BOY BANDS! ugh

also all the carbon-copy, model type, teeniebopper girl singers & girl groups who can't sing, write music, play anything, etc. where all they *can* do is dress up in skanky outfits and jiggle around while they twitter out some lame, cliched lyrics. vapid, meaningless, soulless DRIVEL. i am SO SICK of it.

and i'm not into rap though i acknowledge its relevence and importance to music so take my opinion for what it's worth, but i'm getting tired of the same rap/R&B stuff shoved down my throat everywhere. it all sounds the SAME to me. and what's with these rap people who are ALL IN EACH OTHER'S VIDEOS and stuff? on the VMAs last night when they were showing the nominees for the best rap video or whatever, it seemed like *all the same people* were in each other videos and on each other's songs??? why is that??? and i have to say all that posing and affectation and attitude gets old after awhile.

radio and MTV nowadays is pretty much empty, IMO.

it makes me think of these lyrics from The Smiths 'Panic':
"Burn down the disco
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music that they constantly play
It says nothing to me about my life
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music they constantly play.."

jimi didn't write "all along the watchtower"... that was bob dylan...


anyway, i think i'm sick and tired of virtually every single popular artist... anyone on the mtv countdown, the vh1 countdowns, the radio stations... i'm sick of it all.. not enough variety... it gets to the point where i stop liking songs that i do like just because i hear them too damn much... it must be the work of satan

I can't help but laugh at you and it's going against everything I believe in!

Oh and I am thoroughly tired on Alicia Knees, excuse me Keys, Ashanti, all the boy bands, Beyonce and her cohorts, Britney Smears and anything pop! There I said it and added a couple years to my life span.

paisley2002 said:

Agreed!

I'm sick of P. Diddy and anything he's connected with.

Actually let me include 95% of the crap acts out there today. When did we remove the "talent" category from the requirements to be an artist.

Maybe it's my age showing, but it seems that all forms of popular music, from pop to rap, have gotten really bad lately.

I mean anyone else remember the 80s, before MTV became the annoying thing is is, when you actually had to have some talent else you went by the wayside.

***Alicia Keyes---Don't get me wrong,I think she is really talented and will do great things in her career.But did she REALLY deserve 5 Grammys for a CD with only *ONE* real hit single? I just don't think she has really proven herself as an artist,but yet they hype her up like she is the next Aretha Franklin or something.


***Ashanti---Again,the same problem.Ashanti is beautiful and all,but why did Soul Train give her that Aretha Franklin Achievement Award?! She's only done *ONE* CD with one real hit on it!! Nowadays,they don't even allow an artist to prove themself.They have one great year and already,they're winning multiple Grammys and other Awards.Ashanti is a weak vocalist and her CD doesn't even have any original music on it.


***Lenny Kravitz---By criticizing him,I'm really going out on a limb here,because I know that many of you like him...lol...but I just find his music incredibly bland and not very original.His rock star posturing is also annoying.Don't get me wrong,I think he HAS talent,it's just that,so far,I haven't heard anything groundbreaking or unique from him.

Aaaa man you ain't right, they're cool peeps. Altho They're not the type who mke me rush to the store and buy their records. K, here's my list:

Slim Shitty-TRUTH HURTS ppl, the fact tht nobody want to mention or believe is he made it thro cuz he's WHITE,,,Thats it, end of the story CASE CLOSED. Kid yo self all you want, still won't chnge that fact. If a brotha ryhmed the way Em does, write the same lyrics Em does he STILL won't breakthrough like Slim. Take a listen at Common/The roots/Wu Tang who instead of whining about their personal lives and cleaning up their closets , they put the lights on whats happining in the streets/hoods/inner citys everyday that ppl don't know ya heard? A REAL LIFE ISSUES, now why I don't see 'em in that damn TV?? I'ma leave that to you. The funny thing is, he brag about oh how he's so CONTROVERSIAL pfff I tell you what Slim, why don't you take a listen at Prince's music so you can experience the REAL controversy. Bitching, bitching, bitching Whheeooo I feel so sad 4 his kid. Wonder how feels??

Ja Rule/Ashanti and that Fat FUCK-Do you know Slim Shady? Well, Irv is the black fat fuck version of Em.

