23. Mariah Carey “Obsessed”
Obsessed by Mariah Carey became one of the most talked about singles last year, causing this site to have several server problems. We all know that this song is so about Eminem, it is Mariah Carey's respond to his song
Bagpipes from Baghdad. The music video for this song is somewhat related because of the scenes where Mariah Carey plays a role of a rapper/stalker; I never expect to see Mariah play this kind of roles as I am used to see her just singing in her videos showing her beauty and charm. To be honest, the video kinda killed the song, it is good at first look while it got me annoyed after some time. I'd rather listen to the song alone. Unlike her two previous smash records, her latest record Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel which includes
Obsessed is far from the success of those two probably of lack of promotion. Well, at least Mariah Carey gave us something new last year, I hope she can pull up another great record which I can enjoy probably this year or much later.

22. Taylor Swift “White Horse”
I started to like Taylor Swift even more with the release of her sweet yet heartbreaking ballad for White Horse. It is one of her most emotional songs she released following her previous hit
Teardrops On My Guitar.
White Horse tells an ending of a very sad love story, the lyrics will really get to your hearts if you can relate to the situation. It is the exact opposite of what her smash hit
Love Story as Taylor sings in the chorus
"I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale. I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet, lead her up the stairwell". The music video perfectly fits the song, we see Taylor crying in one corner remembering the good times she had with her cheating boyfriend Stephen Colletti. The rainy setting adds more emotion to the video and I really love it.
White Horse is my favorite ballad for 2009, I always feel the emotions in the song whenever I listen to it and Taylor Swift did another amazing song writing it.

21. Leona Lewis “I Will Be”
The Spirit era is still appealing for me as the final single of that album still manage to chart this high in my list. Leona Lewis did the right decision in releasing
I Will Be, and just like
Bleeding Love, it slowly grow on me and after some time it became one of my joints. When
I Will Be is still popular, I always listen to both Leona Lewis and Avril Lavigne's versions. Both of them delivered the song so well but I will say I prefer Leona's version more because of her powerful rendition. Well, kudos for Avril Lavigne because she is the one who wrote the song.
I Will Be has a great and positive chorus as Leona sings
"I will be all that you want and get myself together 'cause you keep me from falling apart." I keep singing and listening to this song for about less than a month, so it is only good enough we see this high here. Leona's follow up album so far hasn't met the expectations of her debut effort, but who knows with the right decisions on releasing singles, Leona can give us another heart-whelming ballads just like this one.
