While we're on the music topic, I realized a few months ago that I hadn't watched a music video in a really long time, something I attributed to getting old and having different interests. However, after watching about 30 min of videos with my brother, I'm concluded that it's just that music sucks right now. A random sampling of lyrics from those 30 min:
Meet me at the mall...meet me at the club
Take a picture for tha camera phone
Great googly moogly, that thing is juicy.
I could write these songs in my sleep. The lyrics"from songs 40 years ago weren't winning any Pulitzer Prizes, but at least "My Girl" made some sense and had a tune.
Even the old standbys aren't producing anything worthwhile. I swear there's payola involved in the heavy rotation of the new Beyonce and Christina, because people can't actually be enjoying and wanting to hear those songs. The jury's still out on JT's new song. I think I like the beat, but I'm disappointed in his failure to provide natural vocals at any point in the song.

The success of the Black Eyed Peas and Fergie especially is just shocking to me. The awfulness of that song is inconceivable. Interestingly, I heard it twice that night and haven't heard a thing about it since.
JT only does drugs at home so it's ok. That explains why he's still with Cameron, he's too hopped up to get around to dumping her.

OMG...I love Justin's new song. Well I basically love anything by Justin but the new song is great, although I do agree with his voice he should have some more authentic vocals. Have you seen the video for that? I haven't caught it yet. He is performing at the VMA's too so we will see how he does the whole wierd voice thing.