Shitney(Gwad, I can't stand this woman), Christina(fucking Mariah wannabe) and all them non-singing white barbie dolls who act like they don changed the game. How could I 4get J.LOW??

I'm sick of every rapper present and future. And I'm not a red neck. Seriously, most rap sux these days. Too many rappers and not enuff talent to go around. It's like all those heavy metal bands of the 80s

And man there's almost nothing worse than a prefectly good song (usually SUNG by a woman who can sing) being screwed up by a duet with a rapper who couldn't sing if his life depended on it.

I'm sure I'll think of more

I'm pretty much sick of everyone who was on the VMAs last night. Weren't these same songs nominated last year? Okay I admit I'm not sick of Linkin Park yet. But here's who I'm really sick of:

Eminem: Okay, liked his single "Without Me" but that's it. I just like the groove and how he raps, but I intentionally don't listen to the lyrics because I'm sick of him using "shock" to get over. He's like a $5 media ho. He'll just keep going and and going to the edge until he gets rifuckindiculous. He ain't the only guy who's had a messed up life and he won't be the last - and if his music is his therapy, I certainly ain't paying him to be his friggin' therapist.

Pink: I like the groove "get the party started" and she's a great singer, but her image is annoying. Her toughness is so phoney and it's like major overkill. 'Nuff already.

Ja Rule: Sit down, boy! So lame I'm surprised they don't put a couch up there on stage so everyone could recline while they're singing.

P-Diddy: Stick to clothing.

NSync: There's only so many variations of the same song producers can write. (Yawn)

Britney: Thank you for taking a break from music. We all thank you. Take as much time as you need - forever if you wish.

Shakira: Isn't it time for a new album? Also, there are many more interesting moves in belly dancing than that.

Avril Lavigne: I can tell I'm gonna be sick of her. Someone's pumping big money behind her and hopefully it's just money. Also, isn't there enough jailbait in music. How about someone that can stay out past 10 o'clock.

Vanessa Carlton (not the goody girl that most would think)

and from the dead entertainer file: Elvis (every time when August rolls around it's all about him, get over it!)

wow,that felt good!

Lets make this simple..

MTV! Music Insiders

Mtv for slamming "POP Music" down our throats.. even though it has been DONE/OVER since 2000.

yeah I know making all that money on "Merchindise" gets you greedy.. but NO one likes this crap!

* They are trying sooo hard for us to NEVER have another "grudge take over" like in 1991..

What they are doing is whenever there is a Great or Good new band.. THEY FLOOD the market with 10 rip off bands .. so we get sick of it...

so NO one music will take over.

MTV is sooo over! The dumb shows, the aweful $4 million dollar videos from acts that sing live.

Is there a R & B Market anymore? I mean come on EVERY video and act looks the same. EVERY "BET Video" looks the same.. In R & B and Rap on that station

Pound,Pound Man&all 3 IMHO have a Strange Unique thing in Common they all seem like Cover Artists or have made there mark at Being at best Re-cycle Acts overall IMHO.Keys jacked James Brown's "It's a Mans World" for Fallen.Ashanti is the female Puffy on the R&B lite tip of Sampling IMHO.Lenny Kravitz is a Poser overall&takes Elements from everywhere&underneath the pile He is Burried.I have most of His stuff on tape&Maybe a disc or two but pretty much have stopped even walking in that direction of my music collection in the House to listen to anything He does.

Without prejudice, there is one artist [?] that I would particularly like to disappear from my radar...

P. Diddy: "Yeah", Uh-huh", "Bad boy" "C'mon" - And that's a rap! Taken out of context those words form an entirely different connotation...


Other notables who immediately come to mind include:

* Ashanti
* Ja Rule
* Justin Timberlake
* Sisquo

P.Diddy seems to be the winner of this thread
& I'm down with that !
I thought Britney would come first though

What does this "Puffy" guy actually DO, anyway? I saw one of his videos to one of his "songs" and it was him posing in the corner while OTHER PEOPLE rapped and sang... Some say he's a "producer..." OK, but how much credit does a guy who turns knobs and gets other people to do things get?
