I am so glad I do not have children right now. Specifically, female children. Specifically specifically, female tween children.
I was on iTunes last night and saw this singer near the top of the downloaded music list named Justin Bieber, some 15-year-old from Canada youtube sensation turned recording artist. I thought boy-bands made me cringe, but Mr. Bieber makes me reminisce fondly about the days when NSync ruled the charts. To me, JB is the musical version of Twilight. I'm just waiting for Disney to get a hold of him.
For your listening enjoyment (you have been warned):
Bahahaha!!! What? You don't like 15 year olds who use Auto-Tune to sound cool?? I hate this guy. But... my friend's 1 year old baby loves him!! Seriously. My friend turned on the video and the baby started dancing! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad my daughter is too young for this stuff. She just plays Disney songs. Over and over.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I can't watch this at work, but I'll torture myself later with the video after I get home tonight.
ReplyDeleteHe's 15? He looked younger. Maybe it's because I'm getting older. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI can see teens liking this. It's not horrible, just not my style.
I went to see Avatar again last night (this time, with the boyfriend and my sister and her husband) and there was one of those pre-movie ad things about a poppy, joyluck-club tween band that I just wanted to strangle. There was even inclusion of the line, "If you're just happy and have a good time, good things will happen for you". Oh really? Is that what I've been doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteHaha, yeah, not a big fan of teeny bopper pop. But more power to those who are!
What makes you think Disney doesn't already have him? :O)
ReplyDeleteSweet faced Teen Boy singing about True Love? My thirteen year old nieces would definitely go Twi-crazy over him.
ReplyDeleteOH my... I'm reminded of a former pet peeve of mine that I had abandoned for something obviously less important.
ReplyDeleteThe peeve: KID SINGERS
Why? They haven't developed their grown up voices... it's irritating first of all, cuz they sound WAY too young and those voices don't last high pitched forever, unless you are Justin Timberlake. LOL.
Oh baby; how awefully cute. Disney would definitely pick they up Josh. I've endured enough Disney programming to actually like some of their stars - Jonas Brothers, Miley Cirus, even Naked Brothers.
ReplyDeleteOk, gotta go grow up with some Black Sabbath, Rob Zombie, ICP.
.........dhole
Believe me, this is a rant that Dan and I have all the time. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MODERN MUSIC?!
ReplyDeleteNever thought I'd miss the Pet Shop Boys and other one-hit wonders of the '80s so much in my life.
I too am happy I don't have children. But only because I hate children.
ReplyDeleteGreat comment on kidlit.com - I'm a NaNo lover too.
