Pitbull & NeYo - Time of Our Lives

Music is often a contentious topic to blog about, differing opinions means that some people absolutely adore a certain song whilst others cannot stand it. With the development of Web 2.0 many artists receive comments about their work, whether it be on twitter, blogs or YouTube comments, these comments illustrate how different people view certain songs. Pitbull is one of the more talked about artists on social media, mainly on the satirical side illustrated by an array of Memes including; 


His most recent song with NeYo, is once again testament to his popularity in the market, for some unknown reason he is a tangible, marketable asset for his record label and this song has been very successful. It is repeatedly played on mainstream media and will continue to be for weeks, hopefully not months.  The song itself is a typical Pitbull song, his shrill voice takes attention away from an actually talented artist like NeYo and focuses the song on himself. Although he has been listening to his critics, he simply cannot resist throwing in some Spanish lyrics to show 'where he came from.' This song will continue to garner mainstream media attention even though it has the same tempo, beat and general lyrical themes that 90% of pop songs exhibit.
