Songs I won't listen to on the radio
Can't Hold Us Down
Christina Aguillera and Li'l Kim
Ok, Xtina we get that you're all into the 'girl power' thing - but I don't know if you've looked around recently. Y'see, while sexism still does exist, i severely doubt that anybody would try to hold you and your millions of dollars 'down'. The fact that you GOT all your money by flaunting your female sexuality really says something, doesn't it? Not to mention that the kind of people who are being held down probably aren't feeling all too 'empowered' by your song. OR if they are victims of sexism could it be because they're dressing/behaving like you? YOU won't get raped because YOU have well-payed bodyguards. Little Jenny just might because she's wearing skanky clothes and wandering around being 'proud' of herself for dressing like that. Besides, didn't the Spice Girls cover girlpower? NOT TO MENTION that I have never, ever met a guy who expected me to 'just sit and smile'. Even the education system is geared to women! Couldn't that been seen as holding men down? But whatever. I'm dissapointed in that song. Christina Aguillera has an amazing talent and she normally does really, really well with her choices. And maybe it's just me and the people I know. Maybe we're the only ones that haven't been exposed to sexism on anything more than a small scale (if anyone out there has and feels empowered by her song- Good for you!) in the whole world. I don't know. But that's my opinion there.
Always be there

Truthfully I really loved this song when it first came out. Then z started playing it every 30 minutes. Now Ihate it. It's a sappy, pity me song about random things. It's easy to sing, because Appleton only use a limited range (if i can hit it, anybody can) which made it fun. NOW it's over. Boring. Release another single or something. It's a nice sentiment - boring song. SO. GET IT OFF THE AIR. Seriously - what happened to Bon Jovi and Aerosmith? Where has all the music gone.
As a last note
All of 50cent's songs sound the same. I don't care that he thinks he's a P-I-M-P. He can do that -->it's probably not something to brag about. I mean, last time ichecked prostitution wasn't considered 'cool' except by sorely misinformed 14 year olds who grew up with Pretty Woman. Whoopie. You can cash in on the maleable minds of America/Canada. The funny thing is that there are very few artists who actually know WHY and HOW they're doing so well. Like Eminem. While i don't particularily like a lot of the message he's giving I can appreciate that he's highly intelligent and KNOWS what he's doing. Smart Guy.
One more, actually....
Kill Bill was just a Rotten Movie. WAY to violent. Hey, Rabbit? Apperantly we missed the part where Blood came out of someone's eyes. Too bad,eh?
