Shakira - I think this song is a lot better in Spanish, it just seems to flow better and has a lot more fire to it. I don't listen to Shakira often, but this song is definitely one of her all-time bests.
Eminem - I miss when he made quality music. I haven't listened to Relapse in full (yet), but from what I have heard, there's nothing quite like his old masterpieces like Lose Yourself.
Justin Timberlake - He just isn't my style. I don't really get a lot of the hype around this guy, I don't think his music is THAT innovative or interesting...
Sugababes - Kinda boring, repetitive, and just not something I'd listen to.
Bjork - This song is intensely creepy. I think Bjork is really unique and original, but this is not what I'd consider #1. Just okay.
Christina Aguilera - Ick. She has a great voice, you can't question that. But I think she makes horrid songs.
Coldplay - Yeah, Chris Martin gets irritating very easily. And when a song like this gets overplayed, as I remember hearing it over and over again, it makes me never want to buy a Coldplay CD ever again. But then VLVODAAHF came out, and it gave me hope that these guys know what they're doing.
The White Stripes - That bassline is classic. I can't say I'm a huge fan of Jack White, but I can't deny that his contributions to music will be remembered for a long time.
Fergie - It's so awful, that it just makes me laugh. Fergie ain't too bad-looking though. At least she's got something.
The Arctic Monkeys - I thought this song was really weird when I first heard it, but The Arctic Monkeys are good at that kind of stuff. I've heard better.

Shakira - Great song, but I'd prefer "Hips Don't Lie".
Eminem - A hip-hop classic right here. I need to hear this at least once per day to keep me motivated. Best song on the list.
Justin - It's alright, but nothing special.
Sugababes - Awful, really.
Bjork - It's okay.
Christina - Boring as hell.
Coldplay - Amazing song. In my top three.
The White Stripes - Horrible.
Fergie - I remember that I really liked this when it came out, but I got tired of it easily.
The Arctic Monkeys - Can I have all the time that I spent listening to ths track back? Please? Worst on the list.
