.99 Review Quicktakes

The Band Perry - Hip to My Heart

The Peoples Take
Weird, stupid, makes no sense...POP song (1 Star) - this is NOT a country song...the group is weird sounding, weird looking, this song makes no sense and the lyrics are AWFUL "I like your lips like I like my coca cola"....what in the world?!
by supergurl234

My Take
Take mixed vocal band of young adorable people. Add dopey name. Throw in a cup of Lady Antebellum, a pinch of 4 Non Blondes and 2 tablespoons of Colbie Caillat. Mix thoroughly with a pound of sugar and you've got The Band Perry's "Hip to My Heart." Is it catchy? Yeah. Is it country? HFN. Does it have any lasting significance? Negatory.

Total Value: .17/.99

Blake Shelton with Trace Adkins - Hillbilly Bone

The Peoples Take
Great song (5 Stars) - The best song that I have ever heard!!!
by Bull Rider 123

My Take
If a cliche song is sung by two of the more distinctive and traditional voices in country and everybody hears it, does it still suck? Pretty much. The buoyant personality of the singers is just the proverbial lipstick on a pig.

Total Value: .43/.99

Lee Brice - Love Like Crazy

The Peoples Take
Just found him... (2 Stars) - Not diggin' the music too much yet but they guy is handsome as hell!!!
by Arisanne

My Take
It's probably the least interesting of the 2 or 3 singles Brice has put out thus far and features the most contrived verse I've heard in a while (v2), but this will probably be the one that gives him his first hit. Not a timeless song by any stretch, but this guy's due (and deserving).

Total Value: .55/.99

Lee Ann Womack - There is a God

The Peoples Take:
Sorry, I'm still atheist. (1 Star) - And this song is boring. kthx
- courtney ninja

Buy this song! (5 Stars) - This version is by far greater than Trent's. Lee Ann is a superior singer...PERIOD. People need to recognize Womack and give her the respect she deserves.
- Coatmix

My Take:
A decent song, much more convincingly performed previously by Trent Willmon. "There is a God" is a pretty transparent stab at the commercial success that has eluded Womack for a couple of albums now. I don't begrudge her that, and it likely will be a hit, but it lacks the passion that breathed life into her previous smashes.

Total Value: .58/.99

Jonathan Singleton & The Grove - Look Who's Back in Love

The Peoples Take:
Look who (5 Stars) - Great song with a great beat keep em comin
- The Intibbidator

My Take:
3 minute positive not too country up-tempo love song that falls somewhere between Keith Urban and uhhh... Keith Urban in sound, "Look Who's Back in Love" will probably climb into the top 10 by February and will definitely fall out of your memory by April.

Total Value: .40/.99
