DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love
August 21, 2010 12:00 ET
After just three weeks, Usher has landed another top 10 and potential No. 1 hit with "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love." The R&B star's recent chart-topper, "OMG," reminded everyone that he's no stranger to tempo, and here he looks to Max Martin and his frequent collaborator Shellback for some extra heat on the dancefloor. Pitbull drops his usual party antics, lending an energizing verse and "Dale!" ad-libs. Though the lyrics are repetitive, they're an accurate reflection of the song's effect on the listener: "Hands up, and suddenly we all got our hands up/ No control of my body." Usher's high register fits seamlessly with dance beats, and "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" should keep clubgoers moving for months to come.—Michael Menachem

    It's a good thing the pairing of Carole King and James Taylor was an exhibition rather than a competition because her energy and enthusiasm made it no contest Tuesday night in Anaheim. He was funny and fuzzy all night, but she came to play.
