Update 12/9/18: Had to replace a couple of these videos because they'd been deleted.
1. Mariah Carey- Honey
This is my favourite Mariah song. :) It was the first single from her 1997 album Butterfly. I included Honey in my Top 10 Mariah Songs post which you can read here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2013/01/top-10-mariah-carey-songs.html
2. Mariah Carey- Heartbreaker (Remix) feat. Da Brat and Missy Elliot
This is the remix to Heartbreaker and while I like the original, the remix is my favourite. It's featured on both the Rainbow album (1999) and The Remixes (2003). I also included this song in my Mariah Top 10 (No 2).
3. Sarah Connor- The Loving Permission
The Loving Permission is my favourite song by German singer Sarah Connor. You can find it on her second album Unbelievable, which came out in 2001.
4. Koda Kumi- feel
Koda Kumi is my fave Japanese singer. I chose feel as the No 1 song on the Top 10 Koda Kumi Songs list I posted in June. It's from her BEST~second session~ album (2006) and was released as a
single on 11th January 2006 as part of her 12 Singles Project (where she
released one single every week for 12 weeks).
feel is one of a series of interlinked videos in which 3 men tell
stories about the women in their lives. Kumi plays each of the women.
The others are You, Lies and the final one Someday, which ties all the
videos together.
Update 4/7/24: Avex videos are now blocked from being shown on third party applications. If
you click on the video you can watch it fine on YouTube. :)
This is the official AVEX upload but since they don't tend to post full videos, I've also linked to the full version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu4fX_-m3Rs
5.Utada Hikaru- Let Me Give You My Love
I really like Let Me Give You My Love by Japanese American singer Utada Hikaru. It's on her first English language album (under the Island Def Jam record label) Exodus (2004).
6. LL Cool J- Doin' It feat. LeShaun
Along with Ja Rule (see below) LL Cool J is one of my favourite rappers. He's had a long career (30 years, as long as I've been alive! lol). Doin' It came out in 1996 but I think I first heard it in about 1998. I really wanted to get the single but had trouble finding it. In the end I got it as an import from HMV. (This was before the days of iTunes and iPods, lol).
Doin' It is from LL's 6th studio album Mr. Smith (his real name is James Todd Smith) and contains a sample of Grace Jones' My Jamaican Guy. I think there was a remix on the CD single where you could hear "My Jamaican Guy" sung in the background.
Please note that this is the explicit version.
7. CoCo Lee- Do You Want My Love
This is my fave song by Chinese American singer CoCo Lee. It's from her first full length English album Just No Other Way (2000) and also appears on 1994-2008 Best Collection. There are two versions though, with slightly different lyrics.
I featured If You Had My Love as No 1 on my Top 10 Jennifer Lopez Songs post which you can read here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2012/10/top-10-jennifer-lopez-songs.html
It was Jennifer's debut single from her debut album On The 6 (1999) and was released in June 1999.
9. Jennifer Lopez feat. Ja Rule- I'm Real Remix
My second favourite J.Lo song and No 2 on my Top 10 list. This is the remix of the original song I'm Real and it features Ja
Rule. I actually prefer this to the original I'm Real, although I like
that as well.
The song came out in 2001. It wasn't on the original version
of the J.Lo album but is included on the second release with extra
tracks, and is also on J To Tha L-O! The Remixes (2002).
10. Ja Rule- Livin' It Up feat. Case
The other rapper I like. :) Livin' It Up is from his third album Pain Is Love and was released in 2001.
Hope you like the list! What makes your Top 10? :)
P.S. I'm having some trouble with videos loading. Updating the posts seems to help but sometimes I have to refresh as well. I'm not sure if it's my computer but if the videos won't load for you, try refreshing/reloading the page. :)
