I love your choices! I particularly like Pink.
ReplyDeleteHmm....
ReplyDeleteSeems we've got different taste in music, Dezmond.
Oh, and thank you for your mention in the awards post about a week ago. I've been offline and unable to respond, but I certainly appreciate it!
@Lyndylove
ReplyDeleteyep, I love Pink too when she's lyrical and not overly epic :) Love her songs SOBER, JUST LIKE A PILL, DON'T LET ME GET ME, U AND UR HAND ...
Huge fan of Pink and I love Lady Gaga, too. Cool song choices, Dez. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post, Dezzy! I like that 'Secrets' song from One Republic and thanks for featuring that James Morrison song, haven't heard that one but it sure is nice. My Zumba instructor plays Pink's 'Raise Your Glass' and that never fails to energize me. Oh and Enrique Iglesias' 'I Like It' is pretty fun to dance to as well.
ReplyDelete@Melissa
ReplyDeleteglad you like it, and can't wait for Gaga's new album next month :)
@Flixy
Oh, I'm glad you like it, dahling! Did you know that Ryan Tedder from ONE REPUBLIC (who wrote SECRETS and ALL THE RIGHTS MOVES) actually wrote PLEASE DON'T STOP THE RAIN for James Morrison?
Bold and daring, Dezz!
ReplyDeleteBut I'd be disappointed if you conformed.
off course I'm bold and daring, Cassastarians can't do a thing to me .... ;)
ReplyDeleteWe have much the same taste dear Dezmond :)
ReplyDeleteI too love, LADY GAGA, ENRIQUE IGLESIAS, THE SCRIPT, JAMES MORRISON, CHERYL COLE, ALICIA KEYS, BEYONCE and PINK.
Good choices :)
I knew we do, Wendy dearest :) You should listen to HURTS too, I think you will love them :)
ReplyDeleteFunky-cool-spicy list ya got there! I'm a big Usher fan, so I'm happy to see a few of his songs on your list.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I've become a big fan of that song you recommended to me, Desert Rain by Edward Maya! My homies dig it too and I added it to my playlist. Big thanks!
Once again you've shown me how unwith it I am when it comes to modern entertainment trends. I am actually familiar with a few of these, but couldn't hum any of them (are songs still hummable?). Most however I don't know if I've heard or not. Very nicely presented list though.
ReplyDeleteMy list will be probably mostly songs that came out before you were born--oldies--but what else would you expect from me.

Tossing It Out
Keri Hilson is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWhat an assortment! I recognize them and that scares me a little at my age.
ReplyDeleteInteresting list, must say I don't listen to as much music as I once did so some I don't know.
ReplyDeleteMason
Thoughts in Progress
Great list! I can't believe I forgot to add PINK to my list! Great bunch of songs you've listed.
ReplyDeleteeeks! i've hardly heard of any of these songs!!! i must not be nearly as hip as you are dezz!! (but then i already knew that!):D
ReplyDeletei like hayley williams and adam lambert. i should check out those songs! :)
Out of the list Hurts is my fav :)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Hurts but I like it!
ReplyDeleteGreat pop songs, Dezz! My fave on your list is BAd Romance (but I prefer the 30 seconds to mars version, but still have Gaga songs on my iPod too!) and I just bought Grenade today (by my 11 yr old son's request). My list will be up in the morn.
ReplyDeleteGreat list, I love most of these! I am a Gaga and Adam Lambert fan~ I love a lot of Enrigue's stuff, Toni, Pink, Usher, Timberland...
ReplyDeleteNice, You may me wonder, what would I pick.
I can't narrow it down to 10 songs, for Alex's challenge, but I will stop by and support those who do! Well Done~
Great post! I am having lots of fun exploring your choices! :)
ReplyDeleteYou broke the rules but I forgive you! Some awesome choices, especially Adam Lambert and Lady GaGa.
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten Songs

