HOTTER THAN HOT... KARDINAL OFFISHALL'S NUMBA 1 (Tide is High)

Woohoo... at present no other tune has as compelling come-hither-and-dance command as Kardinal Offishall's song Numba 1 (Tide is High), featuring Keri Hilson.The video is nice -- albeit a bit similar to Flo Rida's Right Round in terms of the wall-of-light effect/look.

But, that is neglible compared to the exhilarating effect the song's beat and the frenetic dancers have on those watching the video. Kardinal belts out the song nicely too!

BEYONCE'S "IF I WERE A BOY" JUST KEEPS GROWING AND GROWING ON ME!

I must say that I am no great fan of Beyonce -- her women's lib songs are a big turn off. Usually. But I must say that her song "If I were a Boy" -- in terms of the lyrics, melody and the brilliant music video -- is a masterpiece. This is one of those stunning songs that really grow on listeners! I foresee many awards for this song.

Katy Perry's song "Thinking of You" is also superb (lyrics and music are ok -- but the video is, although stylish, very iffy because the visual narrative is a teensy-weensy screwed up.
