The lowdown: This progressive house track features a robotic Robyn lamenting that everything about her life is "killing" her as the beat builds into an outburst of rage. Co-written and co-produced with Klas Åhlund, it served as the opener on Body Talk Pt. 1 and the second song on the Body Talk compilation.
The vote: With four early scores of 9 or above, "Don't ****ing Tell Me What to Do" was in the top thirty after the first ten votes. It steadily dropped throughout the rest of the balloting period.
Best moment: after the line "My talking is killing me," the song momentarily descends into a flourish of techno gobbledegook
Country singer Martina McBride's children are credited for finger snapping on Hey Stephen from Fearless.
I guess it's good that everyone is recognized for their contributions. But I still find it hilarious that something like handclapping or finger snapping goes in the credits.
The lowdown: Pushing the rap-pop of "Your Love" a step further, Nicki sings her little heart out in this ballad about a lover who can accept her despite her flaws. Sampling the melody from Joe Satriani's "Always With Me, Always With You," this Drew Money production served as the second single from Pink Friday, reaching #26 on the Hot 100 and the top ten of the rap and R&B charts.
The vote: An early contender for the bottom five of the countdown, "Right Thru Me" scored more than a point higher in the second half of voting as compared to the first twenty ballots.
Best moment: the middle eight, in which the swirling synths takes over, driving Nicki toward an impassioned plea of "Would you just stop looking through me?"
I guess it's good that everyone is recognized for their contributions. But I still find it hilarious that something like handclapping or finger snapping goes in the credits.
That's what happens when your music is not made by a computer...
This song is great.
