8)        The White Stripes – I like the white stripes, this one is quite repetitive. Listened to an album that hubby had in the car, which had a lot better songs.

9)        Madonna – Jump



Madonna has been one of the most prominent cultural icons for over three decades, so I think everyone knows her pretty well! She has been recording music since her debut self-titled album in 1983. Each album following that has reached the top 10 in many countries worldwide. She has also embarked on a total of nine world tours since the release of her debut album, the last of which being in 2012. There’s so much more that could be said about her, but I think we’ll leave it at that.

9)        Madonna – I liked Madonna, in the 80s. shes okay, she keeps reinventing herself which isn’t a bad thing. Just hope she stops the plastic surgery! Ive not heard this one, shes done better.

10)        Matchbox Twenty – How Far We’ve Come



Matchbox Twenty is an American rock band formed in 1995. Despite being American, their debut album “Yourself of Someone Like You” in 1996 reached #1 in Australia whilst only reaching #5 in the US. They did however receive the People’s Choice Favourite Musical Group award in 2004, which for those of you who don’t know is an American awards show. Their first #1 album in the US didn’t come until their 2012 release “North”.

10)        Matchbox Twenty – for an obvious contest there are a few ive not heard tonight! This was quite entertaining, very toe tapping!

11)        Emeli Sandé – Clown



Adele Emeli Gouraguine, better known with her stage name Emeli Sandé first shot to fame when she featured on a track by British rapper Chipmunk called “Diamond Rings” which reached #6 in the UK in 2009. It was however only when she won the Brit Awards’ Critic’s Choice award in 2012 that she became well-known as a solo artist. “Clown” is one of many singles from this album that have featured in the top #40 in the UK through 2011 and 2012 up until the release of her debut “Our Version of Events”, which debuted at #1 in the UK and it also won her the Brit Award for Best Album.

11)        Emeli Sandé – so nasally! She was awful at the Olympics, me and hubby argue all the time over her singing, he thinks she inspiring!!

12)        Inna – Hot

.be

Elena Alexandra Apostoleanu, better known as Inna, is a Romanian singer-songwriter. Her debut album “Hot” in 2009 was successful worldwide, particularly in Europe.

She also plans to release her fourth studio album “LatINNA” sometime in 2014.

12)        Inna – this was okay, I was drifting off a bit, slightly repetitive!

Good luck everyone

1)        The 1975 – he has the most odd phrasing!! But I do like this song, it was on the radio a lot last year and it really grew on me!!
2)        Alesha Dixon – hubby really like her, shes not my fav, but this song is very catchy, and very true!!
3)        Paolo Nutini – I love his new single!! This is very relaxed but has a nice pace at the same time, he has a lovely tone to his voice.
4)        Martin Garrix – not a fan of this repetitive thump thump stuff, they all use the same bits of music and just move them around, it becomes mind numbing after a while! I would imagine a whole album would send me into a coma!
5)        Hinder – that first bit before he started singing reminded me of a rod stewart track. Its very country meets nickleback!
6)        Howie Day – its okay, a bit slow, a bit sluggish! A bit mixed up!
7)        Faul & Wad Ad – when the kids in assembly sing, it brings a tear to my eye! This brought a tear to my eye, but for different reasons!!
8)        The White Stripes – I like the white stripes, this one is quite repetitive. Listened to an album that hubby had in the car, which had a lot better songs.
9)        Madonna – I liked Madonna, in the 80s. shes okay, she keeps reinventing herself which isn’t a bad thing. Just hope she stops the plastic surgery! Ive not heard this one, shes done better.
10)        Matchbox Twenty – for an obvious contest there are a few ive not heard tonight! This was quite entertaining, very toe tapping!
11)        Emeli Sandé – so nasally! She was awful at the Olympics, me and hubby argue all the time over her singing, he thinks she inspiring!!
12)        Inna – this was okay, I was drifting off a bit, slightly repetitive!
13)        Phillip Phillips – a bit countrified, it was pleasant enough!

Thanks for commenting along, bibbles!

1)        The 1975 – I’ve never really liked this song. It’s grown on me though. Decetns ong but ya I never really liked it too much.
2)        Alesha Dixon – Undeniably Catchy. Really liked it tbh and I actually have never heard this before. Still finding new music when its supposed to be known lmao.
3)        Paolo Nutini – Honestly not for me. Kind of left me bored.
4)        Martin Garrix – I’m surprised no ones done this yet! Love this song yes woodblock yes
5)        Hinder – not my type of music. The music was pretty good though.
6)        Howie Day – Omg I remembered this song immediately when I started listening, but back when it came out I never got the name of it I really like this song.
7)        Faul & Wad Ad – Catchy, but I felt like it was missing something the whole time.
8)        The White Stripes – Started out kind of weird and I didn’t know if I liked it, but by the end I liked it.

12)        Inna – I have heard inna before and I really like her style. This did not disappoint.
13)        Phillip Phillips – okay im sorry but I hate this song for personal reasons. When I did my 13-14 hour Christian retreat this was my class’s “song” so I had to learn it and sing it over and over again and it made my mind mentally hate it and I cant.
