music makes you lose control

to follow up...........i downloaded the new(?????) fergie album last night. all rise for the dutchess!!thank god for mp3 host sites (and also good connectivity).
i now have the billboard charts at my fingertips, although that's not saying much these days. alicia keys fails to impress with "no-one" [hard to believe now that she sang "falling"], "crank that" by soulja boy is a travesty of a ghetto "hood" track by a dirt-rich playa asking what must be the most painfully repetitive and self-defeating questions since the spanish inquisition,( about his "switch-style", no less) and even one republic wouldn't have made it to their no.2 peak without piggybacking on supernova producer timbaland.............

WTF???? what is the world coming to, when meaningless songs are chart-topping singles and emo-punk-rock struggles to retain a top-50 listing?? ah, for the heady days of nu-metal, when linking park and limp bizkit stormed the charts with raw vocals on smooth hooks, throwing out 90's studio pop with absurd ease......and now suddenly avril wants to be everyone's girlfriend, akon keeps scoring with tracks even if they get censored, and the crazy frog seems adorable compared to enrique's familiar "sensitive", "tortured" voice as he spouts banal words on estrangement(AGAIN!!!) that are becoming increasingly unconvincing. AARRGGHH!!! someone bring the music back.........please!

only beyonce is still on her A-game, with an album release that sizzles and smokes of assertiveness, attitude, and amazingly likeable song-writing skills that leave lttle to no room for argument. women always did like it on top.........enjoy.........
