Some Samantha favorites from this century

From Nov. 11, on Sirius XM Channel 10:

Michelle Branch, "Everywhere", 2001, 3,600.
Daughtry, something about Being Surprised, 2009, 4,550. He was one of those American Idol runners-up who made a name for himself afterward.
James Blunt, "You're Beautiful", I forget the year. I remembered the name of the song because he says it many times. That's true. 4,800, possibly lower.
Baby Bash, "Suga, Suga", 2003 maybe? It started really low, but I went up to 4,850 primarily because I liked the rapping better than the singing, which was very repetitive and didn't match the beat as well as the rapping did.
N Sync, "It's Gonna Be Me" from 2000. It was good to get this one next to the Baby Bash song. My thinking was "Is this song better than that one?" You know? It's not. 4,900. There's a chance they both might move up slightly but they won't go down probably.
50 Cent/The Game, I forget the name of it, I don't even know the year. It was not real good. They are high-powered names and the rap was OK as far as the beat, but the message was pretty much, "I'm cool because I may or may not go to jail." 4,925.
No Doubt featuring Lady Saw, "Underneath It All", 2008. I kind of wondered why they needed Lady Saw when they have Gwen Stefani. Lady S did add something; I guess she's a reggae performer, 4,650.
Fountains of Wayne, "Stacey's Mom", '03. It was the first MILF song, that I can remember anyway. 2,900.
Black Eyed Peas, "Boom Boom Pow" from 2009. They did mix up some things in there. I think they could have used more Fergie. She had the line, "I'm so 3008, you're so 2000-late," or something like that. 4,450.
Rob Thomas, "Little Wonders". I have little affection for this one. The year was '05, I think. 4,750.
Green Day, "Holiday", '05. 2,800.
Linkin Park, "Shadow of the Day", '08. 4,550.
Kelly Clarkson, "Walk Away", '05, I think. 4,400.
Outkast, "Hey Ya", from '03. I reconsidered something about these songs in relation to each other and  based on what I've heard today. If I'm going to give "Stacey's Mom" 2,900, I would give Outkast about 2,600 and I would move that Green Day song up to 2,400. The Outkast song gets you out of your seat, for sure.
Lady Gaga, "Paparazzi". I've already reviewed this one. I think it was around 3,900.
Three Doors Down, "Let Me Go", '05. I've been so distracted by the traffic that I didn't get a good listen to it. It wasn't anything great. 4,500.
Owl City, "Fireflies", '09. This is something Samantha liked when it was popular. It's not terrible. 4,300.
Here's another one she really liked: Taylor Swift, "Love Story", and I'll go 3,700 on it.
