Round 2, Tie 3

 

 

 

Just The Way You Are (Amazing) by Bruno Mars (3)

Just The Way You Are (Amazing) was the lead single from the début album of Bruno Mars. Released in the UK in September 2010, it went in at number 1, which is a position the song reached in many charts across the world. In the US, it was released in June, and had sold over 3.2m digital copies. The music video features actress Nathalie Kelley.

 

 

vs.

 

 

We Speak No Americano by Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP (9)

The song was released by Australian duo Yolanda Be Cool and producer DCUP in February 2010, achieving success across most of the globe, including number 1's in the UK and most of Europe. The radio edit (the video) is extremely short at 2 minutes, 19 seconds long. It samples the 1956 song Tu vuò fà l'americano by Renato Carosone. When I first heard the song, it did nothing but annoy me - but it has slowly grown on me, and I think the music video is quite funny!

Round 2, Tie 4

 

 

Airplanes by B.o.B. feat. Hayley Williams (7)

Taken from B.o.B.'s debut album, the track features Hayley Williams, the lead vocalist of the Paramore. Released in the UK in August, it reached the top of the UK charts. Internationally, it performed well, with many top 10 placings. The duo did not get into the studio to record the track; instead, they performed it together for the first time at 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. Airplanes, Part II has been released as a sequel, featuring rapper Eminem as well as Williams.

 

 

vs.

 

 

Telephone by Lady Gaga feat. Beyonce (15)

Released in January 2010, the song achieved numerous number 1s across the world, including the UK. The song was written for Britney Spears by Lady Gaga and Rodney Jerkins, but was rejected by Spears' record label. Instead, Lady Gaga teamed up with Beyonce. The main inspiration behind the song was Gaga's fear of suffocation as she felt that she seldom found time to just let loose and have fun. The song consists of an expanded bridge, verse-rap and an epilogue, and was well received by critics.
