 | Mariah Carey
Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel
After E=MC² disaster, the fact that I hated Obsessed when it came out and the fact that they were all saying that this album would be about just ballads I was com,pletely turned off to Mariah Carey, I downloaded this album expecting to hate it, but SURPRISE! MOAIA is en excellent album filled with great mid-tempos R&B jams that for sure will remind you of old school Mariah Carey. And the fact that it wasn't commercially successful aparently it's not important for her. This album could've been HUGE. Too bad that a disastrous single choice what a shoot in the head for this.

 | Mary J. Blige
Stronger withEach Tear
OMG! YES! It's already charting and it came out THREE DAYS AGO! This is how good Mary J Blige is. I got the Mary J Blige fever these last couple of week before the album leaked, which only made this album be even better. Mary absolutely OWNS. This album is an amazing R&B album with lots of mid to up-tempo songs like Said And Done or Good Love, but if you want the ballad, you'll enjoy In The Morning for sure. And not to mention how hilarious Kitchen is, I can't take those lyrics "don't let a girl cook in your kitchen". Definitely and amazing album that I recomend.

I didn't watch this AI season, except for one or two episodes. I strongly believe that Kris' performances on those episodes I watched, I missed because I did not remember him when he won, but because I absolutely HATED Adam's voice and all the overrating, I was like "OMG I gotta check this guy". His version of No Baundaries is amazing and that made me excited for his album. First single was VERY GOOD and it made me ever more excited. Kris' album is a very goos Pop/AC album, it strongly resembles Maroon 5's style, specially the song Can't Stay Away which is one of my favorites, and this is not a bad thing at all because I LOOOVE Maroon 5. Good job Kris. Btw, he is one of the most gorgeous guys I think I've ever seen.

 | Whitney Houston
I Look To You
When I heard that Whitney would be back with a brand new album I was completely worried about the sound she'd put on it But among all of the amazing surprises that I had this year, this album was one of the biggest. When I downloaded her album I was expecting it to be A COMPLETE BOREFEST, but she really surprised me that she did not stick to early 90s ballad sound. She's worked on contemporary R&B songs with some top notch producers nowadays who came out with EXCELLENT beats like Nothin' But Love and For The Lovers, but if you're looking for some classic Whitney ballads, you have on the album I Look to You and I Didn't Know My Own Strengh, which is a song about all the hell she'd been through these last couple of years.

 | Howie Day
Sound The Alarm
I discovered Howie about 2 years ago I believe, and I loved his music. His two albums were amazing and I was looking forward to his new music. But I forgot about him up till I saw that he released new single Be There which I loved and had absolutely no idea it was about to come out and that he had an album coming out. Be There was AMAZING and just after a few weeks this album album came out and OMG! This album ism just FLAWLESS. For sure, this is his best album yet. I love his AC Pop/Rock style, and this time, he's more up-beat. LOVED IT.

 | Esmιe Denters
Outta Here
Esmιe was definitely one of the people that I was looking forward the most to see what was gonna bring. His youtube event song was great and also the charity song she did one year ago. Outta Here is a GREAT pop album, first single Outta Here is pure fire and one of my favorite songs this year, her album is filled with nice beats and also some really good mid-tempo to ballad songs that could be a decent hit for her if well promoted, too bad Justin's not doing much for her in the US because she could be really big, because she's a sweetheart.
Favorite Songs:
Admit It
