Sweetest High
AVG: 5.35
Highest Score: 10 (x1) / Lowest Score: 1 (x2)
Sweetest High is Nadine's latest single.
It's Nadine's attempt to break into the europop genre like her group member, Chezza.
Unfortunately, it lacks flair.
It doesn't have that "I'm hot, I'm sexy, and I'm fierce" feeling that the single cover does.
But, hopefully, this is just a bump into the right direction and away from the wrong.

Live Tonight
AVG: 5.5
Highest Score: 9 (x1) / Lowest Score: 1 (x1)
Live Tonight is another will.i.am-produced record on Cheryl's sophomore album.
As far as europop goes, this isn't bad.
It's one of those "I look fly and I'm ready to party" songs.
Unfortunately, there is much comparison I see with will.i.am's other produced song, "I Gotta Feeling".
Both have similar themes, but one has a more catchy hook and melody.
Not really feeling the "dee dum dum da diddy dum dum"s.
It's not a bad party song, though.

Heartbreaker (will.i.am featuring Cheryl Cole)
AVG: 5.6
Highest Score: 8 (x1) / Lowest Score: 1 (x1)
This should come as no surprise that the first song eliminated from 3 Words ain't by Cheryl herself.
This is actually "will.i.am's" song, but it was tagged on both of their albums.
The song sounds like an attempt to fuse house music with old school funk.
Unfortunately, it doesn't soothe the "heart breaker" in me.
Is it bad to say the only parts I enjoyed were Cheryl's parts, or is that a given?
By the way, the next song is important. Nadine only has two songs left. If they go next, she's out for good and won't even make it to the top 30.

Raindrops
AVG: 5.7
Highest Score: 8 (x2) / Lowest Score: 2 (x1)
Raindrops, the title song for the album.
It's such a beautiful, guitar-laced mid-tempo.
I just wanna cuddle in a warm blanket while it's raining when I listen to it.
It's too bad it's not higher, it's actually a favorite of mine.
And Cheryl's voice is amazing in it.

Put Your Hands Up
AVG: 5.8
Highest Score: 9 (x1) / Lowest Score: 2 (x2)
Put Your Hands Up is a sexy dance-pop song from Nadine.
This had "single material" written all over it.
I bet if this song was the first single, the album would've faired better.
But, I digress, this song is an absolute hit and, according to the ratings, is the second best Nadine song.
Too bad the second best Nadine song couldn't get higher than 31.
This means Nadine at least makes it to the top 30. But, does that mean she's next or possibly higher? Find out tomorrow at Noon PST / 3 PM EST.
UGH. Insatiable? Really? You girls and your singles. Insatiable is like the seventh best song on that album.
Trust me, Nadine got the worst rep on this rating. There are some hits on that album, and some people ATRLers basically judged her based on her, not the songs.
