Getting Pumped Up

10 songs that I can't seem to get tired of listening this week:

1. "Turning Page" by Sleeping at Last

A song made and written for Edward's thoughts as the book, turned to movie "Breaking Dawn (Part 1)" came out. The lyrics remind me of "Iris" of Goo Goo Dolls giving Seth's emotions life in its truest intentions in the movie "City of Angels." Every time the first 8's (piano intro) plays, it sends "goosies" straight to my scalp. The first time I heard of it was when I watched the movie but it hit me hard into downloading it when I watched a contemporary routine in "So You Think You Can Dance Season 9". Here it is...



2. "SKIN" by Rihanna

I know, I know, this came out for so long already. But, there's something irresistibly carnal about it... I can't seem to find the dance which I came across with in youtube randomly that made me attracted to the song but here's the lyrics....

Verse 1:
The mood is set
(ha ha)
So you already know what's next
(uh huh ah)
TV on blast,
Turn it down,
Turn it down.
Don't want it to clash,
With my body screaming out
(no-o-o)
I know you hearin' it,
(hu-u-uh)
You got me moanin' now.
I got a secret that I wanna show you, oh.
I got a Secrets Imma drop em to the floor, oh.

Hook:
No teasin',
You waited long enough.
Go deep,
Imma throw it at you,
Can't catch it.
Don't hold back,
You know I like it rough.
Know I'm feelin' you, huh.
Know you liking it, huh.

Chorus:
So why you standin' over there witcha clothes on,
Baby strip down for me,
Go on take em off.
Don't worry baby,
Imma meet you half way,
Cause I know you wanna see me.

Verse 2:
Almost there,
(ha ha)
So baby don't stop what you're doing.
Uh huh ah
Softer than a motha-
Boy I know you wanna touch.
Breathing down my neck,
I can tell you wanna-(no-o-ow)
And now you want it like,
(oh o-o-oh)
Want you to feel it now.
I got a secret that I wanna show you, ooh.
I got Secrets imma drop em to the floor, ooh.

Hook:
No teasin,
You waited long enough.
Go deep,Imma throw it at ya,
Can't catch it.
Don't hold back,You know I like it rough.
Know I'm feelin you, huh.

Chorus:
So why you standing over there witcha clothes on,
Baby strip down for me,
Go on take em off.
Don't worry baby,
Imma meetcha' half way,
Cause I know you wanna see me.

Chorus 2:

Bridge:

Chorus 2 (2x):

All I wanna see you in is just skin.

All I wanna see you in is just skin.
All I wanna see you in is just skin.
Oooh
All I wanna see you in
All I wanna see you in is your skin, oh.


3. "GANGNAM STYLE" by PSY

No words on how hilarious this mtv is....
In Hong Kong, I think every bar that you'd pass by in Lan Kwai Fong was playing this in different kind of mixes. Thanks to my friend Khaya for sharing this to me.



4. "GOIN' IN" by Jennifer Lopez, featuring Flo Rida

This was a hit single used in the movie, "Step Up Revolution", as part of their original soundtrack. Jennifer Lopez had just been coming up yet again. It's not new to her to be there on top but this woman's passion and beauty probably would make her stay there for awhile. I believe that season in "American Idol" had put her back on track, exposure wise. Now, he gets to know everybody and reconnect with fellow artists/celebrities/uprising stars to collaborate with in coming up with her new hits.





5. "TONIGHT (Best You Ever Had)" by John Legend ft. Ludacris

Another collaboration alright but me likee!!!! John Legend wrote the lyrics sensually. Such a sweet and luring song. It instantly wakes me up during the "not-so-easy-to-get-up-mornings". Instead of sharing the mtv, (since it's for you to see on your own quiet moment at home) let me get to you to a shoot of one of Urban Camp's dance classes. I love the how the girl in the middle had made the steps so crisp yet so flowy.





6. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE" by Rihanna

One big fashionista, that's Rihanna. I love the beat, keeps you going; I love the outfits, it just makes the whole MTV a statement; I love the theme, it will take time for me to get tired of this MTV, seriously; and the simple groove that Rihanna got, it's just so easy to look at but you've got to be a natural to get it work!





7. "STARSHIPS" by Nicki Minaj

As the song goes, starships were meant to fly, from there, I love what it suggests that we own different identities. Though, generally, we pursue the same thing, HAPPINESS. So, I'd say, along with how the MTV was made, we should all respect differences. Nobody is "EVER" alike!!!!





8."WHO YOU ARE" by Jessie J

I love Jessie J, the way she writes, the way how fierce she looks but sensitivity arises from her songs, SHE IS DOPE!!!! She sings this and it reminds me that the world deserves to know who you are. LIFE is too short to live somebody else's life.





9. "MOVES LIKE JAGGER" by Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguilera

The longest band standing for me. Well, they started since I was in college I believe and they're still wanted by so many expecting fans up until now. They recently had a concert here in Hong Kong that sold standing tickets for more or less hk900.00. The arena was filled, let me tell you that.

Let me share this to you. It's much more to watch.



10. "I WAS HERE" by Beyonce

The first time I heard this song, I've always thought that this is Beyonce's way of rewriting Frank Sinatra's "My Way". It almost talks of the same thing as they graced the limelight being able to touch a lot of people's lives with their songs. I did my warm up after learning that somebody dear to me had passed away. He helped me to be where I am now.
