Well, I must be woefully out of date, because, to my knowledge, I’ve never even heard any of these songs, unless it was background music on a TV show or movie. I have head of The Black Eyed Peas and Christina Aguilera, but none of the others. And to think I used to know all the words and music to everything new & popular, up until the late 70’s that is. Talk about out of touch.
Sad to say… I have all of them.
None! “Firework” would be the one I’m most likely to buy.
