1. On the Floor feat. Pit Bull
"On the Floor" honestly sounds like an overdone disco disaster. Choruses are repeated to the point of pain, and appear in cut-and-paste places. Pit Bull drones on in the background and soon becomes merely noise, his rhymes overly cliched and making you long for his contribution to be over. Lopez's voice is really the only compliment to this song, smoothly blending with the instrumentals. The beat and other instrumentals aren't horribly engaging, though moderately pleasant to dance to. In a world full of pop/hip-hop collaborations, this track works hard to stand out, but eventually just fades into the background.
2. 'Till the World Ends
Britney's back...With a mediocre track. This song takes a little time to get used to. The beat doesn't disappoint, but the verses sure do. There's only so much that a pop song can express, but the lyrics still fall short. Constant skipping noises and repetition unbelievably benefit the chorus, but the rest of the song needs work. It's a lighthearted song that's just meant to be fun, though you'll probably have to rely on the instrumentals to get you through. It's the kind of track that's not really meant for you to think about, just dance. Eventually, though, you'll probably forget even that.3. Born This Way
Lady GaGa's new single doesn't disappoint. The themes she presents are self-acceptance and individuality, set to an impossibly catchy beat. GaGa's unique style still shines. Her strong vocals perfectly compliment her message, and create a song to dance to and really appreciate. GaGa's song states that "God makes no mistakes" and neither does this track.4. E.T. feat. Kanye West
