** The song "Store" with its hilarious lyrics.



* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: While ''Kiss'' is decent, it's pretty obvious the album was rushed to capitalize on the success of "Call Me Maybe". On ''E•MO•TION'', there is much more detail to its songs and lack of any AlbumFiller, and the catchy numbers are even more catchier and awesome than before.
