Hmmmm........
Girlfriend by Avril
Cupid's Chokehold by Gym Class Heroes (My friend played the original so many times before the second version came out, I was already sick of the song.
Party Like a Rockstar...I loved it at first, just because it was fun to listen to, then it became tired, as do most popular songs
Pretty much everything by JT... a song might catch on to me, but most songs do if I hear them enough, but I hate them
That's really about it. I mosts likely will go back to songs that were played out, in about a few months. They're fun to listen to in the car, as well as at the club. (Call me a sellout or whatever, I just don't take music as seriously as you all do I guess, but I enjoyed most of the "mainstream" stuff that came out, at least for a couple of weeks before it got heavily played).

YES. That is the WORST song in the history of popular music.
"Buy you a Drank" is in second place, lol.
There's so much crap that was released this year, it's hard to narrow it down.

I think I heard the song "Baby Mama" three times this year. That managed to be at least five times too many.
And I kept wishing American Idol would give us a rocker. Well, now I have Daughtry. Careful what you wish for.
And I'll put Amy Winehouse and MIA in a dead heat for the "If I Nod My Head And Agree That They're The Most Amazing Thing In Music Ever, Will You Promise To Never Play Them Again" award.

ALL RAP MUSIC THIS YEAR NEEDS TO BE BURNED AND FORGOTTEN!!!!!
Rap is not even music, its one guy at a mixing board one guy at a switch board and a guy at a mic creating beats - taking no musical talent what so ever!!!!!! its shit!!!

>>>Rap is not even music, its one guy at a mixing board one guy at a switch board and a guy at a mic creating beats - taking no musical talent what so ever!!!!!! its shit!!!
But life's too short to hate, huh?
We had a whole thread on this, but it bears repeating, especially for you, since you're supposed to be entering the commercial music field very soon.
When Elvis first appeared on the scene, he was widely derided by the tastemakers of the day as being "a country hick trying to sound like a Negro". By the standards of the day (Doris Day, Perry Como), he was this talentless hack.
When the Beatles first appeared on the scene, they were criticized for being this wild, long-haired, untamed freak show. By the standards of the day (Bobby Vinton, Lesley Gore), they were loud annoying screamers.
When Nirvana first appeared on the scene, they were criticized for being nothing more than talentless tuneless punks. By the standards of the day (Janet Jackson, Milli Vanilli), they were too loud and too harsh.
For whatever reason, in all three cases, the public didn't care and stuck with them.
The problem in all three cases is that people started erecting (false) barriers. They believe that "good music sounds like THIS" and anything that doesn't must not be good music. But see, there IS no one good standard by which to judge music. One of the reasons the three artists listed above are so widely praised now is that they helped us remember that. They helped tear down some of the artificial barriers that had been erected.
Rap music has a long, interesting (to me) history, from the jazz poets of the 60s and 70s, through the experimental 80s ("Rapper's Delight", Run DMC), through the grittier 90s (NWA) to the present day. Its use of heavy beats, sampling, and minimal music backing all have rationales and histories. I'm not a fan of most of it, to be honest, but that's not surprising - I'm over 30 and from the suburbs, and most hip-hop is aimed squarely at the young folks in the cities. But just because it's not my cup of tea doesn't mean I think it sucks. I'm not going to apply my standards of what constitutes "good music" to a different genre.
No musical talent whatsoever? Well, I don't know about your definiton of "musical", but if they're all such talentless hacks, next time there's an MC battle in your hometown, why don't you jump on stage and claim the $500? You know, since it requires so little talent? It actually takes a LOT of talent to "bust a rhyme" for over three minutes, and to use found sounds and beatboxes to make beats that are both spartan (can't be too complex - it'd detract from the show) AND maintain listener interest. It may be debatable how "musical" these talents are, but it certainly does take talent.
Perhaps there IS more pure musical talent in an average rock band then there is in an average rap ensemble. But so what? There's tons more musical talent in a symphony orchestra than there is in an average rock band. That doesn't make the orchestra "real music" and the rock band "crap".
I say all this mainly because I really think you should know, but also because, if memory serves, you're about to have an album out. With any luck, the album will do well. When that happens, there's gonna be various media outlets interviewing you. If and when that happens, if you let loose with a comment like the one above, it may negatively impact your career severely before it even gets going. There's nothing wrong with not liking rap music, or saying so. But to justify your dislike with comments like "it takes no talent" displays a certain ignorance. It's the sort of quote that'll be plucked out from a longer interview, and used again and again to show what kind of person you are.
Is that "fair"? I don't know, really, but it doesn't matter. We're busy people, and we live by the soundbite. And the media has papers and magazines to sell. "LifeIsAmazing Sings Nice Songs" won't sell papers. "LifeIsAmazing Calls Rappers 'Talentless'" will.
So get your head on straight. Be aware that from here on out, any sentence you say in public might be plucked out and used by itself. It won't matter if it was funny in context, or wasn't precisely what you meant - it can and WILL happen. Careers are made and broken by such casual comments. If you don't believe me, ask Elvis Costello what he thinks of Ray Charles.

I'm not even sure what's the point of Mika.
I dislike Rap. But there are few hip-hop/R&B tunes that are being played to death this year that stirred my interest.

Toby Keith - Love Me if You Can
Lyrics:
Sometimes I think that war is necessary.
Every night I pray for peace on Earth.
I hand out my dollars to the homeless.
But believe that every able soul should work.
My father gave me my shotgun that I'll hand down to my son, try to teach him everything it means.
(chorus)
I'm a man of my convictions. Call me wrong, call me right. But I bring my better angels to every fight. You may not like
where I'm going, but you sure know where I stand. Hate me if you want to, love me if you can.
I stand by my right to speak freely. But I worry 'bout what kids learn from TV. And before all of debatin' turns to angry
words and hate, sometimes we should just agree to disagree. And I believe that Jesus looks down here and sees us, and if you
ask him he would say
(chorus)
(chorus)
Bolded parts are particulary. This all coming from Mr. "We'll put a boot up your ass, it's the American way." Yet it went #1 on country radio anyway.

Well, if i like something i like it. I don't care how much they play it, i will forever like it.
If I get tired of a song it is because I never really cared about it to begin with and I hate it being constantly shoved down my ear canals.
I can safely say that NOTHING this year has satisfied me at all

Most of what "satisfied" me this year was fairly outside the mainstream. I nearly wore out this CD, even though I never heard it on the radio:
