EternalShinyAndChrome 2,597 Posted February 11, 2019 These shows are nothing more than political events for Democrats disguised as "awards" shows. Just another bash conservatives and drool over their political leaders - it's like a cult of personality with the left. Seriously. Kim Jong Un has got nothing compared to what the American left has. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SenatorRock 708 Posted February 11, 2019 Alicia Keys and Diana Ross both knocked it out of the park. Kelce Musgraves is fine. So far no politcal bullshit, maybe they got the memo. Brandi Carlisle performance coming up soon. I missed the Dolly tribute but heard it was good. So far it is the least propaganda awards show I have ever seen. Pretty amazing tbh.

Todays music is pretty much the suck. I wouldn't know one of her songs if you shoved a pair of headphones of my . But I do know that she has zero respect in the industry. Because all she does is copy everyone else. Specifically, Nicki Minaj. I don't know how many of these plastic fake pseudo ethnic pitches we need, and I certainly don't understand how the hell she won the Grammys. But that says everything you need to know about the Grammys. Here's her own words on being accused of copying everyone: And for anybody that telling me, 'Oh , you copied Kodak flow, you copied this and that flow,'" she told the crowd in a now-deleted video. "So what ? So what? I'ma sound like all your favorite rappers." So so at least she's pleasant. And people wonder why we hate hip Hop and the music industry in general. at this point I don't understand why we have the soul train awards and the essence awards and the Latin Grammys. But but that seems to be pretty much the way these days. They want their culture to the exclusion of white people. But they want our culture as well. And somehow that's not cultural appropriation.

Hardcore troubadour 12,799 Posted February 11, 2019 Music sucks because America is great. No struggle, no really good music. Kids, even the "poor" ones grow up comfortable like no time in existence. What inspires them anymore? Rock was about rebellion and the thought of a better life. Netflix and a full belly takes that angst away. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vuduchile 1,941 Posted February 11, 2019 I didn’t like any of the medleys I really hate when they do that Just gimme one or two good songs all the way through Chili Peppers were dissapointing I liked Janelle Monae. Her song reminded me of a Prince song. The vinyl outfits on those chicks were hot. She also played a little guitar at the beginning. I also liked St Vincent and Diane Lipa. Another hot chick with a guitar plus a hint of lesbo stuff. Brandi Carlisle was good and so was the hot brunette country singer. There was also another black chick who played guitar who I enjoyed I’d never really heard of or listened to any of the above prior to last night Since Rock is pretty much dead, I guess I need to check out more country and pop for new stuff I was pleased to see guitars and pianos being used so prominently instead of a bunch of synths and drum machines Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being popular doesn't mean it's good, but if it's going to stand the test of time it's going to have to be. People's unwillingness to purchase a concert ticket to see these acts is proof of that. 99 cent download? Sure. 100 dollar concert ticket? Nope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bandrus1 413 Posted February 11, 2019 not that I think any of it is any good but the top 6 grossing tours of 2018 were contemporary pop.

Because in 1987 U2 could sell more tickets than anyone from the 60's that was still performing. And in 2019 U2 could sell more tickets than anyone performing now.

Tickets sold is what we're looking for, not the price. Some fools willing to pay top price for the front row throws the whole thing off. Try and get tickets for Billy Joel at MSG. Any tickets.
