The sad, sad state of music

[Deb]

One person that I feel rises above all of the current crap is Bruno Mars. He had a great SNL performance last year. His album is really, really good. He writes a ton of other stuff and I thought his Grammy performance was absolutely great. You have to go to the 2:20 mark for his main song.

Agreed! I posted this exact same clip in the Grammy thread, loooved that black and white motown number he did, kid's got some soul!

BackStreet Boys actually play their own instruments now. I never really had a problem with the boy/Girl bands but now it's more about being shocking or having some kind of whacked back story to create a publicity blitz.

Out of them all, I kinda liked them. My daughter was big into BSB so I heard their CDs blaring thru the house more times than I can count. LOL, could probably even still sing right along with I Want It That Way http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fndeDfaWCg

Some of us took the kids to see BSB when they came and surprisingly enjoyed the show..........well, besides an arena full of screaming tweenies. They actually put on a pretty good show back then. My daughter was nuts about Nick. But I actually thought that Brian kid had a good voice, AJ too.

Love the BSB and NKOTB ...they are still touring
and making new music!! Still listen, still love them!! But I understand where Matty is coming from!!

Also, saw Kid Rock the other night ...some of his stuff is sooo not for me, but I also love a lot of it!!
The guy can sing and he is an A #1 entertainer; although, his Michigan shows are far better than any other!!
He's fuckin' forty now, you know!!:wink:

That's nothin', I just saw a recent clip of MB doing a radio interview and with his new short cut/highlight, tell me EM doesn't literally look half his age? 50! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-DzWpoggOU
I don't know what's in that Bay area water??? CP looks nowhere near her age either!

Regarding KidRock, my brother just saw him recently too and said he put on a helluva show.

lol ...EM looks younger than Bob Ritchie ...I was referring to his song

He alters these lyrics ...just a tad ...
Well, I guess I’m freaking forty,
I can’t say that I am thrilled
I never dated Winona Ryder,
I probably never will.
Well I guess I’m freaking forty,
Oh, but I’m better off than some,
Well I might be freaking forty,
But you’re freaking forty-one.

Well I guess I’m freaking forty,
Now all the kids call me old man,
I need glasses and Alka Seltzer,
And a freaking prostate exam.
I guess I’m freaking forty,
But I’m better off than you!
Well I might be freaking forty,
But you’re freaking forty-two.
All right!

Well, I guess I’m freaking forty,
Well I’m a petered out Peter Pan,
And sometimes I feel foolish,
I make my living singing in this band.
I guess I’m freaking forty,
Well that’s what my momma said,
But Bruce Springsteen's freaking sixty-two
And the Stones are almost dead.

Well, I guess I’m freaking forty,
I can’t say that I am thrilled.
Well still I’m a buck wild loving cowboy,
I don’t need them little blue pills.
I guess I’m freaking forty,
But it ain’t no thing to me,
Well I might be freaking forty,
Hell I’m lying, I’m forty-three!
Ye-Hah!

LOL! That went right over my head, didn't realize it was a song.

Have really begun enjoying Kid Rock since he started leaving the whole rap thing behind.

[Don]

Just loaded up my work computer with BackStreet Boys, Nsync and 98°. Great production work.

in the vid, to be determined at a later date!!

I wonder if Beethoven and Bach had these discusions back in their day...

[Rip Rokken]

Hmmm...the 80s had it's share of comparable vapid acts....although somewhat better.

Debbie Gibson

Take her out of the list... she gets a free pass.
