I think Nicki Minaj is one of those artists you either love or hate. I actually love her because she raps and sings. Usually a singer sacrifices one for the other and because she can do both, and does both that’s what makes her different and why she is so popular. I mean that’s why I like her so much.
-
I don’t think Kesha can sing. I am all about the words to a song and the way a singer sings them. She just has this voice that’s like nails on a chalkboard. However the way she drives her voice into the synthesizers is why I get why she’s so popular. She totally needs those synths. And she’s luck she came out now when a ‘club’ electronic sound is currently popular. If she came out like five years before she did she probably would have been a one hit wonder and died.
-
I know there has always been pop in country but seriously I’ve noticed the latest songs to come out like Carrie Underwood’s blown away got me thinking I turned in to the wrong channel. I get that pop is now more ‘electric’ but why is country going that way? I don’t want synths and weird back up sounds in my country. I guess that’s why I always say, ‘Thank God for George Strait.’
-
Sometimes I hear a song and think, “wow that would make a great remix.” I don’t have the skill or equipment to do it myself so I look up the song on something like YouTube to see if a remix was done of that song. A lot of times the songs I look up were the only problem is why do most remixes only use the chorus? It’s like B.O.B’s Airplanes. He features Haley Williams from Paramore to sing the chorus. Now it’s B.O.B’s song, he sings the verse but what gets me made is dj’s remixed Airplane, but again only the chorus. They got some nerve tagging BOB when you don’t even hear him in the remix. I hate when djs do that. If your gonna remix a song it should be the whole song. I get that it’s for a club floor and in that situation it’s all about the beat but still. I think a true remix should be the whole song or not done at all.
-
I listen to a lot of music and do like a lot of songs but on a rare occasion I do find a song that I am so upset when it ends that I just have to listen to it more than once. In country music it’s Shania Twain’s Any Man of Mine. In pop it’s B.O.B’s airplanes. In dance its Cascada’s Faded (the Dave Ramone Remix). The last one to join the list is Maroon 5 with Payphone. Just can’t get enough of that.
-
I have to admit I don’t go for ‘preachy’ songs. While there is nothing wrong with a song with a message (like Jimmy eat World’s the Middle) and I always roll my eyes whenever a singer always cliché’s themselves with the, ‘oh I wanna change the world and make it better through my music’. Like everyone hasn’t heard that a million and one times. However there is the occasional ‘preachy’ song I do like. Like Katy Perry’s Fireworks (especially any remix) and Pink. Pink just has a great rough attitude like in F* Perfect or her latest I try. She’s just the kind a person you totally want to raise your glass and agree by saying, ‘Yah, I’m weird and ugly. Wanna make somethin’ of it?’ That’s the kind of preachy songs should be. Attitude. That’s why Pink is probably the only singer I listen to that preaches. All about the way you spin it.
-
I can’t believe how many artists are out there that I found on YouTube. I mean I constantly listen to the radio but I found a lot of artists I really like never made it to mainstream radio. (Or if they did it was one hit and then they faded off). I’m constantly on YouTube searching for new artists. I like it more that the radio. I listen to it more than the radio. While sometimes I find it weird, a lot of times I hear an artist on YouTube before they make it big then get all excited because its like I listened to them before they went famous so I was along for the entire ride.
-
I've always been into rap and hip-hop type of music. Just recently though im finding myself listening to alot of old skool jamz and enjoyin this kinda music alot more. The lyrics and the beats just have so much more meaning and substance to them.
-

I agree with you!!! I say this all the time...Its amazing how many people I listened to on youtube...Sometimes I prefer them over all the other artists.

