Guilty Pleasures

Demi Lovato-Don't Forget
I don't care how many people hate Demi Lovato, I love this song (But of course I do-I seem to love anything written by the Jonas Brothers). I love how simple the rhythm is and how the song is so quiet and timid but then all of a sudden it bursts out into this huge gut wrenching chorus and then dwindles back down again to just vocals and string instrumentation.




Taylor Swift-You Belong With Me
For awhile I hated Taylor Swift's guts. Then I saw this video. We're on good terms now. This song is just so clever. Ok, maybe clever is the wrong word to use-cute is probably a better choice. I can't even begin to explain how great of a sing-along song this is. I can't listen to this song and NOT sing the words. And while it's gotten played out from too much radio time, it's still a great one to listen to every now and then.



Justin Bieber-One Time
What the fuck is it with all the Ryan Sheckler look-alikes?! Ok, I'm usually against teens who've barely gone through puberty having record deals (cough cough DISNEY cough cough). But this kid is just so good! This honestly doesn't sound like the typical 14 yr-old pop song. It's got such a fresh beat and you have to admit, the kid can sing. Not to be a cougar or anything, but he's a little cutie as well. For a pip squeak, he's sure does have a lot of swagger.



Miley Cyrus-Party in the USA
Let's get this straight-I honestly dislike Miley Cyrus. I know I can only say that half-heartedly because I don't actually know her, but I hate the way she's portrayed in the media. Personally, I think she's your typical 17 yr old girl but tries to act way older than she is. I don't give a shit when she says "I'm a human being, I make mistakes". When you know you're by far the BIGGEST teen star today and a role model for MILLIONS of little girls everywhere-you don't make the mistakes that she's made. Sorry if I just trashed your favorite celebrity...But, despite wishing she'd fall off a cliff and break all her disgusting little teeth, I actually like quite a bit of her songs. Party in the USA is by far my favorite. From first listen, I only liked it because it had that feel good vibe to it. But then, I actually took time to fully listen to the lyrics and they're pretty well-written. I'm not gonna lie, the video kind of sucks ass though. Maybe it's just me, but I don't find a 17 yr old dancing around like a slut bag entertaining. Which is weird, considering I grew up watching Britney Spears, Christina Augilera and Jessica Simpson all do the exact same thing...
