[AGENT J]

its all good i figured as much

is it weird that when she was bald headed and freaking out, spitting and hitting that car with the umbrella I wasn't thinking about her? I couldn't help but think, DAMN thats one hell of an umbrella, ive never owned an umbrella that i could beat off a car and it just not break in pieces, where does one get an umbrella that strong, that could be a commercial.

Agent Js umbrellas . . . . even crazy proof

is that wrong?

Put me in line for one.

I got my classic country and classic rock stations and a few CDs of albums from the 70's and early 80's (Queen, Rush, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd)

I love classic rock and LZ is my favorite band. They just don't make music like that anymore. OTH, I can't stand country music. One of the worse genres of music IMO.

Not much of a country fan, but some of it isn't bad.

There was one generation of country music that was good, the generation of George, Johnny, Merle, Willie and Patsy, just about everything before and since sucked.

 

[Superfly]

I'm not a fan of country music, either, but I don't mind Tim McGraw. There are a couple of songs that I like from others, but not many. I love Merle Haggard. He's about the only classic country singer I care for. He reminds me of my father. My father was a country music singer in his youth, and did a lot of Merle covers.

On the rare occasion I do karaoke, I sing "Crazy " . Been told I sound a lot like her. Don't know about that, but her songs are easy to sing.

You must have a pretty good voice.

So I've been told. Although I won't be singing in public or on any reality shows any time soon.

 

[AngryOldGuy]

Patsy's songs are easy to sing
That's just Crazy

Brittany is not a talented singer. Everything is synthesized.

The Rise of the Synthesized Voice

Synthesized music doesn't always have to be terrible.





However, I would agree that Britney is a pretty egregious example of what happens when people abuse the technology.

She isn't even trying to sing in "Scream and Shout." She's just talking in a really bad British accent and letting the computer do all the work.

You're right, and I do like that song "Pumped Up Kicks." It's one of those songs that grows on you. It's just no substitute for actual talent though is all I'm saying, and a truly talented person hopefully would not have to lower themselves to such ridiculous stage antics.

Frankly, that's always been the problem. Even if a person really were legitimately talented (which Britney is not), it wouldn't be possible for them to effectively sing while prancing around on stage like a side show act anyway.

They'd basically be guaranteed to pass out from asphyxiation sooner or later. :lol:

At the end of the day, Britney is, and always has been, little more than a pretty face meant to sell records. The same is true of most pop stars.

No one cares about the "integrity" of her music. They just want to see her dance to a catchy tune. Her label honestly probably could've had someone completely different sing the actual songs, while leaving Britney to do the stage performances, and it wouldn't have made a lick of difference to the success of her career.

Pop stars are as much "singers" as professional wrestlers are martial artists.

 

[Gathomas88]

she probably tried to kill him or sabotage the enterprise, trust me dude dont hit anything green! lol

Green girls need love too man!



:lol:

In another post, I explained to someone (I think it was clownboy) that one of the "dirty little secrets" of the pop music industry was many (most?) of their songs were written by someone else. Another "secret" is some of them don't sing at their performances. They play a pre-recorded track, and the performer just lip-synchs while dancing around.

Didn't one singer a few years ago get caught doing that?

ISTR it happening more than once, but the big one that sticks out in my mind was Millie Vanilli, who were actually two men. But in that case, it wasn't lip synching on stage; it was having someone else actually sing on their record.

But Brittany Spears and others have also been known to lip synch during concerts and other appearances

One of those voids - one of the Simpson girls. The younger one. She was on SNL and she botched it pretty badly.

I just googled stars who were caught lip syncing. How disappointing! Anyway, the one I was thinking of was Ashlee Simpson.

Lol! Thanks, you beat me to it.

That's right. She was about to start performing her 2nd song of the night (guests usually play two songs on SNL) when the vocal track from the 1st song started playing. At that moment, the mic wasn't even near her mouth

 

[SheWolf]

I agree. I think it was weird watching her walk out of the bear. She threw he leg up, stuck her tongue out, and then walked down the stairs doing some weird wrist twisting and looked like she didn't know what to do with herself. It was awkward watching it from the start.

Nothing she did as far as dancing looked trained or choreographed either.

Best post of this thread.

WTF with the tongue? She's lanky, which isn't automatically a bad thing, but for her makes most of her moves that are intended to be sexually suggestive just come off as awkward. The whole thing was just bizarre.

 

[Superfly]

Void, void, void. I swear I don't know how those Simpson girls ever got anywhere. They are, to me, among celebrity anomalies much like the Kardashians. Not only how did they get there, but why are they still there??

 

[AngryOldGuy]

If Ashlee Simpson was a Star
I will admit her
rhinoplasty worked out great!