So watching the CMA’s and I really miss Vince Gill hosting. When they had Brooks & Dunn it wasn’t too bad but I’m sorry while Brad Paisley’s songs are cute him with Carrie Underwood is just not funny. I didn’t laugh at all this year and a slight chuckle last year. Besides Carrie was replaced by Taylor Swift so I think they just gave her the hosting gig as like compinsation so she isn’t a ‘where is she now’ type of thing like Gretchen Willson. I mean yeah she had Blow Away go to number one but really with Taylor Swift as a power house right now it’s like ‘Carrie who?’
-
Speaking of CMA’s I was upset the year Gretchen Willson got not only the Horizon award, which I could have lived with, but also female vocalist at the SAME award show. She’s basically a one hit wonder and certainly ‘died’ after what the third album? She’s a guest vocal on one of the new songs by Eric Church but really how could the CMA’s be that stupid? I think female vocalist should be a woman whose been around at least five years so your sure they have staying power and not some stupid fade like Gretchen obviously was.
-
I think Tobey Keith was right that award shows like the CMA’s are nothing but a popularity contest. I mean I sit there and think clearly it’s rigged. Whoever is the most popular for that particular year wins the award in their category. Not necessarily do they deserve the win (while personal taste I agree with some) but just that they were big that particualr year so CMA wants to award that before the following year they just aren’t so great. I mean that’s why the last year faith hill was nominated for Female Vocalist against Carrie Underwood they made a big deal when Faith Hill was upset. I believe she was upset not because she lost but because Carrie won. Look at who the competition was that year. You had Faith, Sara Evans, Martina McBride all women that were around for at least ten years. Carrie was an up-in-coming nobody at the time. You can’t tell me she is better than Ladies that were tried and true. She just happened to have more hits that year then the rest so she won. Now it’s all Taylor Swift. I think that’s why Faith Hill is back to singing. The country music fans (the true ones) always stick with people who aren’t fads. That’s why it’s so good to see Miranda winning stuff. Yes I think it’s cuz her hubby Blake Shelton is on The Voice, but still. She was out before Carrie or Taylor and just got lost in the fad craze. She isn’t a fad and remindes me of the old time ladies like Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton that had to work their butts off to get where they were.
-
I don’t get the CMA’s this year. How could they be that desperate that they were just throwing people into catagories that made one just say, ‘huh?’ I mean while Martina McBride is my favorite singer of all time, she didn’t have a real hit in a least two years and she was in the best female vocalist category. I could have seen Reba McEntire because at least she went to number one with Turn on the Radio. And Kelly Clarkson for female vocalist. Really? She’s not even country! She had a number one duet with Jason Aldean and released Mr. Know it all as a country song which didn’t even break the top 15, if it even broke the top 20. She’s pop. What was the CMA people thinking? And I know Montgomery Gentry still sings and release a song late last year which climbed the charts early this year. Why didn’t they get a nomination? And how the heck can you take some group like the Civil Wars that aren’t even mainstream country over Rascal Flatts? That’s right. With hits like Banjo, Easy, Come wake me up, and I won’t let go they get NO nominations but Civil wars whom I didn’t even hear of (and I’m a weekly check the charts freak) until the CMA’s gets a nod? What the heck gives???
-
While I can applaud the CMA’s for giving Blake Shelton (for his new found mainstream popularity) the male vocalist and Entertainer of the Year award and Miranda Lambert (for being his wife) the female vocalist, I am glad that Hunter Hayes won the Horizon award. I think he will be around for a while (which is what the award represents) and I think he was the most deserving out of all the rest that were in the category. (While frankly I don’t think Thompson Square should have been in that category against him at all and was glad to see the husband and wife duo win the best Duo of the year award.)
-
While I know the CMA’s like all award shows are rigged, there are a few times I am happy to see certain people win. Like I’m glad Tobey Keith won for best Video in Red Solo cup and Kenny Chesney with Tim McGraw for Rockstar for Vocal Event of the year. And Hunter Hayes for Horizon award.
-
I think Dierks Bentley just keeps getting robbed for his song Home. At the CMA’s this year he lost the Best Single of the year, Best Song, and Best Album. While I believe Miranda’s song Over You was deserving of best song Home should have at least won for single. I like Little Big Town, glad they one for best group of the year but seriously Pontoon? It’s a catchy little summer song and while I do like it, Home is more deserving of recognition than a summer song. Home is one of the best song Dierks has ever released and it is one of those songs that was meant for him to sing. You know how rare that is? I mean to hear a song and say, ‘oh yeah only that particular singer could have sang that song.’ Home is one of those and like Bono of U2 said, “It’s the kind of song that no matter where you’re from you can understand the meaning because America is more than a place, it’s a state of mind.’
-
I think what makes Elvis so timeless is that even current dj’s that remix his music, his voice just flows with it. A little less conversation was a flop back in ’65 (I think it was) when it was originally released. However when it was remixed for A Sharks Tale then dj’s across America remixed it for night clubs it was so huge it went to number one and made music history by making Elvis the longest artist to be dead to still have a number one hit (27 years after his death). Elvis also just made timeless music not music for the time in which he sang but songs that a grandparent, parent and kid could listen to. I’m not talking about ‘clean’ non-cursing lyrics. I mean songs like his Suspicious minds is a tune that anyone of any generation can relate to, like, and ‘own’ in their generation. Try to say that about the stuff out to day. Kesha’s Blow for example. Can we honestly say that song will be still okay to listen to 30 years from now? Look at Willa Ford. She was a won hit wonder with I wanna be bad—if anyone still even knows that song now and its only been what 10yrs at max. Okay there’s YouTube but that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the song itself being able to withstand the test of time. Today’s generation of singers only things about today. They really don’t care about tomorrow. I guess that’s why when we talk about the greats its singers like The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Aerosmith. It’s not Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, or the Jonas Brothers (or One Direction who replaced them in the boy band craze).
-
Natasha Bedingfield’s dad was a one hit wonder and just about the same could be said of Natasha, but I was listening to her Unwritten just the other day and I still enjoy listening to it as much then as I did when it was brand new over the air waves. I think that’s what makes a good song. If you can listen to it years later and still enjoy it as you did the first time you heard it, then it’s a good song.
-
There aren’t too many artists I still by cds from, since cds are basically going extinct the way cassettes and A-track tapes went. I still get Martina McBride, Surgarland and Pink. That maybe dumb but with the whole don’t know if the elextronic will work tomorrow thing, at least if I have the cd I won’t loose any songs from my library because I can pop the cd right back into the computer and re-rip it. If I only had it on computer and it crashes, there goes the album. There is also something about owning the cd to a song that you heard on the radio that just don’t have with owning just the song. It may be weird, and I like I said I don’t do it with many artists, but with my favs I just HAVE to get the cd.
-
While I agree it’s cheaper to spend 20bucks on 20 songs you do want to listen to I still miss the whole cd thing. Of course you have to wonder where to put all those cds (I’ve got 3 different cd cases) while a downloaded album of songs just goes onto the computer (or external harddrive like in my case.)
-
I'm a fan of all types of music.
-
I can handle pretty much any kind of music except for rap and country. Really can't stand rap, and very little country. Don't care much for pop music, either.
-
When I do buy music, it's rarely ever in CD form... I almost always buy digital- it can't be scratched, and if you "misplace" the file, 9 times out of 10 you can re-download the music you purchased at no extra cost.
-
There are so many singing artists whose music I enjoy. Have never been able to get into The RAP scene. My taste is very eclectic. I like R&B, Rock, gospel. If the words have meaning, it touches me deeply.
-
I like Mary J Blige
-
Her music energizes to a ceratin degree, but to each their own.
-
80's rock this new stuff sucks
-
I'm one of the most eclectic individuals when it comes to music. I listen to alot of different things from One Direction to Red Jumpsuit Apparatius to Patrick Stump to Loreen, and the list goes on.
-
??? I don't like her but I try to listen to everything, I guess this new music doesn't cater to me, but to each their own :icon_rr:
-
??? I don't like her but I try to listen to everything, I guess this new music doesn't cater to me, but to each their own :icon_rr:
Yes to each their own, so what music do you like?
-
I pretty much like any kind of music except for Raggae and Rap. Some Hip hop and Country is ok. But mostly listen to 80s stuff, Alternative, New Age.
-
uuu...wish britney can go back to her first music...
-
Think I will pass on all of that.
-
Over the years, I've gone through a couple phases where I would spend more time (actually all my time, or very close to it) listening to only genre and then I'd start transitioning into something different. One thing that remains a constant is rock music & metal. I'm a little picky though when it comes to both, there is some stuff out there that's in those genres that I find to be crap. I suppose that goes with pretty much any genre though. I'll listen to jazz, classical, & country. I can listen to some of the older rap/hip-hop and r&b, but I'm pretty picky about that stuff too. Some times, it all comes down to the mood I'm in as to what I can tolerate or not.
-
Well, I like Jazz Kenney G. Kim Waters, and Jazz Masters and Luther Vandross. Whitney Houston and some Gospels
Music. :thumbsup:
-
Katy Perry is the absolute worst singer ever to me...I love Incubus :-)
-
I love all kinds of music, except elevator or classical
-

I agree, I don't think she can really sing.
-
Well, I like a whole bunch of things, except rap and country, maybe old school rap but not as much.
I mainly like Korean pop and Japanese rock, and no that does not only mean Gangnam Style D: e.e
I also like rock in Spanish, German rock, reagetton (More like Wisin & Yandel only), eh...yeah. c:
-
I like a lot of different music and i can enjoy most of what is out there.
-
I dont like alot of new musicians...but i love Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Rihanna and some others...I find myself not listening to the radio too much...I prefer to be deep in thought.
-
while I am glad that Florida Georgia Line made it to number one with their first single Cruise, it does seem a bit weird to hit the top of the charts now. Oh don’t get me wrong, I like the song. It’s just that Cruise is a great summer song. I have it on my summer country music playlist. But its December. You know, winter. Unless everyone in the middle of winter wishes it was summer I could have seen it hitting the top of the charts in like Aug at the latest. You know the way Pontoon by Little Big Town did.
-
I love christian hymns and spirituals. Classical music is high on my list also. Music is a gift from God.
-
Every entertainer has a different style!
-
I like many types of songs as long as they convey a message or tell a story. Sometimes even if the lyrics do not make much sense, as long as the melody is good.
-
im not that big on music. i will listen when im riding in a vehicle but thats about it
-
i like all kinds of music.... especially trance music and indie stuff :D
-
I think that music today is really crappy & I've become my parents liking music from the good old days. you know music where you can hear the words to the song! :thumbsup:
-
I like all types of music. Lately, I've been listening to Country and Western music. I do not know why I'm interested in listening to Country and Western music.
Some of the songs sounds good to me, such as "All My Exs Live in Texas." Hey, come to think of it, all of my exs do live in Texas.
-

Sadly true, but they are some interesting (solo)bands like Breakbot, Gorillaz, and Daft Punk, etc (they aren't as popular as other bands)
-
Adele is my favorite. i can't stand Kesha, Katy Perry and the rest of them.
-
I like a variety of music, I use to only listen to country, especially outlaw music, however I have totally changed now I like to listen to music from Adele, Michael Buble, Casey Abrams, I do listen to country once in while, but IDK....just seems like the country womens want to be pop stars and they aren't very good at it, country isn't really country anymore.
-
Today you do not have to sing, just be different.
-
I think Nicki Minaj is one of those artists you either love or hate. I actually love her because she raps and sings. Usually a singer sacrifices one for the other and because she can do both, and does both that’s what makes her different and why she is so popular. I mean that’s why I like her so much.
While Nicki is quite talented she does need one thing changed - SHE NEEDS AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!!!!! If she didn't have such a pompous attitude she would be liked a whole lot more by a whole lot of people!!!
-
Today you do not have to sing, just be different.
that's true!
what i like to do, i like to write music!! :)

I'm a fan of all types of music.
;) hey, i'm a latina and my music is ONLY Spanish baby!!!!! :heart: :star:

:wave: This made me think of the time I lived in Texas (some 40 years gone by). They would say that there was only 2 kinds of music...Country AND Western.
Now I listen to mostly Jazz, Blues, (some) Rap & Good Ol Rock & Roll.
[Quote from: tantricia44] "Sadly true, but they are some interesting (solo)bands like Breakbot, Gorillaz, and Daft Punk, etc (they aren't as popular as other bands)."
Hun...Breakbot, Gorillaz, and Daft Punk ? Who ??? Guess I'd better quit while I'm ahead (showing my age) lmao.
P.S. If ya know what Doo-Wop is, I like that too. (http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa239/HappySmith52/OldDance.gif)

I love music! It can really help me sometimes to get in a better mood. Especially the ones i can relate to. I listen to all different genres.

