sooo sorry i wasnt here, it was a bit early for me. i will listen later

1. Kristen Bell - Sticking with the Frozen theme I see? Well, it's certainly not the best in the film, but the cheesy song god in me is saying this is brill, so make of that what you will, but it's certainly not as good as Frozen.

2. James Morrison - STILL KNOW ALL THE LYRICS, feeling way too proud of myself. I've always loved this song, it's just a really god song that's so often forgot. Very nice, and thank you for reminding me of it!

3. Miley Cyrus - Perfection, and for the people who don't like the video just go away, I don't want to talk to you.

4. Katy Perry - I prefer walking on air to be honest, this was basically the only song on the album that I didn't really like, but you know, it's still listenable!

5. Beyonce - That was great. I don't really listen to Beyonce that much, I just feel like I'll be overwhelmed to be honest. This was great, a lovely beat to tap my foot too and a lovely song to just enjoy listening to.

6. Jason Aldean - It was.... alright. I mean I like country, bt this was just taking it way too far in trying to be different. Country rap just doesn't work. *cue song number 9*

7. The Vamps - I really like it BUT I FEEL LIKE SUCH A CONFORMIST like ugh. It's so annoying how much I like it.

8. Nelly and Tim McGraw - I seriously thought this wasn't a genuine song..... and it kind of is and now I feel really stupid. It's kind of, weird I mean it kind of works, which is just confusing in itself. God almighty, how do I judge this?

i only  liked 1 of them!!


1. Kristen Bell – not as good as the last one.
2. James Morrison – quite a nice little track, started off a bit whispery but picked up
3. Miley Cyrus – don’t want to upset lime, so I wont mention the video (didn’t watch it this time but I have seen it) but the song is soooo drippy!!!

5. Beyonce – don’t like beyonce and this hasn’t changed my mind!!
6. Jason Aldean – it was okay till he started the rapping type bits!!
7. The Vamps -  a little boy band, never heard of them!! Was okay.
8. Nelly and Tim McGraw – too cool for me!!
