Some of my favorite songs in 2011

I had been thinking about this for a week or so and just wanted to share.

In no particular order some of my favorite songs from the year are:

'Best Thing I Never Had (Remix)' - Beyonce Feat. Lil Jon, DJ Kontrol & Shawty Putt



'Ladies Love Me' - Chris Brown Feat. Justin Beiber



'Co-Sign' - SWV



'Sleazy (Remix 2.0 - Get Sleazier)' - Ke$ha Feat. Wiz Khalifa, Lil Wayne, T.I. and Andre 3000



'Bahm Bahm' - Keri Hilson



'Fireball' - Willow Smith Feat. Nicki Minaj



'My Girl (Remix)' - Mindless Behavior Feat. Tyga,  Ciara and Lil Twist



'Love' - Chuck Brown Feat. Jill Scott

It is extremely hard to find a vid for this song

(New Music) Lil Chuckee Ft. Little Richard - 'Wop'

More than anything, I am still in shock over this dudes age. He is 15 sounding like he is 40 and his lyrics are nowhere near appropiate for his age.

Listen to 'Wop' below:

(New Music) R. Kelly - 'I Quit You'

As soon as I started this song, I was immediately caught by the beat on the track. I really like this uptempo track and the feel that it gives you. It kinda reminds me of his 'Step In The Name Of Love' old school / jive phase.

Listen to 'I Quit You' below:

(New Music) R. Kelly - 'Nothing On'

I really like this song and it's mid-tempo beat. It really crosses me as a song that would be considered baby making music, LOL.

Listen to 'Nothing On' below:

(Breaking News) Beyonce has supposedly gone into labor [UNCONFIRMED]

As I am still waiting on confirmation on if this is true or not I have noticed several sourced saying that she has reserved the "Celebrity Birthing Suite" at St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital in New York City. If this is indeed true then I and everyone at AndresFlava wish her a safe delivery.

(New Music Video) Kid Sister & Riff Raff - 'Kris Krangle'

My personal top 10 music video's of 2011

These are my personal to 10 music video's for 2011

1. Marsha Ambrosius - 'Far Away'

I feel in love with this music video when I saw it earlier this year. I was surprised that Marsha tackled such a heavy issue on her debut music video from her debut solo album. The music video tells a very compelling story about assumptions and acceptence.

2. Beyonce - 'Love On Top'

I have always been a fan of the "old school" music and I knew from the first scene that a 80's music video by New Edition was being depicted. As this video goes on it continues to pay homage to several male R&B/Pop groups such as New Edition, Jackson 5, The Temptations, and i am not sure which group the last is supposed to be.

3, Mindless Behavior Ft. Ciara, Tyga and Lil Twist - 'My Girl (Remix)'

These kids really got my attention with this remix to their debut single pulling in heavy hitter Ciara and well known rappers Tyga and Lil Twist. I really like the song and the music video is cool too.

4. Kelly Rowland Ft. Big Sean - 'Lay It On Me'

Kelly is putting on a real sexual look with her third album "Here I Am" and it is apparently working for her. I have noticed that just as several male rappers have half naked females in their music videos, she appears to be doing the same with half naked males. She really seems to have found her niche with the whole grown and sexy thing she is putting on.

5. Chris Brown - 'She Ain't You'

I really like this video that he dedicated to the late Michael Jackson because he also seemed to be having a really good time in this vid. I have not seen him this happy in a long time since the whole Rihanna thing. I also really liked the fact that he featured his good friend Seven from the former girl group Richgirn on both the song and in the music video.

6. Marsha Ambrosius - 'Late Nights & Early Mornings'

Marsha did it again with her second single from her debut solo album. The album's title track also delivers a very powerful message. In all honesty, I was kinda confused until the end of the video and then I was like Oooooo I get it now.

6. Monica - 'Until It's Gone'

I love music video's that tell a story and this was no exception. The music video goes on to show that tomorrow is not promised. She was able to pull actor Brian White in on the video. I think it tells a compelling story.

8. Chris Brown Ft. Busta Rhymes & Lil Wayne - 'Look At Me Now'

This music video is just pure fun. Chris looks like he was just having a good time in this video which overall was a good look for him. The video overall was just a good time.

9. Britney Spears - 'Criminal'

I LOVE this music video just as I LOVE the song. The music video really portrayed a movie involving abuse, betrayal, love, and crime as 2 love struck people meet and one criminal seduces the other in a life of crime. Overall, this plot line would lead to a REALLY good movie.