So while I am a little surprised that Eric Church’s Springsteen was the year end chart topper for the ACC, I do realize that just being a number one song doesn’t garenntee you make even make the year end list. Of course I would be upset if I had a number one that didn’t make the year end countdown but then back when Bob Kingsley did it rather than Kix Brooks, he used to say that the year end count down is compiled of not the best hits of the year but the longest hits of the year. Ergo Springsteen.
-
I was glad to see Little Big Town’s Pontoon make the year end countdown for the ACC (though it was a meger #37). You know who I didn’t see make the cut? Sugarland. Okay so Stuck on You was like their only true hit from the Incredible Machine and because Jennifer Nettles does keyboard the abulmn sounds a bit more pop than country I still missed them on the chart.
-
Though I have to say I’m shocked not so much that Jana Kramer’s Why ya wanna made the year end ACC chart but that it was the 8th biggest song for the year. Who knew that was so popular? I don’t think it even made the top ten in the weekly chart!
-
I was on YouTube and it just shocks me how mainstream radio doesn’t even scratch the surface of how many artists and genre music is out there.
-
I don’t get why Beyonce lip-syncing at the Inauguration is such a ‘controversy’. Honestly she should have mentally known the words but seriously. Anyone who has ever watched the Macy’s Day Parade knows lip-syncing is has become almost a part of live performances as dancing to a sweat.
-
My younger brother complained to me that while he understands that all performers that sing on the parade floats lip-sync why did James Taylor have to make it obvious he was lip-synicing. I told him, ‘Cut James some slack. He isn’t used to lip-synicing. After all he comes from a generation where lip-synicng was unheard of. A live performance in that decade meant hearing songs sung live not just witnessing a singer dance around on stage to a light show and costume ball.
-
I couldn’t care less if Destiny’s child gets back together. I only like Beyonce’s Single Ladies song (otherwise I am a Rihanna fan) and always felt Destiny’s Child was just a rip off of TLC.
-
I don’t get Ellie Goulding songs. I’ve listened to them like a zillion times. Even watched the videos with lyrics and I think her songs make no sense. I can only come to the conclusion that they aren’t supposed to make sense, just be great songs to dance to.
-
I have yet to be impressed with a Justin Bieber song—though he does look better once he got his hair cut.
-
I haven’t liked a Kenny Chesney song since ‘Everybody wants to go to heaven.’
-
Totally liking the new Tim McGraw stuff like Truck Yeah and One of those nights. Felt good on my lips is another good one.
-
Have to be honest I didn’t really jump on the Little Big Town wagon when they first rolled around but I’m really lovin their stuff since their ‘Bones’ song.
-
Better dig two by The Band Perry seems to have stalled at number six on the Charts but I have to say I’ve liked all their songs except all of your life.
-
I’m not only glad to see Gary Allan back on the charts but his ‘Every storm (runs out of rain) is a really great inspirational song.
-
I have to say that while I do like Brad Paisley I am not a big fan of Southern Comfort Zone.
-
Taylor Swift seems like a sell out to me. I mean as soon as she made a name for herself in country she jumped to making versions of her songs for the pop world and now with ‘I knew you were trouble’ that is more like punk rock than anything sounding even remotely country. Guess she’s just a popularity girl rather than a true musican like Brad Paisley. They went to him a few years back and asked him to make pop versions of his songs. He flat out refused saying he’s country and he’ll always be.
-
Rap music. =-P Two words that should never go together.
-
i liked it when her "songs" actually had meaning
now she's just out there rapping and singing non-sense
I just stopped listening to her for awhile after I heard beez in da trap
-
Im into alot of music, except the majority of radio hits, theyre so annoying
-
I am a pretty big fan of the pop music that is out right now. It is great music to work out to!
-
She is terrible. I don't understand anything about her.
-
i like all kinds of music, not a huge fan of rap, but i listen to a little bit of everything.... :thumbsup:

I am not surprised that Country Singer Mindy McCready killed herself. She’s been trying since 2005. A month before, her boyfriend David Wilson, dad of her younger son, killed himself. She’s the one that found him as he lay dying and considering she fully believed he was her soul-mate, she took it harder than she let on. Of course that was just the last personal tragedy in her life. The ‘Guys do it all the time’ and ‘Ten thousand Angels’ hit maker battled substance abuse and alcoholism as well as a custody battle with her own mother over her sons. Then there was that relationship with Billy McKnight (father of her older son) who in 2005 was arrested for attempted murder after he tried to beat and choke her. Then there was the arrests in 2005 and again in 2007. I think Natalie Maines, lead singer of the Dixie Chicks, said it best on Twitter when she tweeted, ‘Too much tragedy for her to overcome.’ That certainly was the truth.
-
On youtube I can’t help but watching Carly Rae Jepsen’s Sour Candy music video. The song is ok but I wouldn’t listen to it if it wasn’t for Josh Ramsay and his great ability to totally steal the video. He wasn’t in it I wouldn’t watch the video and wouldn’t even listen to the song.
-
Honestly I don’t even listen to the music of Sour Candy by Carly Rae Jepsen. I just watch the music video for Josh Ramsay.
-
I have to say that I like the band Milk Inc. over Lasgo but I like Lasgo over Sliver.
-
I listened to the new Christina Aquilera song Let there be love. While I like it better than her last ‘Your Body’ song the best remix of it is the Riddler & Reid Stefan Remix.
-
Always been a fan of Maroon 5 but have to say that they just Rock when heard in a remix by Reid Stefan. Stefan really knows how to remix a song.
-
Billy Ray Cyrus's new album is amazing.
-
i listen to all kinds of music. To me, it seems like he rap/hiphop pretty much sounds the same everytime i turn on the radio. I like Macklemore. I've watched his videos on Youtube and really like them. He can be fun a crazy and then have some that have a message.
-
Hey All FC members, I really like all types of music, Give it to me slow, fast, mellow, sweet, rough and rugged. Mix them all up, and enjoy.
-
I can’t believe how many artists are out there that I found on YouTube. I mean I constantly listen to the radio but I found a lot of artists I really like never made it to mainstream radio. (Or if they did it was one hit and then they faded off). I’m constantly on YouTube searching for new artists. I like it more that the radio. I listen to it more than the radio. While sometimes I find it weird, a lot of times I hear an artist on YouTube before they make it big then get all excited because its like I listened to them before they went famous so I was along for the entire ride.
I agree, many artists are discovered on YouTube, nowadays. Even though it may sound hipster-ish, it's true that it's cool finding atists online and knowing them before they blow up.

