The time has come the Walrus said. For Sneezy's Music once again.
Who Says -- Selena Gomez and the Scene
The sound of this song is, if not fantastic, a definite improvement over the "techno" sound of her last album. Those songs were okay but slightly soulless and irritating. Also, I can hear very little autotune in Who Says, and Selena still sounds pretty, which just shows that she CAN sing. She's one of the few singers whose voices I like. She can act too, but that's beside the point. Now, the lyrics of this song. First of all, "You're a diamond in the rough," is a surprisingly nice statement to make about someone who made you feel insecure, and it's kinda nice to hear such niceness in a song. "I'm no beauty queen" is a bit laughable coming from Selena, since she IS really pretty, even though she looks thirteen, and I can't talk about that anyway because I'm the same age as her and I look thirteen. But it's an understandable statement. Nobody really thinks they're that beautiful. Except some people. Some people think they are, but anyway.
Katy Perry's Firework A Capella
It's nice, right?
Calculus Rhapsody
This is really, really funny, especially 4:01. =D

Walrus Says
The time has come, the walrus said. For Sneezy's Music once again.
21st Century Girl -- Willow Smith
This is Will Smith's daughter. You may have heard her sing Whip My Hair, another surprisingly good song like 21st Century Girl. They're both catchy, have fun lyrics, and they're just good. Willow's voice is pretty amazing for a 10-year-old. By now, I'm used to hearing of young girls who can sing opera-style well, which is great, but I know of far fewer who can sing pop well. Strange, since it seems pop should be the easier style. Anyway, when I started watching the video, I thought it was going to be another one of those annoying videos that make no sense just for the sake of being weird. What's up with those? They're all over the place. I think a video should say something. I make it a practice to give videos a chance and to consider they might have a message before I dismiss them as shallowly following the Weird Trend. I'm almost always disappointed. This time, though, I think the video really is saying something, and not just something, but something relevant to the song. The girls in the video raise a whole city up from the dirt, an empowering theme that coincides with how a 21st century girl can do any great and noble deed. I like it. Also, that girl has balloons in her hair.
Riot Rhythm -- Sleigh Bells
This the same band in my second to prior post, the Infinity Guitars people. This song seems more techno than rock this time...But then again, like I said, I have no idea what exactly I'm talking about. 2:23 is pretty funny.
All My Loving -- The Beatles
Mom and I heard this on the radio a while back and thought it sounded like the Beatles. Well, it is! It's fun.
