YOUR Favorite Song of the Year

I think it's no secret to any of us that the people who read PRN, and who comment on my reviews, are very outspoken, and have a lot to say about music. That often leads of debates and heated discussions on the blog, which I generally welcome. Well, I'm taking advantage of that this year, because I'm asking YOU guys to choose YOUR favorite songs of 2011.

One of my "missions" on PRN is to encourage other music fans to think critically about the music they listen to, regardless of genre or style - I'm not the only one who does the thinking here, you guys should too. And so, while I'm coming up with a list of my 50 favorite songs from the year, I think you guys should too. Well, not fifty songs, but close!

So here's what to do. Choose your favorite Korean (language, nationality, etc.) release of the year, adhering to majority of the rules of my top 50 countdown (apart from the rules about multiple releases). In 3-5 sentences explain why it's your favorite song of the year, but make it as packed and as complete as possible. Why do you like it? What do you like? What DON'T you like? Please keep in mind that you have to justify your opinion in a musical manner -- melody, arrangement, style, etc. You may also discuss it from the standpoints of why it became a hit (if it was) or why it flopped (if it did), as long as you can justify your opinion.

Once you have your 3-5 sentences, either comment on this post with your review, or send it in to popreviewsnow@gmail.com with the subject "My Favorite Song of 2011". Please include your name (no anonymous comments please!) and a way I can contact you, preferably an e-mail address or a Twitter username.

You have until Christmas day, December 25, to send in your entries! I'll choose the top five entries and post them up on December 31, after revealing my favorite song of the year.

Go go go! ^_^
