Personal Song Review
Choice Cut : Fearless, Love Story, You Belong With Me, Should've Said No*, Teardrops On My Guitar*, Our Song*
*Additional songs available on Asian Version

When you're 11 and want a record deal, what most kids would do is whine about it to their parents, get a cookie and move on to their next dream. Not country pop darling, Taylor Swift though! With sheer conviction about what she wants to do for the rest of her life, she moved her entire family to Nashville, home of all the big Country stars to pursue that dream. Fast forward to today, now 19, Swift is not only an accomplished singer-songwriter but one with 2 albums, a bunch of awards and a whole load of nominations to her name.
With her sophomore album, appropriately titled, Fearless, (also her first international release) Taylor Swift gives us a taste of why her name is one of the most talked about ones these days (apart from a certain Jonas saga). Title track, "Fearless" starts off simple with signature country twangs and may sound like any other pop song but what keeps you tuned on is not only Swift's rich vocals, but also the unique, story-telling style of lyric writing she's oh so well known for.
Moving down the list, tracks like "Love Story" and "You're Not Sorry" (featured on an episode of CSI where Miss Swift is a guest star) steers towards mainstream country pop with its musical arrangement. If you're looking for something to tap your feet or jam to, you might find the answer in "You Belong With Me" and "Should've Said No" which features heavier instrumental works and choruses that echoes the minds of the many tween girls out there.
But how can anyone forget the song that propelled this young songstress to fame? "Teardrops On My Guitar" is a simple pop tune with true to the heart lyrics about a heartbreaking tale of liking a guy and not having your feelings reciprocated. And no, it's not some anonymous guy - with this lady, what you hear is what you get.
The album does have its low moments in the middle though, when tracks just pass you by but that doesn't last for long, thanks to her witty choice of words.
With honest lines, catchy beats and innocent guitar strums, Fearless lives up to its name and might very well be the motto for Taylor Swift herself, for at her tender age, she shows no fear in writing what she believes in.

Hey Stephen album review
Hey Stephen, I know looks can be deceiving
But I know I saw a light in you
And as we walked we were talking
I didn't say half the things I wanted to
Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window
I'll be the one waiting there even when it's cold
Hey Stephen, boy, you might have me believing
I don't always have to be alone
'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself
Hey Stephen, I've been holding back this feeling
So I got some things to say to you
I've seen it all, so I thought
But I never seen nobody shine the way you do
The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name
It's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change
Hey Stephen, why are people always leaving?
I think you and I should stay the same
'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself
They're dimming the street lights, you're perfect for me
Why aren't you here tonight?
I'm waiting alone now, so come on and come out
And pull me near and shine, shine, shine
Hey Stephen, I could give you fifty reasons
Why I should be the one you choose
All those other girls, well, they're beautiful
But would they write a song for you?
I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself
If you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself
Myself
Can't help myself
I can't help myself

Lyrics.
If I were a boy even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted
And go drink beer with the guys
And chase after girlsI
'd kick it with who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it
'Cause they stick up for me
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that I was sleeping alone
I'd put myself first
And make the rules as I go
'Cause I know that she'd be faithful
Waiting for me to come home, to come home
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her'
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake
Think I'd forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong
But you're just a boy
You don't understand
And you don't understand, oh
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you wish you were a better man
You don't listen to her
You don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
'Cause you're taking her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
But you're just a boy
Music Review.
"If i were a boy" sang by Beyonce is a misunderstanding between the genders and an indictment of the male side of relationships. The pain of the experience is palpable counter-balanced somewhat by a sense of hope that progress can still be made.
Beyoncé Giselle Knowles (born September 4, 1981).
Genre : R&B , pop , soul.
