2009! What a year this has been! From great music to more crap churned out by the X-factor(y). This year has had it’s highs, lows and then all out shit stinkers! First, I’ll take a look at my top singles of the year. Songs that made me want to shake my booty, songs with killer remixes and viz-ilicious videos!
This is part 1, then on Part 2 I’ll be taking a look at the worst of the worst. The kind of music that made you want to cover your ears and beg Jesus for mercy! So, if you wanna know what was good in 09, let this list be your guide!
Whitney Houston – “Million Dollar Bill” (Freemasons Remix)
This year Whitney has been on the comeback trail and boy did she ever come back! Now, I will say that most of her T.V appearances have been quite “off.” ( A special mention goes to the train wreck that was the X-factor performance!) But she has delivered one a-maizng song and seriously that’s pretty much all we can ask for from Ms. Houston at the moment. The original version of this song was a bit “blah” and it had a retro-feel that did not catch on, but as soon as the Freemasons got a hold of this jam, they turned it into pure dance floor gold! The song rocketed to no.5 on the UK charts giving her her first UK top 5 single in over 12,000 years! Ultra-GLAM!
Ke$ha -”Tik Tok (Fred Falke Remix Radio)”
When I first heard this song back in June, I just thought to myself I have to play this at my friends Summer B-day party. NO ONE knew the song but as soon as it came on the gays at the fiesta were t-workin’ to this as if it were Madonna’s latest tune. I LOVED this song from the first listen. Not only does Ke$ha have loads of slutty-I-don’t-give-a-fuck attitude, but she also looks like she’d be a hoot to party with! I mean, you just gotta love a girl with a $ sign in her name! Don’t half step on this bitch!
Last year I predicted that the entire world would know Lady Gaga’s name and this year I predict that 2010 will be covered with Ke$ha’s whore-ish ways! Have a listen at this kick ass remix of the song!
This has been my jam for quite some time now. I just love that these ladies sing about calling up a guy to go over to her house, fuck her and then just leave! From the front, from the back! With lyrics like that is there any reason NOT to include this song on any “best of” list? The song is fun, and has an ultra skanky beat that will make even the worst of the worst get their freak on! Check these girls out cos they mean business and this tune is for all those out there that just want the pleasure of gettin’ alil’ sumthin’, sumthin’ and NONE of the drama!!!
Annie – “Anthonio (Original Version)”
Probably one of the biggest tunes of the year BUT about 200 people heard it. I don’t know why the world won’t cut it’s shit out and just make Annie the superstar she deserves to be! I mean, she has has so many brilliant singles and none of them really have come through for her. It’s not because of the quality, that’s fo’sho! “Anthonio” is an A-mazing tune that has an stomping electro feel to it and the lyrics are actually quite sad. How anyone can make a tale about getting it on with a Brazilian and then him ignoring her, not knowing who she is after sexy times, and then having his baby, into a dance track really does deserve to RULE the pop world as far as I’m concerned.
This is one of those classic-feel-good Janet songs that is just always more than a pleasure to dance your ass off to. It’s vintage Janet and she keeps her “moist pussy” ramblings in check. After boring us with her over active vagina songs, Janet finally stuck a dildo in and made something fans have been asking her to do ever since “All For You,”: A Great Pop Song! This also deserved to be a no.1 smash, sadly it wasn’t. But you should def give this track a play, your booty will thank ya for it!
Frankmuisk – “Gotta Boyfriend?”
Frankmusik made a huge splash this year releasing his debut album and I even had the pleasure of reviewing his gig at G-A-Y for QX magazine. It was pretty amazing, just like his song “Gotta Boyfriend?” That for me is the best song on the album and should totally be released as a single cos it kinda toys with the Gays! How very universal. I adore the urgency of the beat! I’m also diggin’ his voice. Very sexy and let’s face it that’s not something a male British Pop singer is known to be! YUMMY!
Britney Spears – “3 (Disco Tech Radio Edit)”
Yes, Britney was everywhere in 09 and it was a pretty good year for her. (Although it was a horrible year for her hair! I mean sort it out already!) Luckily for us she released one of her best songs “3.” Many people thought that it was another attempt to get some attention by recording a song about having a 3some. Personally, I think Britters is a freak and if she wants to go around sleeping with 2, 3, 4 or 1,000 menz, I really couldn’t care less. But Britters just be safe, don’t be silly and put a condom on those willies! Love this song and the remixes are ACE!
David Guetta Feat. Kelly Rowland – “When Love Takes Over (Electro Radio Edit)”
A collaboration between David Guetta and Kelly Rowland is just pure heaven and it was about time that she recorded a song that was just an all-out dance tune! She can belt it out like the best of the disco divas and the song is just so fucking catchy! This is truly one of my Summer 09 anthems and I am sure that it was the song of the Summer, not just for my Gay ass! Not only do I adore this track but I also love me some Kelly! She just seems so down to earth compared to that slag, SASHA FIERCE! Hope to hear A LOT more of Ms.Kelly in 2010!
La Roux’s first song “In For The Kill” was a brilliant track although a tad annoying but it was fresh and was retro without sounding dated. The 2nd single “Bulletproof” made me LOVE this fiery minx. This is just a gem of a song! She’s singing with so much attitude for a white girl! You can almost hear her snapping her fingers in the background rolling her eyes that warn “don’t fuck wit me muthafucka!” This is the break-though group for 09 with an outstanding track!
Freemasons Feat. Sophie – “Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer) (Angger Dimas Remix)”
One of the best things about this past summer, was the fact that DANCE music was everywhere and so was this tune by the Freemasons and my beloved lil’ posh bitch, Brit Sophie Ellis-Bextor. I simply adore anything this woman does, just because she looks so fucking classy when she’s doin’ her thing. I love her accent (which some may find annoying) but there’s just something about her style and her persona that is somewhat of a mystery. How I love a mysterious bitch! They are the best kind you know! “Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer)” was a floor filler and the video really brought it all together! I want more of Sophie and the Freemasons. This Gay demands it!
