I Were a Boy

If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I’d roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I’d kick it with who I wanted
And I’d never get confronted for it.
Cause they’d stick up for me.

[Chorus]
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man.
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he’s taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

[Verse]
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it’s broken
So they’d think that I was sleepin’ alone
I’d put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she’d be faithful
Waitin’ for me to come home (to come home)

[Chorus]
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man.
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted (wanted)
Cause he’s taken you for granted (granted)
And everything you had got destroyed

[Vamp1]
It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say its just a mistake
Think I’d forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong

[Male]
You know when you act like that
I don't think you realize how it makes me look
or feel

[Beyonce]
Act like what
Why are you so jealous
It's not like i'm sleeping with the guy

[Male]
What

[Beyonce]
What

[Male]
I said yo
Why are you so jealous
It aint like I'm sleepin with the girl
[Vamp2]
But you’re just a boy
You don’t understand
Yeah you don’t understand
How it feels to love a girl someday
You wish you were a better man
You don’t listen to her
You don’t care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you’ve taken her for granted
And everything you have got destroyed
But you’re just a boy

Crush

Download Single

I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time deep inside
It was a rush
What a rush
Cause the possibility that you would ever feel the same way about me
It’s just too much
Just too much

Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized
So mesmerized
And I just got to know

Do you ever think
When you’re all alone
All that we can be
Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it really just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back, like the way I do?
Cause I’m trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain’t goin’ away

Has it ever crossed your mind when were hangin’
Spending time, girl, are we just friends?
Is there more? Is there more?
See it’s a chance we’ve gotta take
Cause I believe that we can make this into,
Something that will last, last forever
Forever

Do you ever think
When you’re all alone
All that we can be
Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it really just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back, like the way I do?
Cause I’m trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain’t goin’ away
Goin’ away

Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized
So mesmerized
And I just got to know

Do you ever think
When you’re all alone
All that we can be
Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it really just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back, like the way I do?
Cause I’m trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain’t goin’ away
(This crush ain’t) Goin’ away
Goin’ away

It's a fan dream come to life as Rihanna teams up with pop-rock band Maroon 5 for the single If I Never See Your Face Again. As she recently admitted, Rihanna can't hide her deep admiration for the band and their music. So when the band invited her to incorporate some vocals for the song, she didn't hesitate to nod. This song is included in Maroon 5's 2nd studio album It Won't Be Soon Before Long and to Rihanna's 3rd album Good Girl Gone Bad both of which is re-released. Vocal-wise their collaboration is great specially when they hit the high part where Adam Levigne and Rihanna's voice collide, it's really cool and brings that chill down your spine. They look good together in the video adding it's appeal in the charts. It gained the 11th spot since the single was first released in the U.S. iTunes apart from it's success in the Billboard's Hot 100 and Pop 100 charts. Expect more from this song as it will blaze it's way not only in the charts or in the digital downloads mark but also in the listeners and music lovers as well.

If I Never See Your Face Again

[Adam]
Now as the summer fades, I let you slip away
You say I’m not your type, But I can make you sway.
It makes you burn to learn, You’re not the only one
I'd let you be if you put down your blazing gun.

[Rihanna]
Now you’ve gone somewhere else, Far away
I don’t know if I will find you (find you, find you).
But you feel my breath, On your neck
Can’t believe I’m right behind you (right behind you).

[Both]
‘Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before
And if I never see your face again, I don’t mind
‘Cause we gone much further than I thought we'd get tonight

[Rihanna]
Sometimes you move so well
It’s hard not to give in.

[Adam]
I’m lost, I can’t tell
Where you end and I begin.

[Rihanna]
It makes you burn to learn
I'm with another man.

[Adam]
I wonder if he’s half
The lover that I am.

[Adam]
Now you’ve gone somewhere else, Far away
I don’t know if I will find you (find you, find you).
But you feel my breath, On your neck
Can’t believe I’m right behind you (right behind you).

[Both]
‘Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before
And if I never see your face again, I don’t mind
‘Cause we gone much further than I thought we'd get tonight

[Adam]
Baby, baby
Please believe me
Find it in your heart to reach me
Promise not to leave me behind
(Promise not to leave me behind)

[Rihanna]
Take me down, but take it easy
Make me think but don’t deceive me
Talk to me bout taking your time
(Talk to me, talk to me)

[Rihanna]
‘Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before

[Both]
And if I never see your face again, I don’t mind
‘Cause we gone much further than I thought we'd get tonight

[Both]
‘Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before
And if I never see your face again, I don’t mind
‘Cause we gone much further than I thought we'd get tonight

