Song Of The Year

Poker Face- Lady Gaga
Pretty Wings-Maxwell
Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)- Beyoncé
Use Somebody- Kings Of Leon
You Belong With Me- Taylor Swift

on sunday, the 52nd grammy awards air on CBS. the hottest competition is definitely for song of the year. some of the most listened to artists of 2009 are nominated. but the competition is so stiff, that it's hard for me to determine who'll win. 2009 definitely resulted in breakout artists and a rebirth of music. lady gaga came out of the dance scene and turned into an evolutionary dance beast. beyonce stopped being so "crazy in love" and decided it was time to release her inner beast sasha fierce. and kings of leon stopped being an indie artists and became arena-filling rock stars. and let's not begin with taylor swift. i don't like country music, and i don't have time to even comment on her.

it's hard for me to pick my favorite. know that my choice is based on my music preference. i don't like country music, therefore i don't listen to taylore swift. as far as i'm concerned, she's no competition for lady gaga, beyonce, or kings of leon. and maxwell just came back last year and pretty wings wasn't that much of a major track. sure it came on the hip-hop and R&B radio stations, but that was it. beyonce, lady gaga, and kings of leon were all over TV: MTV, MTV2, VH1, Fuse. . . you name it, they were there.

now let's discuss kings of leon. i've loved these guys for years. before only by the night became a hit CD. they've been major on the indie scene for a while now. but now they're finally getting the recognition they deserve. i'm just worried that not ENOUGH people know about them. lady gaga and beyonce are ridiculously well-known and been in the limelight for a greater part of 2009. for me, kings of leon are major artists who are being overshadowed by beyonce and lady gaga. sure there's a possibility they might win and if they do, i'll defintely gasp and clap for them.

vs.

isn't this expected? sure it's an epic battle but did the grammy nominating people/committee/who-ever-it's-called really think they were doing something interesting and spectacular by nominating the two hottest women in the game? everybody know that 2009 was their year. beyonce turned it out with single ladies, halo, ego, diva, sweet dreams. . . do i really need to keep going? lady gaga gave us just dance, poker face, love game, paparazzi, and bad romance. sure lady gaga's reportoire is shorter but let's glance at the impact she's had.

SHE FUCKING MET QUEEN ELIZABETH! that's major.

truthfully, i love both songs. i tried to hate on lady gaga but that didn't last long. but single ladies puts beyonce over the top. beyonce/sasha fierce released a simple dance video in black and white. it turned into a phenomeon on youtube with our 3 millions views. if you think about it, the video for single ladies could've been overdone in so many ways. that's the difference between poker face and single ladies: simple good music. poker face is more complex and a little overtly autotuned. beyonce took it back to basics which is the reason why she'll win.
