1 Raykon dated Katy Perry?

2 Bunk time

No pics of said cupcake bra?


Topic.  Fail.

4 Dude, I got the video up, numbskull.

5
Woops sorry, found the link.

WIN!

6 And yet, Ms Perry is engaged to one of the most self-admitted sleaze bag gruggis ever, in the form of the talent-free Russell Brand.  She's got some huevos...

7 The skanky pop culture of today,combined with ominous rumblings from the sharia savages,makes this a bad time to grow up as a little girl.Not too great a time to grow up as anything in fact.

8 What the hell is a "gruggi"?  I meant druggie.

9 3 No pics of said cupcake bra?

That's why you click on the links..

/Just decadent, Perry.

10
Who is Russell Brand?  Only reason I know who Katy Perry is because she looks like Zoey Deschanel.

11 Why are you posting this?

12 Wake me when one of these edgy artists bashes Islam.  You'd think someone saying we should be sexually liberated would realize that they should be mocking Islam instead of Catholics.

So Katy's right.  Cheap and lazy.  But it's pretty obvious shit, and Katy is being a cheap and lazy critique.

13 6 Oh God I hate that fucker!

14 But do snakes make her nipples hard?

15 I wasn't really paying much attention during bible study, but is it really a sin to inspire impure thoughts in another? I guess Katy Perry is stepping into a moral gray area for money while Ms. Gaga is insulting someone's religious beliefs for cash and fame. BTW that Katy Perry song always makes me want to hit something.

16 11 Why not?

17 Um, you did watch to the end of that Katy Perry clip, right? And then you didn't mention nipples that shoot whipped cream?

18 Pop-Tart Provocateurs.

And this is why modern music sucks more than usual. It's about the music imagery. Thanks, MTV!

19 I didn't know about that, I only have that teaser clip.

20 It's at the end of the teaser clip. Past what looks like the closing credits

21 I'm punching down, oh yeah.

22 Well, at least Katy Perry doesn't have a dick.

23 Too bad Gaga didn't fuck over muslims instead.  That would have been bold and new.

24 Pop music nowadays is pretty much low grade p0rn sung by instantly forgettable mediocre singers. 

As it is 'popular', I guess that means the public wants to hear half-naked skag whores grunting in time to bad music with lyrics suitable for the trade journals of gynecologists.

Pass.

25 You really should drop by the ONT once in a while .

26

I guess in honor of the new women GOP contenders, it's gay week at AOS. A'ight, I'm gay game. I thought the "Glee" finale was uninspired, all things considered.

27 Katy Perry is hot.

28 They both suck.  And not in a good way.

29

Paging Christoph to the courtesy phone, please.

30 14 But do snakes make her nipples hard?

Didn't Roman women do something with snakes trained to sup on a woman's breast?

/Could have sworn I read it on Cracked somewhere.

31 Katy Perry is taking full commercial advantage of her hotness. Lady Gaga- unable to compete in that arena- is being a skank. Now, I wanna know whose ass to kick...

32 Katy vs. Gaga = Iran vs. Iraq

33 Jebus.  What a waste.  I'm going back to the HIV/Hepatitis-syringe-bomb-packing Taliban thread.

34 The new A-Team trailer is out. Looks great.

35
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

36

Now we have Lady Gaga. Also contrivedly provocative, except, I would say, in her case, it's only 25% contrivance and 75% authentic, in as much as she's actually a mutant.

Until I see some pics of the mutated area, I'm unable to believe she's a mutant.

And oh, Katy has nice tits!

37
fuck the A-Team!

see THE LOSERS instead

38 I'm kind of wondering if Katy Perry is also crazy.

Yeah, pretty much.

39 Okay, so, Katy Perry. Kind of hot, and not exactly shy about showing that off.

Umm, "kind of" hot?  Dude, she's hawtenss personified.  I want to lick ValuRite off every inch of her body.

40 Can we hack the Saudi airwaves to show Lady Gaga videos (with the habit and cross changed to a burqa and crescent. You know, for sensitivity's sake.)? I'd help pay for that.

41 I like the "stuff" shooting out of the cherries.

But I would say purposely insulting another's religion while being slutty is worse than just being slutty.

But the real truth of the matter is that this is why there haven't been any bands are musical talent worth a shit since about the mid 80's since MTV came out.

I don't understand why they just don't go ahead and have porn actors do shitty singing and dance naked with a hot screw for a finally.

Because it sure is hell true that none of the pop tart scrunts can sing. 

42 Katy looks like the high school girl that works at the shaved ice stand about a mile from here, and my little boy has had a snow cone every day this week, whether or not he wanted one.

43

The Lowercase a-Team.

44 That Katy Perry video would make a My Little Pony gag. Not even kitschy, just stupid. Heard her interviewed on Stern a couple years ago. She didn't sound crazy. Actually, she was quite interesting & sweet. But, not my kind of music.

45 I've been promoting a new artist and had his music reviewed by Jimmy Iovine's staff, the label that runs Lady Gaga, in the hope of setting up a meet and greet.  We were told that they don't want artists, they want "spectacles."  That's what sells today.

