Title: The Human Headline
Post by: froars on January 29, 2005, 10:33:03 AM
No, not Jana lol
I’m sick of Delta Goodrem = been sick of her since she started.
But now I’m listening to some video program on tellie this morning for the first time in about 20 years lol and I hear her new song and she sounds just the same as all the other crap she’s delivered
She is an Olivia Newton-John reincarnate – a pretty girl who can hold a tune, but to me if it wasn’t for her looks, she would not have a following based on her vocals
Exactly the same as Olivia – an ordinary singer who sang ordinary songs IMO
I know little girls like Delta and little and big boys like her lol - but would they actually go out and buy her music?

And I also think Eminem and his like should be eliminated in the nicest possible way
I hate the way they butcher other people’s work – Like Toy Soldiers, for example
Boring, no talent hack who’s not worthy of me pinching his music.

I actually don't mind Delta.  At least she isn't tarty and sleazy like Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera.  Love the dress Delta wears in the "Mistaken Identity" film clip.

Delta + Philippoussis = Took it every which way

She tries to act sweet and innocent but come on, she went out with Mark Philippoussis FFS. Even I'd be shocked at the positions she was in.  :help

Must say I agree with Moi's assessment of her music. Music nowadays is 99% publicity and 1% talent and so she thrives in today's market. I grant her the 1 percent talent, but that's about it.

As for Eminem, never been a fan of him, but I grant him that he says some funny and relevant stuff in his lyrics, but he's basically turning into an industry hooker like the people he sends up in his lyrics and film clips.

And I thought this was going to be about Derryn Hinch on "Dancing with the Stars" :rollin :rollin

But beautifully said Moi - Eminem is a DUD and the Weakest Link - goodbye ;D

I don't mind covers of songs if they're done well, but Eminem is crap.  For instance, Rolf Harris' cover of Stairway to Heaven (errrr kidding)  :rollin  And Madonna's pretty ordinary attempt at American Pie, to name a couple. 

And i don't generally like women singers anyway with a few exceptions.  Lauryn Hill has done some great covers - never thought i'd hear a female sing Redemption Song so well - but she does a good live version with Ziggy.

Eminem is cool - How many of you dudes have listened to any of his CD's - must admit the point about him becoming what he mocks is true and that is sad - But he still has some pretty good music. (Dont like toy soldiers much though)

And dont even try and pigeon hole my music tastes here - I have everything from Sade - Metallica & Pink Floyd - the Pixies

And Delta Goodrem is a slut - just hides it well (well not actually) .So much for the girl next door - most of the teeny boper music buyers are such suckers !
