BEST OF 2011: guilty pleasures #1-10

1. Britney Spears – Til The World Ends
[here's the deal, even though this is a britney track that she probably read into a machine, the end result is still a solid club track that proved skanky kesha is secretly a talented songwriter that can crank out hooks with the best of them. best guilty pleasure of the year and i'm proud to admit to that!]

2. Pixie Lott – All About Tonight
[i literally sang "i bought a new pair of shoooooooes........" in my best ethel merman voice for a good month when i found myself loving this dance pop ditty that only a middle aged auntie would love. F... am i now a middle aged auntie?]

3. The Saturdays – All Fired Up
[no matter how much i mocked this stupid club song (it's literally made up of ONLY 'club slangs'), i still found myself bopping along to it at all times of the day. it beat me down people... and i'm all fired up for it!]

4. Katy Perry – The One That Got Away
[to be perfectly honest, this song is wonderful enough to make it onto the main 'best of...' list. it's just that i couldn't find placement anywhere on my large chart (you'll see). hence this sentimental gem got shafted to the sidebar, kind of apropos with it's title really...] 

5. One Direction – Gotta Be You / What Makes You Beautiful
[the runner up best boyband of the year (though i'm sure loads of tween gals will disagree) bring on the goods with two very easy on the ears tracks that i definitely would listen ONLY in the confines of my ipod or singing in the shower. "cause it's gotta be yooooooouuuuuuuuu!" oh wait, you can hear that? crap...]

6. Ke$ha - Blow
[skank queen kesha brings on a surprisingly genius solid club track that definitely doesn't blow. i still feel like i picked up a venereal disease after listening to it, but at least i had fun doing it!]

7. JLS - Take A Chance On Me / She Makes Me Wanna (feat Dev)
[the JLS boys join in on the eurotrash pop with their 'she makes me wanna' gem (heck even 2011 guilty pleasure mainstay dev makes an appearance) then switch it up with the mid tempo cheesey brilliance of 'take a chance on me'! solid pop output makes for a great year for these boys!]

8. Alexis Jordan – Good Girl
[how alexis goes from coy to a full on dramatic plead is pretty impressive for anyone looking for a girlfriend from hell. all ingredients for the perfect guilty pleasure if you ask me!]

9. Dev – Dancing In The Dark
[the genius with this track is how it starts off guido thumpalicious and turns into a miami club track instead. the fact that i love it so much tells me that i am trashy on multiple levels! sweet!]

10. 2ne1 – I Am The Best
[with a crazy ass video and a hook ridden sassy track to boot, 2ne1 is probably one of the few kpop acts that will do the crossover into english language radio. PLUS, these gals look like they would cut you if you pissed them off in an alley (which makes me kind of love them even more)!]

WONGIE SONG OF THE WEEK: dev - in the dark

dev - in the dark
[the song speaks for itself, a perfect slice of cheesy euro pop mixed in with sassiness and spice! i loved it a few months back as a leaked audio and it still holds as one of the best tracks of the summer!]

WONGIE GUILTY PLEASURE OF THE WEEK: dev - fireball

dev - fireball
[it's just that nasty groove that hooks me everytime. i'm such a hoochie deep down! fans of dev, prepare for the video for her upcoming single very very soon!]

WONGIE POP SONG OF THE WEEK: dev feat the cataracs - in the dark

dev feat the cataracs - in the dark
[let the party begin! the cataracs once again produce a fun party starter with their muse dev. their last single bass down low surprisingly didn't catch on, so fingers crossed with this one. i kind of love it!]

WONGIE GUILTY PLEASURE OF THE WEEK: dev feat the cataracs - bass down low / booty bounce

dev feat the cataracs - bass down low
[as the female MC on the #1 smash 'like a G6' for far east movement, it was only a matter of time that the focus would turn on the person who taught us about getting 'slizzered'. working with the beat meastros cataracs for her latest single, dev also showcases a cool ass video presence and actual VOCALS! trust me, this is going to be a big hit yo!]


dev feat the cataracs - booty bounce
[the original song in which the far east movement picked up the hook and introduced dev and the cataracs to a worldwide audience. sweet!]

WONGIE GUILTY PLEASURE OF THE WEEK: far east movement feat cataracs & dev - like a g6

far east movement feat cataracs & dev - like a g6
[trust me, there's nothing more 'eh' to me than stupid swagger songs about partying hard. throw in the fact that the far east movement are of asian heritage AND they like to sing songs about partying hard with a side of swagger; so in theory i should really be hatin these boys! but guilty pleasure be damned cause i totally dig this silly song (maybe it's the 808 bump that gets my stupid dancefloor juices flowing)! party like a g6 yo, then go and listen to an indie alt band to clean out your shame ;)]
