Kelly Clarkson "Walk Away'" Rapidshare Music Video MV|뮤직 비디오|동영상|試聴 視聴 mp3 PV 動画 映画 歌詞
MTV TakeAway Rating - 
The Bottom Line
One of the most impressive things about "Walk Away," the new single from Kelly Clarkson, is that this is the 5th single from her smash album Breakaway. By this time, typically, the artist is beginning to scrape the bottom of the barrel to wrestle one last hit. This single is one of the best songs from the album.
Pros
- Kelly Clarkson rocks again
- Classic pop-rock style
- Illustrates her versatility
Cons
- Difficult to find a real negative here
Description
- Throbbing bass
- Anthemic chorus
- A vocal request to demonstrate commitment by action not just words
Guide Review - Kelly Clarkson - Walk Away (RCA)
After spawning 4 major top 10 singles ("Breakaway," "Since U Been Gone," "Behind These Hazel Eyes," and "Because of You") and spending 60 weeks in the top 20 of the pop albums chart, you might expect the album Breakaway to be running out of steam, but then along comes the 5th single "Walk Away." It is a pop-rock anthem that may not quite reach the status of "Since U Been Gone" but rivals any of the album's other singles in quality.
"Walk Away" is one of 5 collaborations with studio MVP Kara DioGuardi from the album and the first to be released as a single. DioGuardi has become one of the most sought after songwriter/producers playing key roles on hits from Ashlee Simpson's "Pieces of Me" to Lindsay Lohan's "Confessions of a Broken Heart." For additional insurance Canadian couple Chantal Kreviazuk and Raine Maida, frequent Avril Lavigne collaborators, assisted on "Walk Away."
Kelly Clarkson is arguably the most talented vocalist and song interpreter DioGuardi has worked with, and she drives home the song's insistence on romantic commitment with grit and style. Clarkson has said "Walk Away" is her Annie Lennox-type song, and her singing here does bear some resemblance to Lennox' gut-bucket approach to rock-oriented songs, particularly in a nearly a capella passage just past the song's midpoint. Look for this single to be in the pop top 10 soon.

Tim McGraw "If You're Reading This" Rapidshare Music Video MV|뮤직 비디오|동영상|試聴 視聴 mp3 PV 動画 映画 歌詞
I don’t know if Curb plans to send this song to radio as a single, but this live recording from the ACM Awards could climb the country charts based solely on unrecruited spins. I haven’t liked anything that Tim has released since “Live Like You Were Dying,” but “If You’re Reading This” is one of the greatest and most timely recordings of his career. As such, a studio recording deserves an official single release. Some of the power of the ACM performance is lost without the visual element; studio instrumentation and a more polished vocal would elevate this song to the level that it deserves. Still, as live recordings go, this one is close to perfect. Eliminate the crowd noise at the beginning and the end and iron out a few pitch problems and you’re left with something almost transcendent. This is a song that needs to be heard in whatever form it is released. It shouldn’t take much for it to become a career song for an artist assuming legendary status.

Kelly Clarkson "Never Again" Rapidshare Music Video MV|뮤직 비디오|동영상|試聴 視聴 mp3 PV 動画 映画 歌詞
K elly’s album is set to be one of the most interesting of the year. She’s defied her record company and shunned the Since U Been Gone hitmakers (who’ve since worked with Pink and Avril) to steer her own sound. This first single mixes Pat Benatar-style 1980s pop/rock with Alanis-style angst (the lyrics are a dumbed-down You Oughta Know). It’s low on hooks and melodies; the previously unheard sound of an Idol risking it all in the name of not compromising.
3/5 stars

The retro wheel continues to turn down south with these Melbourne rockers the buzz du jour in LA and their hometown, having just signed to seminal label Alberts here (home of AC/DC, Beasts Of Bourbon, Dallas Crane). The debut EP opens with lead track, It Goes Off, which has been scoring US radio airplay and reveals a strong melodic sense with classic rock riffs. The production is pretty muddy but you get the general idea that these guys have a few strong tunes.

This song gives me chills every time I hear it (which is pretty often, cause i have the Daughtry album on "repeat all" in the CD player of my truck)...it's about coming back home to what is comfortable, rather than what is unfamiliar...I love this song, and I love this album...there is not a single bad song...no, there isnt even a single mediocre song on this album...although I wasn't impressed by Chris's performance on Jimmy Kimmel the other night...still, this album is NUTS...unbelieveably amazing.

