I was watching MTV when it came to
me, MTV is the reason music now sucks ass. Think about it, what
do you wanna see in a music video? Hot chicks, hot guys? You don't
wanna see some ugly person singing. When a Britney or N'Sync fan
starts talking about them, what do they say? "She so @#%$ talented!
She must have spent years in vocal training!" "They are so talented!
Not thats what I call natural talent!" No, never hear that. "SHE
IS SO HOT!" "THEY ARE SO CUTE! I LUV YOU!" Thats what you hear.
I'm not saying all good looking people don't have talent, Faith
Hill comes to mind(there are some more, but I can't hink of any.
And people think different people are attractive). In 1981, a guy
who's name I forgot, won 5 Grammy's. 5 frickin' Grammy's. Yet, didn't
get any time time on MTV. Why you ask? He wasn't good looking, he
was fat, and plain looking. But this guy had more talent then N'SYNC,
Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Backstreet Boys, and O-Town combined.
AT the same time duran duran(who have no talent) who had women in
bikinis in their videos, got lots of air time. Strange isn't it?
Now different people like different music, but this getting out
of hand. All the POP(short for popular) bands lyrics are bad. A
million dead monkeys could write better. Have you heard "Pop" by
N'SYNC? Did you know it took 2 people to write that? 2! I could
better than that while drunk. I'm sick and tired of covering bad
music with beautiful people and flashy videos. I'm not just dissing
POP bands. WTF is up with rap now? And rock and punk? And R&B? And
country? Every style of music is going bad, and I for one am sick
of it.
How is this a conspiracy you ask? People
at the record companies were not making e
nough money. And they noticed if you take beautiful
people, and make them sing. No matter how bad they were, people
would buy it. Its been going on for some time, but with videos,
it was easier to cover up the bad singing/lyrics/acting. Now why
would people buy bad music? What are most N'SYNC fans? Teenage girls.
Now in their mind, if they own all the N'SYNC stuff, they have more
of a chance to marry/date/@#%$ them. Same with Britney fans. I know
this from talking with them, and I used to be a fan..but that was
a bad time in my life.
I wanna turn on MTV and see a music video for a Jazz band at #1
on TRL, or maybe someone who sings like Aaron Neville, or Boyz II
Men, or hear some great songwriting. I realize this won't happen
till I buy MTV and make it a Jazz and R&B station...
