on air: 2007 year in music, pt. II

LET'S DANCE
Vanessa Hudgens

A definitive dance floor tune. No credit should be given to Hudgens though. Her vocals on the song are as dispensable as always.




NOTHING THAT YOU ARE
Mandy Moore

Moore channels her inner Kelly Clarkson and Avril Lavigne as she delivers this anthem to cheating boyfriends albeit in a more graceful and girl-y manner. She is, after all, Mandy.



ANYTHING
JoJo

"Africa" on Anything is just simply amazing.





POTENTIAL BREAKUP SONG
Aly & AJ

I would have dismissed this faux alternative pop by these Disney girls as a lame attempt to make a dent in the industry charts but the catchy melody and the clever lyrics makes it worth considering as a half-decent tune.


IF THAT'S OK WITH YOU / NO U HANG UP
Shayne Ward

Ward awkwardly delivers this fine piece of bubblegum pop as his first single off his sophomore effort. Warning though, it contains more cheesy lines than any song I have heard in the recent music history.



CAROLYNA
Melanie C

The feel-good track of the year. Love to Melanie C!





NOTHIN' BETTER TO DO (REMIX)
LeAnn Rimes

Country, no matter how campy, sounds really good when properly delivered. And Rimes' latest effort is the best I have heard so far. And the video is just whoa!



GIRLFRIEND
Avril Lavigne

This is so last year but Lavigne did make a nearly-perfect pop tune, that is if she didn't really plagiarize this.




SAY OK (RADIO EDIT)
Vanessa Hudgens

Sweet, sappy song. And Zac Efron's on the video too!





BEAUTIFUL GIRLS
JoJo

This is way classier and radio-friendly than that huge guy's version.





TO BE CONTINUED.
