1.)I commend you Bliss, for being a teenager with some musical taste! Most don't have it. I hate MTV, and am not involed in any way with the drek it produces or puts in it's rotation.
2.)It is a formula that's been around since the 50's, only then it was original, AND it sounded better.
3.)What happened to Maryrrf's DJ has been happening a lot lately. Too many are turning a deaf ear to music that is not homogenized and pasturized... It's all milk.
4.)There's no passion or meaning other than "look at my fake tits" to BE had in Pop Music of today.
5.)When you post on a thread, please give something constructive, not just a "If they like it, they like it" Short-cut To Thinking reply.
6.)It IS easy to write a hit, especially if you do like most of these MTV-motivated songwriting teams (yes, teams, I'm talking about 6/7 people, Not 2 like in the old days) and write the same song over and over with (slightly) different lyrics.