So don't blame these girls, they're just playing the game they've been instructed to play and will for their next year or two of their fame.  The labels sign them to deals and tell them what to do, including the videos.  Everything else is just bs--they have to become genuine long lasting superstars to voice any real opinions.

Have you seen Radiohead's Thom Yorke pronouncing the labels are dead?  It's on linked on drudge today.

Of course, I don't think he knows anything about current label finances, probably just wishful thinking.

46 I'm kind of wondering if Katy Perry is also crazy.

Yeah, pretty much.

The previously-mentioned bit of info that she's engaged to Russell Brand is also a giant flashing red light.

47 Who is Russell Brand?

He's a british comedian. Was pretty funny in Sarah Marshall, but then he hosted the Mtv awards and pretty much spent the entire show kissing Obamas ass and begging Americans to vote for him, haven't paid attention to him since.

48 Used to be a Christian music singer. For real. But then she went mainstream, and by mainstream, we mean contrivedly provocative and slutty. As for contrived provocation, she released two singles in a row, one, "UR So Gay," derided as gay-baiting by gay-sensitive critics as she called out her ex-boyfriend for being gay ("and you don't even like boys/like penis"), and then her next single, "I Kissed a Girl," about some girl-on-girl making-out.

Like the "Christian" bands Creed and Nickelback?

49

Because it sure is hell true that none of the pop tart scrunts can sing. 

That's why auto tune was invented. One doesn't have to sing. One can speak in a normal voice and the software will make you sound like Mariah Carey. Modern music is contrived bullshit.

50 koopy, from your link:

"I have the power to have unprotected sex."

Strong with her, the stupid is.

Also now that I know her idiot fiancé is in Get Him to the Greek, I'll pass on that flick.

51 Katy Perry sounds like one of those born-again type Christians back in the mid-1970s.

They used to sleep with everyone, male and female.  Then they became born-again type Christian and limited their sleeping around with other born-again type Christians.

52 koopy: "He's [Brand] a british comedian."

I agree with you that he's British.

53 I kind of see her point. There's slutty for slutty's sake, but to bring religion into it to provoke as response is cheap. I guess it' s her way of saying your are not hot enough to get a reaction , so you have to use religion to get attention.

54 The Losers?

Whatever.

55 Can Watch, can't listen. You could torture terrorist with that noise.

56 Not really sure if the music sucked or not, I was watching the video, not listening to it. BUNK

57

Whoever composes the "music" for Perry's songs needs to be shot repeatedly with a submachine gun.  And I wonder how good she sings without that autotune shit.  When South Park parodied Mr. Gay Fish himself they said they had to intentionally sing bad in order for it to sound "good" using autotune. 

I am kind of on the side of Perry here though as well.  Gaga is being edgy and provocative by intentionally insulting a group of people that she knows will only result in more publicity for her.  And Perry is merely being provocative in a "slutty" promiscuous way.  Who's she insulting?  The lactose intolerant?  So she's probably less religious than when she's grown up but nowhere near the "Yeah fuck Christ" brigade at all.

58 That lower case a team is some funny shit.

59 Lady Gaga is trying to be the new Madonna who looks to have a solid future and Katy Perry will end up in rehab in five years.

60
Her tits are shooting more jam than Peter North after a two week abstinence. GHEY

61 No,I wont let the bitches off the hook.They should have some self-respect.

62 61 One that always amazed me was Madonna, who in the hell are these people that pay to see her or buy any of her crap for the past twenty five years? Boggles my mind.

Ahem!

63 54 I kind of see her point. There's slutty for slutty's sake, but to bring religion into it to provoke as response is cheap. I guess it' s her way of saying your are not hot enough to get a reaction , so you have to use religion to get attention.

Agreed. And Perry is hot, and doesn't seem to take herself as seriously as Miss "I'm so edgy/mysterious Gaga."  Also, I'm @#$%ing sick of Gaga, can't get away from everyone constantly pushing her.

And for those it's all crap, pop is always crap.  But at least let it be fun and entertaining.

64 /sock off

65 I saw a picture of Perry.  She's engaged to a Klingon.

66 Perhaps the young lady's reaction is akin to the family member who treats the family like 'poop' but takes great offense when someone outside the family does the same. An indignation of 'you can't do that only I can!'.

That's all I've got for now. Everyone has that one area of weakness they would hate for most in their life to know about. These folks apparently get that shame thing out of the way rather overtly; see no skeletons!

Me, I prefer to hide my  varieties of impropriety from all of you and get selective outrage at a public figure screwing up in front of everyone.

This is one of my favorite quotes from a Moron circa 6 months ago:
You really don't want people like me running around unconstrained by the binding strictures of Christianity, and the attendant fear of the judge who can't be fooled. And I worry that we are many.

67 61 One that always amazed me was Madonna, who in the hell are these people that pay to see her or buy any of her crap for the past twenty five years? Boggles my mind.

