Unreleased Songs: A Virtual Goldmine?

For the last couple of days, Ive been wondering just what i should write about on WNHFT that could be considered an 'original article' and not a 'news report'. For days i sat around like a flop ass hoe trying to think what i could talk about when it suddenly hit me like a ton of Bricks, the relatively controversial topic of unreleased/leaked songs by everyone's favourite artists, flops and basic bitches!

It didn't take long to narrow the list down into a small little selection of some of the best unreleased songs available due to various different means (hackers, promo discs, old & scarce EPs etc.). For this article, imma discuss 5 songs by 5 different artists - some of whom i love, others... ehh... - to try and showcase what a wonderful place the Internet can be (when not being came onto by dirty old men, having your personal details stolen or being dragged to the depths of hell by an angry, PMS'y stan). Here we go now y'all. Enjoy!

Lady GaGa - Wonderful

GaGa's first 'single' while called Lady GaGa, this piano ballad is one of GaGas better songs, and i sill am not quite sure why it never made the cut. While not an official single, the song charted high on a few radio airplay charts and remains a firm fan favourite. An excellent example that somewhere along the line, a great song will remain on the cutting room floor for other, less FUCKING AMAZING songs...

Katy Perry - Part of Me

A leftover from 'Teenage Dream', the song has the same basic tune/melody as that from the actual album but never made the cut as to avoid making songs on the album 'sound the same' (well done Katy *rolls eyes*). This track is easily at least 10 times better than half of the crap on the final version of 'Teenage Dream' and rumor has it that it will feature on the upcoming re-release of said Album. Fingers crossed...

Ke$ha - Bootycall

Presumably written as part of the 'Animal' sessions somewhere between 2008-2010, this is one of the few Ke$ha songs i can still listen to without wanting to ram a pair of scissors into my ears with the fury of Xtina looking at her first week sales. A simple, basic ass pop ditty, but still a fun party song with some pretty hilarious lyric. Chances are this will NOT be features on any upcoming release, but still, its a good wee listen...

LIGHTS - Perfect

Written for some flop ass television show as opposed to her debut album 'The Listening', "Perfect" is a piano pop song about how the hoe ain't perfect, but hey, no one is. While her debut album is pretty flawless as it is, i honestly can't say i want it on a re-release or some shit, and chances are it wont be on her highly anticipated second album, but still, it remains one of my favourite LIGHTS songs to this day. A fab wee hidden gem...

Mini Viva - I'm Hooked

Ahh Mini Viva... how i miss thee. After being dropped when their third single "One Touch" flopped harder than the new Ciara CD singing the hits of Xtina and Keri Hilson, Mini Vivas album was indefinetly postponed and the songs recorded remain locked up in Xenomia's little vault waiting for another artist to come butcher them. "I'm Hooked" is one of the better tracks that was leaked via the means of a promo disc and perfectly sums up just why Mini Viva being dropped was a pop travesty.

And there we have it folks, a small yet definitive list of the of the best unreleased tracks on the net. I ain't supplying download links because that would get this blog taken down quicker than i would driving in front of Brandy down the freeway, but none the less. Listen to the tracks above and leave yo comments below telling us what you think of them!
