Let’s review some new music:

–Britney Spears: Hold It Against Me–

I’d like to start by saying there is nothing special about this song.  Secondly I would like to remind people of another song that came out in 2009… it was Madonna’s Celebration which was completely panned by all for being too basic with a dated club sound.  Now fast forward to 2011 and Britney has released a song that is in my opinion also too basic with a dated club sound.  Apparently Madonna is still ahead of music trends… who knew?   I would also like to point out how this songs pattern is much like Rihanna’s Only Girl (In The World).  Listen to the two and tell me there isn’t a similarity.

In the end this song is lacking greatly in epic-ness! Comparing this song to the likes of Oops… I Did It Again, Gimme More, and Womanizer (other lead singles) this one just has no unique qualities to it.  I’ve listened to it 5 times now, and I am already bored.

HATE IT!

–Avril Lavigne: What The Hell–

Over the years I have grown to like Avril Lavigne’s music, but don’t get me wrong I still hate Sk8r Boi… possibly one of the worst songs ever made.  But with songs like Don’t Tell Me, Keep Holding On and I’m With You (one of my personal favorite songs ever) she has certainly grown.  This does not mean that I am not always worried about something new… her recent song for the Alice in Wonderland movie sucked, but this new song I actually like a lot.  It is ridiculously poppy and upbeat, and hello it’s message is about saying fuck it lets just have fun.

Although this song is not original in any way (much like Britney’s new song) it is actually fun to listen to which can’t be said for Britney’s new tune.  This song will inspire me at work tomorrow to say… fuck it lets have fun instead! I’m sure my boss will appreciate it. 

LOVE IT!

What do you all think of these new songs?  Agree with me? Disagree with me?