I say that about Cher.  She still tried to sex it up in her 50's.

68 I linked another pic of a cat with a drinking problem in the spider and snake thread.

69 And Gaga as usual, portrays soft core bi-porn. But FTR there is a fine line between moderately suggestive content (Katy) and the not so much suggestive as bludgeoning sexual content that makes you wonder when, not if, the strap on is coming out. (Gaga) The later is fine I think but, when associated with sacred symbols, becomes an annoying shameless shock, and gives foundation to Katy's argument.

I know plank speck dodah. But does having done something that some may find morally questionable mean that you yield all authority in the same vein to criticize, especially when the actual line of right and wrong is a little hazy.

If I drive 75mph in a 65 zone, do I give up the right to criticize those traveling at 105mph?

More pertinent if my party runs up a 500billion dollar non sustainable deficit, do I give up the right to criticize a 2 trillion dollar deficit?

Golf clap.

71 There is nothing more Christian than cupcakes. I think on the 8th day God made them so what is the problem here?

72 you might want to fix the clark records link.  Its got the minx.cc stuff infront of it.

73 That's why auto tune was invented. One doesn't have to sing.

Wow, had to go read up on that. Learned something new today as I had never heard of this new type of fraud. Imagine Hank Williams Sr. using a device like that - not.

And these frauds wonder why the studios are going bankrupt????  They blame it on kids downloading songs on granny's computer????

One wonders if all these liberal douches know that the device was invented by a guy from Exxon for oil exploration.

74 >>>n. But FTR there is a fine line between moderately suggestive content (Katy) and the not so much suggestive as bludgeoning sexual content that makes you wonder when, not if, the strap on is coming out. I do not know either of these artists that well, but Katy Perry does not seem "moderately suggestive," unless you think Aerosmith's "Break Out My Twelve Inch (Record)" is "moderately suggestive." And I don't really know Lady Gaga, but I thought that she wasn't really into the full-on Sexual Spectacle schtick; but rather did a little of that, while instead going to strange new ways of shocking an audience (such as graphic violence and macabre content).

No problem here, but can I get sprinkles on my cupcakes? I like to lick them off. IYKWIMAITTYD

76 The Radiohead guy is prolly right. Why else would the American Idol finale have on major, if old, artists? They were falling all over themselves to actually have an audience.

77

Lady Gaga does parallel Madonna a bit in that her sound and look is edgy like Venkman said. I'm a product of the 80's and people were outraged by her act. Look where that took her.

I could give a shit less about Lady Gaga's music but she has her own distinct style and her music will probably be playing soon on the fashion runways of Milan and Paris.

Katy Perry is hot and that's about it.

78 Don't overlook the likelihood that the whole 'spat' is an orchestrated mutual publicity stunt.

79 Bear in mind "I Kissed a Girl" mentions the flavor of her lesbian paramour's chapstick -- Cherry, of course. This is not exactly elevated or subtle stuff. I'm not offended, but... I also have to call bullshit on the "moderately suggestive" characterization.

80 Yeah, that occurred to me... I don't know. Possible.

81 81 Don't overlook the likelihood that the whole 'spat' is an orchestrated mutual publicity stunt.

Good point.  Remember that there's no such thing as "bad publicity" to some performers.

82

I wasn't really paying much attention during bible study, but is it really a sin to inspire impure thoughts in another?

I think it might be.   Not certain but it could come down to whether you are seeking to inspire the thoughts or if its unintentional.  If its unintentional then the sin belongs solely to the one thinking it.  But if you were seeking to then I would call your thoughts just as impure as those you have inspired.

So um, Take 4 Hail Mary's, 2 Our Father's and call me in the morning.  Or something like that.

83 Time to give it up for tonight Morons. Back in the morning.

84 Katy Perry might be going for the "This is so over-the-top sexual and exploitative it's actually an ironic commentary on the hypersexualization of our culture and the degradation of women" thing, which is, oh, what's that word? total horseshit.

85 That video is not real! Girls boobies do not look like cupcakes and squirt out whipped cream! My mom told me so.

Well, I just watched the Lady Gaga video (with the sound off).  All I got out of it was that she wants to be a gay man in Fascist-era Spain.

95 I wasn't really paying much attention during bible study, but is it really a sin to inspire impure thoughts in another?

Romans 14:21

(21) It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak.

96 And yet, Ms Perry is engaged to one of the most self-admitted sleaze bag gruggis ever, in the form of the talent-free Russell Brand.  She's got some huevos...

Or a Really Strong Immune System.

97

And these frauds wonder why the studios are going bankrupt???? 

It's a damnable fraud. Music died in the mid 90's (arguably much earlier than that) right along with the rest of pop culture. The only hope left is that the newer generations see it for the bullshit that is and reject it. 

Maybe then some new musicians will be inspired to follow their own sound instead of taking their cues from a producer with his own self interests in mind.

