Best of 2008?

12/17/2008 2:01 PM
by Jami

New Years is just around the corner, and with it a brand new year. Before we say goodbye to 2008 I wanted to take a chance to celebrate the year, and hear from you, what you think are the best things of 2008.

Acording to iTunes I kissed a girl by Katy Perry was the best song. Followed by Low and Viva La Vida.

Dark Knight was the highest grossing film of the year

Wii Fit is said to be the top selling video game of 2008, but that doesn't include any holiday sales.

Do you agree that these are the "best" of 2008? What was your favorite song, movie, video game or other entertainment of the year?

"LOW"!!! That sleazeball rap song?!

Anyway my picks (for music) -

Leona Lewis and Kanye West had good years (but not the greatest album for LL)- with "Better in Time" and "Love Lockdown" being two of my picks for best song. Viva la Vida was a good song from a mediocre band, but Pink really redeemed with "So What". I would choose Estelle's album Shine and single "American Boy" for the unrecognized, but very deserving, 'best' spot.

Those are definetly some of the worst songs i have ever heard. Except for Leona Lewis and Viva la Vida which both deserve spots in the top five.

I am not a music person and so have not heard of Low or Viva la Vida but I don't like Katy Perry. I think her songs are stupid and her she can't sing very well.
Don't hate me for it, that's just my opinion.
I loved Miley Cyrus' 7 Things and her remake of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.
For movies I would have to say Twilight. I absolutely loved it but it was not as good as the books which were awesome.
For video games I'm undecided. I love Mario Kart Wii and there are a few DS games that are really fun but I'm not sure if they just came out or not. I don't think most of them did.

I like music also but not that kind, I like The Newsboys: In the belly of the whale. I don't have a Wii but I do have a GameQube and I liked Mario Cart Double Dash. My Fave movies of the year were all 3 of the Pirates of the Carribean movies.