Maroon 5 "Makes Me Wonder" Rapidshare Music Video MV|뮤직 비디오|동영상|試聴 視聴 mp3 PV 動画 映画 歌詞
Maroon 5 were like the Fray of 2004. Seemingly overnight, they went from opening for Michelle Branch (Remember her? She was hot!) to complete and utter ubiquity. Their first song, "Harder to Breathe" or whatever, was an annoying piece of shit. But its follow-up, "This Love," was admittedly kinda catchy the first few times you heard it.
I enjoy my share of marginally talented pop-rock artists, but I wouldn't have posted about Maroon 5 had I not heard their new song and found it to be actually pretty dang good. Idolator, which posted an mp3 of it earlier today, compared it to the Whispers' "Rock Steady" (I'm saying though!), but I'm actually picking up more of a Thriller-era Michael Jackson vibe from it.
Am I saying it's that good? Obviously not, but it's a damn sight better than I would have expected. Lead singer Adam Levine is still pretty annoying, except when he's singing in his falsetto, in which case he's awesome, but it's the groove - a funky, '80s R&B-ish sort of thing, but with a somewhat more organic feel to it - that really makes "Makes Me Wonder."

Kelly Clarkson “Because of you” Rapidshare Music Video MV|뮤직 비디오|동영상|試聴 視聴 mp3 PV 動画 映画 歌詞
If you listen to the average indie kid then shows like the X Factor are killing music. The pop puppets that they produce are no better than the karaoke acts at a Butlin's talent show. Kelly Clarkson, along with Will Young and Girls Aloud, kicks a platinum record-sized hole in that argument.
All that pop reality TV does is draw back the curtain on the training and manipulation that takes place before an artist is released on the public. This has always been the case - it's just that these acts are forced to grow up in public. No amount of Pygmalion-styled direction can prolong a career beyond the first few singles if there is no real talent. A life of cruise ships and working men's clubs awaits those who somehow conned their way into the final stages of Pop Idol or the X Factor.
Kelly Clarkson was the winner of the very first series of American Idol and she has an advantage - she is undoubtedly talented. Firstly, there is her voice; here it's full of vulnerability, ache and wounded pride. It soars, it purrs. It carries a bruised sense of real emotion. Secondly, there is the co-credit on this single; the lyrics deal with an unnamed significant other who has twisted and damaged her psyche. When she sings; "I lose my way, and it's not too long before you point it out / I cannot cry, because I know that's weakness in your eyes," the pure hurt in her voice is heartbreaking. This is potent stuff, the piano arrangement reminiscent of Tori Amos in her most emotional naked state. A cut above Rik Waller, then.

Fall Out Boy “This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race” Rapidshare Music Video MV|뮤직 비디오|동영상|試聴 視聴 mp3 PV 動画 映画 歌詞
Fall Out Boy are only four albums into their career, but they exist in a climate so temperamental they already feel weary and primed for self-parody. In the video for their new single "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race", the band use characters from all their past videos, plus a few rock clichés (trashing hotel rooms, visiting the Playboy mansion, recording with a hip-hop producer) for a satire that's unusually self-aware for an emo band-- even one as good-humored and self-effacing as this.
But how’s the single? As self-referential as the video, but without the sense of humor. Incorporating an ill-advised drum machine for its Rob Thomas/Santana-meets-Timberlake verses and pre-chorus, the lyrics reach for more than they can grasp: "I am an arms dealer/ Fitting you with weapons in the form of words" explains the song title, not the metaphor. The stomp of the pre-chorus, and the full-bore, blown-out pop/punk chorus both go a long way towards redeeming that, but there's a telling line at the end of the second chorus-- "Bandwagon's full. Please, catch another"-- implying Fall Out Boy may have become their own guilty pleasure

Linkin Park "What I've Done" Rapidshare Music Video MV|뮤직 비디오|동영상|試聴 視聴 mp3 PV 動画 映画 歌詞
In true Linkin Park style, “What I’ve Done” chronicles the emotional journey of confession, forgiveness, and redemption -- all deeply spiritual themes. But let’s not jump ahead of ourselves and assume these are necessarily biblically based. Many, many worldviews, such as Islam and Hinduism, offer similar themes. The real question is how you attain forgiveness and redemption.
First the confession, “Cause I’ve drawn regret/ From the truth/ Of a thousand lies” and later “What I’ve done/ I’ll face myself/ To cross out what I’ve become.” The singer acknowledges wrongdoing, is remorseful, and willing to own up to his crime.
Forgiveness and redemption are at the heart of the Christian walk with God. Unlike any other religion, they are free because Christ already paid for all our sins. First John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
While Linkin Park correctly follows confession with forgiveness and redemption, they also imply that we can do this without God. Lines like “[I] Erase myself/ And let go of what I’ve done,” “I clean this slate” and “I’m forgiving what I’ve done” point to the very popular notion that we can sanctify ourselves -- we don’t need God’s help. Instead of asking God to cleanse us of our sins, we can just forgive our own sins and move on.
The problem with that view is that we aren’t gods; we do need God. We don’t have the power to forgive sins because all sin is against God, therefore only He can forgive us. Is it your place to forgive your sister for something she said to your mom? You may have been offended, too, but ultimately it’s between your mom and your sister. In the same way, all of our sins are ultimately against God because He’s the one who laid out the guidelines for us to follow. Once we understand true mercy and forgiveness, there’s no need to wallow in guilt and self-pity.
David wrote in Psalm 53:4, “Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight.” Spend some time meditating on his example of confession and repentance and thanking the Lord for his forgiveness.