98 The music industry is overwhelmed with "talent." It has some real musicians, too. Guess which of the two more often than not gets the contract? A good friend of mine's dad was a big shot at Warner Brothers in the 80's-90's. Because of that, we had the good fortune to hear some great music, mostly rock, from new bands that were sending in demos and first cuts, hoping for a break. Almost none of them got one while less talented groups excelled. He explained why.

Niche marketing. The business had demographics to consider and styles to fill. They needed W number of rap bands, X number of synth pop bands, Y number of Madonna knock-offs, and Z number of metal. If you weren't in a desired niche or the niche you were in didn't have an opening, then you weren't going to get corporate backing. The business wanted a sure thing and took risks only when a niche needed filling. It studied the markets, made assumptions on what that demographic expected, and pumped out over-produced, packaged goods that were safe (as in marketable).

There are many, many musicians that will never be heard. Musical skill has less and less to do with getting produced. The best example: the cycle of "boy bands" that rotate through. Even South Park mocked this phenomenon.

99 Katy Perry might be going for the "This is so over-the-top sexual and exploitative it's actually an ironic commentary on the hypersexualization of our culture and the degradation of women" thing, which is, oh, what's that word? total horseshit.

Posted by: ace at June 09, 2010 08:28 PM (66DVY)

Yes, it's hard to see how the addition of religious symbols makes it so much worse than what Katy does -- it's like, what line is left to cross?

As far as what it means -- in both instances, it means, "Look at me!  Look at me!"

100

Good grief.  Can't you all smell manufactured outrage from a million miles away by now?

Gaga's crap is rehashed Madonna, complete with BnW Vogue session.  Her schtick wasn't art or new back when that tramp did it...but it was offensive so people labeled that trash "cutting edge..." and tweens and really Stupid People -- of which there are far too many -- slurped it up.  The rest of us who recognized the Christian bashing and "prostitution set to music" theme just yawned and moved along.

They're trying it again, and now this time even the Stupid People are saying "Been there..."

So you get Perry the Christian Hyporcrite to try and boost both her and Gaga's record sales with this Cat-In-Heat-fight.

And look!  We're actually talking about it instead of dismissing it.

If Perry had kept the hole under her nose shut -- and I'm referring to the one that is possibly, but doubtfully, penetrated less than the others -- then no one here would have even thought about bringing it up.

Here's another hoop, General Public, now...Jump!

101 And wasn't it radiohead that a couple of years back released their latest album as a digital only download where you could pay whatever you wanted for it, and then later offered a cd version for purchase as well?  I can't remember if there was a cd version but I do remember the download was on their website.  So I think his "record labels are dead" pronouncement is a little bit of hatred towards them.

102

53 koopy: "He's [Brand] a british comedian."

I agree with you that he's British.

I will haunt you for the rest of your life, taking the form of Russell Brand.  And yes, I will sodomize you.

105

I think Gaga's talented enough to do it without the visual stuff, but apparently that doesn't work.

This would be cool:  Next gaga album  "Just Me" and she sheds the bullshit.  Just her and a paino, maybe a band.

107 Niche marketing. The business had demographics to consider and styles to fill. They needed W number of rap bands, X number of synth pop bands, Y number of Madonna knock-offs, and Z number of metal.

Did someone say Madonna knock-offs?

108

Katy Perry might be going for the...

Katy Perry is going for the "I'm going to do whatever I'm told to do because I'm a talentless whore" meme.  It's worked for every pop female since MTV started...

109 OT On PTI today the two shmucks were talking about David Geffem maybe buying the LA Clippers and possibly being able to attract Lebron James.Kornhole says,"Well Geffen was one of the first to really push Obama so he might have a chance as opposed to the current owner"paraphrased,the implication being the current owner is possibly a conservative.

110 111 So ,in the tank for Obama = real attractive to young black athletes.Hmm I bet the Knick owners were all over his jock too so I still have a chance.....

111 Since you compared Prince to Katy Perry, since they both have that weird Christian/sleaze dichotomy, I should point out that (1) she's much hotter, but also that (2) Prince is a real musician, and a damned good one.

112

Why does it matter, and why are we supposed to even care?

Specifically what's so wrong with a cupcake bra that shoots whipped cream? Call me jaded, but I didn't think that was a big deal.

Lady Gaga is 100% fabricated too. Were she really that nutty and just randomly hitting success, it would be a lot less frequent. She knows "pop" like Steven Hawking's knows cosmology.

 

113 A modest proposal: we execute everybody who's ever cut a record or appeared in a movie or TV.

You're just saying that on the off-chance that that really is Obama in the Whoomp There It Is video.

114 We're to the point where talent is a low priority, and a willingness to debase yourself in lust for fame is all.  If you're a hot chick, anyway, guys gotta work a lot harder being depraved to get any press at all.

I've gotten way cynical over the last few years-- maybe I've lived too long, but I'm FUCKING SICK of hearing what twisted fuck did what to get his/her name mentioned on TV so he/she can cash in.

Cure cancer or something, fine, but if you're just flashing your tits or sucking the houseboy's dick on pay-per-view, don't waste my time.

