Manky's Year In Review: Pop Edition

[powerslave_85]

Well that kinda just proves my point. Which is that there's almost no difference.

Just actually listened to all those songs, except the ones I'd heard before (Carly Rae Jepsen and Psy) and actually liked a lot of those

Good: Psy, Ellie Goulding, Kelly Clarkson, Train
Meh: Ke$ha, Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift
Bad: Carly Rae Jepsen
Couldn't even finish: Justin Bieber, One Direction

Honestly I probably would not like Gangnam Style much at all if the video wasn't so awesome.

Also, that Girl's Generation song was pretty damn awesome.

Carly Rae Jepsen is awesome.

The only thing I liked about Gangnam Style was a few of the odd cover videos. Most were stupid as hell but I liked one I saw when a guy dressed as Deadpool for it.

Her songs are catchy but just don't have a lasting appeal to me.

[kalfitegrdan]

Oh yeah, I forgot, that Neon Trees song was also pretty awesome.

The only songs on here that I like in any way,shape,or form,are Locked Out Of Heaven and Die Young(what a guilty pleasure this is).Sure there definitely not what I want to here on top 40 radio,of course,I may never here what I want on it,but it's a step in the right direction.Anyway,everything else on here I HATE (no offense to anybody).Taylor was good when she was country,sorry,but she's a pop artist now,nobody can convince me she isn't.

Yikes, what were 'the koreans' trying to do, grandpa?

Maybe some people in this thread should be careful talking about a song that resonates for another culture like you have any fucking clue about it.
