Well, after popping in a VERY old VHS I had from 2001/2002 I'd like to think that in 2004 -- MTV was eating the HELL out of their bunion and corn infested feet; To blacklist an artist who they themselves call the pioneer of their video age not only for women but entertainers in general and bringing in viewers to the station...how fickle the music industry is. When are we going to truly appreciate our icons and legends? I mean REALLY appreciate them. Not just give them ONE award when they turn 60 and call it a day. I mean, Madonna gets played once in awhile, not enough for what she has helped make MTV. Same for Janet, Michael, Prince, etc.. I don't care if they have nothing relevant out either. That's the problem today -- excluding the very few people who are innovative today (hoes, eat dirt cause I'm about to say BEYONCE!)-- there is CRAP in music and television entertainment these days. I mean, I would like to see Goldfrapp and Brazilian Girls get a shot on MTV Hits -- more Jill Scott, play Amel Larrieux, Everything But The Girl, Annie Lennox.. what the hell! GREAT MUSIC! Not this bullshit Jock Strap Brothers and Pon De4head - Rihanna. I don't care how many haircuts they give the girl, how many nipple rings, tattoos, wigs, weaves, and hair colors -- she will never be a Janet Jackson, a Beyonce, a Whitney, a Madonna, NO! That's a travesty. The Jonas Brothers will never be an NSYNC or Backstreet Boys -- those two groups could sing, okay. And look at Justin Timberlake..not one of those brothers are going to be a Justin. And Miley Cyrus I don't know what the hell that is. I mean, these kids today don't KNOW music. I grew up with SOOOO much variety in my music collection. By three, I was a fan of Janet, Michael, Mariah, Simply Red, Eurythmics, Led Zepplin, The Beatles, Marvin Gaye... Y'Know I work at the YMCA and these kids don't know who ANY of those people are -- besides Michael Jackson but they know NONE of his music and think Janet was a woman he married. Chile, what?! It makes me want to slap a mother. Really. I really wish MTV and VH1 would apply the names of their networks to what they air. MTV -- MUSIC Television VH1 -- VIDEO HITS ONE Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
