What with the beginning of American Idol this week, and an ever more disturbing trend of pre-adolescence choosing what is cool in our culture, I figured I would let my son's current taste influence all of you. Here's his current top 3.
3. Supernova - Up and Down (From Yo Gabba Gabba)
This has been in the top five since his top 3 was just a top 1. But it is slowly fading to make room for other favorites. I swear it is why he can out-jump his buddies at school.
2. Beyonce - Single Ladies
Actually, the song is less important to him thant the video. He gets a coy little smile when the background starts to light up and you can see Beyonce and her girls shifting their hands around. The kid has taste.
1. Kanye West - Love Lock Down
I think he originally liked this one because of the drums during the chorus. But the song has captured enough from him that he asks for it 5-6 times a day. He even can sing the first verse. He's not completely accurate, but it's still impressive. He especially likes to get to the chorus and yell "Lo-loc down. LO-LOC down. LOOOOOOOSSSSE."

For her part, Paige prefers "Paranoid" to "Love Lockdown," although she refers to it as "Baby" (which is confusing since "I want Baby" usually means her favorite stuffed animal...or a doll...or...). #1 for her right now, though, is Girl Talk's "Hands in the Air."
