"Turn My Swag On"

     The song, "Turn My Swag On" is one of my favorites. It is Hip Hop, Snap, and Crunk&B, which is a mix of crunk music and R&B. It is from his third album "SouljaBoy Tellem" and was released on January 26, 2009. The song charted #19 on the US Rap Charts Hot 100 and sold over 1,000,000 digital downloads in the U.S. so far. The original version ft. just Soulja Boy. Then there's an official remix which ft. Soulja Boy and Lil Wayne. There are also a lot of unofficial remixes ou there. There remixes are from artists like, R. Kelly, Yung L.A., Jim Jones, Jadakiss, Rochelle Perts, Maino, Fabolous, Young Jeezy, Chingo Bling, Gucci Mane, Busta Rhymes, Keri Hilson, Teairra Mari, Tyga and Chamillionaire. I particularilly love the version from Keri Hilson.
     Keri Hilson's version was actually covered by Cher Lloyd on the X Factor in the UK. She auditioned and preformed during the seventh season along with 1D or One Direction. Keri Hilson has another remix that features Lil Kim and Teyana Taylor. This version has a different autotune and the lyrics are also partly different. I personally just love Cher's cover which is the original remix with only Keri Hilson. Cher has a higher pitch and is not as soulful as Keri. She also has a bit more attitude and edge to he voice which I feel is better for the song.

     As a little extra I decided to add this video on when Cher got eliminated from the X Factor. It shows her journey through it all and something I just believe is a fun little thing to watch. The link for the video is here, "http://www.youtube.com/embed/tAkP3TmxWNU".