This description fits my musical taste as well. It's all about my mood. 8)

i enjoy contemporary christian music artists like castging crowns third day mercy me
-
I like the Old School Songs. They have messages that really reaches inside of you. I do buy some of the current music if I like it well enough.
-
I like Nicki Minaj...I like Maroon 5, I like alot of country...but not too many of the new artists appeal to me. I still like classic rock and country.
-
I watched the lyric video to Joel Crouse’s If you want some. It’s a nice laid back kinda song along the lines of the stuff Georgia Florida Line does and I think it’s neat to emphasize the lazy laid back theme of the song they write the lyrics all over records and tapes rather than cd’s or on the screen of Ipods. So it’s representing a more laid back period of time.
-
Watched Justin Bieber’s All around the world music video and the screaming fans are louder than his singing. You can barely hear whatever he is singing or trying to sing based on your opinion of his music.
-
I love the way Nate Ruess lead singer of Fun pronounces every word with his mouth in full. Usually singers sing words but when you watch their mouth their lips are barely moving. When he sings it’s with his whole mouth and that is a joy to see.
-
Watched Olly Murs Troublemaker music video. The song itself is okay but the video is hilarious.
-
I agree when someone started complaining about taylor swift and how her latest album is not country. That’s why I consider her not only a fade but a sellout. It’s the same thing that happened with Faith Hill and her Cry album. When you start becoming more famous through the Pop world you sacrifice Country for it. That’s why I stay with people who are loyal to Country Music and not to popularity or fame. People like Brad Paisley who was actually approached to make his songs pop (like make new versions the way Shania Twain did for Come on Over). He flat out said, “No. I’m country.” Country music needs more artists like him.
-
I have to say that I’m conflicted about whether I actually like Blake Shelton or not. He doesn’t seem to have a style and since he’s been on the Voice (which increased his popularity so he’s now winning all the country awards for Male Vocalist) his style is heavy on the Pop/Rock than country especially his latest song Boys ‘round here. The only thing that actually makes it country is the lyrics. The sound itself isn’t country.
-
I'll just stick with the classics, most music that gets produced today is pure crap by mainstream "artists"
-
I miss the old female singers of the 80’s and 90’s. The ones like Pam Tillis, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Tanya Tucker, Patty Loveless, Reba (well, she still sings). From the first note out their mouth you knew who sang. Each one had a disnect voice and took songs that only they could have sang.
-
The problem with today’s country artists is that every one sounds like everyone else and every song isn’t exclusive to that artist they could be song by anyone or everyone. That’s why I always return to the old ones like Tracy Lawernce, Mark Chestnut, Pam Tillis, Tanya Tucker. That’s when Country was at it’s prime. Now it’s just a shadow of what it used to be. So sad.
-
I realize that pop has always been a part of Country. I mean Patsy Cline always ended her concerts with one pop song. However, like the Tim McGraw song ‘Back When’ I can’t stand the fact that they’re putting pop in the country. As each year passes unless someone is singing about life on a farm or an actual honky tonk country music is less country and more pop. I will say that if I start hearing synthesizers in country music I’m gonna stop listening to it.
-
I have to say my favorite Pam Tillis song is Land of the Living.
-
Eddie Rabbit had so many great hits from Driving my life away to American boy.
-
There are way too many great old country artists to put them all on one ablum. I mean you got Ricky Skaggs, Billy Dean, John Anderson, John Denver, Mark Chestnut, Paul OVersteet, the Judds, Patty Loveless, Doug Stone etc.
-
I prefer Tanya Tucker to LeAnn Rimes as far as preteen to adult singers go. Tanya remained country throughout her career while LeAnn tried several different things including trying to distance herself from Country only to find out that her largest fan base was country and she had to come back to it. Tanya remained loyal to Country Music and just had that voice you knew was hers from the very first note.
-
I always get Lorrie Morgan and Lari White mixed up.
-
Bubba shot the jutebox always made me laugh, especailly the part that goes, “A reckless discharge of a gun, that’s what the officer’s claimin’. Bubba hollered as loud as hell, ‘I hit just where I was aimin’.”
-
There are really great artists that no matter when you listen to them, they are as great now as they were when they came out like the Beatle, Elvis etc. Then there are individual songs rather than the artist that stay forever like Bridge over troubled water, Lean on me etc.
-
A true artist that can span decades and be as popular now as they were when they first began like Madonna, Elvis, Conway Twitty are extremely rare.
-
R.I.P. to Whitney, she will always be my second favorite singer right behind Martina McBride.
-
I always knew Martina McBride was short but I couldn’t believe when I saw an episode of Reba where Dolly Parton guest stared. I had no idea Dolly was that short even with high heels.
-
There are so many one hit wonders in so many musical genres it’s next impossible to keep track.
-
I don’t know why but I always liked sad songs like All the lonely people by the Beatles, I am an Island by Simon and Garfunkel, Paint me a Birmingham by Tracy Lawrence, You’ll think of me by Keith Urban.
-
I have every album Pink has ever done because I have always admired the fact that she is strong and fearless which comes through in her music.
-
I think Nicki Minaj is one of those artists you either love or hate. I actually love her because she raps and sings. Usually a singer sacrifices one for the other and because she can do both, and does both that’s what makes her different and why she is so popular. I mean that’s why I like her so much.
I'm all about Rob Thomas Matchbox 20 & the Goo Goo Dolls...yes I'm super excited going to see them...YES!! :thumbsup:

When I do buy music, it's rarely ever in CD form... I almost always buy digital- it can't be scratched, and if you "misplace" the file, 9 times out of 10 you can re-download the music you purchased at no extra cost.
I guess I'm in the opposite camp... When I buy music, it's usually in CD form. I can rip the CD into MP3 files and play those on my computer. And if the file gets lost or corrupted, I can just re-rip the CD again. Also, it's easier to prove you have a license to a particular song if you can produce the CD the song came off of. Usually when I download music, it's either a request from someone (esp. since I'm a karaoke DJ, I sometimes get requests at a show and the only option to play it is to d/l it using the bar's wifi), or it's from my e-music subscription (I originally had that for all of the off-genre music they had, including the Celtic music that was difficult to find the CDs in the store).
I really like all sorts of music, and it usually is more certain songs that I can't stand rather than an entire genre... I also am really liking mashups, esp. when the DJ mixes many different songs together to form a completely new one with a new theme or use of the lyrics. Party Ben's Boulevard of Broken Songs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RCsledgOU4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RCsledgOU4)) was the first that I heard (I actually think I heard it on a local radio station played it once when it first came out) and he is still one of my favorite mashup artists. DJ Earworm is also a great mashup artist; every December he takes the top 25 songs of the year and makes a mashup of them -- some years the song he creates is absolutely fantastic -- and it makes for a great end-of-the-year song to play at karaoke.
-
taylor swift-2 songs so far, justin bieber-2/3 songs so far, nikki flores, nicki manaj- a few songs..im not a very big fan of US singers. I do listen to the radio and youtube vids but im just not a big fan of hollywood singers/celebrities. Im asian so i tend to listen to asian songs more, im not saying US singers are bad they are good-perfect just like the asian songs but i dont know why i started listening to asian songs more often this year than the past years.
** im not offending/insulting anyone here, just sharing and saying my answers, ;)
-
I love Bruno Mars, Miguel and I'm waiting on Beyonce to release a new single ::).
-
I like all music-all genres. The so called music that I hate is RAP. It is always negative and demoralizing.
-
Heard Country Girl (Shake it for me) Club Mix by Luke Bryan. Now I never carried for the original not even when I saw him perform it live at the CMA’s but I do love this club mix.
-
I’m so glad club mixes of country songs are on the rise. Maybe with the remixes, country won’t totally die into obscurity the way it seems to be that the only way country artists get ‘recognized’ is jumping into the pop world.
-
While I like I Like DJ Mike G’s Barefoot blue Jean night I perfer the Giove DeeJay Downbeat Dubstep remix of Sugarland’s stuck like glue better than his remix
-
I always liked Nelly right after Akon but I totally love the fact that he’s willing to jump in and to a country song with a country artist. The remix with him and Florida Georgia line Cruise song just rocks (though I loved the original). His remix with them is the way I think it should have been from the beginning.
-
I miss the music I grew up on! Yes it was the 80's 90's and 2000's but music has completely changed! If you listen to a R&B song from the 90's compared to today its like two different worlds!! That's not to say that I don't like some of the music from now but I miss the old school stuff! :icon_rr:
-
I don't pay any attention to them. I'm pretty much stuck in a time warp of 60s and 70s music with some 80s thrown in.
-
I listened to Febe Dobson’s stuttering. I love the chorus I just don’t care much for the lyrics or what takes place in the music video. For all that I prefer her song ‘Ghost.’
-
I am enjoying the Canadian singer Aleesia. I think she has a beautiful voice and ‘Life of the Party’ is my favorite song by her.
-
What’s up with Youtube? There used to be just one or two adds on the side while you watch a music video or whatever. Now there is like seven and they all come with sound. So while I am trying to listen to something I’ve got stupid comercials running off the side that nine times out of ten I can’t mute or if I can I have to figure out which one is making the noise to begin with. So fustrating. :BangHead:
-
I perfer the remixes of Best thing I never had by Beyonce to the original.
-
Definitely not my kind of music - that pop techno kind of mix is what I envision when I think Nicki Minaj. I am actually more a fan of heavy metal personally.
-
I happen to like Nicki Minaj. I'm loving the new song she featured on with Mario!!! I will admit that sometimes she can be somewhat overwhelming, but what good artist isn't!
-
My favorites are: Fantasia, keysia Cole, Trey Songz, Marvin Sapp, John Legend to name a few.
-
I hate Pop music. It seems like people are more interested in everything else that is going on with the artist but the actual music. Maybe it is because these bands, singers, groups or what ever you want to call them only have like 2 good songs and everything else they put out is pure crap. :angry7: :BangHead:
-
I love Nicki's music...not a lot of great music coming out as of recently. I love Rihanna and the Foo Fighters.
-
I watched Miley Cyrus’ wrecking ball music video. I have to say that she is trying too hard to break her Disney Hannah Montana personification. i mean if you listen to the words themselves it’s a very powerful song and vocally she does a wonderful job which I doubt very few of her contemporary companions could do. But the whole ‘get naked to sing on top of a wrecking ball’ thing just screams desperation to separate from being labeled a Disney Kid her whole life. She even did a Robyn thing with her hair. I have to say while it worked for Robyn it doesn't work for her.
-
Country Artist Lea Turner is like a cross between Jo Dee Messina and Jamie O’Neal. In her Take the Keys song it sounds like either artist (though I’m favoring Jo Dee on this one) could have sung this ten years ago.
-
Just blown away by Jessie J’s It’s my party. I think it’s her best song. I usually am a fan of her music but only when it’s remixed. It’s my party I just love the way it is. She sings it with just the right attitude and in the music video her facial expressions are right on the mark. This isn't a song just anyone can sing but it is definitely one Jessie J can and will for years to come.
-
I think Nicki Minaj is one of those artists you either love or hate. I actually love her because she raps and sings. Usually a singer sacrifices one for the other and because she can do both, and does both that’s what makes her different and why she is so popular. I mean that’s why I like her so much.
I just stopped listening to her after "beez in the trap"
She was fine at first but now I just don't want to hear her voice.
-
Let’s talk music have to say that Jennifer Nettles on her own with That Girl I don’t like. I am a huge fan of Sugarland but on her own it’s more of a pop or Soul type sound. But then Incredable Machine wasn’t all that much of a country sound either. I wish she would go back to Sugarland.
-
It is nice to see Sara Evans back on the chart. To me she’s one of the ‘old timers’ now before the whole internet and text message craze.
-
Miranda Lambert does an incredible acting job in Mama’s broke heart. Somebody should get her a movie roll.
-
I have to say I don’t like Carrie Underwood with Brad Pasely as hosts of the CMA’s. I wish they had someone better. It’s why I like the AMC’s. It’s Reba!
-
I watched Brad Paisley’s Old Alabama video and I loved the end where Jeff Gordon tells the cop that Brad is him so Brad gets stuck with the speeding ticket.
-
Single biggest concern I have about music, is it's ability to bypass the mind and enter the heart directly. This communicates from musician, to hearer, a frightening amount of influence/impression/appetite/ etc.
-
COUNTRY COUNTRY COUNTRY COUNTRY
-
I have never really listened to Nicki's music she really isn't my type of music to istn to by choice
-
Just heard Jo Dee Messina’s new song Peace Sign. I loved it. And I’m so glad she’s back. She’s from the old school before all these fad artists showed up. Her popularity wasn’t from digital downloads or YouTube videos. She earned her strips the hard way and her voice is one of those distinct sounds that you know it’s her from the first note she sings. Welcome Back JoDee!
-
So my four year old niece and I have something in common. We both listen to Katy Perry. I recently made a playlist we can listen to of her music, just a great hits type of album however I don’t really think ‘I kissed a girl’ is appropriate for a four year old to listen to.
-
Got the new Martina McBride album Everlasting. Wild Night is the best song on it.
-
Beyonce is awesome in her latest video Pretty Hurts. While the message of the song is powerful and therefore understandable why Beyonce has to lose the pageant, the only problem I have is why couldn’t they pick a pretty girl to win?
-
I don’t care much for Alicia Keys except for Girl on fire but she is amazing in the Spiderman theme It’s on again.
-
I don’t like Katy Perry’s Birthday music video. While she does a good job playing multipule roles I think the song itself deserved a better video.
-
I am glad Colbie Caillat is back. I love Hold On. I think it’s her best song yet.
-
Jar of hearts by Christina Perri was okay but I just think Human stinks. She has a voice that I think could be better used than the type of songs she is wasting them on. A thousand years is her best song so far in her particular style.
-
I think Miranda Lambert’s song she keeps me warm is a very beautiful song. She even as a great voice to match the lyrics. They blend perfectly together.
-
Just can’t get Hey Brother by Avicii out of my head. Especially now that it’s in a car commercial.
-
I can’t believe with Demi Lovato’s version out with included video Disney decided to release Idina Menzel’s version of Let It Go. I like Idina Mezel’s voice better than Demi’s but seriously, do we really need two versions of the same song? And if they planned on releasing Idina’s version why go through the trouble of having Demi make a version?
-
I’ve tried to like Lorde. Her song lyrics are amazing and I even like her voice but there is just something I can’t get past. Maybe it’s the rhythm of her songs. I don’t know.
-
I love love love Taylor Swift!!!! Her voice is just amazing and the lyrics she writes is pure genius. Even though people always complain about her being pop instead of country, I think that she should sing both, her sound is different from others and she should sing whatever she wants. :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:
-
Florrie is amazing and her EPs never disappoint.
-
Okay so I get that sex sells. I mean if it didn’t 97% of songs out there either wouldn’t be out there or wouldn’t have the music video in which they do. That being said what is this sudden fascination with butts? Between Nicki Minaj’s Anaconda and Jenny from the Block’s Booty, not to mention all the club remixes and video pics, it’s like an explosion of the rear-end fascination. It’s just so trashy it’s disgusting.
-
I think Nicki Minaj is one of those artists you either love or hate. I actually love her because she raps and sings.

Not a fan. I like Classic Rock. I also like some of the new satuff. Lords is one I like. Do wish they could come up with some new melodies. Miss those riffs.Nothing like Old Rock&Roll.