Kings Of Leon "Fans" Rapidshare Music Video+review+lyrics/MV/試聴 視聴 mp3 PV 動画 映画 歌詞/뮤직 비디오/동영상
Kings Of Leon 'Fans' (Colombia) They may be pandering to their fans a bit on this one and shamelessly name-checking London (the Kings' first two albums didn't trouble the Top 50 in the US), but this is still outstanding. Taken from their number one album 'Because Of The Times', 'Fans' bursts with explosive drums, brooding guitars and obligatory yodels from. This is one single that we definitely can't live without this week. "And all the rainy days, they ain't so bad when you're the king." That's alright for you, mate, but they're pretty rubbish for the rest of us.

My Chemical Romance "Teenagers" Rapidshare Music Video And Review+lyrics/MV/試聴 視聴 mp3 PV 動画 映画 歌詞/뮤직 비디오/동영상
5/ 7/2007
GLAM... I suppose it was the next logical step for A&R pilferers My Chemical Romance.
But this is glam filtered through the Manic Street Preachers and chorus line cabaret. It's musically clichéd and lyrically a tad dubious - while the cover purports a message that "Violence is never the answer", the lyrical content (in particular the implication that "what you got under your shirt" will make the classmates who call you names "pay for the things that they did") providing an easily adaptable anthem for both sides depending on which lines you choose to shout the loudest.
Which, for a song intended to berate violence, seems something of a remarkably dangerous failing.

Hellogoodbye "Here In Your Arms" Rapidshare Music Video MV|뮤직 비디오|동영상|試聴 視聴 mp3 PV 動画 映画 歌詞
The Bottom Line
Infused with the best use of vocoder in top 10 pop since Cher's mega-smash "Believe," Hellogoodbye's "Here (In Your Arms)" is a refreshing piece of electro indie pop. It has taken some time for the song to be recognized by pop radio, but, with a boatload of catchy hooks, Hellogoodbye are a very promising band with more great songs where this came from.
Pros
* Sweet love lyric
* Fun use of the vocoder
* Irresistible pop melody
Cons
* Really just a wisp of a song
Description
* Sweet, gentle vocals awash in vocoder and echo
* Instantly catchy melody
* Pleasing blend of traditional instrumentation and electronic effects
Guide Review - Hellogoodbye - Here (In Your Arms)
There is a very appealing sweet, naive tone to the voice of Forrest Kline, lead vocalist of California-based indie pop band Hellogoodbye. When it becomes awash in Cher-style vocoder effects on the chorus, the listener can do little but smile. The sound lies somewhere between mainstream power pop and Daft Punk.
If there is a downside to "Here (In Your Arms)," it's that there really is very little of a song here. It's a very simple idea expanded out for almost 4 minutes. However, the sheer joyfulness of the sound and the goofy humor of the band's accompanying video are likely to win you over. Put this on your iPod, and you will be singing along in no time.
The pop radio success of "Here (In Your Arms)" is potentially a good sign for more attention to the richness of indie pop music. It's also a great introduction to a band that has much more where this came from.

