Five Musicians Who Piss Me Off

1.) Dear M.I.A., I honestly enjoy your music even though it all sounds the same. I know you're all "avant garde" and "non conformist" and shot, but it seems to me that you WISH you were as famous as Lady Gaga. Your noise is just as mainstream as her disco. You gave "Paper Planes" to a fucking Judd Apatow movie, honey. You have no right to say she steals when you sound like other artists too. Sounds to me like you are a BIT JEALOUS because your label prefers Gaga over you.

2.) Dr. Luke, mastermind behind Ke$ha, offered Uffie the chance to sign onto a major label and have him produce her American debut. Instead, you did a load of drugs and said no. Sure, Ke$ha and Luke ripped you off, but you were too lazy to make hit singles. You preferred to PaArTyY it up and now you've released this generic crud: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on7P2GZvD4c&feature=related Uffie, you were brilliant enough to have someone blatantly rip your singles off! Why are you trying to sound like an electro wannabe? YOU WERE THE REAL THING, GIRL FRIEND!

3.) Grace Jones was a disco performance artist decades before Gaga hit the scene. Now, she steals from him a little and he hates her. She stole an outfit and Grace goes NUTS. Like M.I.A., she's just jealous. Gaga is everything she wishes she was: a brilliant chart topping songwriter with a knack for performance art.

4.) Billy Corgan is nuts or brilliant. He sings Dylanesque songs that sound nothing like the Pumpkins, believes he can levitate to Jessica Simpson's house, and replaced his band mates with an eighteen year old and sixty year old man. Yet, his new songs rock. I just can't decide if history will call him a burnt out has been chasing after glory or a fallen rock God who composed song of the most beautiful songs of his career that no one heard that later became classics. Maybe, he could become both.

5.) I'm not sure who B.o.B. is but I see his songs on the top of itunes, preview them, and they suck. I hate when labels take a new style and make shitty catchy forgettable songs with it. UGH.