10. Big Sean Ft. Nicki Minaj - 'Dance (A$$) (Remix)'

This video was really just as expected for me for a party / club heavy track. I did not really notice a point to this music video but I still liked it.

(New Music Video) Ludacris Ft. Meek Mill - 'Say It To My Face'

(New Music Video) Rihanna - 'You Da One'

(New Music) Bei Major - 'The Truth'

This song is not bad at all. Bei Major is not a bad singer and im lovin how he hits the occasional high note, LOL. However I am still waiting for him to drop a vocally powerful ballad as a single.

Listen to 'The Truth' below:

(New Mixtape) The Weekend - "Echos Of Silence"

Tracklisting

1. “D.D.” (“Dirty Diana” cover)
2. “Montreal”
3. “Outside”
4. “XO/The Host”

(New Music) Nicki Minaj - 'Stupid Hoe'

I have noticed over the past year or so that I really like the gay male alter ego of Nicki Minaj. Roman Zolanski lyrically spits some hard shit although this track will only further the beef with Lil Kim. This track which is possibly the lead single from Nicki's sophmore album "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded" due to be released on Valentines Day February 14th.

Listen to 'Stupid Hoe' below:

(New Music Video) Lloyd Ft. Trey Songz & Young Jeezy - 'Be The One'

(Video) Michael Bublé and Kelly Rowland perform 'White Christmas'

(New Music Video) Dawn Richard - 'Passion In Motion'

(New Music Video) Common - 'Celebrate'

Jennifer Hudson looks amazing

Ok, so what. J Hud lost a lil more weight but still looking stunning as ever. I know that I should not be the one to say this, but since she has started to lose weight, her head looks much bigger. I still love me some J Hud tho.

(Video) Beyonce performs 'Single Ladies', 'Single Ones' & 'Sex On Fire' at Glastinbury 2011

(Video) Marcus Canty and Melanie Amaro from "X Factor" US version sing 'The Closer I Get To You' by Beyonce & Luther Vandross in dressing room

I love this and the way that Marcus and Melanie carried the song vocally. I fully fell in love with this vid the first time I saw it. I also did not realize until recently that Marcus lives really close to me. Nothing but talent in the D/M/V.

Watch Marcus and Melanie sing 'The Closer I Get To You' below:

(Video) Syeshia Mercado from American Idol performs 'Love On Top' by Beyonce in her dressing room:

Well besides the fact that I LOVE this song she really killed it vocally and no offence to any Beyonce stans but this version sounded MUCH better than the studio version.I first saw this video awhile ago and I LOVE it.

Watch Syeshia Mercado sing below:

(New Music) SWV - 'Co-Sign'

One of my all time favorite female R&B groups is back with their debut single from their as of yet untitled album due to be released in 2012. 

I really like the song and the somewhat 90's feel it gives me musically. I really do not know what else to say other than i am all ecstatic, giddy, and whatever else LOL. Oh, and the song is available on iTunes at http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/co-sign-single/id489925812?ls=1

(New Music) Katy Perry Ft. B.O.B - 'The One That Got Away (Remix'

Now, I like the original song and B.O.B but I dont really like him on this remix. In my opinion, this song should have never been touched but oh well.

Listen to the remix to 'The One That Got Away' below:

(Album Cover) Soulja Boy - "Promise"

(New Music Video) Young Jeezy - 'Nothin'

(New Music) Young Jeezy Ft. Jill Scott - 'Trapped'

This song kinda caught me off guard when Jill Scott started rapping but I still like the song overall. I do not dislike it but it is not the best either.

Listen to 'Trapped' below:

(New Music Video) Lil Playy - 'Ring Finger'

(New Music Video) 50 Cent - 'Wait Until Tonight'

(Video) Young Jeezy performs 'I Do' and 'Lose My Mind' on Jimmy Kimmel

(New Music) Ashanti Ft. Busta Rhymes - 'The Woman You Love'

This song is not bad but I really expected Ashanti to come back a little harder than this. I mean it is not a bad songm but as a returning single I just though it was kind of wear. This song shoult be on her as of yet untitled fifth studio album. I just really hope that she cab drop singles that I actually like.