Natasha Bedingfield's Pocketful of Sunshine

2008-05-02T02:46:00.000-07:00

I just got a close encounter of this song through last week's elimination night of American Idol Season 7 where she performed it live. Taken from the album with the same title, this is her second single released from her Second American album. Afar from her current hit Love like This (with RnB's newest goldmine Sean Kingston), this song has much more power as far as the message and vocal prowess is concern. The song implies the message of hope amidst of doubt, beauty amidst of ugliness and strength in times of weakness, Natasha showcases her talent of writing songs close from her heart. What I notice about her is the different quality of her song when it is performed live and when it is recorded. Usually, live versions where the poorest version you can take but take Natasha's performance an exemption. She hit notes naturally and it doesn't sound like she's belting it out. Who knows, her live performance might be a major hit as far as digital downloads is concern.

Pocketful of Sunshine

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.

I got a love, and I know that it's all mine.

Oh.

Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me.

Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me.

No.

Take me away: A secret place.

A sweet escape: Take me away.

Take me away to better days.

Take me away: A higher place.

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.

I got a love, and I know that it's all mine.

Oh.

Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me.

Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me.

No.

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.

I got a love, and I know that it's all mine.

Oh.

Wish that you could, but you ain't gonna own me.

Do anything you can to control me.

Oh, no.

Take me away: A secret place.

A sweet escape: Take me away.

Take me away to better days.

Take me away: A higher place.

There's a place that I go,

But nobody knows.

Where the rivers flow,

And I call it home.

And there's no more lies.

In the darkness, there's light.

And nobody cries.

There's only butterflies.

Take me away: A secret place.

A sweet escape: Take me away.

Take me away to better days.

Take me away: A higher place.

Take me away: A secret place.

A sweet escape: Take me away.

Take me away to better days.

Take me away: A higher place.

Take me away: A secret place.

To better days take me away.

Take me away to better days.

Take me away: A higher place.

The sun is on my side.

Take me for a ride.

I smile up to the sky.

I know I'll be all right.

The sun is on my side.

Take me for a ride.

I smile up to the sky.

I know I'll be all right.

You stand by while he lies

I can’t take to see your face
With those tears runnin down your cheeks
But what can I do

Cause deep down I’m still a G

And I don’t want to come between you and your man
Even though I know I'll treat you better than he can

Till you see that with me it ain’t the same

You’re a queen you should be
Gettin all that someone’s got
You should be rockin the latest in purses

You’re worth much more than an occasional
"I love you, I’m thinking of you"

And I don’t wanna come between you and your man no
Even though I know I'll treat you better than he can

Amy Winehouse bagged 5 major awards in the recently concluded Grammy awards held at Staples Center in Los Angeles. From her six nod, she won five including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, New Artist, Pop Vocal Album and Female Pop Vocal Performance. She sang "You Know I'm No Good" and "Rehab" via satellite from London as she received her awards with tears of joy. We all know her drug-addiction issues but this recognition serves as her catalyst to promote her music more than her image.

Aside from Winehouse, Kanye West's Graduation album garnered four awards including Rap Album of the Year, Rap Solo Performance for his song "Stronger", Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for "Southside", and Rap Song for "Good Life". There are notable performances in that night including Alicia Keys "duet" with Frank Sinatra (appeared in black and white on a video screen) with the song "Learnin' the Blues". Not only that Kanye rapped Stronger with Daft Punk filling the beat as the former dedicates his performance to his late mother Donda. Seems like Grammy gives chance to our demented singer.

Shakira takes-off clothes for Charity

2008-02-06T11:13:00.000-08:00

Hip-shaking diva Shakira strips off for a good cause as she auctioned her clothes. This said event is held to gather funds for the benefit of Bare Feet Foundation.

Sarah Bareilles' Love Song

2008-01-31T11:40:00.000-08:00

"Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well but you make this hard on me"

This line is borrowed from Sarah Bareilles' song Love Song from her debut album Little Voice. Fused with her melodic voice and sweet-sensation of pop, you might notice that she sounded like Colbie Caillat. Once you heard her song again and again, you will notice the difference. First, the harmony of piano in Love Song compared to the sweet-strum of guitar for Colbie Caillat's Bubbly. Meanwhile, after its release in iTunes as a free song on June 16, 2007, it peaked at the U.S. Billboard Top 100 and earning its #32 spot in Hot Digital Songs. The song's standings as of this moment is now at the #9 spot in Billboard's Hot 100 list. She might be compared to other artists of her genre but she's unique having no formal training in piano and voice which is rare among the artist of today.