@Matty
ReplyDeleteI knew you would like my list, Matty :) My new dance tip for you is Arsenie REMEMBER ME, and don't forget to check out AKCENT in my right side bar ;)
@Arlee
yes, yes, all these songs are hummable and danceable :)
@StockGuy
indeed she is! :)
@Mary
why would that scare you, you should hit the dancefloor, Mary :)
@Jennee
ReplyDeletePink is great, glad you like my list :)
@Masy
join the party, Masy!
@Vics
yes, not all of these songs are known in USA, so that might be the reason :)
@Doo
HURTS is the best band that appear at the music scene in last five years! :)
@Clarissa
ReplyDeleteyou should listen to their songs WONDERFUL LIFE and BETTER THAN LOVE at YouTube too
@Kelly
I generally don't like Bruno Mars, but I totally love his GRENADE :)
@Ella
yes, it will be interesting seeing other people lists, even though they will go for all time favourites.
@Ellie
I always break the rules :) People expect that from me.
@Phylly
ah, love that, you should YouTube all of these songs :)
@iZombie
glad the Zombies like my music :)
Oh my goodness! I'm so behind the times. I don't think I've heard of any of these songs before. :o
ReplyDeleteBut I have now! :)
Oh, you've got some great tunes on that list. If I would've chosen my favorite songs from the year, it would have been easy - good idea.
ReplyDeletewhile our movie and tv interest line up, our music interest diverge wildly. That is cool though.
ReplyDeleteGreat, rich list. Adam Lambert should have won AI. Who was the other guy?
ReplyDeletehaha, awesome. I love the way you break the rules! Great list!
ReplyDeleteGreat picks! I've got Gaga on my list too!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your list. Lots I like here. Woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteI like your choices especially Adam Lambart. Pink and Lady Gaga I always listen too, great list Dezz
ReplyDelete@Emily
ReplyDeletethat's because most songs aren't American :)
@Tara
glad you like it, Tara :)
@Budd
well, I am from Europe after all :PP
@M Pax
indeed he should, I have no idea who the other guy was :)
@Hannah
ReplyDeleteI make rules, I don't follow them :)
@Stephanie
I'm guessing she's on lots of our lists :)
@Wendy
thanks for loving loving loving my list :)
@Dempsey
glad you like it, my dear ;) Can't wait for Adam's new album this autumn!
Your list would make for a great ipod shuffle!
ReplyDeleteOh I didn't know Ryan Tedder wrote that song, too. That explains it, he's a tremendous songwriter! Thanks for the info, Dezzy!
ReplyDeleteGreat list!! I love Bad Romance. Okay, I love Lady GaGa, who am I kidding?
ReplyDelete@Lydia
ReplyDeletethanks, Lydia, it's true :)
@Flixy
he makes the best songs ever, I literally adore him :) He made Beyonce's HALO, Jordin's BATTLEFIELD, J.Morrison's PLEASE DON'T STOP THE RAIN, Leona Lewis' BLEEDING LOVE and all the amazing songs from ONE REPUBLIC - APOLOGIZE, ALL THE RIGHTS MOVES, SECRETS...
@Jennie
we are all Gaga's little freaks :P
A little Pink and a lot of Lady Gaga - and you can't go wrong ;)
ReplyDeleteFemale vocalists ruled in 2010! Gaga, Kelly Rowland, P!nk, Alicia Keys - all amazing. Good to see Tinie Tempah on your list, too!
ReplyDelete@Elaine
ReplyDeletehe he that's the perfect recipe :)
@Cerebus
ah, that Tinie's song was absolutely amazing! Adore Turner's voice in the chorus!
A big list Dezmond. I can see you dancing around to some of these tunes. Great choices. James Morrison would be my pick from your list.
ReplyDeleteOn the upside, I've heard of most of these artists...unfortunately, I'm not familiar with these particular songs.
ReplyDeleteOverachiever! HAHA. Really awesome choices. Those are my favorite songs from Alicia Keys and Bruno Mars by far. I'm a huge fan of One Republic (though I'd have probably gone with Apologize) and I actually really like Gaga's Speechless, but it hasn't been mainstreamed yet. OH! And Pink is awesome. Have you heard her new one? Now those are some inspirational lyrics.
ReplyDeleteJust my opinion, but I think you should have saved this for the upcoming blogfest titled: "Top 30 Best Songs Of 2010".

Dezzy - I LOVE, LOVE Adam Lamber's Whattaya Want From Me. It was difficult for me not to include that song. It's a fav. You have a ton of great songs. You're awesome! =D
ReplyDeleteWow - so many terrific voices on your list - awesome :)
ReplyDeleteAn interesting list. It seems all hip-hop, and I haven't listened to this since I was . . well a long time ago. I liked the Hurt song, and I really need to see what all the fuss is about Lady Gaga and Usher.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
.........dhole
Your list is all kinds of awesome. LOVE IT! And your blog ... gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteCheater!
ReplyDeleteGreat picks, though. I really do like "Bad Romance." As much as I tried to fight it.
It's amazing how musical taste can vary lol. i enjoyed reading this anyway. and for the best romantic actress, GO SANDRA BULLOCK!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think with most of these I know I know them and I've likely heard them, but I can't place them mentally, ya know? I've a bit of a soft spot for Lady Gaga; I think she's the right shade of crazy that means I'm more interested in her music than I would be otherwise :)
ReplyDelete@L'Aussie
ReplyDeleteah, yes, James Morrison is such an amazing singer, love his mellow voice!
@Vicki
that's because I'm from Europe :)
@Paul
I generally don't like Alicia,but this song is really something special. APOLOGIZE is in my top 2 favourite songs of all times! Yes, I hear Pink's FUCKIN PERFECT :) Lovely song :)
@Stephen
there is such blogfest? :)
@RaShelle
ReplyDeleteAdam is our big love :) Can't wait for his new album this Autumn
@Jemi
yes, it's true, all of them have amazing voices :)
@Donna
ah, Donna, there are just two hip hop songs in the list - Tinie Tempah and Nelly :)
@Ali
thanks dear Ali ;)
@Karen
it's impossible not loving BAD ROMANCE :)
@Trisha
it's true, I've seen so many songs I've never heard of during this blogfest :)
@Jamie
oh, I so love that you love Gaga :))) I love people who have open minds when it comes to life and music :)
Nice choices. I've never heard James Morrison before, but I like that song. Thanks for the link :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you KNOW I love the Gaga!
you haven't? He's a great singer, he had a lovely duet BROKEN STRINGS with Nelly Furtado last year, and many great hits of his own before too!
ReplyDelete30 songs! Great idea, though, to focus on the last year. Gosh, I wonder what I would have picked...
ReplyDeleteplease tell us :)
ReplyDeleteI'm still not sure - I find myself listening to stuff thinking that it's new and then I find it's at least a couple of years old! You know you're getting older when [g]
