[Juan Carlos]

"Problem" and "Love Runs Out".

[Lahey's Lucky Star]

1.) Ariana
2.) Ready Set
-----------
3.) Rita, but by a VERY small margin.

[Az Paynter]

Ariana & Rita~

[allow that]

Just listened to that Heffron Drive song via the link provided and... "Story Of My Life" by 1D meets "As Long As You Love Me" by Bieber? And still I find myself fighting the urge to like it?

Heffron Drive and Rita Ora for me.

[Daniel Collins]

Same as Juan Carlos. "Problem" and "Love Runs Out"

Same for me. I love Big Time Rush so I enjoy hearing Kendall's voice on the Heffron Drive song.

[Flip]

ARIANA.

[dajire4]

Ariana/Iggy & OneRepublic

[surfy]

1. Problem - STILL A JAM OBV
2. Love Never Felt So Good - Really like this song, especially JT's part! Such a great song!
3. Parallel - WOW! :O Didn't expect to like this so much, but I DO! Wish we could vote for 3 tbh...
4. Na Na - Love this song, but not enough to vote for it! Anyway, gonna go bop to dis later!
5. Love Runs Out - Good song, but a really solid week this week! And this song isn't really instant with me tbh...
6. I Will Never Let You Down - Okay song, but forgettable tbh... I like it though
7. Wiggle - Growing on me (CRAP! ) But still a pile of generic crap tbh, not anywhere as good as TD was!
8. Higher - Boring...

[LBTrocks]

Love Runs Out and Parallel

Wiggle would have been my third choice.

HEFFRON. DRIVE. Yeeeesssss. I was so pleasantly surprised the first time I heard "Parallel" (I'd pre-orded it before hearing it, because I adore them so much) and it hands down is the best song on this poll. I played the crap out of it the month it was released.

I've found that I can't really handle Ariana Grande, so unfortunately no :(  She has a great voice, but it's in the style I hate (reminds me of Mariah Carey unfortunately). I am not a fan of any of these others actually. I have issues with current pop radio hits. If JT wasn't involved I'd probably go with MJ.
