Top 10 of 2015

Elastic Heart – Sia

Reviews:

Sia is such a talented artist and so underrated. This song is so great.

She’s one of the few artists of today who actually know what music is.

Such a powerful performance by Sia about battling self-emotions. What this does so well is to convey this emotion in not only the song, but the video itself. Shia LaBeouf and Maddie Ziegler (both in the video) act as conflicting state of minds, and the cage act as a barrier that they can’t get out of (in this instance, it’s the human skull).

Sia’s strong vocal performance enhances this meaning, and does what other modern pop songs need to do.

That’s so true. I know I might seem like a ranter, but I love Sia with all my heart. I loved the video, it really touched me so much!

Such a powerful song, and even though the music video is considered weird or creepy by some, it has so much power and emotion behind it. Sia is one of the most talented artists of this generation, and this song just proves that ten-fold!

It’s a really good song, but let’s be honest, if you can understand more than 75% of what she’s singing without looking at the lyrics, you’re lying.

8 Ex’s & Oh’s – Elle King

Reviews:

Gonna have to disagree with the other comment, this song is actually good. It’s songs like Watch Me that aren’t good.

It’s one of the worst song of the year. It’s horrible and I was dying when I listened to it.

Her voice is nice, but I don’t like the lyrics.

9 Here – Alessia Cara

Reviews:

I think that Alessia Cara deserves to be in the top ten because she works really hard for her music to become what it is, which is outstanding lyrics and very unique choices of words. She is one of the couple of singers that make their words come from within, and not just from words smashed together to be hits. It is very rare to have talent like that. She is one of the best singers of 2015, and forever more.

I’m voting for this because it deserves to be higher. I don’t understand why people like Hello so much, this is way more relatable and beautiful. She has a powerful voice that people apparently only see in Adele. And I finally get a song that’s not just about your boyfriend, which I really don’t care about. No offense or anything, but I’m not interested in any relationships except for my friends’ and the ones in my books.

It definitely reminds me of all the parties I sat out of as a kid. Hanging out by the chip bowl and angling to change the sports to Danny Phantom, while avoiding the crowd. Trying to find a quiet corner to read. At least now I know I wasn’t the only person to feel this way.

She is amazing and so relatable! Her voice is really unique and her message is really rare these days, which I love! She is so cool and beautiful! I really think this should be put way higher, and also her other songs are amazing as well, like scars to your beautiful! She is overall just an awesome person with insane talent, she’s gonna go so far and I can’t wait to watch her shine!

One of the only pop songs I actually like. Alessia Cara has a nice voice and a nice personality.

 

10. Can’t Feel My Face – The Weeknd

Reviews:

Awful, just an awful song that highlights music today. This isn’t good music, this is mainstream garbage. – David Bondra

What is wrong with society this is not a love song this is about the singers cocaine addiction.

The Weeknd trying to be like Michael Jackson. I say that’s awesome. It’s really catchy to listen to, and it’s without a doubt my favorite song of all time next to a few Michael Jackson songs.

Can’t feel my face sucks in my opinion