I miss Country music. In fact I miss all the music. I miss the days when you could turn on the radio and you knew what genre of music you were listening to by the sound. Back when if you wanted Country you listened to Alan Jackson or Pam Tilis. If you wanted Pop there was Whitney Houston, or Madonna and R&B there was Toni Braxton. Now you turn on the Radio and the only way to know what genre you’re listening to is by who’s singing. You’re on Country if you hear Brad Paisley. You’re on Pop if you hear Katy Perry and EMELI SANDÉ your listening to R&B but with people like Adele and Beyonce’s 7/11 listed in the R&B category who knows anymore?
-
I wish musicians would go back to making music. I just don’t mean going back to separating the sound like it used to be. I mean making music that one could just listen to. It’s all night club music. All synthesizers. Even country, the last type of music you could have counted on to be real music. They have gone that way. And it gets so frustrating to here everyone sound the same in no matter what genre music you are listening to. Everything is for the dance club circuit and nothing is for the just sit in your office/car/home and just listen music.
-
With all the music headed for the night club circuit it’s why people like George Strait retired, Vince Gill is playing at local bars and Alan Jackson is going on tours not even announced on the main Country Radio stations any more. Country has gone night club and I don’t mean night clubs that play country. I mean Clubs that spin like Beyonce or Katy Perry remixes. Even Blake Shelton knew this but because he’s one of them trying to hang on, like Keith Urban, he made Neon Light and admitted that he blended the old sound (back when country sounded country in the time he started) and the new sound of night club synthesizers (which is why in that particular song he repeats words for a sotra ‘fake echo’ sound you get with the new stuff.
-
I like watching kpop and jpop! LOL! I like it mainly cause the artists shows all their talents. =)
-
I could live with Nicki Minaj. She burned her bridge, with me, when she consistently made a fool out of herself on American Idol. I really like Celtic Woman. Those women have angelic voices and I love their harmony.
:heart:
-
Ima chris brown and trey songz fan and i listen to real r&b music because these artists today don't sing about love nomore and its sad
-
This is why I use my mp3 so much. It's my playlist, and therefore it's my rules. I seldom listen to commercial radio any more no matter what the format, and my mp3 is nice and portable and fits just perfectly into my pocket.
-
I listen to mostly country and music from the 60's-90's. I don't like modern rap and most modern hip-hop or pop. More importantly, I don't want my kids listening to it or repeating it. Luckily for me, my son's favorite artist is Michael Jackson and my daughter likes rock and metal from the 70's-90's.
-
Country Music doesn’t even sound Country anymore. So much so that the only new ‘artist’ that came out I even am willing to listen to is Florida Georgia Line. I wish somebody would bring Country Music back around to what it used to sound like. You know, something that George Strait or Alan Jackson would sing.
-
Marina and the Diamonds deserve more success. :( Her new songs are so good.
-
I like Taylor Swift, she grew on me
-
I respect why you like her, but I just don't really care for her music. That doesn't make me hate her though. Seeing what type of person she is while on American Idol...that makes me not care for her.
-
Just love Bruno Mars in Mark Ronson’s Uptown Funk. Couldn’t help but laugh. Especially with those curlers in his hair towards the back middle of the song.
-
I don’t mind Ed Sheeran’s Thinking outloud but I actually prefer Eleven year old Cheskino and his cover version better.
-
Honestly I thought Elle Goulding was ok until I heard Love me like you do. I think it’s her best song to date. And the ATB Remix is awesome!
-
Sugar by Maroon 5 is an ok song. I wouldn’t say it’s their worst but certainly not their best. But the music video for it…DEFINITELY their best Music video ever! Even if it was all staged. Showing up at random weddings was a great way to do the love song.
-
I really like FourFiveSeconds by Rihanna & Kanye West. Sir Paul McCartney on gutiar is phenomenal. I just wish they made him sing too.
-
I listen to music only. Many singers interpreting the same song can ruin the song entirely.
-
I have to say I really enjoy meghan trainor songs. They have a feel good rhythm I want to say almost like the ‘50’s or 60’s type of music. She’s totally a guilt pleasure. The type of artist you know everyone is listening to but won’t freely admit they listen and like.
-
I’ve been listening to George Strait’s the Cowboy Rides Away (the deluxe edition from Walmart) and it really saddens me. George strait is a pure as country comes and never lost his voice of the decades in which he sang. I recall an interview he once did for a magazine in which he said he would never retire as long as people want his music. Because he never changed his style to fit the sound country music is (sadly) taking he has retired. I am sorry to see him go because I miss the country sound—his sound. Now it all sounds like something to be played in a night club. You know, country sounds like pop, pop sounds like dance, dance sounds like Electronic etc. I’ve basically stopped listening to the radio for that reason. I hope I am around long enough to see music come full circle, you know music genres going back to sounding the way they are supposed to sound rather than whatever is the fad of that year. I will say one thing, I am not surprised at the people he had as his special guests. Besides the obvious choices, Vince Gill, Alan Jackson, Martina McBride, Faith Hill, he had true tested artists who’ve paid their dues and proved they’ve got staying power, though not as great has him, (after all there can only be 1 King George). Artists like Miranda Lambert, Eric Church, and Jason Aldean. All in all it is a great tribute to a great Artist and I just which he didn’t have to retire because with him goes the way country music was meant to sound. :sad1:
-
I like to listen to music. Thank You!
-
I am listening to Toni Braxton now, one of my all time favorites :)
-
I’ve been thinking about Barry Manilow verse Rod Stewart. I have to say that while Manilow has a smoother voice than Stewart who always sounded raspy like he smoked too many cigarttes, I actually prefer Stewart. The only thing I ever really like Manilow sing was copacabana. Stewart on the other hand, wow there were just so many songs I still enjoy like the Motown Song, Rhythm of my heart, Forever Young, Young Turks and Maggie May.
-
Somebody want to tell me why MTV this year nominated 7/11 by Beyonce for 5 awards where as Rihanna’s American Oxygen was only nominated for 1—and that for best song with a message? 7/11 was filmed like a home video of Beyonce just dancing around from her balcony to a hotel hallway where as Rihanna’s American oxygen actually shows historical clips of America. Why, when even vocally Rihanna’s song is better sung than Beyonce’s is American Oxygen not nominated for Best Video? Or even Best Pop video? I guess America really is dumbing down.
-
Nicki Minaj sucks and she is the worst female rapper of all time. Her messages and videos are filthy and for stupid people.
-
I’m enjoying Rita Ora’s I will never let you down. Her new song Poison isn’t bad. I don’t care for the music video to it. The thing with Rita is I just don’t think any of her songs will be as big as her first single Party and Bullsh**t. But the fact that she’s still around after three years is pretty good.
-
Chandelier by Sia I don’t much care for the song but Maddie Ziegler is a fantastic dancer. She needs more than just DanceMoms and a guest spot on Ellen. I think the majority of us that watch Chandelier is for her and to for Sia’s singing
-
I really like Cheerleader by OMI. While it’s too soon to say if he’s just going to be a one hit wonder Cheerleader is a great slow yet happy beat song to dance to. He takes his time with the lyrics and it just makes you feel good. It’s not rushed or loaded with electronic synths to make it sound like a machine is singing. I’m glad it went to number one for OMI.
-
Fight song by Rachel Patten is a great inspiring song but even with Taylor Swift’s help I don’t think it exploded as much as it could or should have. It just sort of fizzled for like two weeks and now on its way to being well forgotten.
-
Not sure I really care for Hey Mama by David Guetta. I really like Nicki Minaj stuff but I don’t know if she was just thrown in there for attention and Bebe Rexha has been in my radar but he doesn’t even bother to use her in the music video
-
Really not likening Cool for the Summer by Demi Lovato. I’ve even tried listening to a few remixes. It just doesn’t sound like a really summer song to me.
-
I put all the inspirational songs together in one playlist, you know songs like fireworks by Katy Perry, Battle Cry by Shontelle, Stand Up by Sugarland etc. Out of all of them the one I keep going back to is Courage by Orianthi feat. Lacey. While all the others, Even Rachel Platten is inspiring, nothing is more powerful than Courage.
-
No matter how many times I listen to Cecilla by Simon and Garfunkel or Sussudio by Phil Collins I can’t help but enjoy them. That is when you know a song is really good.
-
Say what you want about Madonna but the fact that she is still on the charts about forty years after she’s come out means there is only one reigning queen and its Madonna. Take that all you Taylor Swift and Katy Perry fans.
-
I love music; all except Rap and Opera! I used to listen to Country but haven't in a few years. I now listen mostly to Classic Rock although I do throw in different music too. When I'm home alone cleaning the house I put music on and play it pretty loud. Really gets me moving! lol
-
I like Nicki. Love her actually. I don't necessarily like ALL her songs but I like many of them and no matter what I respect her craft. She is a performer and a lot of her presentation that she gets flack for (the animated voices characters faces costumes) comes from her love of theater.
She grew up in a rough environment which she talks about on her more emotional tracks among them Autobiography which I love.And now look at her. She's got plenty of naysayers but she's still an internationally recognized artist. How many female rappers can say that?
One of my favorite things she did was hire someone she just happened to watch on youtube and gave her a makeup job. Her reason being that she knows what it's like to be broke and not getting due recognition for your talent.
People try to put her in a box but she's too multifaceted for that. She's street, she's pop, she's artsy, she's assertive not aggressive, sensitive, funny, business savvy, she is beautiful beautiful beautiful. I just adore her. Buy The Pink Print on iTunes :heart:
-
I'm for real rock & roll like pat benater&meatloaf!
-
i like a lot of different types of music but if i cant understand a word you are saying then im not going to listen to you.
-
It makes me so mad when people make fun of Kelly Clarkson’s weight. She really wasn’t all that thin to begin with but to compare her to Taylor Swift is just stupid.
-
I love Shut up and Dance by Walk the Moon but I honestly don’t see those guys having another big hit like that one. Hopefully I’m wrong but then…remember Calloway? Exactly!
-
Check out Delta Goodrem's new song "Wings." Really great song. <3
-
One Direction just pisses me off. First they lose one of their members because he wants to spend more time with his family. (Which honestly I am thinking, ‘didn’t you know you’d be away from them if you got famous?’) And now they want to take a break. They just broke SIX world record. (Most popular dance game track- What Makes You Beautiful has been viewed more than 40 million times on Just Dance 4. Most subscribers for a band on Youtube- Almost 16 million subscribers. Most followers on Twitter for a band- Just more than 23 million followers. Highest debut by a British band on the US singles chart - What Makes You Beautiful ended up on number three. First group to debut at number one with their first four albums in the US. And number six, first British group to debut at number one in the US with their debut album.) What band in their right mind would walk away after that? Honestly, I wouldn’t be loyal to them when they ‘decide’ to come back. They clearly can’t cut it the way the old bands did. That’s why The Rolling Stones and Aerosmith are still around and they won’t be. Not if they can just ditch the fans and the music because they can’t make the grade—or rather made the grade and decided it’s too hard to continue to keep it up.
-
I think she is over hyped pop garbage that gets played on the radio is driving good music in the toilet.
-
This is silly but I really love Wildest Dreams by Brandy B-Rocka Norwood, teen queen of the 90s, sweet voiced angel with heavenly harmonies. What do I get when I search for it? Taylor Swift. Taylor with her struggling vocals and long back. Annoying.
-
I have to go back to my roots Sawyer brown I can watch any time
-
I don't particularly enjoy her music or agree with her message. Not saying it doesn't have an audience or a niche market, but I'm not part of it.
-
How is this talking about music? ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) 8)
-
Janet Jackson "Unbreakable" 4 DAYS LEFT! :) :) :) :) :) :) :in-love:
-
I am amazed at child prodigies that sing and/or play an instrument.
I like music from the 50's.
Classical is soothing.
The words to songs are important.
-
she isn't bad..
i hate music period where "dirty" stuff are being spoken to kids and teens.. at least in my opinion
-
I can barely understand this Nicki Minaj ( an idiot) and singing and rapping is also terrible as well.
-
Kylie Minogue is coming out with a new Christmas album next month! So excited. http://www.kylie.com/christmas/
-
I just saw Ariana Grande’s ‘Focus’ music video. I can’t help but think why would someone with beautiful hair destroy it with a color that looks like a mix between lilac and grey? She doesn’t even wear it well. It looks like the hair was died or it’s a wig.
-
My alltime favorite artist has to be Ozzy Osbourne, he has some killer tracks and I am eagerly anticipating a new album here after the Black Sabbath tour.
-
can't believe stations were already playing Christmas music and it wasn't even Halloween yet!
-
Sadly, singers aren't praised for their voice, but by their style. There aren't many talented singers any more.
-
I think music sucks these days, and I don't care. >:(
-
Kylie Minogue comes out with a Christmas album on the 10th. :D So excited!
-
Elle King in Ex’s and Oh’s sounds like cross between Adele and Megan Tainor.
-
I do like “what do you mean” by Justin Bieber. I just don’t like his new haircut. Why does a guy who’s not bad looking always have to do awful things to their nice hair?
-
I think Nicki Minaj is one of those artists you either love or hate. I actually love her because she raps and sings. Usually a singer sacrifices one for the other and because she can do both, and does both that’s what makes her different and why she is so popular. I mean that’s why I like her so much.
Hi! I agree, Nicki is a rare breed. However, drake also sings and raps...and does it very well. When artists like jah rule and Lauryn Hill sang and rapped they were looked down upon. smh. Guess the world wasn't ready. I'm happy they are now.

