Ethan's Playlist for July [Pt. 1?]

Yeah, I gotta apologize because I haven't posted in a while for anything! So I will now and it will be a longer list, maybe?

Well, I gotta quick story. My cousin listens to Canto pop, so I am her source of American music, so I play music for her to listen to, haha I have converted her to a COUNTRY lover and she likes One Direction... bleh... sorry y'all. She also likes Owl City, but she loves Jana Kramer a lot, and Linkin Park! hahahaha!

BTW, these songs are not in the right order as usual, sorry, the first 2 are right, but after that, they are random, yeah..

1. [Spectrum (Say My Name) {Calvin Harris Remix}] - Florence + The Machine
So I was on Facebook and Flo was talking about Spectrum hitting number one! And I was like what?!? I didn't even know a song was released! So I went to the iTunes store and it wasn't there, and I looked closer and it said it hit number 1 in the UK. So I got the track anyway and I LOVE IT! I think I just love Florence + The Machine too much... Got a pretty awesome beat. CALVIN HARRIS! (No I didn't bandwagon along,  I first listened to Feel So Close a year ago)

2. [What I Love About Your Love] - Jana Kramer
<COUGH> LISA SHAO! Well, I gotta a confession to make. Honestly, I never knew why I hated on Jana so hard as I did. I apologize. I do really like her now and my favorite song is this one! I kinda got hooked on it when Lisa set it as her ringtone... yeah, I guess I secretly liked her music longer than most people thought... teehee...

3. [One Thing] - Megan Nicole & Jason Chen
Gosh, I guess this looks kinda bad for me right now, so I will say it! I AM NOT A DIRECTIONER! Whew I got it out. I will admit they have good voices, but I can't say I love them, I might if they weren't manufactured, they are a product of Simon Cowell, they probably don't like each and every person in the band. Well, back to the song! 2 of my favorite artists in one! I kinda just recently found out about Jason Chen! He is pretty awesome, one downside to him is he autotunes waaay too much, but still a great voice. I used to think that Megan Nicole autotuned a lot, but I listened to a live performance and she sounded the same... YAY!

4. [Guardian] - Alanis Morissette
AAH! ALANIS! NEW SINGLE! ROCK ON! Yeah, I really like Alanis and this song is good!

5. [Good Time] - Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen
I never liked Call Me Maybe, I just sang along and made a parody, but I do like Carly Rae Jepsen's voice, I would rather her not be backed by Bieber, but that doesn't change her voice. I like Owl City and this is a decent song, a bit too catchy for my taste but yeah.

6. [CASTLE OF GLASS] - Linkin Park
Best song of the record, LIVING THINGS by Linkin Park! :D A good calm/folky song rather than the usual screaming, not that the screaming isn't good, just that this is a good change!

7. [Baby, I Love You] - Tiffany Alvord
I kinda always hated on Tiffany Alvord as well, I didn't think her voice was special, and I kinda don't think it is still, but her songwriting is decent and it is a nice song.

8. [Wide Awake] - Sam Tsui
I don't really like Katy Perry or her songs at all, but I love the way Sam does them. I don't know why.

9. [Met Him In a Motel Room] - Gwen Sebastian
I first heard of Gwen from The Voice, and this song is one of my favorite Country songs of all time! The title seems kinda deceiving, yes, the song is about meeting someone in a motel room, but not just a someone... SHE MET JESUS :D! (Not an autobiographical song)

10. [Over] - Blake Shelton
This song is BS! Yes it is! BLAKE SHELTON AT HIS BEST! This is my favorite song of his latest record, Red River Blue, which isn't new... but it is really good. 

11. [Masterpiece] - Meg & Dia
Didn't think you were going to see a song from Meg & Dia would you? Well, Meg recently blogged about this song and she said it was the first song she ever wrote, so I gave it a second chance, and it is so good! I think it is my favorite off their 2nd record, Something Real!

I don't know when I will blog again on my playlist, so I made an extra long playlist! A big music post coming out soon! I hope to do at least one more playlist this month, but if I can't I am sorry.

Ethan's Playlist 6/26/12 [Linkin Park]


I have been thinking that Monday isn't the best time to post, because Tuesday is ALBUM RELEASE DATE! So I think I am going to move it to Tuesday, and yeah, I apologize for not posting yesterday... So, speaking of new albums, Linkin Park, Maroon 5, and Pentatonix have all released albums today! Their titles are LIVING THINGS, Overexposed, and PTX, Vol. 1, respectively. My internet is a little less cooperative right now, so for this week, no youtube links will be included, sorry for any inconvenience. This week hasn't been really full of new music, so I will do an artist spotlight... umm... Linkin Park!

