'Kiss Me Thru The Phone' is a bit disturbing in that it seems to be Soulja Boy trying to be The-Dream, and Soulja Boy's lyrics are as retarded as ever ("Baby, I been thinkin' lately/So much about you/Everything about you/I like, yeah, I love it"), and actually the entire concept of the song is retarded (wtf is a kiss through a phone even like?), if oddly innocent in these days of sexting and so on. BUT I CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD. IN A GOOD WAY. I actually really enjoy listening to it. What can one do, eh.

Out of the two good songs in the top 10, I prefer middling Ciara to middling Beyoncé. (I mean, middling for both of them is still 8/10, these are both great songs, it's just that 8/10 is middling for artists who bring the 10/10s with regularity.) The top 5 is pure horror - three nemeses of mine, and two tracks which make me mourn for a genre I loved.