Love Song

Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
You made room for me but it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands

I'm unusually hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
Make or breaking this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

I learned the hard way
That they all say things you want to hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and
Your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
Make or breaking this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

Promise me that you'll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
'cause I believe there's a way you can love me
Because I say
I won't write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
Is that why you wanted a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that
There's a reason to
Write you a love song today

Mary J. Blige's Just Fine

2008-01-16T13:22:00.000-08:00

This song is from the Queen of Hip Hop Mary J. Blige's eight studio album Growing Pains. The moment I listen to the song, it got its upbeat melody that's perfect for a house party right at your next block. Not only the rhythm is catchy, the lyrics also implies women empowerment as it encourage women to be strong enough to stand against all odds even without men in their lives. The album alone sold 629,000 copies on its first week alone that made it at the second spot at Billboard's 200 Album charts. The success of the album gone too far as it gained its post at #29 in Rolling Stone's Top 50 Albums of 2007. Meanwhile, the song Just Fine remained at good standing in both Hot 100 and RnB charts of Billboard not to mention it got a nod at this year's Grammy's in Female RnB Vocal Performance category. Truly, she's a remarkable talent amidst her not-so-good beginnings as a performer.

JUST FINE Lyrics

You know I love music
And every time I hear something hot
It makes me wanna move
It makes me wanna have fun
But it’s something about this joint right here
This joint right here
Its makes me wanna…..Woooh

Let it go……
Can’t let this thing called love get away from you
Feel free right now, go do what you want to do
Can’t let nobody take it away, from you, from me, from we
No time for moping around, are you kidding?
And no time for negative vibes, cause I’m winning
It’s been a long week, I put in my hardest
Gonna live my life, feels so good to get it right

So I like what I see when I’m looking at me
When I’m walking past the mirror
Don't stress through the night, at a time in my life
Ain’t worried about if you feel it
Got my head on straight, I got my vibe right
I aint gonna let you kill it
You see I wouldn’t change my life, my life’s just…..

Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
You see I wouldn’t change my life, my life’s just fine

Feels so good, when you’re doing all the things that you want to do
Get the best out of life, treat yourself to something new
Keep your head up high
In yourself, believe in you, believe in me
Having a really good time, I’m not complaining
And I’m a still wear a smile if it's raining
I got to enjoy myself regardless
I appreciate life, I’m so glad that it's fine

So I like what I see when I’m looking at me

When I’m walking past the mirror
Aint worried about you and what you gonna do
I’m a lady so I must stay classy
Got to keep it hot, keep it together
If I want to get better
See I wouldn’t change my life, my life’s just…..
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
See I won’t change my life, my life’s just fine

I ain't gon’ let nothing get in my way
(I ain't gone let nobody bring me down, no, no, no)
No matter what nobody has to say
(No way, no way, no way)
I ain’t gon’ let nothing get in my way
No matter what nobody has to say

Feels so good, when you’re doing all the things that you want to do
Get the best out of life, treat yourself to something new
It’s a really good thing to say
That I won’t change my life, my life’s just fine

Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh

Low is from Flo Rida's debut album Mail on Sunday which will be released on February of this year. The song describes sexy ladies hitting the clubs which of course more of a T-Pain style. It set a record in Billboard Magazine History garnering 470,000 digital copies of the single intended for the January 12 charting. The song itself is fast-rising and who knows, another follow-up song will make way for Flo Rida's fate o' fame.

Britney Spears tops The Buzz 100 list

2008-01-02T12:56:00.000-08:00

She's definitely a noise-maker last year and there's no wonder that Britney Spears claimed the top spot at the Billboard's most blogged celebrities. From her child custody issues to her alleged pregnancy, she rocked the four corners of the entertainment world. Since the release of her album last October of 2007, it placed no. 2 in Billboard's 200 chart and her singles Piece of Me and Gimme More received the same reception taking their own spots in Hot Digital Song, Pop 100, Hot Dance Airplay, and Hot 100 all in courtesy of Billboard.com. The album per se is the best among Britney's roster of albums but bad publicity greatly affects her album sales, not to mention its scandalous album jacket where she used religious paraphernalia.

Piece of Me

I’m Miss American Dream since I was 17
Don’t matter if I step on the scene
Or sneak away to the Philippines
They still gon put pictures of my derrière in the magazine
You want a piece of me?
You want a piece of me…

I’m Miss bad media karma
Another day another drama
Guess I can’t see the harm
In working and being a mama
And with a kid on my arm
I’m still an exceptional earner
you want a piece of me?