Well, I have been only a recent fan of Linkin Park, umm, I wish I was a fan since Meteora or Hybrid Theory, but  I didn't listen to music back then... back then, I would listen to little children's songs, not full on Linkin Park... 

Linkin Park's "Main Guy" actually isn't the lead vocalist, it is Mike Shinoda, the rapper and principal songwriter, not Chester Bennington. Mike Shinoda was one of the founders of the original band, Linkin Park. 

The first 2 albums, Hybrid Theory and Meteora were huge hits! Linkin Park has since released more albums, including Minutes to Midnight, A Thousand Suns, and LIVING THINGS.

One of their bigger flops was A Thousand Suns, released September 2010, it had a very small aprooval rating, averaging 3 out of 5 stars on iTunes. Their newest album, LIVING THINGS, was just released today! And so far, I think it is redemption!

It has 12 tracks and I have been listening to it on repeat and have found no problems with anything! I hope you enjoy the album cover and the list of the tracks, all CAPITALIZED!

LIVING THINGS

1. LOST IN THE ECHO
2. IN MY REMAINS
3. BURN IT DOWN
4. LIES GREED MISERY
5. I’LL BE GONE
6. CASTLE OF GLASS
7. VICTIMIZED
8. ROADS UNTRAVELED
9. SKIN TO BONE
10. UNTIL IT BREAKS
11. TINFOIL
12. POWERLESS

Haha, that was kinda short, Oh well, hope you enjoy! I hope you follow my blog!

Ethan's Playlist 6/18/12

This week’s playlist is a bit different, ranging from electronic, to dubstep/violin (How can these 2 go together?), to extreme alternative rock, to singer/songwriter, to hip hop/ rap. It is a very diverse playlist. (I seem to be keeping up reputation)

1. [Titanium (feat. Sia)] – David Guetta
Wow, this song is pretty amazing! I remember first hearing Sia from Wild Ones, I really liked her voice, but I didn’t like the song, so I quickly glanced over the song without approval. Then, hearing her voice (and not to forget power) in this song and seeing how well it actually matched this time, it clicked and worked for me! Her voice is truly remarkable and the electronic beats always fit well for me. (Did I mention this song is catchy?)

2. [Crystallize] – Lindsey Stirling
I remember first seeing Lindsey Stirling in the first blog post I read, and that was my friends! (Shout out to A**** M*!) It was the Lord of the Rings’ Medley, I like the movies, but not an avid follower of them, so yet again I glanced over talent, and I didn’t listen to it. I can say that I found her again in We Found Love, but I didn’t really understand it, so I glanced over it again! (What a big mistake yet again, yet again!) Then I listened to her cover of Starships that she did with Megan Nicole and then I looked at her channel and started to listen to her songs, and they were so good! This was her biggest hit and my favorite by far! I love dubstep and what she did with her violin accompanied the beats so well! For some reason, I just love Lindsey’s! Lindsey Pavao and now Lindsey Sterling!

3. [Every Single Night] – Fiona Apple
 I remembered in Lindsey Pavao’s blind audition, Blake said she sounded like Fiona Apple and then Lindsey cited her as a big influence. So, when I saw that she was getting a new album, I got the first single as well as her big hits. I love her voice, and now I see that Blake knew exactly what he was talking about, because she sounds a lot like Lindsey, just a little more extreme. She is a bit weird, 2 of her albums are titled long titles. One with over 190 words and one with over 20! She is a bit out there, but she is good. This is her lead single from the album!

4. [Wide Awake] – Tiffany Alvord
I love listening to covers! I wasn’t a big cover person back then, but then I was recommended Sam Tsui and Tyler Ward! Then, further pursuing led to Megan Nicolle, Tiffany Alvord, Boyce Avenue, Luke Conard, Alex Goot, Alex G, and more! I like this version of Wide Awake a lot. It is a different take, but it is good.

5. [The Fighter] – Gym Class Heroes 
I really like this song, and the lyrics are really meaningful as well as clean! I don’t remember where I heard this song, but I really like it and I hope it is covered! Ryan Tedder is so good!

