drops of jupiter - train

well tell me
didja sail across the sun
didja make it to the milky way
to see the stars all faded
and that heaven is overrated

tell me
didja fall for a shooting star
one without a permanant scar
and then you missed me
while you were looking for yourself
out there

if you can afford me - katy perry

if you want me
it takes more than a wink
more than a wink
more than you think
if you want me
you're gonna have to break the bank tonight

if you wanna run
just name your price
and don't play cheap
with your heart
don't make the bet
if you can't write the check
for me, for me
cause i can be more
when you pay the cost

if you want me
i'm not a piece of ass

;D

rant #2 - ke$ha, blow video

as soon as i saw the "no mythical creatures were harmed in the making of this video" announcement, i knew that it was all gonna be a mess.
ke$ha is the most mainstream artist of the day. she's in the spotlight for appearing the way she is and being so risky. moving along.

the video starts with a glass of champagne being poured and it gives you the image of classiness. and then she starts to talk. this irrelevant CRAP about a bear putting on pants comes out of her mouth and she finishes by saying that she was elected to parliament. never in a million years, ke$ha, never in a million freaking years. did i mention she discussing with these two unicorn humans who can't control their eye movements? then, some dude sends her a piece of cheese. on a positive note, ke$ha looks the cleanest i've ever seen her in this video.
she makes her way over to this anonymous dude while licking unicorns and weaving through them while they make out. all very dramatic.
can we just discuss the attire in this video. she looks pretty appropriate at the cocktail party or whatever, but on the screen flash, it's a disaster. too much glitter and chains. the girl has GUNS ON HER SHOE, she's grinding on a uni-human and licking her fingers and randomly making out with one eyed uni-human. sooo seductive.
then, the guy rips off his sleeves and the rest of his jacket, because buttons are just so difficult. they both reach into their clothes and pull off their bras. (don't ask)
finally, we are introduced to anonymous man, whose name is james vanderdouche. so much class here, typical ke$ha. then, some STUPID dialogue about names, cheese, and dancing that will never occur. the dance is actually a laser shootout with laser bullets that turn into rainbows and sparkles. they are obliterating the uni-humans who actually seemed to be having a civilized time. ke$ha kills james and hangs his head on the wall. she laughs obnoxiously with a bunch of uni-humans and the video ends with an awkward staring contest type scenario.
complete bullspit.

dreaming with a broken heart - john mayer

the giving up is the hardest part
she takes you in with her crying eyes
then only once you have to say goodbye
wondering
could you stay my love
will you wake up by my side
no she can't
cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone
gone

roadtrip!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq1P9E9EUuQ

this link is for Rhett and Link's roadtrip songs. I love this video, there are so many good/forgotten songs that they touch upon. if you don't like the songs, too bad, just go about your business and be your bitter little self. o_o

if you like them, tell me about it!

praise #1 - rihanna feat. nicki minaj, raining men

i didnt expect this song to be as good as it was. the beat was solid, the lyrics make sense and it's a positivish song. nicki minaj really brings it all to life. in the past, i havent really liked her work, but this really did it for me. she seems really talented and i love her part!!! love. this. song.

all of  "Loud" in general seems really good. rihanna brought it this time and she's churning out hits. s&m has a fun beat and it's not a nasty song. fading, complicated, and california king bed seems to be her tributes to love/relationships. i feel that they are relevant and beautiful. and finally love the way you lie part 2 is just lovely. it isnt an angry song, like the original. it's much more musical and heartfelt, much more meaningful.l

this whole album has brought rihanna and nicki minaj at the top of my list.

next rant: ke$ha music videos (wtf...)

rant #1 ~ katy perry, e.t. video

***first, i must pay respects to king (itskinglseybitch) on youtube who has inspired my rants***

moving along.

personally, i love this song, and after i judged the single album cover she used on the "ft. kanye west" version, i thought the video was going to be a very cool, chic version of aliens. i expected heavy eyeliner and mascara, paired with some very shiny black blazers and probably leggings with a stilletto here or there.
maybe katy perry was trying to make a point, but all i see is a hot mess.
i admire her for trying to be unique, but this whole alien theme and indirect scenes of the superstar was too parallel universe to lady gaga's born this way/i'm in alien baby labor THING.
Anyway, we see this chick with horns wearing a sheet and flying through space in like one spot. We don't even get to see Katy's face until like tue first chorus. And all these random shots of STUFF happening doesn't really help either. I saw a flower blooming, which I could understand with all the love going on, but a freaking cheetah killing gazelle and random shots of bambi? REALLY KATY?
and then she randomly falls into a planet which is basically a giant junkyard of shiny things (and random pairs of perfect glasses). she finds this guy who is some sort of robot boy. ~SIDE NOTE: i loved her makeup in this scene, i think it was the best out of the whole video~ so she wipes the crap off of his face and some face picture thing appears like his face is a projector screen or something. and of course they kiss. but then everything jsut goes FREAKIN INSANE.
after she kisses him he turns into a naked human. specifically a naked albino black guy o_o (what is this, frog princess?) and then, katy dramatically lets go of her sheet and reveals giraffe legs. what. the. balls.
sooo, what? she's a tacky rhinoceros giraffe human alien? its a bit much if you ask me.

so they walk off into the sunset of this junkyard, giraffe legs and bare albino butt. hot mess.

love like woe - the ready set

Cause you're a pretty little windstorm out on the boulevard
Something like a sunset, oh you're a shooting star
And I might drive myself insane
If those lips aren't speakin my name

Cause I got some intuition,
or maybe Im superstitious
But I think you're a pretty sweet pill
that Im swallowing down
To counter this addiction
you've got me on a mission
Tell me darling, can I get a break somehow?
How can I say no?

fulltime - heather headly

i've had my share of disappointments
i've been struck by love
i've been blind for love
and wasted time for love
i've always lived by Mama's words so
never been a fool for love
tell you like my Mama told me
remember that your royalty
and it takes a real man to see
love is fulltime
overtime
all the time, now see
if he ain't man enough to see
then you gotta go, gotta roll, gotta leave
love is fulltime
overtime
all the time, now see
if he ain't man enough to see
then you gott roll, gotta go, gotta leave
tell me

private party - india.arie

all my life
i've been looking for
somebody else
to make me whole
but i had to learn the hard way
true love begins with me
this is not ego or vanity
i'm just celebrating
me
