lot of good songs on it that i don't own, but not Now 27, i stopped buying the regular Now CD's long ago (like around 13 or 14)... and have only bought the Christmas ones since then.

4. Britney Spears - Piece of Me D+ (Very slight grower)
5. Fergie - Clumsy C- (I'll give her a C- simply because of the interesting video)
6. Jordin Sparks - Tattoo A- (If you asked me 3 months ago, I'd say B-. Now it's an A-)

8. Chris Brown - Kiss Kiss D (boring song)

20. Keith Urban - Everybody B+ (How many Now appearances does he have now?)

It starts off with a great song, but only one great song out of the next 11 (Jordin) and then 5 of the last 8 songs I give an A including 2 A+++++ (Sara and Paramore), 2 A- and 1 A+.

Overall, not a CD I would consider getting since I'll end up playing only 2 of the first 11 songs and skipping the other 9. I would just play the rest of the CD out except for Santana/Chad.

You can't have an 80's album without Madonna, Whitney Houston, Paula Abdul, and Debbie Gibson! - _ -

^^ i was just gonna say..wheres Madonna

A little critical of everything? You gave nearly all of the best songs D's. In fact all of my favorites you gave C's, D's and F's. The only exceptions are or Rihanna and Jordin...

Madonna's never been on an a Now album. I have an idea she might refuse the use of her songs on them. and as for the other 80's artists you mentioned, i'm sure they'll be a now 80's 2 and 3 like there was with the Latino and Christmas ones, so maybe they'll be on those

1. Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music A+
2. Mary J.Blige - Just Fine B+
3. Janet Jackson - Feedback B+
4. Britney Spears - Piece of Me B+
5. Fergie - Clumsy A+
6. Jordin Sparks - Tattoo A-
7. Natasha Bedingfield - Love Like This B+
8. Chris Brown - Kiss Kiss A+
9. Kanye West- Flashing Lights B+
10. Sean Kingston - Take You There F-
11. J. Holiday - Suffocate F-

17. Finger Eleven - Paralyzer B+
18. Santana f/ Chad Kroeger- Into the Night B+
19. Taylor Swift - Teardrops on My Guitar A+
20. Keith Urban - Everybody F-

Overall: C
Really I don't know what's the point of buying this albums

I will buy now 27 i have bought all of them

There's a thing called 'Overplayed and bored of'

I'm surprised at how decent Now 27's tracklisting is. Only one song on there I don't like, and even it isn't as bad as some other songs that have been on them.

I also like the Now 80's tracklisting... a pretty good cross-section of the decade, I'm sure there'll be more after it!

I have all of them too, I will definetly but this too, I did ok on my predictions, I'm glad to see Boys Like Girls & Sara Bareilles there, I'm shocked that Colbie is not in it as for Now 80's I kinda like it, but if their going to make a Now 80's they should make a Now 90's also

Next will be Now Remixed

Oh I love rating the Now CD's. So much fun to let my anger and frustration out on these songs:

1. Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music B (Not so terrible. Actuallt half decent)
2. Mary J.Blige - Just Fine F (Just terrible)
3. Janet Jackson - Feedback F (Her days have long past)
4. Britney Spears - Piece of Me D- (At least better than the prevous 2)
5. Fergie - Clumsy D (Actually beginning to annoy me)
6. Jordin Sparks - Tattoo F (Overrated junk)
7. Natasha Bedingfield - Love Like This B- (Somewhat ok)
8. Chris Brown - Kiss Kiss F----- (T-Pain in song. Automatic F-----)
9. Kanye West- Flashing Lights B+ (Pretty good)
10. Sean Kingston - Take You There D- (Better than Beautiful Girls at least)
11. J. Holiday - Suffocate F-- (Awful stuff here)
12. Alicia Keys - No One A- (At least someone has talent)
13. Sara Bareilles - Love Song B (Good but not great)
14. Timbaland / One Republic - Apologize B- (Good but seriously overplayed)
15. Boys Like Girls - Hero / Heroine F (Boys Like Girls- automatic F)
16. Paramore - Crush Crush Crush A+++++ (Well you expected that rating)
17. Finger Eleven - Paralyzer C (I used to like this song a lot, then it became popular and overplayed)
18. Santana f/ Chad Kroeger- Into the Night C- (Acceptable at the very least)
19. Taylor Swift - Teardrops on My Guitar B (Nice but Our Song is better)
20. Keith Urban - Everybody D (I'm indifferent and my indifference grade is D)

Overall= D

Wow, 5 Fs. Didn't see that coming....especially one for Jordin.

1. Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music (A+) [Loved the song the moment I heard it]

5. Fergie - Clumsy (A+) [who doesn't love her]

10. Sean Kingston - Take You There (B+) [love how all his songs are danceable]
11. J. Holiday - Suffocate (D+) [not feeling it as much as "Bed"]
12. Alica Keys - No One (A) [love it, but overplayed too much]
13. Sara Bareilles - Love Song (A+) [excellent choice]
14. Timbaland featuring OneRepublic - Apologize (A-) [see number 12]
15. Boys Like Girls - Hero/Heroine (C+) [it's ok, "The Great Escape" was better]
16. Paramore - Crushcrushcrush (B) [better than "Misery Business]
17. Finger Eleven - Paralyzer (B+) [love the song]
18. Santana featuring Chad Kroeger - Into The Night (B+) [not one of his greatest songs]
19. Taylor Swift - Teardrops On My Guitar (B-) [I like "Our Song" way better, faster]
