Most big artists have their key songs, but what songs by them do you love?
Katy Perry - "Thinking of you" - Beautiful heartfelt ballad:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdGZBRAwW74
Plus "Waking up in Vegas" - catchy rock tune:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-pUaogoX5o
These seem to have been forgotten about since the "Teenage Dream" era.
This one is VERY different to what Rihanna is doing now. "We Ride":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlvY1o6XKwA
I don't know if this was ever officially released but I do like this one from Pixie Lott - "Can't Make This Over":

Beyonce - Dance For You (and the whole of the 4 album tbh)
Demi Lovato - Here We Go Again
Leona Lewis - I Got You
N-Dubz - So Alive
Nicki Minaj - Massive Attack
Paramore - Careful
Rihanna - Shut Up and Drive & Hard
Taylor Swift - White Horse
Just my opinion, but Massive Attack is shit. I agree about Rihanna, though I don't think either of those were underrated.
Britney Spears: Criminal, Overprotected, Do Something
Robbie Williams: You Know Me
Avril Lavigne: Smile, Goodbye, Hot and Nobody's Home
Madonna: Get Together
Christina Aguilera: You Lost Me
Katy Perry: Waking Up in Vegas and Thinking Of You
Love this song and the video! So touching and emotional.
Kelis - I Don't Think So
Leona Lewis - I'm You
Nicole Scherzinger - Tomorrow Never Dies
Taio Cruz - Tattoo
Alexandra Burke - Before The Rain
Bjórk - Hidden Place
Mariah Carey - H.A.T.E.U
Katy Perry - Waking Up In Vegas (Calvin Harris Remix)
Ciara - Yeah I Know
The Black Eyed Peas - Fashion Beats
Toni Braxton - Hit The Freeway
Circus
Till The World Ends (easily one of the best pop/dance records of the last 5 years)
Criminal
I agree with these highlighted ones, and Leona with Forgive Me and Kylie with Wouldn't Change a Thing
U2 with Staring at the Sun and City of Blinding Lights
Snow Patrol with Take Back the City
Faithless/ Dido with One Step Too Far
I may think of some more later...
Christina Aguilera - You Lost Me, I Turn To You, Save Me From Myself
Britney Spears - Overprotected, Criminal, Womanizer, Stronger
Lady GaGa - You & I, Beautiful Dirty Rich
Sugababes - Stronger, Red Dress, Run For Cover Follow Me Home
Paramore - Careful, All We Know, That's What You Get In The Mourning
`Follow Me Home" is my fav Sugababes single.
The Killers - "Dustland Fairytale", "Boots", "The World That We Live In"
Other pop suggestions:
you lost me - christina
break the ice - britney
i see you - leona
Madonna - Dress You Up/Love Don't Live Here Anymore/Oh Father/The Power Of Goodbye/Hollywood/Get Together/Miles Away
Christina Aguilera - You Lost Me
Britney - I Wanna Go/Circus/Stronger
Kylie - In My Arms
Katy Perry - Waking Up In Vegas
Ciara - Work
Kanye West - Flashing Lights/Monster
Gwen Stefani - Cool
I remember this song and I didn't even know it was by Rihanna. Very under rated song!
Beyonce - Ring The Alarm
Kylie Minogue- Please Stay, Chocolate, In My Arms, Put Yourself In My Place, Breathe
Christina Aguilera- You Lost Me
Sugababes- Angels With Dirty Faces, New Year, Change, Denial
Girls Aloud- No Good Advice
Ellie Goulding- The Writer, Guns and Horses
Calvin Harris- Flashback
Adele- Cold Shoulder
Thinking of You/ Katy Perry - Is incredible and the best song she has ever released, most of Katy's other material is just pop for kids.
Hands Clean/ Alanis Morissette - It's just perfection, her most well written song and is miles better than anything on Jagged Little Pill.
Upside Down/ Paloma Faith - Just how was this NOT a hit.
Going Under/ Evanesence - Overshadowed by Bring Me To Life & My Immortal and in my opinion is just as good.
This Is War/ 30 Seconds To Mars - Overshadowed by the incredible Kings & Queens but is still very good.
I agree with most of this Updie down is odd as its well known and stuck around in the lower reaches for ages.
YES to that, one of The Killers' best songs, and it's criminally ignored, even by Killers fans.
Jedward - Luminous
Beyonce - Why Don't You Love Me
Leona Lewis - Collide
Sugababes - Follow Me Home
