I agree wholeheartedly. You won't find me touting about hating artists that go mainstream or disliking artists that go from indie labels to big-dog labels. I think that's a little stupid. But, I think that there are many artists out there that are just all ass-shaking and just flat-out terrible lyrics.

When I listen to an artist or a band - I want to listen to the song, not pay attention to how many times you can bounce your booty or how slutty you can dress, personally.

And Taylor Swift isn't just overrated, she comes off as excessively whiny. All of her songs are the same, and they're all whining about the same damned things. She was 15 when she started singing about life-changing heartbreak and sorrow and such. FIFTEEN. What the hell does a 15 year old girl know about real heartbreak and real lost love? I'll tell you what. NOTHING.

Ahem. Yeah. >.>

It's also pretty bad writing. In the songs she seeks out a knight in shining armor type guy, but always describes the guy she's dating in the songs as being a redneck type. Let's be honest here. She also claims to be pure, but yet her songs describe a lot of sneaking around behind parent's backs. If you aren't fooling around, then why must you sneak? Parents don't dislike honorable men with pure intentions. So what the fuck are you doing? She's writing about shit she's never experienced is the only conclusion I can draw. The girls in the songs never take responsibility in relationships either. It's always the guy broke her heart or he ruined everything. Of course he is Taylor. You have fucking unrealistic expectations for men considering that you've never been intimate with one.

Men want to have sex with you. That doesn't make them less worth your time. She makes references to things she doesn't even understand. That's not honest. That's stupid, and she sucks at live performances. I could do better and I'm not famous.

You appear to have given this some thought .......... ;)
 
I'm the last person to weigh in on Taylor Swift or Lady Gaga...I don't like either but I don't hate either of them either.

But hey what do I know about music I'm the one man in the world in the past forty years or so that thinks the beatles are severely overrated.

Yes, yes, horrible troll I am not to understand the beatles' musical godhood. I know. I know. I listen to them and go...meh, why are these guys the greatest band ever again? I just don't get it.

Well theres 6 years of choral training to back that shit up sir. I know when someone can't sing and I know when someone is writing about something they don't understand. Ever see virgin 12 year olds trying to write sex fanfiction? It's pretty much the same concept.

Hell the song stories are every Mary sue story ever. Pretty perfect girl that is supposedly unpopular yearns after some guy she believes is perfect in every way. However there will be no explanation for why she is unliked, no character flaws, and no responsibility for actions when things go wrong.

Portrayal of perfection incarnate is not interesting. Where the hell are my flawed tortured artists that give blood sweat and tears to their craft?

She may be cute, but she's the anti-Susan Boyle.

I just have a problem with rewarding mediocrity.

Thankfully I'm somewhat less than mediocre, complete with it's own hidden rewards .........
I do know what you mean though, just not qualified in this field to comment.

Whining a little. >.< I've got this dry, hacking cough that I haven't been able to shake for the better part of a week, and it's making me a wee bit whiny. Yuck.
 
...drinking tea, amusing the little one, trying to figure out if I have time to see to some posts before the time arrives to start cooking the evening meal...
 
Watching a movie with my girl. Trying to conceal the face of the lappy is interesting to say the least.
