"Halo" is an interesting song coming from Beyonce. Unlike most of her power ballads, the lyrics are beautiful and meaningful. However, her delivery obscures their beauty, making this song yet another unremarkable dance beat. It is a shame to hear the song sung so wrong. Completely redone, it could be the best song of Beyonce's career. The way it is, it is the same as all of her other many releases. Beyonce's power, status, beauty and commercial appeal always overshadow her work. This song had a chance to break that pattern, but ultimately failed.

"Love Story" is an all right song, despite being ridden with cliches and mildly hampered by Taylor Swift's lack of vocal prowess. My frustration with this artist mostly stems from her unoriginality. Taylor Swift is such a good girl. Her squeaky-clean image will last her a few years, and she will probably continue to rise in popularity due to mostly unremarkable songs like this. In a few years, though, I hope to see Swift naughty it up a little bit, and bring out an edgier but more believable persona. Only in taking risks and showing her true personality will she reach her musical peak.