I’m Mrs. 'Lifestyles of the rich and famous'
(You want a piece of me)
I’m Mrs. 'Oh my God that Britney’s Shameless'
(You want a piece of me)
I’m Mrs. 'Extra! Extra! This just in'
(You want a piece of me)
I’m Mrs. 'She’s too big now she’s too thin'
(You want a piece of me)

I’m Mrs. ‘You want a piece of me?’
Tryin’ and pissin’ me off
Well get in line with the paparazzi
Who’s flippin’ me off
Hopin’ I’ll resort to some havoc
End up settlin’ in court
Now are you sure you want a piece of me?
You want a piece of me…

I’m Mrs. ‘Most likely to get on the TV for strippin' on the streets’
When getting the groceries, no, for real..
Are you kidding me?
No wonder there's panic in the industry
I mean, please, do you want a piece of me?

I’m Mrs. 'Lifestyles of the rich and famous'
(you want a piece of me)
I’m Mrs. 'Oh my God that Britney’s Shameless'
(You want a piece of me)
I’m Mrs. 'Extra! Extra! this just in'
(You want a piece of me)
I’m Mrs. 'She’s too big now she’s too thin'
(You want a piece of me)

I’m Miss American Dream since I was 17
Don’t matter if I step on the scene
Or sneak away to the Philippines
They still gon put pictures of my derrière in the magazine
You want a piece of me?
You want a piece piece of me…

You want a piece of me?

I’m Mrs. 'Lifestyles of the rich and famous'
(You want a piece of me)
I’m Mrs. 'Oh my God that Britney’s Shameless'

BUBBLY

I've been awake for a while now
You've got me feelin' like a child now
Cause everytime I see your bubbly face
I get the tingles in a silly place

It starts in my toes
And I crinkle my nose
Where ever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Where ever you go

The rain is fallin' on my window pane
But we are hidin' in a safer place
Under cover stayin safe and warm
You give me feelins that I adore

They start in my toes
Make me crinkle my nose
Where ever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Where ever you go

What am I gonna say

When you make me feel this way
I just-mmm..

It starts in my toes
Make me crinkle my nose
Where ever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Where ever you go

Dada dada dadada dada dum..
Mmm mmm..

I've been asleep for a while now
You tuck me in just like a child now
Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth

It starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feelin shows
Cause you make me smile baby
Just take your time now
Holdin' me ti-i-ight

Where ever, Where ever, Where ever you go
Where ever, Where ever, Where ever you go

Your Guardian Angel

When I see your smile,
Tears run down my face.
I can't replace.
And now that I'm strong, I have figured out,
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul.
And I know I'll find deep inside me,
I can be the one.

I will never let you fall. (let you fall.)
I'll stand up with you forever.
I'll be there for you through it all. (through it all.)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven.

It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay-e-ay-e-ay.

Seasons are changing,
And waves are crashing,
And stars are falling all for us.
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter,
I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall. (let you fall.)
I'll stand up with you forever.
I'll be there for you through it all. (through it all.)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven.

'Cause you're my, you're my, my-e-y-e-y,
My true love, my whole heart.
Please don't throw that away.
'Cause I'm here... for you!
Please don't walk away and,
Please tell me you'll stay... here!

Whoa-oh!
Stay!
Whoa-oh!

Use me as you will!
Pull my strings just for a thrill!
And I know I'll be okay,
Though my skies are turning gray! (gray! gray!)

I will never let you fall!
I'll stand up with you forever!
I'll be there for you through it all,
Even if saving you sends me to heaven!

I will never let you fall!
I'll stand up with you forever!
I'll be there for you through it all,
Even if saving you sends me to heaven! (fade out)

Paul Van Dyk Feat. Jessica Sutta - White Lies (Radio Version)

Uh oh
I'm being pulled into the fire of intoxic flame
I'm too close
And there's a good chance that I won't get away
And I needed going into the daylight
And I'm looking for it into the night
Then I think about it and I can't live without it
You're telling me that that's alright

Can't get enough
Can't get enough
When you're telling me the white lies
Champagne
It's getting rough and I wanna know
If I'm addicted to your white lies
In vain
Can't get enough
Can't get enough
When you're telling me the white lies
Champagne
It's getting rough and I wanna know
If I'm addicted to your white lies
In vain

Don't go
I tell myself that I'm not really hooked on you
But I know

If I stay then your use will become abuse
When I'm trying not to break the fever
And the madison just won't take
Then I think about it and I can't live without it
You're telling me that that's alright

Can't get enough
Can't get enough
When you're telling me the white lies
Champagne
It's getting rough and I wanna know
If I'm addicted to your white lies
In vain
Can't get enough
Can't get enough
When you're telling me the white lies
Champagne
It's getting rough and I wanna know
If I'm addicted to your white lies
In vain
Can't get enough
Can't get enough
When you're telling me the white lies
Champagne
It's getting rough and I wanna know
If I'm addicted to your white lies
In vain