I mostly listen to country music. I love most music except rap. I love beach music and music from the 50's and 60's.
-
LOVVEE MUSIC
-
I only listen to Christian Music, a lot of favorite Christian Singer's I like!!
-
I listen to all types of genres. But my favorite is country and pop. Rap just isn't my thing, so much violence in the world today, the music isn't helping.
-
I don’t mind R&B but I just can’t take Alessia Cara and her song Here.
-
I really like Hailee Steinfeld with Love Myself. I know it’s one of those cheesey pop songs with a message like Rachael Platten’s fighter but it’s got a nice modern-day rhythm.
-
Really loving OMI. Between his ‘Cheerleader’ and ‘Hula Hoop’ he creates these feel good songs that remind me of Bobby McFerrin and his Don't Worry Be Happy. No matter how many times you hear his music you always smile. They rhythm is just soft and light and the lyrics just flow so smoothly. Unlike other artists that make rather ‘heavy’ music, OMI’s got that light summertime feel. I hope his next album is just as good as his first.
-
Can't wait to here Adele's new album! :peace: :thumbsup: :) :)
-
Every time I I watch the Music video to Sugar (feat. Francesco Yates) by Robin Schulz I can’t help but laugh. I don’t know which I like more the actual song or the cop driving all crazy down the roads.
-
Just discovered Little Mix’s Black Magic. I love it! I’ve always been a fan of their music from the start but Black Magic is my ‘new’ favorite song by them. I play both the original and the Cahil mix. Both are great.
-
Just heard Meghan Trainor’s Title song. It’s amazing! She soo needs to release it as a single!
-
I thinks that she uses sex to sell music. no talent there. Adelle is more talented.
-
I am loving that Nathaniel Rateliff S.O.B song! Also loving the band Highly Suspect. Those are my faves right now.
-
give me simon and garfunkel or sawyer brown any day over new artist.