115 No straight man can sit through that nazi video.

116 Any chance in hell Radiohead isn't another ensemble of politically leftist dopes?  I'm just hoping because, even though its not an original song, really, Creep is possibly my single favorite song ever (or at least in the top 5)....

117

Dude, way too broad a net -- you snagged me in it. Limit it to major labels and studios.

Deal.

127 Must be getting old. Would much rather hear Grace Slick doing "White Rabbit"  or Christine McVie's "Songbird" than all this crap out now. It's all show-off and no real talent. Ol' Katy better listen to her recording company and get that album before everybody forgets who she was.

I never imaginged that my minor contribution as a zombified townsperson in the highly forgettable straight-to-video Palmer's Pickup would lead to death threats.

131

The Christian angle is just for shock, who cares? I'm a Christian (not a very good one) and I was more bothered when Jennifer Knapp came out as a lezzie than I was when Perry decided to rebel.

Who gives a shit? This "fallen Christian" crap is what gives MTV Productions orgasms. They want nothing more than to corrupt kids because the disposable income of teenagers is about the same as a working family of four.

Follow the money!

132 Once again, more proof that good pop/rock music finally took a shit and died sometime in the mid-1990s.

133 Katy Perry is annoying as hell, but she is cute and has fantastic cans. She could be advocating punching my mother and I still would side with her over Lady Gaga. But good for Katy. Most people in show business routinely mock Christians just so they can flatter each other's shallow intellects, so this is nice to see from her. Did I mention Katy's great cans?

136 OT: Nicky Haley is going to be on hannity in a few to make sex to him.

137 What we have here is Marketing 101--Lady Gaga targets homos, the fake angsty artist types and guys who have to watch her videos because their gf's or bf's make them--just enough T and A for all tastes. Katy's got the heteros, guys for obvious reasons and girls who want to be catty and get wardrobe ideas. Ting Ting targets confused fourteen year olds. Beautiful market segmentation.

138

Far better rendition of Gaga, by Christopher Walken.

139 I love the comments on the lady gaga video: "I have no idea what's happening except that GaGa is F**king gay nazi's with moe howard haircuts" It was off the wall and mildy disturbing.

140 Her boobs are big, but they always look squished.

141 And she looks sweaty somtimes.

142 The Ting Tings suck too.

143 Oh in case you guys missed it, near the end of her video, she wears a bra with AR-15's sticking out, so whereas Katy character has cupcakes and cream, GaGa has rifles, but no bullets...

144 Her boobs may look squashed, but when they're out, they're nice. Trust me. I can say no more.

145 Don't care much for Metric's music, but at least Emily Haines has some talent and is cute more than slutty.

146 I want to make manly heterosexual love to Lady Gaga, and that has nothing to do with the rumor that she is a hermaphrodite.  I'm all man.

147 She keeps trying to get men to look at her chest all the time.

148

Yeah, I don't know what the hell is going on in pop music either.

Clearly.  I mean, I love ya', Ace, but you act as if "who is this Katy Perry person?  I think she had a hit single, maybe...."

Her debut album was HUGE.  Spawned at least three major pop-music singles.  And she's more than just "kind of hot".

And then there's Lady Gaga, who is doing her best to become this generation's Madonna.  And succeeding.  Seriously, I doubt that too many people here care for her, but she actually does make shockingly good pop / dance-pop music.  Even if you dislike her blatant attention-whore personality, her musical work is actually very solid.

149 It's not as if it would fail to occur to men that She'd probably be a pretty fun romp in the hay if she didn't say so. About the only thing I can bring to this discussion is this: I once had sex with a fabulously good-looking woman, and for a non-Adonis such as myself, this was quite a coup. It was pretty disappointing. I think she felt that she had done her part by just showing up. It was more like masturbation than sex. I slept with her before I knew her well, which was a horrible mistake -- it was only afterward that I found out what a shallow, vain, and rather vindictive person she was. I ended up breaking up with her, which three months prior would have seemed like madness. That's why the old saying holds true: no matter how good-looking she is, there's at least one man out there who's sick of her shit.

^{It's a damnable fraud. Music died in the mid 90's (arguably much earlier than that) right along with the rest of pop culture. The only hope left is that the newer generations see it for the bullshit that is and reject it.} 

^{Maybe then some new musicians will be inspired to follow their own sound instead of taking their cues from a producer with his own self interests in mind.}

The music industry has always been sleezy. It was sleezy in the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's and today still. The bands all talk about not wanting to sell out, but when the public isn't blown away by just how awesome they are, well then they say it's the record companies' fault. The record companies spend a ton of money on promoting the records and artists, and trust me, without that push, those songs don't get played on the radio or booked on tv shows.

Do you ever wonder how Saturday Night Live will have U2 one weekend, and then for the next 2 weekends will have Captain Geech & The Shrimpshack Shooters and Hot Jade Stumps. The record company basically told Lorne Michaels, booking those 2 gets you U2.

