Rolling In The Deep

So these are the top 5 songs of 2011 according to 4Music...
Anywho, here they are with my opinions attached to the bottom.

Number 5 - Pitbull with Give Me Everything



I actually really like this song. I like it best when I'm drunk, in a club, dancing around like a loon. And it is mainly the chorus I love.
But it's so damn catchy - its become an anthem in most pubs and clubs across this fair Isle. A success in the midst of the usual RnB rammle from across the pond.


In at 4 - Jessie J with Price Tag



I used to like this song. Then it got played over and over and over again on Radio 1, then over and over and over again on local radio a few months later and then got played again over the festival period and now it sounds like a pneumatic drill in my head.... "b bling b bling, ch ching ch ching...."
And once that is over you hear her sing it live like she's from the ghetto with even more drilling noises.
Sick. Of. This. Song.

Numero 3 - LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem



I BLOODY LOVE THIS SONG!!
Still trying to perfect the dance moves. One of the best songs of the year for me!

Number 2 getting close to the top spot now..... Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera - Moves Like Jagger



This will always remind of the time when I was on the tube with two 'ghetto' chavs. The short fat ginger one who said 'bruv' waaaaay too often, was acting all cool and like top dog when the other lad (much more ghetto looking) said: "I love that Moves Like Jagger song. I've been singing it all day. Who sings that again?"
Top dog replies: "ABBA"

It took all my strength to not laugh in the short, fat, ginger chav's face.
I do not like this song. It's annoying beyond belief and offends my ears.

Drum Roll please....... Number 1 is (what else could it be....) Adele with Someone Like You



This version of the song is sublime. I remember watching this live and nearly ended up in tears whilst shivering from all the hair on my neck standing on its end.
An incredible song which is truly deserving to be the best selling song of the year. I couldn't wish the accolade on a more genuine and down to Earth star as Adele either.

Songbird

So Little Mix won the X Factor... (I was rooting for Marcus!)

I won't offend your ears by publishing their version of Cannonball. Instead I'll post the video for the original by Damien Rice; the beautiful, touching and serenely exquisite version.


At least Mr Rice is making a few dollars from the Little Mix cover as his version rockets up the iTunes chart. :)

Vince the Loveable Stoner

The BBC Sound of 2012 Long list has been released today. I love this list, it's one of my favourite music events of the year. It reminds me of being snuggled up inside, when its freezing outside, huddled round the radio listening to fabulous music.

Here are the favoured few:

A$AP Rocky
Azealia Banks
Dot Rotten
Dry The River
Flux Pavilion
Frank Ocean
Friends
Jamie N Commons
Lianne La Havas
Michael Kiwanuka
Niki & The Dove
Ren Harvieu
Skrillex
Spector
Stooshe

My bets are on... Skrillex and Lianne La Havas to be in the top five somewhere.

The top 5 list is revealed daily from the 2nd Jan on Radio 1 with the winner being announced on the 6th.