Sean Kingston "Beautiful Girls" Rapidshare Music Video MV/試聴 視聴 mp3 PV 動画 映画 歌詞/뮤직 비디오/동영상
Rating - 
The Bottom Line
It's a slice of reggae-pop minimalism for summer 2007. Kingston's debut single welds a simple lyric onto heavily sampled instrumental tracks from Ben E. King's classic "Stand By Me." Sean Kingston's somewhat unpolished nasally vocals could wear thin quickly or "Beautiful Girls" may be just what you need for a singalong with the top down on the convertible on the way to the beach. I'm giving the teenager the benefit of the doubt and leaning to the latter category.
Pros
- Breezy summer reggae fun
- Makes the word "suicidal" work in a pop song
Cons
- Kingston's vocals may wear thin quickly
Description
- Kicks off with the unforgettable instrumental intro to Ben E. King's "Stand By Me" in the background
- Sean Kingston disses mean, beautiful girls in a reggae chatting style
- Bright, sunny, summer sound
Guide Review - Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls
17-year-old Jamaican-born Sean Kingston has a strong music pedigree. His uncle is reggae artist Buju Banton, and his grandfather was a reggae producer. "Beautiful Girls" is reminiscent of Akon's helium-voiced reworking of Bobby Vinton's "Mr. Lonely" 2 years ago that landed him in the pop mainstream with the top 5 hit "Lonely." Instead of borrowing from Bobby Vinton, Sean Kingston takes the work of another early rock icon, Ben E. King, and sculpts the instrumental track for "Beautiful Girls" by borrowing heavily from "Stand By Me."
This is the first time in my recollection that the word "suicidal" has been put so obviously front and center in a mainstream pop song. It works here, and it doesn't seem nearly as startling as it might have if Rihanna had not equated cheating on a lover with murder on her hit "Unfaithful." Those "beautiful girls" can be rough on a guy's ego!
The melody of "Stand By Me" is indeed classic, and Sean Kingston has an appealing, fresh-faced approach. You just might find yourself singing "su-i-cidal" all summer long.

Young Buck "Get Buck" Rapidshare Music Video MV|뮤직 비디오|동영상|試聴 視聴 mp3 PV 動画 映画 歌詞
MTV TakeAway Rating - 
The Bottom Line
While Young Buck's 'gangsta' hasn't been questioned, doubters of his commercial appeal can give it a rest, too.
Pros
- Polow da Don's gleaming synths add flavor.
Cons
- Buck's bland lyrics are incongruent with the grimy beat.
- Lacks originality.
Description
- "Get Buck" is the second single from Buck The World.
- Produced by Polow da Don, the boardsman behind Rich Boy's "Throw Some D's."
- Buck The World is Young Buck's sophomore album.
Guide Review - Young Buck - Get Buck (G-Unit)
After a steady stream of street material with Whoo Kid and DJ Drama, Buck primes listeners for his Buck The World sophomore set by reaffirming his affinity for club numbers and trunk rattlers. As Polow Da Don gives his best Timbaland impersonation with booming horns and space whirs, Buck's charismatic baritone and measured flow should keep heads nodding and offer a friendly alternative to a presumably tougher LP.

Common "the People" Rapidshare Music Video MV/試聴 視聴 mp3 PV 動画 映画 歌詞/뮤직 비디오/동영상
Common - The People (Geffen)
The Bottom Line
Once again, Common has teamed up with fellow Chicagoan and producer extraordinaire, Kanye West, for his newest single, "The People."
Pros
- Common's characteristically smooth flow
- Insightful lyrics
- Tight production
- Overall formidable lead single
Cons
- Potentially polarizing and self-righteous lyrics
Description
- Lead single from Common's seventh album, Finding Forever
- Signature Kanye West production.
- Consistent rhymes.
Guide Review - Common - The People (Geffen)
Few things could be more refreshing for the summer than a new single from Common. For those who were hungry for some new stuff after 2005's Be, this single is a tasty appetizer before the main course. In the space of a three-minute and thirty-one second track, Common rhymes about survival, enlightenment, a Grammy Awards snub, and a chance encounter with Stevie Wonder. No region is excluded as he represents globally and locally: "From Inglewood to a single hood in Botswana...Standing in front of the judge with no honor/I'm about to ignite the people like Obama."
Lyrics on the races' priorities and "the struggle" have the potential to be polarizing and self-righteous. That aside, "The People" is sure to leave fans eager with anticipation.

Mims: “This Is Why I'm Hot” Rapidshare Music Video MV|뮤직 비디오|동영상|試聴 視聴 mp3 PV 動画 映画 歌詞
So what's up with this song's meteoric popularity? From a commercial standpoint, MIMS knows very well that the street poet image that characterizes the typical East Coast emcee is not relevant on the radio. With that said, while striving to "bring New York back" like his peers, MIMS decides to take a different route. What he's chosen to do is replicate the energy of the reigning South and he pulls it off! In the process, he sheds love towards the soulful style of the Midwest, the whip-riding frenzy of the hyphy movement and the G-funk of the West Coast. He still "reps" New York though, and although he knows he's not pitching to fans from a lyrical angle, he still manages to keep his rhymes fresh with a likable, repetitive flow that stays stuck in your head and "that's why it's hot."
With a self-made hustler mentality propped heavily by his Myspace popularity (7 million spins and counting), MIMS is positioned to be the 2007 version of Mike Jones. With "This Is Why I'm Hot" continuing to burn up the charts, he's proven what he's got, but let's see if he can stay on top.