I don't like it myself but you can in joy it go a head and lisen to it
-
Didn’t care much for Eyes Shut by Years and Years but after hearing it for a while it definitely grew on me.
-
Really loving Avicii and so glad they partnered with Zac Brown. It combines my love of the ‘Dance Electronic’ music with my love of country.
-
I enjoyed Trouble by Avicii. I don’t know if he’s released it but if he hasn’t he totally should!
-
Music these days are terrible and Nicki Minaj is a terrible person and a singer or rapper.
-
So excited for new music this month! Elton John and Vince Gill are coming out with a new album. Plus, we're getting a new All Saints album soon.
-
nicki minaj is not my favorite person or singer.

I was listening to ‘Think of you,’ the duet between Chris Young and Cassadee Pope and I was thinking it would have sounded much better with Carrie Underwood. The reason being that Chris Young is such a power house vocalist that he drowns Cassadee because she has a light, soft voice—though not as soft as Alison Krause. Poor Cassadee has to sing twice as hard to be heard over Chris’ vocals. I’m not saying that Cassadee can’t sing, because she can, and she does have a nice voice against Chris’ when they harmonize softly, which is why she would have been better off as a background singer in it than his duet. Carrie, on the other hand, is a Vocal Power House, I mean just listen to her version of Independence Day—a remake of a song from another Vocal Power House Martina McBride. You can’t compare those two women to Cassadee vocally. Cassadee, I think was chosen strategically rather than vocally because she’s the ‘next new big thing’ in country music and Chris, well look how long he’s been out that with all the comments underneath the video being more for her than him it was well chosen. And all those that defend Cassadee in the song (in the comments underneath the music video) claiming she is perfect for him are her fans getting defensive not open-minded music fans that have an ear for music because if they did they would actually hear what is taking place and that is Chris drowning out Cassadee. Again, I’m not saying Cassadee can’t sing, she just can’t sing with someone who has a powerful voice, and she knows she does not which is why her songs are great because they match her vocally where as this matches Chris perfectly and she has to sing her butt off to match him where Carrie would not have because she would just naturally match him.

Each to their own everyone has individual tastes in music or genres or eras. I grew up in the 60's so I like classic or 60's, 70's rock the best. A little of the 80's to the present but can't say much personally for rap - not my thing but like I said each to their own. Music is great I know that I listen to you tube videos every day.
-
I'm digging Justin Bieber right now. I love his voice and glad he's turning his life around.
-
I had read a Loretta Lynn article where she was asked which new country female singer she liked. She said Kacey Mustgraves, which of course would have been the one she would pick hands down. Kacey is the only female artist out there that sounds traditionally country.
-
Boo I think that type of music is garbage, but that is just my personal opinion. Music is to each his/her own.
-
Kelly Clarkson's slower version of "Piece By Piece" is so heartbreaking. Her Idol performance last week made me cry so much.
-
I like Adelle and her music. Not a fan of rap. I am a true fan of R&B.
-
i like all types of music myself........... :peace:
-
I like it when I "discover" an artist I never heard before. My new find is a man that calls himself Avid Dancer. There's something about his voice that's so fresh and melodic. I agree there are a lot of great artists on YouTube.
-
My sister loves her for the same reason but, I on the other just don't get her/ like her ><.
-
The only music I listen to is Christian Music!!
-
Never ceases to amaze me how much I still enjoy the older music every time I hear it much better than anything I hear now. I’m just not impressed with any new artist of any genre. They come across to me as either rip-offs of older artists or just ‘the next big thing’ that no one listens to as soon as another ‘next big thing’ comes out—or worse, they’re just one hit wonders with no staying power despite having it easier with the internet than older artists who had to pay their dues.
-
I can't stand pop music. Almost all of it has no heart at all. Most of it is just record companys making a whole lot of money off someone who is expendable. >:(
-
I get copy right laws but the ones YouTube has are ridiculous! I thought it was a website that would allow you to share videos or songs no matter whether you personally created them or not! As long as you aren’t making money from, say posting a Beyonce song but just want to share it what is the harm?
-
While I might agree that unofficial DJ’s, such as my personal favorite DJ Linuxis, remixing songs already copyright, for example remixing Adele’s Hello, then trying to make money off it, since technically it isn’t exactly yours, violates copyright laws, I don’t think it’s right to block them (as in the cast of YouTube). They are only trying to build a fan base and if they are blocked they can’t really ‘get the word out’ to be picked up by a legit music company since now-a-days that’s how it’s done.
-
I like so many different kinds of music, it's hard to narrow down. I love finding new artists or music from other countries. I like watching the videos on Youtube for this, it's great.

I'm an old rocker and for me music, in general and speaking of 'groups, is more of a copycat industry. The individuality of bands today is gone. The groups today sound so much alike and in many cases are on the scene for a year or two and then slowly slide out of the limelight. The musicians can't be blamed or at fault for this as the industry pretty much 'dictates' what you're gonna sound like, and if you don't, chances are you're not gonna be around very long. Those who are old enough or listen to classic rock groups from the mid 60s through the 70s. All of them had their own, unique sound as well as most of their tunes. I've been behind the drums for 50 years this December, and I hate to admit it, but I couldn't tell you 3 songs from 10% of the top 40 artists on the charts today!
-
I really only listrn to gospel music, but I like R & B as well.
-
So glad Martina McBride came out with a new song. I love ‘Reckless’ and it's just a perfect to her song collection.
-
She is a really talented artist
-
New All Saints album next Friday. Yaaaay.

I’m a HUGE Martina McBride fan and when her latest album Reckless came out on April 29th I ran to target. Now the Target website said they were in stock. I looked all over Target and there wasn’t even a space designated for it. I went to the next closest target to where I live and they not only had a picture of the album but a slot for it, but it was empty. I talked to a worker and she scanned the barcode under the slot and said they didn’t have any showing in the warehouse. By this point I was frustrated and disappointed so I went to Best Buy (which was not far from that Target) and they had all you wanted. Note to Self: if it’s not a Target exclusive go to Best Buy
-
I like nicki minaj in features but not much with her own albums. I haven't given them much of chance though.
-
I could go on and on for days about music....and how I'm not a fan of a lot of the music/artists that are out there these days...
-
She has a great body, I must admit, but her Morality needs to change.....
-
Delta Goodrem's new album "Wings of the Wild" is very, very good. Also been loving Kylie Minogue's version of "This Wheel's on Fire," which is the theme for the upcoming Absolutely Fabulous movie (out on the 22nd.)
-
The first time I heard Justin Timberlake's new song (Can't stop the feeling), I rang my sister in the UK and asked her if she'd heard it. She loves Justin Timberlake, but she hadn't heard the new song. Then, a few days later, my other sister sent us both a text to ask if we'd heard the new Justin Timberlake tune, and attached a link for us to watch. I don't speak to my older sister as often as I should, or as often as I'd like, but that song must have been a good one for her to send us both a text, don't you think?
-
My kids got me hooked on Meghan Trainor .... I love her songs and so far her songs send a positive message
-
Britney Spears' new song is so good, but I'd rather have a version without that pasty "rapper." Ugh.
-
I love music, all genre's. My favorite would have to be pop and country. I am always listening to Backstreet Boys, NKOTB, Tim McGraw, Meghan Trainor too. Surprisingly though I found this group I believe their name is Blue October he sings the song Bleed Out, absolutely love it and it's a rock group.
-
I love music! Anything rock! My favorite band is Social Distortion. Music gets me through the day.
