Robyn,- Handle Me this is my favorite Robyn single. Why you ask? because of the lyrics. The lyrics are hilarious. (10)
Boys Like Girls,- Heart Heart Heartbreak YES! this is one of their best singles so far. One of the best tracks from their album too. I'm glad they picked this as a single. (9)
Maroon 5, - Misery This band has some funky rhytms in their songs, especially Misery which is why I like it. (8)
Aaliyah, - We Need a Resolution This song has a sick beat. It's so different. from the other R&B songs out there. (7)
Kristinia Debarge - Goodbye This is a very catchy tune. I'm not surprised that it did well on the radio. Sadly, she turn out to be a one hit wonder. (6)
Ladytron,- Destroy Everything You Touch Ladytron needs a breakout hit already. this song is so freakin good. (5)
Little Boots,- New in Town I discovered this song while watching a promo of MTV's The Hills and this song was playing during the promo and I liked it but had no idea who sung it. It took a while for me to figure it out lol ( 4)
Kanye West,- Monster Good stuff this is real talent Kanye West is groundbreaking rapper in my opinion. (3)
Miranda Lambert,- Dead Flowers I'm not really a fan of her but i like this song. Symbolism is great (2)
Enrique Iglesias - Hero Not one of my favorites songs from him. I don't like his ballads. (1)

Kayne West- Monster. I love the artists, I love the track. Nicki is giving me LIFE she murdered the song. [10]
Aaliyah- We need a resolution. My fav single of hers with Rock the boat. [9]
Little Boots- New in Town. I surprisingly like this track. Not my kinda songs but it works! [8]
Robyn- Handle me. Nothing stellar but still listenable. But a makeover would help, I don't like ****-ish girls. [7]
Boys like Girls- Heart heart Heartbreak. It gives me those ANNOYING " american white boys frat party/ corny teen movie" vibe, and the verses give me the Bon Jovi "It's my Life" and Rihanna "Disturbia" teas. But the chorus is actually catchy. [6]
Maroon 5- Misery. OK [5]
Kristina Debarge- Goodbye. Yay Goodbye Gworl [4]
Enrique Iglesias- Hero. I tolerate the chorus but really..lame [3]
Miranda Lambert- Dead flowers. Dead **** too. GTFO [2]
Ladytron- Destroy everything you touch. My soul doesn't even want to remember the tune. [1]

) but you got it right. To be honest this song is actually strong. I can describe this as very ‘Boys Like Girls”.
