"My Humps" won a Grammy of some kind.

People wonder why some scoff at the Grammys.

Is there a Grammy for the biggest pile of shit pretending to be a song that suckered the most people into blowing money because they sort of got horny watching the video?

Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo (or Group) with Vocal

That doesn't even sound like a proper award "And the Oscar for best sci-fi comedy starring Will Smith released on a Tuesday and running less than 126 minutes goes to..."

Proliferation of award categories is a problem that infects all award shows, as far as I can tell. If they ran schools this way, there would be merit ribbons handed out for things like "Best student at finger-painting on Wednesdays between the ages of 4 and 5", and a fucking ceremony to hand it out.

I always like new awards introduced to keep certain subsets from winning 'proper' awards. Keep rap/animated films/anything forgein in it's own category! That way comics can't win 'best fantasy novel'!

Somehow Rye, I knew you would be the one to point that out.

Anyone else having flashbacks to how the scifi channel promoted 'The New Outer Limits' as "The Most Award Winning Sci-Fi Anthology Series Ever". At the time there had been exactly 3 scifi anthology tv series, ever. And TNOL was the only one on the air (and one of the others was the original outer limits) during a time when TV shows got awards. How many awards did it win, one.
(in case your curious that award was a Cable Ace Award, which it pretty much got because all other sci-fi shows on the air already had one)

Back on topic, virtually all the generic dumbass copycat rap that's out there makes my ears bleed. Granted the rappers themselves are just as rage inducing, 50cent and his G-unit is the perfect example. The man is the black male version of a spice girls. Talentless twits who churn out the same fucking boring 'hoes' 'guns' 'money' 'drugs' as every other group catering to wiggers.

'50centless' bitches that no ones shot at his expensive ass bulletproof car (considering he moved to one of the whitest upperclass cities he could find I'm not sure why this was a surprise), and lo and behold mere days before his next album release one of the 'G-unit' shoots up the car (while no one was in it, doing superficial bodywork damage), sales were triple the estimate.

These guys need to get a clue, once they don't sell records well enough the company will drop them and they'll hit the poorhouse in months (lack of sales tend to be recouped from the artists royalties with the way they write 'work for hire' contracts).

For the ones that are really bad, heres a clue, if weird al parodies your song, and not only proves he has more talent as a writer, but is a better rapper than you, you need to quit now.

White & Nerdy

The pop/classical fusion guys annoy me to, I've found one I can stand for more than one song, whose lyrics aren't the same emo shit recycled and his ass is from Latvia..... LATVIA

Vitas
(he's singing the opera peice they used in Fifth Element and unlike the singer there he actually does hit the notes himself without synth assist, the mike has a little reverb thats it. What's creepy is at no point is his voice straining, meaning he is capable of greater range with effort.)

Modern pop-punk gets pretty bad, you know those bands built on the, 'we have no talent, we must be punk' motto.

Metal of any sort where they scream vague noises instead of singing to cover the fact they either can't sing or can't write lyrics.

Female vocalists who sing like their still 14. Avril Levigne(sp?), Shakira when she sings in english, ect, ect, ad nauseum. Shakira disappoints me the most since in spanish she sings with this beautiful deep sultry nearly alto range, but in english she sounds like a shes trying for Gwen Stefani's voice.

I blame record company voice coaches.

Who the devil is this troll-faced motherfucker?

Gareth Gates. Still at large.

And I clicked that stupid link for the eight time forgetting what it was.

<== Tool.

Thought of a new one. In the country category again, it's a song by Alan Jackson. I don't know the actual title but the gist of the song is that they don't do things the way they're done where he comes from and thus, they have less worth. Apparently because he says so.

Ah... wikipedia is my friend:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gareth_Gates

I think I loathe him just because...

"Bad Day" by Daniel Powter. Literally every other song on the radio on my ride to work was either James Blunt or that twerp's insipid, moronically-repetitive song.

Also, chiefly due to volume, I'd count most of the stuff Pandora.com thinks is related to electronica and 80s rock. It's like having some crazy aunt who keeps giving you Ashley Simpson CDs.

Almost anything by Gwen Stephanie. Just when you think the pop music bar cannot be lowered any further, this cunt rips off that "Fiddler on the Roof" song, the cheerleader B-A-N-A-N-A song, and the rest of her shitty music.

And what the fuck is up the "Narles Barkley" or whatever the name is? They rip of an NBA player's name? I would be pissed if I were Charles Barkley, especially since they suck balls.

Ah, aha! Now I have something to piss about in this thread beyond a generic *anything that the CCC plays on a composite-hits station on American FM airwaves.* Though as a stand-alone gripe, that's true.

For me it IS literally EVERYTHING put out by Gwen Stephanie. Sweet Escape comes immediately to mind.

Woo-hoo. WEEEEEEEEEEEE-HOO! << wtf? Then the excessive tripplet-syllable singing that precedes the melody, which while technicaly impressive just grates my ears.

GOD, Fuck. (to quote Howedar in the get-er-done thread, apparent mind-rapist of other people's explitives )

the only passable thing Stefani ever did was "just a girl" and tthat was over played more then "Another Brick in the Wall part II" and "Stairway to heaven" put together.
