My Top 5 Songs of 2009.

All 2009 releases!
Who will come out on top?



Anyways here are my top 5 songs of 2009!

5. "All I Want" by Blasko
The first single from Blasko's third album "As Day Follows Night." Something haunting about this song, which most of her songs are. The lyrics reflect myself as I'm still finding who I am and want I want in life. Congrats for her winning Aria for Best Female 2009, which is the Australian Grammy.

4. "Want" by Natalie Imbruglia
Also the first single from Imbruglia's fourth studio album "Come To Life." This wasn't a good year for Natalie. Both L'Oreal and her record company dropped her, and she got divorced. Hence why "I hope you get all that you want, coz I didn't," and the music video shows that she still has the face. The album was a bit disappointing because Coldplay's Chris Martin butchered the Natalie's original album plans. Just because Coldplay touches your work, doesn't mean it'll be Gold.

3. "The Loving Kind" by Girls Aloud
The second single from Girls Aloud's fifth studio album "Out of Control," and also their 20th top 10 hit single in the UK. The song was co-written by Pet Shop Boys, which my father enjoyed and loves this song. It's a bit repetitive but I love the song in general. Can't wait for their comeback.

2. "What If" by Darin
I was introduced to Darin late this year and this track made me fall in love with his music. Coming from his fourth studio album "Flashback," he captures what current pop is all about. Hence why he worked with RedOne, Lady Gaga's producer, many times. Everything about this song is love. The piano, melody, lyrics, beat, music video and emotion reflects myself as a high school student. I would love to thank him in person for creating such a masterpiece with meaning.

1. "Fight For This Love" by Cheryl Cole
Cole is the first Girls Aloud member to venture out with a solo album "3 Words." This song was a grower but having the instrumental and learning the lyrics made me fall in love with it. I like the tone of her voice and the beat of the song. Very R&B influenced but still pop. It was a UK #1 for 2 weeks and it definitely tops my list.

Sorry for the lack of updates. So much fun things I wanted to post about, like Kylie Minogue's Hollywood Bowl show. Best pop concert I've ever been to!