Without that promotion, the records just don't get airplay, and the record companies do not get behind records that they know won't sell. Years ago, they could possibly build an artist over several albums, but like most things now, you better be ready for the big time from the get go.

151

I'd be more impressed if they did something shocking with islam.  After all, mohammed was a pedofile who married Aisha when she was 6 and raped her when she was 9.

Now THAT'S shock value.  And true. 

But hey hey party party - Christians are bad.

Hey nani nani!

I read that he liked sucking the tongues of young children - but hey - it's all reltive, pass the crack pipe.

152 Every time I hear that Lady Gaga song Alejandro I think: Taco, Chalupa, Burrito. The video is kind of like mixing Madonna's Like a Prayer & Express Yourself w/ that Janet Jackson Rythmn Nation video. And Alejando sounds like a cross between Ace of Base and Madonna's Isla Bonita. So basically, all rehash 90s stuff with homoerotic imagery. Gay guys in Moe wigs-pass.

153

This would be cool:  Next gaga album  "Just Me" and she sheds the bullshit.  Just her and a paino, maybe a band.

Don't forget the other saying, almost equally as important: "Enthusiasm makes up for a lot."

--Who was it that said, "Older women are great because they never know if it'll be their last time"?  Well, Fat/ugly chicks are not much different.

158 Katy Perry has great retro looks. She could be a '40s pin-up.

159 I also had sexual relations with Monty's ex-girlfriend. We had dinner and drinks and whatever you do before engaging in heterosexual sexual relations.

160

Hmmmm, for musical babes right now, I'd take Kelly from the Dollyrots.

Yeah, she's a communist, but most people in the enterainment business are.

161 You want bunk-worthy material? How about She & Him? Zooey Deshanel doing a self consciously chaste riff on "Hit Me Baby One More Time"... I'd take her over the lot of them.

164 I also had an eight-way with the Fly Girls from In Living Color. I only say this to spare my wife the trauma of finding out I had an eight-way with the Fly Girls from In Living Color.

Amateurs.

168 "She could be a '40s pin-up." Or a really slutty '80s Montgomery Ward Catalogue model.

169 Carbona, not glue.

170 She mashed her boobs up against me, and I was like, "for real?"

171 And that was after midnight.

172 I had sex with that girl first. You and the rest of the fellows downtown, friend.

173 At first glance I thought it was Michelle Malkin!

176 I had sex with a Gremlin after midnight. I would not recommend it.

177 I only make this confession to spare my wife of the indignity of hearing I had sex with a Gremlin from a more respectable publication.

FIFY 

180 I think tales about the wolfman are really stories about male menstruation.

181 Like it's some kind of mythical thing or something.

182

Sir Gaga is one fugly, talentless dude.  In the "Poker Face" video, if you freeze it at 1:31, you can see one of his balls came untucked.

And the music industry deserves to die for greenlighting that Ting Tings "That's Not My Name" bullshit.  Easily the most irritating song I've heard all year.

I'd rather jack off to the Rosie O'Donnell Show while listening to William Hung singing "Ave Maria" than to have to hear the fucking Ting Tings one more time.

I'd rather listen to Larry Marchant narrate the audio version of "Lady Chatterly's Lover" than listen to that shit again.

Do I make myself clear?

 

 

183

I think the fact that Perry is marrying that unfunny super freak Russel Brand pretty much sums the type of person she is.

As for Lady Gaga she's just a flat out weirdo.

184 Moronette here, so I can't really comment on the bunkworthy aspect of each of these, but musically I have to say I prefer Lady Gaga to Katy Perry. At least Gaga's weirdness is relatively unique; even the would-be shocksters of bygone days never went quite as out there as she does. Acoustically, without a costume or a synthesizer or any of that stuff, she's pretty good and has a nice range--everything else is just stage dressing. Whereas Katy Perry is just sort of . . . there. Nothing new, and not a very good singer either, IMHO.

In a weird way, I almost feel like Gaga is a victim here. She was in the music industry for years before adopting her current persona, and had plenty of talent, but being plain ol' Stefani Germanotta, good singer and pianist, wasn't enough to get her anywhere.

Plus, I'm kind of disappointed that she had to go the religion route for her new shocks. Yawn. Is Haus of Gaga running out of ideas or something? It's practically a step down for her. Nobody wants to see Dali paint realism.

185 You know, coz men kinda get biorythm pms once a month and get really bitchy too.

186 I know I had a bad case of pms last week.

187 Don't care much for Metric's music, but at least Emily Haines has some talent and is cute more than slutty.

Definitely cute in Gimme Sympathy.

188 I had sex with the Moronette Tungsten Monk. I only say this because the New York Times was about to break the story.

189 "I... think I'm with Katy Perry? Kind of?" Oh hells yes I'm with Katy Perry!

190

Because I care, I'm gonna throw down a hate link to all things Gaga.

And remember, you can't spell "Gaga" without GAG.

191 Not surprising.  I'd be surprised if any of them actually had any, you know, talent.

Music today is nothing but trite crap twaddle and the singing is studio rigged and the sex appeal is just tawdry whorish parades of sluts who won't make it to fifty.