Ethan's Playlist 6/11/12 [All Around]

Well, as usual my playlist is pretty diverse, one of my "claim to fames" is listening to all kinds of music, most people claim the same thing, but they usually have 1 "exception" that exception being... dun dun dun.. COUNTRY! Well, I used to be a hater of country until my friends officially introduced it to me, at first I still was hatin' on it, but I gradually started to like it. Another problem I had was with metal, but then apparently not all metal is screamo, and the music I thought was rock was metal, and I had been listening to it all along.

The one genre I sometimes have problems with is Hip Hop/ Rap. Yea, I listen to rap, yeah, I even have "rap" on this playlist. I mean I used to listen to rap, like a decent amount, that along with pop. Thankfully, I got caught, by myself, that these songs had quite a bit of swear words and usually had a very negative meaning. So my most listened to, turned to my least listened to. I mean, clean rap is totally fine with me, and meaning clean doesn't mean "bleeped" out words, it means clean words from the get go and decent meanings. Does this mean that I don't listen to bad rap? Most of the time I don't but some songs manage to sneak in, and if that is the case, I get the clean version.

Pop is around the same, I mean, most of the time there are no cuss words, but the meanings are sometimes awful. Have you ever sat listening to lyrics? And then realized that they suck? Yeah, it's the same thing. "Oh, I listen to the song, it is so catchy! But I would never actually do that kinda stuff!" Well, sometimes, it is just as bad to be complacent to listening to that type of music. I do admit that I am not guilt-free, but hey it's sometimes the effort that counts, as long it is substantial effort.

Well, off-topic, now back to blogging. This week's playlist is pretty diverse, it includes: alternative, christian, dubstep remix, rap, pop, and country.

1. [Breath of Life] - Florence + The Machine
I feel like this band gets disregarded a lot, but this band is pretty legit. I mean this song is a great example as well as "Dog Days Are Over" and "No Light, No Light" which was featured as TIME Magazine's top song of 2011, which is kinda odd, because it really wasn't... Adele was definitely top, but the song is good nonetheless. This is on the soundtrack of "Snow White and the Huntsman" and it totally fits, even though I didn't watch the movie yet...


2. [I Will Go] - Starfield
Well, we recently had a pretty good conference @ White Oak and this was one of my favorite songs from the conference, My definite fave was "You Are Good", but the studio version is like a choir and that is good live only for me. I was really surprised by the original, it was a lot cooler than I thought it would be, I thought it would be relatively the same, but it had all the cool guitar moves and sounds added to it. The lyrics are amazing, my definite favorite is "Take everything I am, I'm clay within your hands." This should definitely be our prayer to God.

3. [Lights (Bassnectar Remix)] - Ellie Goulding
The first time I heard the song was like last year. I was kinda shocked at how it sounded, I didn't really listen to dubstep back then and couldn't really understand it and then later when I realized how awesome dubstep was, I was quite happy with the genre, totally forgetting the song. So this was one of my first dubstep songs, and I actually really like it now. It is my favorite! I am a fan of unique voices and dubstep, so this was a good  match. Either this was the first dubstep song, or a Skrillex mashup  was. My friends were listening to "Scary Like A G6" a mashup of "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" and "Like A G6".

4. [Coming Up Strong] - Karmin
Did you know that no one in the duo of Karmin is named Karmin? Actually the duo was named Karmin after the play Carmen and they believe in karma so they made it Karmin. I love pretty much all their songs, but the reason this one stood out was because it was different. They usually rap a lot but this wasn't as much. It was a soft song with an amazing intro by NICK! I really never heard him sing other than in harmony and he is really good, and of course the switch back into rap is always amazing as well, so good job Amy. This is one of my favorites from them, joining the favorites are Hello & Walking On the Moon.


5. [Honey Bee] - Blake Shelton
I really wanted to blog about a song that I didn't blog about last week, since it was all country last week. This right now isn't on my playlist but the other country songs that were featured last week are on it. Well, back to Shelton, I heard this song for the first time, on The Voice! It was last season and he sang it with Dia Frampton & Xenia! My favorites from last season! I kinda didn't know how to react to the song, because I wasn't a country fan then. So, I kinda was like, my 3 favorites are on stage awesome, and I didn't pay attention to the song, but later I really was amazed by the song and it was my favorite for a while, and I still listen to it occasionally, like today.

