QUOTE (Boo @ Sep 19 2009, 10:20 PM) That and "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift. No offense to her massive amount of fans, but I do not like her music (I don't like country anyway, and her live performance on a New Years Eve special scored her some really low points in my book.) That specific song, though, reminds me of "Girl Next Door" by Saving Jane.... The lyrics are just too similar. It annoys me, really. I agree with you on that. & listen to "I'd Lie" by Taylor Swift, and please tell me I'm not crazy in thinking the chorus has the same tune as "Girl Next Door" I actually like some of her songs, I just hate having to hear them every minute of every day. My sister is obsessed with her, and she's constantly blasting her music. I wake up hearing Taylor Swift. I do my homework hearing Taylor Swift. I rant about hearing Taylor Swift while hearing Taylor Swift. DOES MY SISTER NOT LIKE ANY OTHER ARTIST????!!! O.O So it's not really Taylor's fault I mean come on, I'm obsessed with a few artists too, but I'm not constantly shoving them into anyone's face Her obsession has begun to die down though, so maybe someday years from now I'll get over all this and enjoy some of her songs, like I used to before my sis had heard of her

QUOTE (P-girl @ Dec 7 2010, 10:54 AM) Speaking off Taylor Swift....
Don't know the title, but she goes all 'You were Romeo, I was the Scarlett Letter' and such things.
Dear Taylor Swift (And anyone else who uses Romeo and Juliet as the ultimate in Romance)
Romeo and Juliet both DIED due to their incompetence in love. It's about two impulsive teenagers who throw away everything to be with someone they've barely known. Get it in your head. The song is Love Story lol. And I see what you mean, but I think she was just using the concept of lovers who aren't allowed to be with each other and all, and since Romeo and Juliet are so well known she based the song on that. It doesnt mean it has to end the same way, since she didnt leave it open ended for the listener to assume that the characters in the song had the Shakespeare canon ending. She re-wrote the ending to suit what she was going for, think of it as a fanfic sorta thing lol. As for Just The Way You Are, its about how so many teenagers today (girls in particular? =S) are really self conscious about their appearances and are always thinking they're ugly or fat even when they're not. Having someone reassure them that they are actually beautiful in a song like that is like considered really sweet lol which is why people love the song so much. About the personality thing, well this particular song isnt focusing on that. If it was a big social issue kinda thing where people were all "I'm a bad person with a horrible personality D:" then someone could write a hit single about how the person is actually a really good person on the inside and all. But since at this point in time people are underestimating their own looks, this song works. I dunnoe thats just how I see it =S Sorry this might just be me defending them cause I really like the songs, but just my opinion =P

Another song I thought of: Whip My Hair by Willow Smith. I feel kinda bad to hate on her because she's only 10, but that song is pretty annoying

Indeed, indeed, to each his own.
But on Whip My Hair, Ellie, don't feel too bad. You're not hating, hating would be saying things like OMG WILLOW IS SOOOO UGLY AND FAT etc. Basically making unfounded nasty claims against her. Which is particularly bad because she's ten. However, you're basically just expressing your dislike of the song, which is perfectly alright. If anyone, even a ten year old, expects to release work to the public, they have to understand the fact people won't like it.

QUOTE (ellieluvsdolphins @ Dec 5 2010, 03:22 AM) Any Justin Bieber songs, most Taylor Swift songs, and most Katy Perry songs. I absolutely despise "Tik Tok" by Ke$ha. I don't mind her other songs that much, but her live voice makes me want to stick my head into sand like an ostrich, so I won't have to hear it, so I can never call myself a fan. I don't really like Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody"... hmmm I think that's it... I completely agree with everything you stated here. Katy Perry's "California Girls" particularly bothers me; why would anyone want to listen to a song about the "privileged" (and by this I mean rich) nonexistent (meaning that her portrayal reflects that of "Hollywood"; false... not true... not real) young "perfect" women of California? Living with a sibling who is obsessed with the song is truly torturous... Right about now, I'm also currently detesting all forms of Christmas carols... (Currently being overplayed on the radio... and repeated... and repeated... and repeated...) And, as always: rap... The constant degradation of women translating into flailing attempts at backing up the rapper's false facade of masculinity.. I swear, that's the only reason why they include lines of women's inferiority, as well as unneccessary cursing and the like... it's to provide them (the rapper) with a sense of superiority (that "manly-man" appeal, so to speak). Not so... A true artist need not hide behind a mask of harshness and inhumane discrimination to prove their "talents" to the world.. And a true musical artist, in my opinion, is someone who can sing a beautiful love song or touching lament and be genuinely and completely proud of it... Now that's confidence! In short, any musician that degrades another (group or individual) in any way is NOT worth the listen and NOT deserving of the money, the fame, and the "pride." Unfortunately, the vast majority of songs within the rap genre do just that, and artists producing such garbage, for reasons confounding to me, become wildly popular... It's a shame.
