I'll be honest though and say I've enjoyed all of Avril's albums, even The Best Damn Thing.

So I'm excited for the lame and bratty single that will hopefully lead into an awesome album *.*

Whenever avril is in a relationship she makes that annoying happy pop music. Let me go listen to Under My Skin and lament.

I hope it's just a collection of Nickelback covers that have been renamed appropriately.

THERE'S TO NEVER GROWING is actually a cover of PHOTOGRAPH.

Also, I'd like to think that the album is going to be more Under My Skin-esque based on the team that worked on the album but yeah, the title of that song is not encouraging. Anyway, I'm happy regardless *.*

ETA: BTW, Lana basically confirmed she wrote music for the Great Gatsby on twitter. WTF, my faves tweet in the same day and I'm not aware of it. Bye.

OMG WHAT??? That would make me a bit more excited for that movie, I love the book but the last trailer and the news that Jay-fucking-Z of all peeps was doing the soundtrack made me rapidly lose interest.

Have you guys seen this Pink video yet with Nate from fun. I've heard the song before but after seeing the video I think i might add to my itunes playlist. o.o Don't really like the video but the song just grew on me.

Hrm. I actually really like it.

This is my first time seeing it. I still hate Fun, but the song is pretty good.

You hate fun. of all things?

You confuse me Trigger <3

Jessie Ware - Live at KCRW (40 minute set)

Slaying your faves and she doesn't need stupid Grammys either.

Thanks for posting this. Jessie is so good live. I might have to see her show if she ever visits the ATL.

Hate is probably too a strong a word. Their songs have been everywhere in 2012, and I just feel like their overexposed. I felt the same way about Kings of Leon when "Use Somebody" was big. I know in about 6 months from now when they drop off the pop radar I'll fall for them.

Uhh that wasn't even a good one. Then again judging from your tastes you only go for mediocre music by short white asexuals. I see why Cisus intimidates you.

Drag ha to the Lotus pits.

Lol yeah. I disliked them when We Are Young was rolling (probably because Kelly's Stronger was rolling at the time and I never like the competition). Then I got their album for 1$ from amazon and enjoyed it well enough. I am not a "fan" but I like them.

The duet with Pink is flawless. Listened to it a good 10 times already.

It is far better than I expected. I need to check out P!nk's album at some point.
 
I would judge your tastes, but alas, I do not know them nor do I care to. Except for that wide shouldered, strong jawed Wal-Mart parking lot reject.

Even though you are bringing salty Rice Cakes to this joke buffet, yaaaas @ You recognizing her jawline that has earned her several spots in Vogue and as the exclusive muse to Givenchy.

Now Trigger just because I don't stan for everyone as you do does not mean I do not have my faves. They are still Shakira, Kelly, and yes, even that sunken ship known as Kesha.

I used to think she was hot for that brief period in middle school when I struggled with my identity.

American Idol truly has become the Nicki Minaj show

After Wednesday's group rounds, which decimated the field of Idol wannabes, the boys last night had one more chance to sing for their suppers and prove that they are live-show ready. While all the judges (except Nicki) slept through the proceedings, a few people did well, but no incredible standouts emerged.
Nicki was on a roll last night.
After Papa Peachez failed to step up, she told him, "That flame is burned out. I'm so disappointed," then hastened to add, "I still love you." But that's probably not enough to cling to at night. While Nicki may have sounded harsh to those she was dismissing, she correctly pointed out, "If you didn't fight for your life tonight, you should be pretty upset with yourself."

Week after week, non-stop praise of King Minaj. It's safe to say she is the most iconic female MC of all time. Top ten hits, #1 albums, sold out shows, star of the highest rated show on television. Who else?

I thought American Idol was bombing

The ratings are down about the same amount that they were last season. (Roughly down 20% season over season).

The quality is way up so far though so who cares?

EDIT- I won't even attempt a Grammy prediction list. Their standards are all over the place. Is it about quality? Ubiquity? Amount of money shuffled behind the scenes? Who knows with them.

Its who the voters LIKE the most. This has always been the case.

I am fine with it. No one is ever going to be happy no matter who wins.
