Song Of The Year

Poker Face - Lady GaGa
Pretty Wings - Maxwell
Single Ladies - Beyonce
Use Somebody - Kings Of Leon
You Belong With Me - Taylor Swift

Out of those options, Lady GaGa better win because her shit is funny.


I dunno, have you heard Kings of Leon? "Sex on Fire" is a pretty epic song, it's like, I don't even know how to put it, like mixing an 80's hair band singer doing a Phil Collins impression over top of some really nice riffy, melodic almost-metal. If you're as eclectic as I think you are, you might groove to it.

Lady Gaga is funny, and a damned fine looking young lady. And personally I don't care what kind of parts she's sporting downstairs, she's still aaight with me.



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

You really don't understand that in the case of most pop singers, a "producer" role is the equivalent of an EP title in movies, do you?

I hope Ringo takes the mic from her and says "I know Taylor made some great songs and all but I'm a FUCKING BEATLE. Lick my feet, bitch."

It's destiny that Ringo presented nominations with Taylor Swift in it. She's so talented. What a great night :)

So it's destiny that the most technically proficient yet least talented Beatle give an award to a technically inproficient pop singer?

Taylor Swift isn't terrible but you really need to expand your horizons, man. Listen to some Pink Floyd, Beatles, Velvet Underground, Bowie, early U2, Who, REM, Radiohead, Simon & Garfunkel, or Dylan or something. And please, give Pet Sounds a go. If that doesn't change how you think about music, I don't know what will.

Then, after you've done that, come back and tell us how great Taylor Swift is.

I have listened to them. Taylor is amazing and she is like the Beatles of 2009 IMO.

 

I'm glad shes getting the attention she deserves cause she is soooooooooo talented. I love her.

No, you obviously haven't.

It's incredibly obvious you haven't.

I have. That music is too old for my taste.. I don't think its great. I mean yeah the song writing is great, but I think Taylor is up to par with all of them. You know in 40 years, young adults will be listening to Taylor songs like You Belong With Me, White Horse, Love Story and they will be held up as some of the greatest songs of all time, like people hold up the Beatles, Pink Flloyd and so on..

Well, fine. At least admit that the music just doesn't fit your tastes. But don't even claim for a second that Taylor Swift or any other generic female pop star is any way comparable to The Beatles. When Taylor Swift produces anywhere close to the likes of Revolver or Sgt. Pepper, then maybe I'll agree with you. Right now, she just has a couple popular sings, and that's it. Doesn't make her better than the other dozen female pop stars that litter the market. And I assure you that Taylor Swift won't have that sort of longevity. I'd be amazed if she retained her popularity for more than 10 years, let alone 40.

It's my opinion.. That's all, but I think that Taylor's song writing, producing and singing is just as good if not better than the Beatles. Taylor is on her way to being a legend. I can't wait.

When Taylor Swift can evolve and innovate like The Beatles and influence music forever...oh God, why do I even create these hypotheticals? They'll never happen. Hell, even Madonna was nowhere near The Beatles, and she was freakin' huge. Same with Aretha Franklin, Barbara Streisand, or any other really famous female singer I could name. The Beatles could write legendary songs based off of various events in their lives; hell, most of their hit songs practically have their own little stories behind them. Even Ringo could write some really kickass songs when he felt like it.

Also, props to Rocketpig for suggesting Pet Sounds. I've been listening to God Only Knows non-stop since the week began.

I'm seriously choking right now.

Titanic was a good movie. I'll agree on that.

With that said, it is a mere hill compared to the Everest of a Casablanca or Citizen Kane.

You do realize you are doing the "beat your head against a brick wall" thing here, don't you?

OT: Am I just really old or is there some garbage music at the grammy's this year?

Well Taylor has the talent to back it! Let's see in a few years. I think her songs are changing the generations as it is! Her songs have just as much meaning as the songs the Beatles have wrote in my honest opinion. Oh and by the way... the Beatles are on the verge of losing their #1's record in the U.S to Mariah Carey.
