She's got a lovely voice, it's a compelling tune, and the lyrics are very strong. Please! Glad I'm not that guy, if it's a guy she's singing to. I drove across the USA from LA to Boston via DC, listening to this song on practically every station. It's one of those great pop songs that you just can't get put of your head, but you don't want to. Brilliant, Rihanna. More, please!

While Miley Cyrus unlike the other wannabe artists have really set a down to Earth positive role for tweens, she sadly has yet to fulfill her distinctive voice. It has been so hard for her to escape her Hannah Montana image, but she is still trying, and that is shown with her single Fly On The Wall, the second single from her album Breakout. The song shows that she is trying to give a harder edge to her voice, and appeal to her fans. The songs has a good edge, but it isn't as strong as was the case that Miley showcased well with 7 Things. I felt a little lost with the song, but I do hope that Miley can try to bring out the better in her voice with her next single. She needs to show more strength in her style.

Honestly for Pink, she has really been one of the more quirky artists who has made some true to heart songs. When she had released Stupid Girls a few years ago, it took a hard hit on the Britpack (Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan), as well as the feeling of trying to look and be a certain way for woman, to appeal to all women. While that songs worked well, her latest single also takes that aim, but in her personal life. So What, the first single from her 5th album Funhouse, is a tonuge and cheek way of poking fun at the devistating divorce with her ex-husband, motorcyclist Corey Hart. The song isn't bad for the moment, but I was hoping it would strike a more driven cord. I still think it is a good song for Pink, but not as good as the message Stupid Girls gave. I do hope that Pink can really make peace with the end of her marriage, but I also hope the next single from Funhouse can really be more uplifting.
