Psst..
Volunteers needed! 
Anybody interested to join me for a round of Blogathon (which will be held on July 28th) this year? I’m planning to do it here.
OK, now.. Yvy had just reminded me that I was tagged by Cindy more than 2 months ago and I had yet to complete the meme. So yeah, here’s how it goes:
- Go to PopCulture.
- On the left column, pick the year you turned 18 years old.
- Get nostalgic over the songs *gulps*
- Write about the songs.
- Pass this to 5 other friends.
I was 18 in 1999..
… And the 15 chart-topping songs in 1999 were (my comments are italicized):
- I’m Your Angel by R. Kelly and Celine Dion
I just love how they sang this song.. So… Mesmerizing! I remember singing this over and again at the back of my head - Have You Ever by Brandy
Have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry..? - Baby, One More Time by Britney Spears
Aww.. This was at a time when Britney Spears was still “climbing the ladder”. She and her dance moves.. - Angel of Mine by Monica
This was one of my all-time favourites! - Believe by Cher
I don’t quite like Cher because of her techno music, like this particular song. - No Scrubs by TLC
I’ve heard this on radio, but I don’t seem to have anything to say about it.. - Livin’ La Vida Loca by Ricky Martin
Aiyoh.. This was a HOT song back then. Every now and then the radio station that I was listening to played it - If You Had My Love by Jennifer Lopez
And yeah, this was at a time when J-Lo hasn’t insured her a$$ - Bills, Bills, Bills by Destiny’s Child
Bills?! No, I don’t think I’ve heard of this.. - Wild Wild West by Will Smith
I don’t remember hearing this song on the radio! Where was I?! - Ginie in a Bottle by Christina Aguilera
Err.. I’d say that I wasn’t a fan of Christina. Not now either. - Bailamos by Enrique Iglesias
Who can forget Bailamos?! It’s still very much a hit today compared to some other songs on this list..! - Unpretty by TLC
The first time I heard this on the radio, I thought the song title was “I’m Pretty”. And I was like, “OK, I’m pretty.” - Heartbreaker by Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey is one of my all-time favourite. I particularly love her “All I Want For Christmas Is You” album.. - Smooth by Santana
Err.. Another “I-don’t-remember-listening-to” song.
I remember I started listening to the radio when … Waitaminute, I think I blogged about it before. Here it is. And well, I’m not going to tag anybody. But feel free to pick it up if/when you have what they call “writer’s block”
If you think this post might benefit other bloggers:
You were in F6 when you were 18. Haha! I don’t remember you singing songs, but definitely remember you listening to them - Mix FM. Haha!
Pelf, you are sinful… for not remember the Santana and Rob Thomas song at 15, Smooth.
Guess it’s not a ‘girl’ song huh…
Mei Mei: Ei, short term memory loss arr?
soufulow: Sinful?! Pelf is sinful?! *sobs*
You turned 18 the year after me. You got a lot better musical choice though than when I did this meme a few months ago.
1, 10 and 11. Yes, I am a little jiwang by nature…LOL
LOL Bailamos! I used to love that song too!
Ami-chan: I got better musical choice? But I’ve never heard of some of them!
Gallivanter: Well, I’ll just say that we’ve got different tastes in music!
cindy: Who doesn’t love that upbeat song?
La vida Loca! Smooth! All the best (or rather, hottest) songs of 1999. Hehe. I was rocking in Bintulu then.
Bernard: “Rocking in Bintulu” means..??
