I thinks its funny....but not useful...She definitely came out of left field with that one. I'm a bit suprised she did it. I would have thought it was a morning show prank, but alanis?
wow....
wow....
Alanis is practicing viral video 
It's a wonderful marketing tactic that more artists really need to exploit, look at how Ok Go became a big scene practically in a few weeks to a unique video with TREADMILLS

I do a middle school regularly twice a year and they love our company... so nope.. no weird names by middle schoolers, LOL. I did get called a "nerd" by some kid who didn't know I was the DJ.
He started busting a freestyle rap at me and thought he was great.
What he didn't know is that I am avid at freestyling and quickly schooled him back. Funny, he wasn't laughing anymore, but everyone else was.

Just showing you a different point of view on American Music.....How we have so dumbed down everything.
Wouldnt it be cool to find a performer that doesnt swear and have to edited versions?
Or people that play a real instrument? Or name me one rock band that can play a dancebale guitar solo...? Give me a My Sharona guitar dance lick.....from Coldplay or audioslave or anybody????

Hmm... I believe Eric Clapton, a fantastic musician, did a song called "Cocaine."
Let's talk about a classic rock song with the lyrics "WHO THE F*** ARE YOU?"
There is also Twisted Sister, another great group, with a song called "Under the Blade." Kinky.
Let's fast forward to today's generation.
Alicia Keys is a superb musician who plays the piano and has a voice to die for.
Christina Aguilera has another beautiful voice that sounds just as great live.
Jonathan Smith, AKA Lil Jon, a beatsmith who is part of this "dumbed-down" music, creates the hottest beats and has ventured into new musical territory with even fatter basslines and odd uses of flute instrumentation.
Ne-Yo, another musician of this "moton generation" is a hot producer at the age of 17/18 who has written lyrics and instrumentals for artists such as Riahanna, Mario Vasquez, Mario, and Ciara.
There went your theory.

Funny you mention Ne-Yo, I have a deep respect for this artist/producer. Just hearing how he name came to be dazzles me. Hear the flanger at the beginning of sexy love? Almost sounds like the matrix, I believe that was no better of a way than to show, hell ya i'm ne-yo, here's my track! It's almost like a signature of his style...
I do like unfaithful, however hearing riananna sing it really rubs me in the wrong way however

Sounds to me like you know more about him than I do... share what you know.. he's the next Brian McKnight!
Wow, I bow down to your knowledge about rap, hip-hop, and r&b Ace.
Really I got most of it from this wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ne-yo
I just read the article before you posted it.
I'm gonna calll and cross-reference that Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg credit. He may have done the beat, but the lyrics? That's doubtful-- most rappers write their own stuff.

The "Under The Knife" song was about plastic surgery.
Alicia Keys is a second rate piano player with an average caberet voice.
We all know what Christina's best assets are, and it aint her voice.
Lil' John is no where close to being called a musician. Creating "beats" on a computer is not music, it is simply knowing how to hit a couple keys.
Ne-Yo and the others you have mentioned lack one thing: any type of musical ability whatsoever.
Patrick,
I'm a beatsmith, too--- does this mean I shouldn't be a musician? Sure, there are programs out there that you can make beats with just your PC, but real beatsmiths use keyboards and drums. Timbaland and Dr. Dre will actually record live band instrumentations to create their beats.
This is like a bride saying all we do is hit play.
And Alicia Keys is second rate? Let's hear one of your clients and let's compare.

Folks,
As per requests by some members I've done a little D&C in this one. It is possible to discuss any topic without resorting to name-calling.
Carry on.
