Singing Along

This may have been from being in this class and when we listen to music we just sit and listen but ive noticed that its started to bother me sometimes when people sing along to songs. I dont think its the fact that they are singing with the song, i think its that when they do it loud enough theyre completely distracting from the song. Also i think part of it is that the people that usually sing along really loud to songs arent the best singers.

Hair Metal

To be honest hair metal day wasnt as bad as I was expecting. I'm not gunna download it ever of course but it wasnt painful. The worst part for me was just watching the guys perform. It was weird enough were it distracted fromm the song, so I guess the song could have been really terrible and i wouldnt have noticed. Also to my surprise i recognized a few songs.

Along with censured versions

Probably the stupidest song i have ever heard is "My Hitta." Its the clean version of "My Nigga" which is dumb enough as it is, but cleaning it up to my hitta is even worse. In the original version they say nigga like 11 times in the first 30 seconds so thats 11 times they have to say hitta right after each other. Thats not even a word so the little sense that the song made before just lost everything that made sense about it.

Censured versions

I honestly dont get the point of censured versions of songs. I know songs with a lot of cuss words of course cant be listened to by like kids and stuff, but why are you getting a song that has a lot of cuss words in the first place if you dont want to hear those words? It actually takes away a lot from the song when theres random pauses or they put made up words that sound basically the same as the cuss word just with like a different beginning. I know some songs have put chich instead of bitch which doesnt even make sense.

John Legend

This was problem from all my main stream radio listening but i really like john legend now. My favorite song by him is All of Me, and i think its because 1. the lyrics sound good together and 2. the guy can actually sing. I think most of the stuff played now a days is super auto tuned which makes for a pretty poor live perfomance usually but John Legend sounds like he can really sing and would be good live.

Radio

Lately ive realized ive been listening to the radio a lot more recently, which i wouldnt say is like a bad thing but i dont think its a good thing. I play music all night while i sleep and i wake up to the radio on kase 101 listening to the bobby bones show. I think since i started waking up to that i started to like country more and since i dont really buy country i listen to it on the radio. Then when there are commercials on ill flip to other stations and i guess since that became kinda a habit i started listening to the songs on the "main stream" radio more.

***flawless performance

I listened to parts of beyonces new album when it first came out and i did like it but i didnt actually download any of the songs until now. I went to the Mccallum Dance Major's dance show on Saturday with one of my friends who's a Musical Theatre Major. The dances were really cool and of course the dancers were really talented since they had to like apply and stuff to get in. The second to last dance was a hip hop dance to ***Flawless and thats probably when i realized i really liked the song. It was really fun to watch cause the dancers were so good and the music matched perfectly.

Nirvana

This was one of those bands that i was surprised that i didnt hate. My brothers all definitely listened to Nirvana while they still lived at home, but ive never listened to it myself. The first time i probably heard some of those songs was probably on guitar hero or blasting from my brothers rooms. I was surprised about how many songs i recognized.
