Biggest surprise of 2006? [songs]

[Mad_Cactuar]

Come on, blurt it out! Which songs shocked you when you heard it this year? Doesn't matter if it was good or bad, just state them here!

Fergie, London Bridge
This one was really scary, I sincerely thought she would have taken the proper pop princess route with power ballads and rousing choruses. Not "My London, London, London, wanna go down" or anything of that standard. In spite of that, it's still refreshingly good! But got sick of it eventually. Horrible music video too.

Paris, Nothing In This World
This is so good I want the album now. I don't care if the album is horrible, this song is so awesome. I've put it on loop and I'm listening to it for the 7th time today as I'm writing this. Apprehensive like everyone else, I was kind of getting myself ready to avoid Paris Hilton's music. Stars Are Blind wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. Surprising. And now this. Brilliant song, I love this so much. The music video made me love it more, somewhat touching considering Hilton's status.

Justin Timberlake, SexyBack
I hate this guy so much because of all his old songs. I really, really hate his old stuff from the Justified album. I avoided listening to SexyBack pretty well until I let my guard down and my friend sent me the song. Pure genius. I love his new stuff. I never expected him to reinvent himself and become something so good.

Nelly Furtado, Loose
Been a fan since the old days, what do you expect. Perhaps even more surprising would be the fact that all her new songs are excellent despite the change in direction and style. More reason to love her, I hope she stays this way or better, reinvent more.

Seems like 2006 is the year of re-inventions and changes..
