While you wait...

I'm afraid it'll take a little while longer before my post(s) on the musical year of 2009 is/are done and ready to be uploaded, so in the meantime I'll point you in the direction of this, my favourite pop song of 2010 so far. It's a grower definitely - when I first heard it I didn't like it at all - I thought it was too commercial and unoriginal and the video didn't really do anything you felt like you hadn't seen before. But I couldn't really forget it either - I returned to it a couple of times and kept thinking 'do I like this? Is it really, really bad? or is it good?' - then new year's eve arrived and as I decorated my room before the party I couldn't help but choose this song as the soundtrack. It doesn't revolutionize pop music in any way but it highlights everything that's good about something being catchy, upboat and impossible to get out of your head. I haven't listened to it that many times and I could probably sing along to it without forgetting the lyrics a single time. In music class today we learned about the elements and classic structures of a pop/rock song and this song is a perfect example of what pop music is so good at. I wish they would play this on the radio instead of 'Party In The USA' by Miley Cyrus.
