Taio Cruz - Hangover

Taio Cruz has been really hit and miss for me. His team up with Kylie Minogue, "Higher," is one of the best dance tracks of the year; while his nonsense, tuneless, unoriginal, overplayed, "Dynamite," has got to be one of my most hated songs of all times.

"Hangover" already has one step ahead of "Dynamite" since it's not painful to lesson to. In fact it is a really good dance track. It's got a catchy chorus from Taio, eletronic breaks to connect the verses and an appearance from one of the biggest dance rappers, Flo Rida. Like "Higher" this is a song that's easy to just get carried away dancing with.

On the other hand, as almost of today's dance music has along with great catchy beats, is nonsensical lyrics. This song at least has some coherence, but really the idea behind it isn't that great. Taio sings about wanting to just keep drinking...even though he has a hangover? Yeah, weird. But lyrics seem to becoming less and less important in today's market, so I'm just happy that it's not absolute gibberish.

The song starts off strong, and does slow down in momentum. It's got a variety of different sounds that are all familar to Taio. Plus the verse from Flo Rida keeps things going. Overall I think that Taio Cruz might have his next big hit on his hands.

Now, as usual, a bit on The X Factor. I was absolutely crushed when inTENsity was booted off in favour of the Stereo Hogzz. So I moved onto Lakoda Rayne as my favorite act, and I was ready for them to get screwwed over like all my other favorite acts when they were in the final two with Stereo Hogzz. But to my amazement, the judges actually saved Lakoda Rayne instead. Paula must be feeling pretty down having to pick between two of her acts twice now. I'm hoping that Lakoda Rayne will make it, and we can get rid of Leroy Bell and Marcus Canty.