Well, I think that was the longest I ever blogged on a playlist, so you guys better come read it! Follow Me Please! I want some followers! I have 3, and one is me... Hahaha! If you get this far into the blog, I'll tell you the best bet to make with a friend. Have the bet money on the table from your friend and 2 glasses of liquid, put the glasses on your friend's fingers and say the first part is about balance, and then take the money and run! :)

Ethan's Playlist [Country]

Well, I kinda got tired of the EK title and the set amount of songs, so I am officially changing it to Ethan's playlist, yea, I need to change that. But for now, Ethan's playlist is good enough for me. For my playlist, I will either feature an artist, an album, a genre, or my mix. This week's spotlight is country! Well, I have been listening to a lot of country at this time, so I would imagine this would work well.

[Drunk On You] - Luke Bryan
Well, what can I say? Luke Bryan is one of my favorites! His songs are amazing and his voice is great, and I think this is his best song that I'm not tired of right now! The chorus is definitely the best, "Girl, you make my speakers go boom boom" oops, sorry. Well, Drunk On You is amazing! Listen!

[Bait A Hook] - Justin Moore
A reason that I love country so much, is that there are so many jokes in the lyrics, even though this song hates on sushi, and priuses, and people who never drove a truck, it is freakin' hilarious. This is definitely a great song!

[Postcards from Paris] - The Band Perry
I usually don't listen to girl country artists unless they are unique, and I like Kimberly Perry's voice and I remember when I first heard, If I Die Young, and was entranced by her voice and the good lyrics, I love this song and hope it will gain more recognition.

[Springsteen] - Eric Church
I mean, I am fairly new to this song, I can say it is a catchy song, but I really don't like his voice, it is a bit too high, but I like the song a lot. I especially love the chorus. Pretty much, the chorus is all that is going for the song for me, because his voice is irritable.

[Chicken Fried] - Zac Brown Band
Ok, any country song that mentions fried chicken sells me anytime. This is one of my favorite country songs to sing. The lyrics make me laugh, and it is just a great song to sing.

[A Woman Like You] - Lee Brice
This song makes me so happy, there aren't that many nice country songs out there, and this is one of them. I love songs about fried chicken... tee hee...har har

ENJOY AND SUBSCRIBE!

EK5 with DJ Kwokodile 5/22/12

OK, now that The Voice is over, that must mean no songs from the show right??? I beg to differ, this probably will be the last playlist filled with The Voice songs. Also included in this playlist are selections of rap, rock, and r&b.

1. [Somewhere Only We Know] - Pip
I watched the performance live, and I have no idea why I didn't like it, maybe he was pitchy, well he was very pitchy at the end... Well I came across this song and started listening to it and instantly fell in love with! This is has been my renewal for my hope in Pip. He has a kickstarter account and he needs a lot of money! Help support him here! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/713719482/help-pip-make-his-debut-album!

2. [Walking On the Moon] - Karmin
I have loved Karmin since their youtube days and was excited to see that they got a legit album out with legit singles that are charting! So this song is not charting, but it is still really good. I think this is one of their best songs.

3. [Whistle/Wild Ones (feat. Juliet Simms)] - Flo Rida
I never thought I would listen to this song, but since Juliet is singing in it, I feel like I have an excuse to listen to it, it is really good, I feel like Flo Rida is the clearest and the least auto-tuned, since he doesn't sound airy or breathy when he raps which shows that he is good, unlike others <cough> Kid Cudi <cough>

4. [Yesterday] - Adam Levine & Tony Lucca
This was one of my most favorite duets of the night, this one and Christina's and Chris's were pretty tight, but because I know the words and it is catchy. I don't know Latin, so, that's why I enjoy this one more. I just love Adam Levine's voice, I wouldn't have minded if Tony wasn't included in the record.

5. [I Want You Back (feat. Jamar Rogers, James Massone, & Pip)] - Jermaine Paul
This was the best final performance, all guys sang so great, it especially showed that Pip was not diminishing in his quality of voice, he is still sounding great and all the guys just sounded really great together!

Hope you enjoyed the playlist!