Listen to 'The Woman You Love' below:

(New Music) Mya - 'Somebody Come Get This Bitch'

This song is hype and I LOVE IT!!!!! The lyrics are just funny to me, There really is not much to say other thab saying that it is a good song to listen to on your way to the club.

Listen to 'Somebody Come Get This Bitch' below:

(New Music) Cherlise - 'Under The Mistletoe'

This song has a really smooth and sexy vide. I am really liking it. Her smooth vocals really place me in a relaxed zone as I sit back and listen to her coo over the very smooth beat.

Listen to 'Under The Misletoe' below:

(New Music Video) Mindless Behavior - 'Christmas With My Girl'

(New Music) Cam'ron Ft. Rihanna - 'We Found Love (Remix)'

Im really feeling this remix as Cam'ron flows over a heavy pop beat. This is a fairly good remix to the track.

Listen to the 'We Found Love (Remix)' below:

(Video) Common on "Chelsea Lately"

Fantasia gives birth (to HIS child)

Now, let me take the shade back because I have no proof (YET) that it is his, but I believe that it is safe to assume that the child belongs to Antwaun Cook. If so and she is happy with the relationship then I am happy for her. She has given birth to little Dallas Xavier Barrino on Tuesday December 13th, 2011 .A healthy baby boy and all in all that is the only thing that matters.

(New Music) Mystical Ft. Birdman & Lil Wayne - 'Original'

YMCMB welcomes it's newest signee the well known southern rapper Mystical. This track to me is the typical 'No Limit' bs with no sign of growth. Just my personal opinion but judge for yourself.

Listen to 'Original' below:

(New Music) Lil Twist Ft. 2 Chainz - 'Do What I Want'

This track is only so-so to me. It seems overly typical and I really do not how else to describe it.

Listen ti 'Do What I Want' below:

(New Music) Planet VI Ft. Cassie - 'Sex, Drugs, & Rock-N-Roll'

This track is pretty good. I like it overall. The mixtape by Planet VI "The American Dream" drops on December 21st.

Listen to 'Sex, Drugs, Rock-N-Roll' below:

(New Music Video) Ludacris Ft. Gucci Mane - 'Shake N Fries'

(New Music) Jeremih - 'You're Mine'

Im feelin the lil old school doo-wop vibe that this track is giving me but then again I have always been a fan of 60's and 70's music (and I was not even born til the 80's). This track is cutesy and all but I really do not see this track being a strong single. It is a fairly decent holiday song tho.

Listen to 'You're Mine' below:

(New Music Video) 50 Cent Ft. Tony Yayo - 'I Just Wanna'

(New Music) Joistarr - 'Thinking Bout You' (Frank Ocean Cover)

Joistarr hops on the 'Thinking Bout You' train and does her own cover. To be 100% real with yall, in my opinion it is not the best. I personally do not believe that it trumps Dondria's cover of the song, and in all honesty Justin Beiber and Willow Smith dod a good cover of the song too. All 4 versions are not bad but I in no way think that this was the absolute best cover. Not bad, but not the best either.

Listen to Joistarr cover 'Thinking Bout You' below:

(New Music) Ke$ha – Sleazy Remix 2.0 – Get Sleazier Ft. Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, T.I. & André 3000

I am fully loving this remix because the beat is just making me want to hit the club. The fellas come in real hard spitting serious rhymes. This is hands down a club track making you want to get a lil "sleazy" in the club.

Listen to the 'Sleazy (Remix - 2.0 Get Sleazier) below:

(New Music Video) Lil Twist Ft. Khalil - 'Over Again'

(New Music Video) Mariah Carey Ft. John Legend - 'When Christmas Comes'

(New Music Video) Gym Class Heroes Ft. Neon Hitch - 'Ass Back Home'

(Album Review) Mary J. Blige - "My Life II ... The Journey Continues (Act 1)"

I sitting here listening to this album and all in all I love it. This is one of the few albums that I can willingly listen to from beginning to end. This album is a definite must buy. Now, I have not heard the orional "My Life" YET. Yea I know, so sue me. Right now I am discussimg THIS album and it is overall a good R&B album by today's standards.

I have known for a few months now that one of my favorite female R&B groups have reunited and working on their 4th studio non holiday album.I am personally looking forward to the album which will more than likely drop in 2012. This is their single cover for the lead single off of their as of yet untitled upcoming album. Now, I am just waiting for my all time favorite male R&B singer (Tevin Campbell) to come back.