192

My honor requires that admit I had sexural relations with TM last week.  We had sex.  And she has failed to address the fact that we had dinner and then drinks after midnight.

193 Posted by: steevy at June 09, 2010 08:42 PM (sR8/X) Sterling sell the Clippers????? No way in hell. Unless Geffen creates a bunch of "humanitarian awards" which "coincidentally" are awarded to Sterling every year. It'll give the LA Times guaranteed ad income for awhile.

194 Last week when I had pms I just totally henpecked my wife.  So it happens to men too.

195 I invented, and trademarked, the expression "smell my fingers."

196

I really like that Kelly Clarkson song "Already Gone", but my wife doesn't.

Really, since I'm 40 I really only listen to 70's, 80's and early 90's music. I guess that's considered "golden oldies" nowadays.

197 "tawdry whorish parades of sluts" I prefer violent whore tornado

198 BTW, MTV hasn't shown videos for about 10 years now. I guess videos are only on Youtube.

199

Acoustically, without a costume or a synthesizer or any of that stuff, she's pretty good and has a nice range--everything else is just stage dressing.

This is what I was getting at.  She's a solid talent, and just the raw talent, sans visuals, makes her better than Ms. Big Mashed Boobies.

200 She was in the music industry for years before adopting her current persona,

Nah. She was signed at 19. She's all of 24 now.

201 I touched my wife's bosom about ten days ago.

202 I prefer women with a more timeless, ethereal beauty, women such as Audrey Hepburn, Igmar Bergman, and Taye Diggs.

203 I also touched your wife's bosom a few days ago, Larry. I can't say more, but you owe me rent for all the time your wife spent on my face.

204

I prefer women with a more timeless, ethereal beauty, women such as Audrey Hepburn, Igmar Bergman, and Taye Diggs.

Oh, don't I know it.  Bergman and Diggs.

205 But Ke$ha's still okay, right?

206 I think Katy Perry does a very good job of dressing up femme-sacs as something borderline palatable.

207

you owe me rent for all the time your wife spent on my face.

No, my wife does.  Don't try to stick me with that bill.

208 Ever heard of the term " felch"? Mmm mmm mmm

209 anyone ever notice that Will Folks and Larry Marchant post here an awful lot?

210 Ting Tings?  Kind of a Walmart version of Red Stripes, eh?

211 Katy Perry also has fake eyelashes and that look she's trying to achieve with that blue hair, well, let's just say she doing her best.

212 I like a girl who gives it all she's got.  Bergman is like that.

213 Mmmm mmm mmm

214

Music today is nothing but trite crap twaddle and the singing is studio rigged and the sex appeal is just tawdry whorish parades of sluts who won't make it to fifty.

Then every once in a while you'll get a Carrie Underwood.

I totally agree. We live in a world of instant pleasure and fleeting glimpses of fame but on the rare ocassion a real person will shine through, whether it be me or you.

 

215 Then every once in a while you'll get a Carrie Underwood.

I'm carrying underwood right now!

It's funny because it's true.

216 Every once in a while *I* get a Carrie Underwood. That is how I roll.

217 Then every once in a while you'll get a Carrie Underwood.

Just to get ahead of this story before someone breaks it on my blog to the utter distress of my wife and family, yes, I get Carrie Underwood any time I want.

218 It is a verity, I am frequently getting all up in this shit of the hottest women, by gum, I do very well for myself on that score.

219 Jumbly pie and Jumping jehosephats, all which you have heard is indisputably true, for when it is coming to the ladies, I pack and deliver like UPS trucks.

220 I have a jest which will no doubt be the source of utmost mirth and amusement for your humors. Why did the chicken cross the thoroughfare? I would not presume to address his motives. But I can inform you that Nikki Haley is the sort of woman crudely referred to as a bird which is swallowing.

221 You are no doubt in such galeful mirth as to be incontinent to answer. Let me tell you another jest which will bring you great joy and prosperity. How many of the persons which domicile in the country Poland does it require to change a nonworking lightbulb for one in a more productive condition? As I only made it to the Sixth Form in maths, I fear I cannot tell you this conundrum. However, you will be pleased to be informed that Nikki Haley once descended herself upon my tumescence.

222

Yes, but can you do ze Russian Jewish refugee version of Will Folks?

223 What, ho! Now we are rolling in the chuckles. This reminds me of the time I misplaced the keys to my auto. I have forgotten what happened next, but at some point I drove about in Nikki Haley's intimates.

224

"My superior does not haf my sense of humor.  I suggest you deal with me."

Most Esteemed Sir,

I request you do me the favour of no longer carrying the pretense of being knowledgeable of our dialect.

Kindest Regards,

226 One delightful morning I had the pleasure of shooting an elephant in my pyjamas. What it was doing in my pyjamas, I swear to Rama I could not say. However, I had discarded them absently the night previous when I was putting it to Nikki Haley.

