Gaga sounds so average, which is really unlike her. I saw her mentoring the American Idol contestants recently and I must admit I am stunned by her level of advice – she knows what she’s talking about! However, I think she should take her own advise with this song because...
4 Biggest Career Change Boo-boos
posted by Gallivanter
A long time ago, when there are many rats in the rat race, people tend to remain with the same job for life in return for a modest pension and some dodgy gold watch. Stability was key. These days though, a career jump is often the only way to generate an income increase. I know a few people...
James Durbin – I’ll Be There For You (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
If you don’t put the face behind the voice, you’d think this is some street singer in the early stages of the verses. He’s clearly no Jon Bon Jovi as he tries to make this song his own, and I think, not really a good job. I’m worried about James Durbin, as his live...
James Durbin – Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
I was in awe of the live performance of this track and the studio version felt short of recreating that magic. It sounds like it’s a rushed recording and I think Durbin needs to get back into the studio to re-record it and bring that live magic he delivered during Idol performance....
Bruno Mars featuring Claude – Girl I Wait (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Bruno Mars is the man of the moment, despite his dodgy hairdo. He joins forces with Claude (how unique of a musician name is that?) with a slow track and delivers like he always does. It’s not a full song is one of my 2 gripes for this song, the other – Claude can’t really...
Jordin Sparks – I Am Woman (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
This could arguably be one of Jordin Sparks’ better songs to date but also in danger of trying to sound too much like Beyonce. However, it’s a refreshing change from her with all her slow mid-tempo songs in the past that made her sound one-dimensional. While it’s not a catchy...
Akon – Burn That Bridge (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Akon, like Pitbull, have been churning the most songs between them in the last year to the point that the songs begin to have similarities. Of course, it’s from the same artist, so you will get the similar signature, but I think Akon needs to take the chill pill instead of releasing a...
Jason Derulo – Don’t Wanna Go Home (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Jason Derulo samples 2 songs – Harry Belafonte’s “Banana Boat Song” and Robyn’s “Show Me Love”. Some parts, it works but in most parts, it sounds a little too redundant. I guess that’s the downfall of sampling one songs too many as it just feels...
Children Learning to Swear Early
posted by Gallivanter
It is unfortunate but it is reality. I’m not sure how I’d handle my own children in the future, as you won’t be able to control external factors from affecting their behavior. I don’t know if kids are learning to swear from watching TV, but I’m guessing it’s...
3 Doors Down – Every Time You Go (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Another pathetically constructed song by 3 Doors Down, seem bent to not repeat their success all those years ago with “Here Without You” and “Superman”. It’s been down the drain since then and they continue to fight a deeper pit to sink in. This song...
K Drew – Dirty Dancer (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Another new artist that is riding on today’s music’s genre – hip hop pop dance mish mash. Everything about this track sounds like a template – nothing original about it, yet it has the catchiness that has made many songs who attempted the same surfaced over they years....
J Randall – Still Here (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
He sounds like Chris Brown. In other words, J Randall doesn’t have much of a backbone in terms of being unique. If this was a Chris Brown release, it could’ve been more acceptable to the ears knowing that it’s his signature. But for J Randall… DOWNLOAD J Randall...
