WONGIE POP SONG OF THE WEEK: b.o.b. feat taylor swift - both of us

b.o.b. feat taylor swift - both of us
[a late entry for summer anthem 2012, but this is a solid friendly pop number that you'll probably be humming along to by the end of it's 3 mins. you have been warned!]

JESSIE J MOMENT: jessie j - price tag (feat B.o.B) / mamma knows best (live @ snl)

making her US broadcast debut, our girl jessie j rips into the screens of america and i'm totally curious how she came across to everyone. my gut feeling is that her rendition of 'price tag' might be too OTT (she oversang the song which is a shame since it's the first time ALOT of people have heard this song in the US), but she nails it later on for 'mamma knows best' (with an energy and performance that brings on goosebumps). all in all, an auspicious debut and i can't wait to see what happens next!

POP BOY: b.o.b. feat bruno mars - nothing on you

b.o.b. feat bruno mars - nothing on you
[shows you how little i listen to regular radio, seems like this track has been blowing up on radio (#10 most played song of the week) for quite some time. oh well, better late than never. it's catchy and summery and definitely needed as an energy boost during this wet and grey east coast season!]
