Here’s my list of favourite songs of 2009. I will not be including songs from albums that were released in previous years that happened to top the chart this year though, including the incredible “Halo” by Beyonce, and only includes songs that were released as singles. So here we go:
1) I Want To Know What Love Is – Mariah Carey
I really love this remake of the Foreigner classic, and I think Mariah really did this song very well. She’s an amazing vocalist, and it definitely shows. I didn’t think the music video did the song justice though. I think she could have filmed it in a real arena/ stadium, and it would have looked much better. Anyway, she still looks stunning and sounds amazing!
2) 掉了(Fallen) – Amit/ A*Mei
Definitely my favourite Mandarin song of 2009! The composer Qing Feng wrote this song especially for A*mei after hearing about her plight in which she was not able to see her father for the last time because of a certain typhoon that disrupted air traffic. A truly emotional song and delivered perfectly by Amit/ A*mei! The music video is really nice too!
3) Happy – Leona Lewis
The talented singer from the X Factor series wows again with her new album and single. “Happy” is delivered flawlessly by Leona Lewis, displaying her powerful vocals as well as ability to emote..
