Song: Human Album: Day & Age Singer: The Killers Genre: Synthpop Rating: *****
So, I saw The Killers perform this on XFactor on Saturday (14th November). I was there, and I was backstage. They were amazing. Amazing, amazing,amazing, amazing. And this is such a good song to sing along to. The chorus is so catchy and the lyrics, 'Are we human, or are we dancer?' relates to me so much. So much. "Human"- The Killers Lyrics
Below is my video from Saturday when I saw them live. The full video is 7mins long so I had to cut it considerably, but this is my favorite bit :)
The Killers Members: Brandon Flowers (lead vocals, keyboards, synthesizers, piano, bass guitar) Dave Keuning (lead guitar, piano, backing vocals) Mark Stoermer (bass guitar, backing vocals, guitar) Ronni Vannucci Jr. (drums, percussion, backing vocals) Albums: Hot Fuss (2004) Sam's Town (2006) Day & Age (2008) Battle Born (2012) Origin: Las Vegas, Nevada, United States of America, 2001
Song:Somewhere Only We Know Album: --- Singer: Lily Allen Genre: Pop Rating: ****
Of course, we've all seen this year's (2013) John Lewis Christmas commercial. It makes me cry every time even though it's all happy in the end. #bearandhare forever :)
So this is how this version of the song got famous, and also because it is Lily's comeback track after a long break.
This is the full song:
And this is the original version by Keane. It was released in 2004:
Full Name: Lily Rose Beatrice Cooper (Allen is her maiden name)
Albums: Alright, Still (2006) Its Not Me, Its You (2009) Origin: Hammersmith, London
I completely love this song. Conor is so talented, all his songs are amazing (and ya know he's not exactly ugly...) and this song is no exception. It is similar to his previous songs but different at the same time as it is much more mature, as is the video.
I am such a big fan of everything Conor does. He has had quite a few amazing singles even though he is only 21. Take a look at this, "Can't Say No" that was releaced in 2012.
Full Name: Conor Paul Maynard Albums: Contrast (2012-2013) Origin: Brighton & Hove
Song: Love Me Again Album: Tribute Singer: John Newman Genre: Pop Rating: ****
This is a really good song and it is made so much better by John's amazing and unique voice! Now I know everyone reading this has probably heard this song already so why don't you- the reader- tell me what you think about it in the comments below?
