No no Raven, if anything this has taught me that change is bad.
Crew cut, Black-framed rectangular glasses, no tattoos or piercings or jewelry of any kind, white t-shirt, jeans and sandals.
Every. Day.
Can't mess with perfection.
that pissed me off because she -changed it AND -changed it in a way that is directly insulting to the entire point of the song
I get hating on that type of thing.
that's ok.
they are just singing songs on a television show, in a voting format where they're awarded almost exclusively for being quirky or powerful. it's not like they're being judged on a whole album and their artistic direction.
like this is kind of oversung and the power drowns out everything else during the crescendo
but hitting that note is what gets people to turn their chairs or gets america to vote for you
i'm sure they will put more thought into- and more closely connect with- their original albums, if they ever make it that far as musicians.
So do I. That's why I want to see more of it get made. American Idol seems more prone to actively working against this goal.
Also, our crazy copyright laws.
would that even turn your head? would that actually bother you if a person said they were doing that?
they aren't pretending to have created anything
my xbox wouldn't turn on
i think i almost had a panic attack
and I dont think most of the people oh these shows should be coming at the king
Well, it's okay.
I sat in boot camp thinking "I can't believe I actually miss that shitty city"
this is not really accurate dogg
i imagine that bish got famous from being jessica simpson's sister
the voice is invite-only and a lot of those people are semi-professional singers already, they're almost all at least quite good with some being awesome
you hatin ass muhfucker
ah okay this I get
I think I misunderstood what bothered you about it
Pop music isn't going to stop good music from being made.
And imitating better artists has been a thing since the first caveman stole a mother-in-law joke.
Remember to paint the man before cutting the lines next time when making sacrificial offerings to the cheap Chinese disk reader.
That article came off as Old Man Being Angry to be honest.
We will always have those old songs, they don't need to be redone in the same way. If they sound good, if they evoke a reaction regardless of whether it's the one the original artist intended, it's all good.

Then stole the mother in law afterwards.
man if i were even a little bit of a good singer and i managed to get on television to sing i would jump right into the most ambitious, diva shit ever. i don't care. gimme them big notes, gimme that cultural recognition. fuck y'all pay me.
I am being all curmudgeonly and I dont wanna
but like, I dunno if usher could do a good version of lets stay together that I wouldnt hear and be like shit usher, rather hear al do it
and usher stomps all the contestants
so I mean, you can reach for the stars and shit but I'd rather hear you succeed at something more modest than take on this iconic shit that's too big for you I guess is what i feel
I stopped wearing a watch. Not just for work, either.
It's weird. Sometimes I'm wearing so few things, it's amazing.
Although I currently have an elastic around my wrist. It still feels a little naked sometimes.
particular pop acts, sure
but terrible music is gonna keep on truckin' no matter what
because everyone has terrible taste
man i think plenty of the contestants that go through that show are better singers than usher
You need to produce vivid, raw vocal pornography. You need to give them an aggressive, showy earjob. That's just the only practical course. spectacle.
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED
Patti Smith?
you cray
in those little training clips you can hear the contestants all straining to do some part of the song
and usher is just like oh let me bust you in your ear hole this is how it should go
have you ever heard of 'caroline and jackie'
Except me (you).
At least I broke 300 this time. >_>
Where were you
you can peep these while i peep those
dub dub dub dub dub
whole EP is free, just look around, that's just a link to the whole thing condensed into one soundcloud

This is why I watch PBS instead. Live from the Artists Den and Sound Stage are pretty good.
BABY SUCK MAH DIIII-EEEE-IIIII-EEEEHHHH-UUUUUHHHHH-EEEHHH-EH-EH-EH-UH-IIIIIIIIIIICK
i don't buy it, they all have criticisms. it's just a way to fill a segment. just like you have to hear how everyone lost a loved one or is trying to do better for their child or make their parents proud and there are always tears. it's television.
another one- the lead singer for the script. in the voice uk, during the group performance he was very clearly the weakest member of the team on stage.
Aw yeah checkin
the best way to not get mad is to wholeheartedly enjoy it
I genuinely enjoy Katy Perry and Kesha and I will never stop admitting it
it's just loving life
we are talking more about the voice. i don't watch american idol because i don't like the pageantry of making fun of the bad singers, some of whom are obviously mentally ill. the voice is invitation only and there are no obviously terrible people, every person who shows up on screen is at least a decent amateur with some being very gifted and semi-professional already.