EK5 with DJ Kwokodile 5/8/12

Well, I totally forgot to blog about my playlist last week. So, I am very sorry about that, and thank you so much for the continual support, from those who actually to those who just want album covers. I am thankful for all of them. Well special shout out to the person who inspired me to start a blog, I am not sure if they would want me to mention their name, so thank you so much! And thank you for having soo much confidence in me for keeping up my blog. So this is my playlist, this is a mix of rock and older stuff, not really that old, but not 2012 or 2011. It basically is rock because the oldies are rock... but yea, enjoy my rock playlist for this week.

1. [The End Is Where We Begin] - Thousand Foot Krutch
Well, I saw that their new album was out and I was so happy! I first heard of them from the WOW CDs. I really liked them from the get go but kinda forgot about them since they had like 4 years of silence. They did a great job with the new album, The End Is Where We Begin, and I don't think I dislike any of the tracks. I love Christian rock bands a lot!

2. [Second Chance] - Shinedown
I remember listening to this song in like 7th grade, but I never really listened to much music back then and I just remembered I heard this at marching band practice and remember I was ugh, how do I put this, ok, I was practicing interpretive movement. I just really like this song and Shinedown is one of my all time favorites. 

3. [Iris] - The Goo Goo Dolls
I remember hearing an amazing cover of this song. I then decided to listen to the original and I was even more pleased. The somber sounds and great lyrics/vocals make me very happy. 

4. [Heart Song] - Automatic Loveletter
Well this song is by Mama Snakey's band!! I love Juliet and she better win The Voice tonight, and not lose to Tony Lucca, I genuinely dislike him, he really sucks. Mostly because all he has is stage presence. This song is their biggest hit, I guess, not really a hit at all, didn't chart and most people don't even know the band, but I like the band and the song! A Lot! I hope she wins!

5. [It's A Man's Man's, Man's World] - Juliet Simms
This was definitely on her best songs on the show, it was either this one, or Roxanne! These are definitely my favorites, I love her gritty voice and she brought a new dimension to a boring song!


I hope you enjoyed my playlist for this week, and I have 2 food blogs that I'm writing and one on the International Justice Mission so hold on to your seats for some real blog posts other than ones on The Voice, because the show is ending :( .

EK5 with DJ Kwokodile 4/23/12

Lots of posts related to The Voice, sorry for that. Well here is my playlist for this week.





1. [Somebody That I Used to Know (Tiesto Remix){feat. Kimbra}] - Gotye
I really love the original and I love electronic music, so these really coincided well, great beat with creepy, yet good lyrics. I think this might my favorite rendition of the song!

2. [A Woman Like You] - Lee Brice
I love country and I love country songs that mention the words, fried chicken. I don't know why, but I love "Chicken Fried" by Zac Brown Band and this song! So chicken with a side of country please! I love this ballad, a lovely love song to his wife, I hope. Meaningful song with clever lyrics.

3. [Chasing The Sun] - The Wanted
I love listening to their song and when it aired for the first time on The Voice I was pretty happy. I think it is really catchy and Team Blake did so well with them!


4. [Payphone (feat. Wiz Khalifa)] - Maroon 5
I can say that I was among the first in the world to listen to the worldwide premiere! I saw it on The Voice and it has been in my head ever since. I will not include the link, because I don't think I will be able to find a clean version. (I only listen to the clean version, by the way)

5. [What Makes You Beautiful] - Sam Tsui
OK, I get it. I have hated on One Direction, but I don't hate on their songs, and I just thought it was more appropriately sung by Sam Tsui! His voice is so good and he made the song something meaningful.

Monday, April 16, 2012

EK5 with DJ Kwokodile 4/16/12

Sorry for the overload of Glee (well, 2 songs, but more than usual). For the record, I do not watch Glee, I occasionally listen to the covers. I think Glee is a really bad show, but I do like the music they produce. This is shorter, because I have to work on my food post as well! I mean, Kid Fudi does.

1. [Roxanne] - Juliet Simms
I love this song so much! Not the real one, the cover by Juliet! Her gritty voice makes my day. The Police really didn't give the song justice like Juliet, sweeping the stage and winning America's vote! Wow, great job Julie!

2.[Glad You Came] - Glee Cast
I won't really comment on these songs, but since they are on my playlist, you know they are good.

3. [Amazing Life] - Britt Nicole
Really great song, I love electronic and Christian! So it was a great mix, Britt Nicole's new album is on fire!!

4. [Somebody That I Used To Know] - Glee Cast

5. [Wake Up Call] - Maroon 5
I really liked RaeLynn's cover, and I tried Maroon 5's and it was really good too.





Sorry for lack of description and youtube links, focusing on food.

EK9 with DJ Kwokodile 4/9/12

So this week was my spring break, that is probably the reason why the number of posts skyrocketed. I also went camping this spring break, and right now I am extremely envious of those who had camping, then spring break instead of having spring break, than camping. This is my playlist for this week. It is mainly The Voice based. No new music that really appealed to me except from The Wanted and Karmin.

1. [Chai Tea Latte] - Angel Taylor
This song is the most beautiful song by Angel. Angel recently was a contestant on The Voice. She was extremely talented, but was paired with an unknown powerhouse, Katrina Parker, and was eliminated in the Battle Rounds. This song first caught my attention by the name, Chai Tea. I love all types of Chinese tea, so I wanted to listen to this one first, and was so glad it was extremely good. This is a piano ballad with soft vocals, and Angel is singing about dreamy non-existent love.



2. [Lightning] - The Wanted
This British guy band doesn't seem to fail. Everyone is hyped over One Direction, and I am not. I don't understand why people like them so much! They can only sing, and they sing together. It is like Glee all over again, so I am not a fan of them but of The Wanted, they actually add electronic beats to their music to make it as enjoyable as possible. I like this song because of those reasons.

3. [Wake Up Call] - RaeLynn
I know, I know, I remember when I was furious at Blake for keeping RaeLynn in the competition, but she was actually really good! It surprised me and it was definitely a redemption performance. I did not know it was a Maroon 5 song until Carson, Blake, and Adam talked about it. RaeLynn's performance was so good, I downloaded the original version. It was interesting to see the power of Blake and RaeLynn turning a pop-rock song into a pure full-on country song. It worked, and it definitely paid of for RaeLynn, earning her a spot in the quarterfinals!

4. [Brokenhearted] - Karmin
I first heard of them when I listened to their, "Look at Me Now" cover. That girl can rap, unlike Nicki Minaj, but she can also sing really well! I was so excited to see them release an original! I was then pleasantly surprised to see their song chart on iTunes, and then was shocked to hear them on the radio! I have never heard a group from youtube, chart on iTunes and played on the radio!

5. [Misery Business] - Charlotte Sometimes
I was mixed when I first saw this song on iTunes. I looked up the song and saw it was by Paramore. I was a little mixed about this, but I quickly became excited by the performance. I honestly thought it was one of the best performances of the night! She sang a different style to her tone and I thought it was more than enough to take her to the next round. I was saddened when she didn't make the cut and was eliminated.

6. [Somebody That I Used to Know] - Lindsey Pavao
I have heard so many covers of this song and I must say that this is the best one yet! I think it is better than the original. Lindsey didn't bring enough power in her performance, but she brought it when she recorded for the studio. Her soft soothing voice brings a power of indie so powerful, it is unstoppable. I was ecstatic when her song reached #23 on iTunes! I knew this song would boost her to the quarterfinals.

7. [Paris (Ooh La La) {Live}] - Ashley De La Rosa
In her non-airing blind audition, I was so surprised to see Christina actually turn around. Now, like Adam, I am starting to understand why. Ashley is so versatile and her rock performance showed her true artistry. She was so much better than Brian Fuente when doing this song. She totally just snatched the last spot when she sang it and I am so glad she did get the spot.

8. [Alone] - Jordis Unga
I was extremely saddened how Jordis performed in the Battle Rounds, the same can not be said about her live performance. It was extremely good! Her rock side shined as well as her regular vocals! I think she represented Rock and Roll that night, topping the iTunes Rock Charts! I was a little shocked that she had to earn her spot a second time and was not automatically in. I'm bittersweet that she moved on, because I also wanted Charlotte to move on as well. In the end I am glad that Jordis moved on because Charlotte has a contract and has albums, but I have nothing from Jordis except The Voice and Rockstar.

9. [Livin' On a Prayer] - Jermaine Paul
I was and still am confused about Jermaine's genre of music. Is he R&B? Is he Pop? Is he Rock? He has clearly sung all of those genres. I liked his Bon Jovi cover the best mainly because of the instrumentals. He was good and I don't know if I wanted Jermaine to stay because Charlotte might have stayed if he didn't.


I do apologize for the random number 9, it really is quite a weird number. I hope you enjoy my non-unique playlist for this week! Only 10 more days until my birthday!
