Artists you don't listen to

[Yui]

well, i thought saying, "artists you HATE" would be mean so i decided to go with artists that you don't listen to very much. also no critisizing

[Jessica]

Which ones do you not like, Yui? I can't think of any off-hand. I don't listen to much country music, except Johnny Cash, The Dixie Chicks (rarely) and a few songs by others.

jess

[Yui]

i think Vanessa Carlton or Rihanna. They sing weird-ish.

[Dallas]

I don't listen to Rihanna either. I don't really get her appeal. Others I don't listen to: The Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus.

[Yui]

i don't know much about them; but the only thing i know is that Miley Cyrus is in a TV show called Hannah Montana. I only have one friend that has their CDs and that's how i know who they are.

[Jessica]

I don't listen to any of your "don't listen to"s, Yui or Dallas. I cross most genres in my listening pleasures, but not that far.

[Elena]

I don't listen to country music (not popular here anyway) but otherwise, I'd listen to most stuff and have music on at most times. I even have to be updated and know the latest MTV idols to keep up with mu pupils at school- They are amazed when they realize that an 'old woman' like me knows who The Jonas Brothers are! :)

[Jessica]

I listen to some hip hop, Aratrika, but not a lot of it lately. Mostly, I listen to a few artists, the Sugarhill Gang, some Snoop Dogg, Mary J Blige...just depends. I used to listen to a lot of rap and hip hop.

[Jessica]

Aratrika, I like alternative but I never know who to try. I just enjoy listening to it when others play it...and with my great memory, I forget who it is immediately.

[Just]

Steally Dan...yuk!

I can't help but agree...

[Marts]

Hip hop, rap, R&B, I don't know anything about those genres just a few hits maybe, even though most of those around me listen to them.

GIVE ME ALTERNATIVE!!

...and some rock...

...and some punk...

...and that 80's pop stuff...

[Dallas]

I don't listen to artists that shriek and whine. For example, Beyonce.

[Carole]

Hey now, if you're going to hate on Steely Dan, at least spell it right. I say this on the part of Steely Dan fans not present, because I cannot count myself in that number, but I think spelling is hardly an undue respect to any musical group.
And I don't listen to any pop or rap by choice, but my sister listens to them all the time and it drives me CRAZY!!!

What do you like, Thinker?

Never thought of Beyonce as shrieking. Who else would you consider as shrieking and whining?

[Dallas]

I think it must have something to do with watching her perform. She gives me a headache with her 'dance' moves that look like convulsions. She does a fair amount of shrieking, though.

Mariah Carey shrieks instead of singing. I used to like her in the beginning, but now she has to throw in too many trademark squeals.

[Yui]

Yeah and also Leona Lewis

[Sarahcorn]

I don't like Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, and any types of heavy metal

[Yui]

who's demi laovato?

[Sarahcorn]

She starred in the movie Camp Rock

Mariah Carey does that thing with her voice--the way it wobbles deliberately when she holds the high notes. Make sense?

I definitely agree she shrieks.

Who? Apparently, I don't know many shrieky artists since a lot of them mentioned, I never heard of.

[Yui]

Well, she's not really shrieking, but she's like moaning in the middle of the song. Instead of saying "ooh" she's saying "ughhh" and it's really weird. she sings bleeding love.

Who are you referring to, Yui?

[Yui]

sorry, i was talking about Leona Lewis to you, Jessica.

[Dallas]

I'm a closet Leona Lewis fan. Yep, I said it. "Keep bleeding, I keep keep bleeding, love..."

[Yui]

it's not a bad song, and i hear it on the radio all the time

[Dallas]

I like "Better in Time" best, but it was played too much as well. She has a good voice and I hope she does some more atypical music on her second album.

[Yui]

oh! i love that song!

[Yui]

i like walk away by kelly clarkson

[Dallas]

I used to ignore Taylor Swift. Now I really like her. "Love Story" is very mainstream, but I still love it~

[Yui]

yes!!!! i know!!!!!!!! taylor swift rocks but i used to hate her! now i am a huge fan...

[Dallas]

Yea!!! All the songs on her new one are good! I like "Tell Me Why" and "Hey Stephen"

[Matthieu]

J'adore Steely Dan.

[Yui]

Steely Dan is my dad's favorite

[Dallas]
