Youtubing that, actually.

Teenage Dream and Firework, actually. The chick can sing.

'Peacock'?

Oh god. That song is awful.

She needs someone else to write her songs, though.
Well, some of them. I can't deny a couple are fucking catchy.
But I may, in fact, be dumber after listening to Peacock.

A lot of artists would be better with different writers.

I agree. Beyond that, however, when you're in the 'pop' industry of music - it's not often that the artists get a wide range of choice on what they do or do not sing. That's up to the label and the folks that run the label.

That debate aside - Teenage Dream and Firework have been shuffling their way through my iPod for the better part of the past few weeks.

I gotta get me some Lady Gaga

Let's listen together.

I gotta get me some Lady Gaga

While not an overly large fan of Lady Gaga's music - I've been guilty of listening to a song or two (or three) once or twice (or maybe more - I'll never tell!)

Anywho, my absolute favorite is probably Paparazzi. Last month I watched this show on television - The Sing-Off. It's a handful or two of really talented folks singing acapella (and I'm sure I butchered the way that's spelled.) Anywho, one of the male groups did a fantastic rendition of Bad Romance.

But more importantly, they did a 'medley week' and one of the groups (I cannot recall what they were called) did Lady Gaga. The way sped up Poker Face. They did a general version of Just Dance. And they did one of the BEST versions of Paparazzi that I've ever heard. It was slow and mesmerizing.

.....I might have also watched a Youtube video of 30 Seconds to Mars doing Bad Romance acoustically. Bloody brilliant performance and totally worth the few minutes of my time.

Let's listen together.

Any time, LI. Any time.

I'm sitting here, beginning to wonder if I should be worried.

"We need to talk soon" is usually code for something undesirable. Something like "We've got a serious problem" or "I have to stop seeing you" or "It's not you, it's me" or something else ridiculously unhappy.

oh I hate that.
I never like to hear "We need to talk".
Ever.
A few years ago my boss came and said "We need to talk" and I guess she saw the "oh fuck" look on my face and immediately said "Oh, I am SO sorry, you are NOT in trouble"

I find that the number of times it's been said to me that have been good are far outweighed by the number of times it's been used to start off an unwanted, and unhappy conversation.

On the other hand, I despise any time I seem to be sounding like a whiny, pathetic little girl. Which is not what I was going for in the previous post.

However, I've been told that though I am neither whiny nor pathetic - I can be quite impatient from time to time. This might be one of those times.

Maybe.

Well, I didn't think you sounded whiney.

I think she's rather odd, but damn do her songs get stuck in my head. Next thing I know I'm in the shower singing...

I want your ugly I want your disease
I want your everything
As long as it’s free
I want your love
Love-love-love
I want your love

Damn it!!

 

[APassionateFlame]

I appreciate it. I wasn't trying to insinuate that you'd implicated that I sounded whiny.

Simply, I reread my post and felt that, to me, it came across as perhaps a little whiny. Or even self-serving. My opinion, not yours. ^_^

I didn't want to love her, but I was left with little choice.

Also, Paparazzi is an incredible video.

Some people may hate me for this, but some artists are merely a product of looks and having the right team. A good writing team can't save lack of talent or stage presence.

I'm talking about you Taylor Swift. Most over rated artist of the year.

She is rather odd, and her fashion sense (in my humble opinion) is often far more than just questionable. However, her tunes and her beats are ridiculously catchy. And I can most often be found singing ...

I want your love, and I want your revenge.
I want your love, I don't wanna be friends.
J'ai ton amour et je veux ton revenge
J'ai ton amour, I don't wanna be friends.

French is a guilty pleasure of mine. ^_^

Paparazzi is my favorite song by her. I like when it's ridiculously slowed down and turned into a more sensual sounding song, too.

I like the bilingual rhyming

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. >.>

If she was one notch less adorable...

Aaaannnd....now we celebrate because it no longer says that I'm a 'Virgin' beneath my name. :-D

She's always been ridiculously adorable.

I love Taylor Swift's music. Without shame.
