Q: Do you think the quality of 'pop' music has declined in the last decade or two because of auto-tuning, lip-synching and corporate wankers writing cheesy songs that seem to lack any substance?

I don't listen that much to pop music. Here is a dutch band that I absolutely dislike so much:



If this is meant by cheesy and lacking substance then the answer will be a big yes. Don't know if it is worse than 20 years ago, but since I cannot imagine there is any worse music, the answer may be yes :)

Coming to think of it, I recently found this song on youtube, which I guess sounds a bit like pop, which I find briljant:

25 or 26.  Old enough to be taken seriously.  Young enough to be young.  I suppose physically that old.  Mentally, I'd like to get wiser but that takes effort beyond just aging.  I wouldn't mind staying physically 25-26 a living for a long, long, long time.  Then I might actually get some things done... ::)

COMEDY! especially those classical masterpieces, from French, Italy..and also romantic comedy. other than that, something with a little dramastic taste is also my favorite, like Accepted. and also anything with well-made music and dance.

A: She is one of very few popstars that would have made no matter what timeperios she started. A true entertainer, not the most talented out there but still with that little extra something. She is trying to hard to pretend that she is something she isnīt though. She is 100% female in every respect and not intersexed or hermaphrodite or anything.
