'90210' features many different artists every week, from multiple genres. Most of the artists featured on the show are on the brink of fame and waiting for recognition, and I love shows that support underrated artists, such as 'Gossip Girl' and 'The OC'. However, although '90210' is insistent on featuring different artists, I can't help but notice that these artists aren't getting the same recognition on this show as they would on any other. Although the songs are great, they don't seem to quite fit. Either the dialogue is overriding the music or the song doesn't bring across the emotion the writers want you to feel, and if they want to promote their actors' music, perhaps they should be taking notes from shows such as 'One Tree Hill'. I also love Ron Pope, but his song 'October Trees' just didn't fit in the ending montage. I think that if they had chosen a song which suited the dialogue and the situation more appropriately, and if the song didn't have a varying pace, it could have been much better. I believe that a powerful song like this works much better in an ending montage when there's as little dialogue as possible. When 'The Vampire Diaries' featured 'Ron Pope - A Drop in the Ocean', it became a massive hit, all because they managed to find the perfect moment to play it at, to really trigger emotion. '90210' has so much potential when it comes to music, it really does, but this week I felt certain songs were misplaced and drowned out.
