And you're a very sexy girl
Very hard to please
You can taste the bright lights
But you won't get there for free
Welcome to The Jungle- Guns n' Roses

Ok... So I was wasting my time, watching daytime TV. That means two things.
1) nothing good is on unless you like children shows or Judge Judy. ((Grounding Marsh was on but Zanorich made me feel bad by calling it infantile.... So I turned that off))
2) I'm watching Much Music.

So... as per usual... they play it in loops... first you have the 20 minute Rap segment featuring all the top rap songs. Which I dont know cause I have my own selection of music that I listen to and I usually ignore the top 40 stuff for what I enjoy. Then they have the 20 minute pop segment which features Neyo, Pussycat dolls, uhhh.... I dunno... I didnt watch for very long.... I think they may have had Paris Hilton or some other BS in there.... Then they usually have the Emo/ Punk/ Rock segment.... Then it starts over.

Fairly easy to predict... Anywho... to the point... They had a video from The Pussycat Dolls... Being the person I am Im attracted to flashy lights and stuff so my attention was turned to the TV for the length of the video ((Also alot of skin... Im attracted to skin so thats maybe why I also watched the Janet Jackson video as well...)) Anyway... the song was about not needing a guy.... which is all well and good. Go girl power! or something like that... But a few things about this particular group bug me... First off... Its a group of 5 ((or is it 6?)) women... One sings. The rest are purely for back up purposes. They could just call it "The Pussycat doll and the dolletts" but it would still but me... as I'm not even sure what the other girls do.... I'm not even 100% sure they sing back up.... seeing as its just as easy to digitally remix the one girl's voice to make up a back up track. Alright... back to the main points.... 5 ((or 6)) Girls.... They probably weigh 100 lbs put together... I've seen thicker toothpicks. Enough said.... Skinny girls bother me... expecially when I know my little sister listens to their music and she doesnt listen to me when I tell her shes fine the way she is. I know how the whole throught process works there... Ok... last point... like I said... Skin attracts me... there was alot of skin... ((considering there was only about 100 lbs of body mass to cover))... The song is about not needing a guy.... but they're dressed in a manner that all but says "Look at me... Im female and of the age to fornicate." ((Yeah... I went there...))

Perhaps I oversimplify in my little mind... But... if you dont need or want a guy... why would you dress in a manner thats only going to attract them. I know theres the whole "sex sells" which is true... but how many guys would fess up to owning a CD by The Pussycat Dolls... I can see them buying a Playboy featuring the group.... but I dont think thats happened yet...

Then theres the whole simplicity of the lyrics. If I can get the meaning of a song when I listen to it once... theres something wrong... either Im listening way to hard or the lyrics... really... suck.... Considering I was pretty busy just attempting to watch the video ((and nearly suffered a seizure from it))... Im going to say the song wasnt the most complicated of lyrical poetry out there.

So I have to wonder... When all these girls signed up... did they have visions of being a group fueled by the commercial appeal... or did they actaully expect to do something worth while that might be recognized as art. Can you even call it art if all your doing is trying to make a few bucks? Is it worth it if in the end you lack respect from others. Because the actions you take are just as important as what you say and if both your words and actions dont agree, then I get mixed signals... And I dont like the way this particular group performs.


Hahaha... I wrote a rant....

And am drinking Chocolate milk..... go me...
