Sparro Fever! - Sam Sparro Covers American Boy

Sam Sparro performed Estelle's breakthrough hit American Boy at BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge back in April. Check it out, you won't regret it.



I adore Estelle and the original, but is it blasphemous of me to say I like Sam's cover better? Maybe it's my current infatuation with him, but I love this lounge-y version and he sounds great. I've added the mp3 to my iTunes and have been listening to it on repeat for the last hour and a half. Thoughts?

Here's what's playing on my iPod these days...

Take A Bow - Rihanna

It's no Umbrella, but it's really quite catchy. It quickly shot to #1 on the Hot 100 chart last week, so clearly someone, somewhere agrees with me. I doubt it'll inspire many people to go out and buy the re-release of Good Girl Gone Bad but, it's another hit Rihanna can add to the list.

When I Grow Up - The Pussycat Dolls

I love it now. Love, love, love. Check out the performance below if you haven't already.

American Boy - Estelle/Kanye West

I'm kinda late catching on to this song, but it's definitely poised to be the crossover hit Estelle has been waiting for. She owes a lot to Kanye, though; his flow takes the track to the next level.

Ur So Gay - Katy Perry

Katy Perry is quickly climbing the charts with her single I Kissed a Girl, but I love the catchy kiss-off that is Ur So Gay. I'm going to go ahead and predict that Katy will garner a lot of attention this year. She's a new artist who can actually sing and she's got clever lyrics to boot. Not to mention, gorgeous.

Damaged - Danity Kane

I've been singing "How you gonna fix it, fix it, fix it" for months now and it hasn't gotten old. I'm surprised that five girls with minimal talent being managed by Diddy have been able to last this long, but I won't knock the hustle.