227 It's like aliens are trying to communicate with us using Madonna videos.

228 Katie White, the singer of the Ting Tings, looks a lot better now than when I saw her in 2007.  She used to be kind of a shy performer, but now that she's gotten mega-fit, not so much.  BUNK!

Though, seriously, they need to release a new record.  They've been riding "That's Not My Name" -- a great song, mind you -- for THREE YEARS now.  It came out in summer/fall of 2007 and they played it on SNL this season.  That must be some kind of world record.

229

Dave Clark is a producer.

 

But is he an executive producer?

230 Do not offer my God a peanut.

231 Do you really meanit?

232 From what I heard, Perry tried the Christian music route, but failed to gain an audience, so she went mainstream, where the producers gave her an image makeover (aka, slutted her up), and the formula-enamored public fell for it. How she justifies her sluttiness -- faux or not -- with her stated Christianity is beyond me, as the little girls who buy her music aren't going to be so nuanced in how they see her acting, hear the song lyrics, and then read some tweet about how she owes her good fortune to Jesus.

233

The blasphemy for shock was old and tired years ago. It no longers shocks people and thus there are really only two reactions to it: those who don't give a shit about anything of value and those who get pissed off by it.

I'm the one who gets pissed off about it and, just as with Madonna, the chick won't get a penny from me.

Katy Perry seems a bit confused, perhaps it's the whole "daughter of the pastor" thing, but I don't doubt her sincerity, nor would I argue with her about how cheap it all is. As for the cupcake bra, it's done to be obvious and yet very cutesy at the same time.

If she was rolling around naked without the silly music, then it might be different.

234

This is why practically the only pop music I listen to is J-pop.

235 DaveC, check this out.

236  

237 Yeah.  I could see hearing that in smoky jazz club even.  Was that a real sentence?

238

239 I don't know if they'll collapse in total but they will eventually have to cut all waste and streamline their staffs. Selling music is different then making it. Selling music is 90% marketing, that's what the majors have that everbody else doesn't. Top shelf marketing departements in place like a machine. Anybody, can press up a cd, sell it online, get a cover done, register UPC code+soundscan. But how do you get the worlds attention. Marketing which includes Print, Commercials, Product placement, Radio, Music Videos. Live performance and now new media with viral videos, and enough cash to grease the engines. The labels are now converting to more of a pipeline and there really isn't anymore "development" money. If you want to sell music think of yourself as a start up company. Find your own funding then create a buzz and then the majors will buy in and send it through the machine.

240 Forget all this and cut to the chase, Benny Benassi's Who's Your Daddy FTW!

241 After finally clicking on the Alejandro video, all I can say is: 8 3/4 minutes for a monotonous pop song? Pretentious much?

242 "I... think I'm with Katy Perry? Kind of?"


Might wanna check out Katy's video "Waking up in Vegas" wherein she stages a mock up of The Last Supper with her as Christ and a bunch of Elvis Impersonators as the disciples...methinks the tart a bit of a hypocrite.

243

There are an amazing number of similarities between these two (aside from Katy being pretty and Lady G. needing a paper bag).  Both are very contriversial (gets more airtime and reporting), both are very sexy and scantily clad (again airtime , if you put bag over Lady G's head), neither wrote their music, created theor image, dress or have much to do with creative content (my opinion, of course) and both wore bra cuto that shoot.  Katy, cupcakes that shoot whip cream, and Lady G., M16 barrels that shoot nothing.  Gun barrel nipples are in no way original... 

Looks like competing Music companies to me, who can get the most money from the under 18 market the fastest.  Also looks like Music company execs using a formula to create the "Pop Star" of the month, they control everything and make all the money.  When they push this crap over talanted artists who have principals when it comes to their music and "art" is it any wonder people don't like big music companies.  They are a thing of the past and should die with diginity rather than putting out this crap.

Don't like either's music, but the whip cream from the nipples is much more interesting IMHO.

244

Lady Gaga's songs sound like a test of the emergency broadcast system. They're seizure inducingly bad. 

245 Stupid, boring, sluts.

246

There was suppose to be a nun in that video?

That's not what nuns wear...

That video seemed to be about an androgynous android dance-fighting with a gang of naked homosexuals...

247

There are many, many musicians that will never be heard.

Bands today seem to make all their money on concerts, not on the records. To that end, a band that sees shit off records doesn't care who gets the records for free without paying, so long as lots of people like it and show up to buy tickets and t-shirts.

It's a good gig. While the mega-stars ability to make gajillions and trash hotel rooms in every state may be stunted, there are a lot of people who'd opt to travel around the country performing concerts for modest audiences for 50 or 70k a year.

Once upon a time - before recordings - musicians made all their money travelling around and doing live performances (and there was still musicians, it was a viable profession).

Thus I think it shall be again. Everything will metastasize. There will eventually be not many mega-stars. What there will be is a terrific wealth of diverse music, recordings of most of it available for free, spread by word of mouth, with the bands making a decent but not extravagent living on live shows.

248

This is why practically the only pop music I listen to is J-pop.
