Britney Spears- Ooh La La

Posted in new music with tags , , , , , , , , , , on June 17, 2013 by alifeofmike

I wasn’t going to make a post about Britney Spears’ new song until I heard it consecutively on two different local radio stations.

I have to say I am disappointed in this song and I REALLY hope it is not the lead single from her upcoming album.  It lacks originality and uniqueness.  However, it does have a few promising parts.

The verse right before the chorus when she sings,

“You know can nobody get down like us
We don’t fuck ’till we get enough
C’mon, turn it up ’till the speakers pop
Break it down, show me what you’ve got”

feels awesome.  It feels like it is building up to a huge drop of a cool house or pop beat (like in her previous records).  But then it slows back down and sounds like every other song out there.

I see success in this song (if it is the lead single) ONLY because it is Britney’s song, NOT because I think it deserves it.

Check it out for yourself!

Fifth Harmony- Miss Movin’ On

Fifth Harmony is a girl group who originated on the widely popular, The X Factor. They have debuted their first single, Miss Movin’ On and I am pleasantly surprised.  The song is definitely a pop song, however it feels incredibly fresh. The vocals are on point the melody is very enjoyable.  I do not know yet if the song will become a hit, but I definitely believe it will give Fifth Harmony the platform to succeed in future projects.

I definitely think Fifth Harmony is here to stay. Check out their new single Miss Movin’ On

The Voice Season 4 Finale Predictions

The Voice

In honor of NBC’s The Voice finale being tonight, I thought that I would write a prediction.

I tweeted last week that my thoughts on who would make it to the finale would be Danielle Bradbery, Michelle Chamuel and The Swon Brothers.  Just like I predicted, those were the top three.  However, the real battle this whole season has been fought between Danielle and Michelle.  They both bring different qualities to this season.  Danielle is the youngest in the competition and completely lovable, and Michelle is that nerdy girl that didn’t quite fit in and America fell in love with her.  As far as vocal ability, Danielle takes it.  The quality in her voice is upstanding, and for her age it is unprecedented.  Michelle does have an incredible voice as well, but I do not believe it matches Danielle’s.  I do believe the Swon Brothers will place third on the finale results show tomorrow night, however they have made a mark in the competition and with America.  They are the only duo to make it to a finale on any of The Voice seasons and their last two songs BOTH made it into the top ten of the iTunes singles chart.

But at the end of the day, there must only be one winner, and that winner to me is…..drum roll please…..DANIELLE BRADBERY!  Ever since Danielle stepped onto the stage for the blind auditions to sing her rendition of Taylor Swift’s, “Mean” I knew she was destined for greatness.  Week after week her singles excel on iTunes and she never receives negative criticism from the coaches.
