Katy Perry FT. Snoop Dog - California Gurls

An OK new dance song from the now pregnant Katy Perry. This is her latest single after featuring in Starstrukk.
A strong beated synthetic song, with very good electronic effects added to it, and with the rap by Snoop Dog, the song is really going for greats.
However, it is a very basic song, and does not have the unique "WOW!" factor about it.

6/10

Lady Antebellum - Need you now

This "pop"" genre of music is very similar to that of take that or west-life in this song. Although it's not for me, I do like the cool Hawaiian effects on guitar which gives it that extra detail, and the clever back beat which is not to strong. Lady Antebellum has a very strong voice and I'm sure she will go a long way during her music career in the future.

Great Potential

Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina - Stereo Love

For both Edward and Vika, this is there UK chart debut. The music has a sort of french style to it, with some very english/ american scales to it, creating a nice affect.

To be honest I don't really like the synthetic drum beat for the rest of the verse, but, I sure they will fix that in future songs.

The video is frankly rubbish (don't get it!) and the chorus of the song is probally the best bit of the whole song.

They both have potential for some improvement, but I will be lenient with them.

6/10

Lady Gaga - Alejandro

Lady Gaga starts the song by putting on a frankly weird European voice, and basically explains the song at the start. Recently, the French style music has become popular, with "stereo-love" and now Lady G's new song. This song is quite similar to her December single, "love game," as it has the same beat, but is obviously saying a totally different song. The catchy chorus really gets in your head, but is a good song to has in your head because it is amazing!

The song is truly excellent, and I do expect it to get into the UK top 10, and The US Billboard charts soon.

8/10

B.O.B FT.Bruno Mars - Nothing On You

This is an amazing song that was released on radio about a month before its iTunes release. Give this song a chance, as the chorus can seem quite distasteful but in fact simply acquired. The rhythm is addictive and catchy. This Hip Hop song is sure to stay in the charts for a while.

8/10
