Summer Song Hopeful #6:
Price Tag by Jessie J Featuring B.o.B
Pros:
- Between the reggae influence and the sing-a-long style chorus this song is sure to get stuck into the fibers of your brain tissue for the entire summer.
- The message of this song is very up-beat and positive (even though it says 'hoes' - who could argue her point?, and even seems to mirror Mike Posner's 'Stop being fake!' anthem.
Cons:
- This song was released in January of 2011, so if you wanted to be a real stickler about it you could say that it doesn't count. I would submit to you - exhibit A. My own blog post from March when I said that this song would be a hit in the U.S. soon, and it is - now, not then.
Fun Facts:
- This song has reached #1 in 14 countries including Jessie J's home country of England. (It only reached #23 here in the U.S.)
- The video is really bizarre and features a music box, a giant teddy bear and marionettes.
- Check out the video below to see 12 year old Maddi Jane, a young girl from Chicago known for her YouTube videos, performing a just as good if not better version of the song!
Do you think 'Price Tag' has what it takes to be crowned Summer Song 2011?
