Here's what I've had stuck in my head for the past hour, thanks to working at Suzy Shier:
For the record, this is the first time I've ever seen the video for this song. And you can call me old fashioned or a prude or whatever, but I think the producers had a field day making SEVENTEEN-YEAR-OLD Miley look like she's 25. I didn't dance around like that when I was 17. I didn't point and wave to older dudes who were gawking at me. I bet the bearded guy wearing aviators 27 seconds in is kicking himself now, knowing that he checked out a girl who isn't even legal yet. But whatever. the point is, this song sucks and it wont leave me alone. I dare Miley to sing this song without lipsynching or using auto-tune. If she can pull it off without sounding like a bag of feral cats (which she kind of sounds like anyway, despite the wonders of sound-editing technology) I might give her some credit.
I actually watched an interview with her the other day where she admitted that she a) didn't write the song and b) doesn't even know what songs Jay-Z sings. So when she sings about how a Jay-Z song played on the radio while she was taking a TAXI to Hollywood for the first time, not only is it NOT her song, but she wouldn't know a Jay-Z lyric if it hit her in the face. Okay girl, I know you're young, but if you're going to sing a song, you should probably know what you're singing about. One word: Credibility. Now go put some clothes on before someone calls the Pedobear.
I just wish that I could have something more substantial running through my ears and into my brain on a daily basis. This is the reason why I can't watch MuchMusic anymore, because it's all the same thing. Catchy songs featuring some cute young thing but where is the actual talent?
Fellow bloggers, PLEASE suggest to me some GOOD music to listen to, with the hopes of pushing Miley, Britney, The Pussycat Dolls, and all those other pop puppets out of my head. I'll love you forever.
