R.I.P music

lol so who laughs in the end? I would be glad to allow everyone in the world to laugh at me for the month that this song will be in circulation if that means a few million people buy the track. I'll bet she (or most likely her parents) will make a million off the song. I could live with that. People will buy the track so they can laugh for maybe another month beyond that but then lady gaga will wear something weird, katy perry will get some rapper do a verse on a track, or Ke$ha will continue to be drunk, and everyone's attention is shifted and nobody will remember a thing about this song. That's the beauty of novelty--it has a very short attention span. This is disposable pop music, just like Beiber, just like Ke$ha, just like the people all through the 50s-80s who had a hit or two with names we don't remember.

I only wish I could break into that industry--put together a cheesy pop song, make a million or two and disappear. I'd love to profit off people laughing at me for looking like an idiot--i seem to excel at it doing it for free!

Hey, don't get me wrong, if I could churn out some awful pop song and generate millions off of pure hatred and sarcasm I would do it in a heartbeat! Something tells me that most of the money is going to Arc Music Factory and not Rebecca though, I just get that kinda vibe from the situation. Thatgirlinpink is really milking this thing though, she deserves a high five, lol.

The minute I heard Friday I couldn't stop thinking of a Baby mashup. It kept running through my head! Not lying, I'm looking forward to a decent mashup of the two. This one was pretty cool but I'm waiting for a mashup of the two actual songs:

I would agree this is not the end of music. For every dud that makes the spotlight there are millions of unsung heroes. I posted this earlier with one reply but I think is kid is the perfect antidote to Miss Black.

Sorry, but I turned that off after like 45 seconds. Sounds like generic guitar wanking jazz/blues. It's impressive he's got chops like that @ his age, sure, but other than that, meh.

I actually dont understand the great anger from alot of ppl, esp. about her lyrics. The girl is 13. Shes not gonna sing about her feelings hurt in a blues club or getting left at the altar. I dont think grown 30 something and up males are who this is targeted to as well. Everything that comes out is not gonna be Weather Report or Miles. I dont care for the song, but I'd rather my daughter sing something like this thats harmless than "Put it in Your Mouth". *kanyeshrugs*

Gotta quote this to give props for the ODB reference.

This is seriously a weak thread - SXSW ended on Sunday and it was another totally insane display of the most aggressive, imaginable, inspirational, and riveting musical acts to join in one city. Common guy's, get off your couches and put down the laptop long enough to be part of something influential.

UTube will continue to launch the careers of little kids singing bubble gum. Everyone "wants" their kid to be the next JB or MC. Why not, they made their families millions. But on the other hand, Music is far from dead if you caught any part of SXSW. Rock -ON.

The Kills - one reason music isn't dead.

That is a fantastic point! As much as I dislike the vulgarity and stupidity in modern music I wish I had thought of it, lol. Don't get me wrong I like my porn as much as the next guy but today's music reaches kid of all ages and gives them the wrong ideas about damn near everything.

Wow, 8 pages and no one has mentioned how folks are up in arms because of the so-called cyber-bullying resulting from this video. Where is your sense of feel-goodery, TBOT?

Let's fast forward to when Ms. Black is in her late 30s, is fat and frumpy-looking, waiting in line at the Post Office with several ill-behaved children in tow. She steps up to the counter, and the clerk recognizes her name, and starts singing this monstrosity back at her.

"FRIDAY! FRIDAY! FRIDAY! FRIDAY!" like the klaxon alarm on a WWII submarine.

Imagine her shame then...

LOL! A fair point but if I worried about the cyber bullying she's encountering, I would have to defend Justin Beiber, The Jonas Brothers and a whole host of other young music acts that I just don't care about. I've got nothing against them, I'm just not prepared to do that :D.

I haven't met a single person on this planet that doesn't enjoy complaining about something and/or making fun of something :p.

I am thoroughly disappointed in myself for not being able to go to the Big 4 Concert (Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth & Anthrax...:bawl::bawl::bawl::bawl::bawl::bawl:) for its one show here in the US, taking place here in California.

But such is life....

Now excuse me I have packing and crying to do:atoz:
