And NOW:
Carrie Underwood - Blown Away
This without a doubt is my favorite song Carrie has ever released, it's just THAT good. Her vocals are amazing, the song arrangement is epic, the lyrics are fresh. It's just perfect.
Why not? While this song has "One Hit Wonder" written all over, it was indeed a classic of 2012, and one of the catchiest songs i've ever heard in my life.
There's only so many great Latin collaborations. This song is so poetic and beautiful! Ricardo Arjona always knows how to create songs that involve metaphors and this is no exception. My favorite Latin song of 2012 in my opinion.
If you want empowerment anthems, Ms. Clarkson (soon to be Ms. Blackstock ) is there to help. The musical arrangement of this song is just so unique and fresh, LOVE the music box intro. Of course Kelly's vocals are EPIC as always. The music video is all about the message, no special effects, just a message that no one is perfect, we're all human.
THIS is the Maroon 5 I grew to love in "Songs About Jane" & "It Won't Be Soon Before Long". The song is so great, catchy, maybe a little generic in some parts, but overall is just so great.
YES YES YES!! P!nk brings us an emotional performance with Try. It's tasteful and mainstream. AND come on!! The song gets bonus points for the epic performance at the American Music Awards this year!.
