I don’t understand how people can listen to and actually ENJOY what’s being played on the radio these days. Maybe if people stopped giving a damn about how others perceive them, REAL artists would actually get an opportunity to show those wankers what REAL music is.

(Mik, also check out the email I sent to you about the editing.)

There is shit music out there, I agree. But there’s always been that.

Personally, I like to listen to the new revolutionaries who have talent. People like Laura Marling, and to an extent, Duffy. I also like the older music from decades and sometimes centuries past.

Forgot to add, don’t feed the trolls!

Nice assumption about my intelligence and age there (not so) smart Person, did you pull it out of your ass? Not that music and intelligence are somehow directly correlated with each other though.

(Anyone else find it curious that “smart Person” posted under an astonishing 5 minutes after the first commenter? Either read my previous comment, or get off the proxy server.)

Oh woe is he who criticizes the teenybopper fanboys.

But since you’ve so graciously shifted the focus of this article to Britney “All-I-can-do-is-sing-a-few-lyrics-and-dress-skimpy-for-the-boys” Spears, how many songs can you name that were written by her? Next to nil.

Not that selling 85 million albums actually equates to musical talent, where lip syncing and backup singers are common place. I suppose by your definition you’d consider people like Nelly and N’Sync “Creative Musicians”.

Hey, you idiot (a title that describes you perfectly), too much of a cowardly chicken shit to post your real name? You do realize that’s the NAME Field of the comment form you’ve filled out, right?

Here’s an idea for you, why not try jumping off the MTV bandwagon and search for artists that actually know how to play instruments and compose their own music?

Dumbass.

I agree with the comment above. Insulting an artist who delivers music to million is like insulting millions of people as well. This blogger is stupid and he sounds like 89 years grandpa who has nothing but Elvis Presley memories to live on. Poor fuck.

You’re a fucking idiot and you sound biased as fuck. Music is something people can relate in different levels. Saying Britney Spears music “crap” makes you nothing but a pathetic loser. She’s the 8th most successful female artist in American History. She might be messed up but there are millions around the world who get entertained by listening to her music so insulting her would only make you look like the fool you are. Fucking idiot.
