The All-American Rejects - Dance Inside

Artist : The All-American Rejects
Song : Dance Inside
Genre : Punk
Language : English
Preview : Song Lyrics
Review : Love this song. Anything with acoustic verses with a slower tempo which flows into heavier chorus gets my attention :)

: This is a slower paced Punk, well more to a ballad I suppose with heavy guitars :)

Greenday - Poprocks And Coke

Artist : Greenday
Song : Poprocks And Coke
Genre : Punk
Language : English
Preview : Song Lyrics
Review : This song sums up dedication that any one person could offer to another in any type of relationship: friendship, love, family, etc. The song is brilliant overall because its so blunt and just gets the point across.

My Chemical Romance - You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison

Artist : My Chemical Romance
Song : You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison
Genre : Punk
Language : English
Preview : Song Lyrics
Review : My Chemical Romance don't really fall under a certain catagory. They're more the sort of band that you either love or hate. But I really can't see how anyone could possibly hate them. They sound incredible and always got me singing or yelling along. It's perfect for any rock fan, whether you like indie, punk or metal. Again, this track is not even the best track on the album.

The Used - Cut Up Angels

Artist : The Used
Song : Cut Up Angels
Genre : Punk
Language : English
Preview : Song Lyrics

: Not their best effort but worth listening. Lotz of drums than anything.

Review : Ohhh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I absolutely love this track ! Adding punk to my fav Xmas song is unthinkable !!!!!!!!!!!! I always goes ballistic while head banging 2 this track :)

Robbie Williams - Advertising Space

Artist : Robbie Williams
Song : Advertising Space
Genre : Slow Alternative
Language : English
Preview : Song Lyrics
Review : Do you know his full name is Robert Peter Williams ? Me neither :) Anyway, his latest treat comes in the form of this Balladish/ Slow Alt kinda tune called "Advertising Space" which should see "Angels" relegated to the backbenches.

Will Smith - Tell Me Why

Artist : Will Smith
Song : Tell Me Why
Genre : RnB
Language : English
Preview : Song Lyrics
Review : This song is so intense ! It gradually builds up and by the end it gave my chills. The content of the song is strong and he gets his thoughts across effectively. Talking about 9/11 and his brother dying... And Mary J Blige really gave the song an edge and emotion.

Christian Bautista - The Way You Look At Me

Artist : Christian Bautista
Song : The Way You Look At Me
Genre : Ballad
Language : English
Preview : Song Lyrics
Review
: Christian Bautista is best known for being a contestant in Philippine version of American Idol. The fact that he is eye candy made him an easy favorite. Although unfortunately he failed to bag the title, exposure on the show has given way for him to be seen as someone with enough skill and potential to be a contender in a bigger arena. 'The Way You Look At Me' is a great start to Christian Bautista - it shows off his vocal range, and the control he has over those notes. On the whole, this song will give good background relaxing music when the place seems too quiet.

Destiny's Child - Stand Up For Love

Artist : Destiny's Child
Song : Stand Up For Love
Genre : Ballad
Language : English
Preview : Song Lyrics
Review : A beautiful and touching ballad thus deservedly be chosen as 2005 World Children's Day Anthem and widely known as the song of hope for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Probably comes as no surprise as it is penned by 14-time Grammy Award winner David Foster.
