Early Morning Video Watching

 

Very early this morning I actually watched videos on VH1. I had no idea that happened anymore. I thought I just had to watch them on the Internet. I have been having some bad insomnia so the research part of brain isn't working so well so bear with me.

Here are my uncensored thoughts about each one. .

Kid Rock - Too Hott - Wonderful opening lyric and dirty guitar grind suitable for any exotic dancers play list. This song will soon be a staple on the stip club circuit. I wonder if this song is about Pamela.  I do love me some rock roll bad boys even if they beat people up at awards shows and Waffle Houses. That just makes him even more attractive.

Given the choice I will pick out the badest boy in the room which is usually the drummer but in this version of the Twisted Brown Trucker Band it's a girl....okay back to the music....yeah this rocks....and I love the shot of Rock in his Duster doing the whole cock rock thing on stage. Very old school.

 

Fergie - Clumsy - How can I not like this? I spent the summer humming "Big Girls Don't Cry" and "Glamorous". It samples "Girl Can't Help it". How can I not like this, it's catchy...but it's Fergie.  If I just shut my eyes I could like this, I think. What is up with that hair extension and the blatant product placement of the lip gloss and phone? Close your eyes....look away.. Why can't recognize that she is actually a decent lyricist? Why can't I come to terms with my inner Fergie?......She just seems like such a dirty girl but  I know she's not. It's just weird to hear eight year old girls singing her songs.

One last random Fergie fact....I had to explain to GriffDawg who she was.

 

Bon Jovi - Lost Highway - We all know how I feel about Bon Jovi.....next....

 

Britney Spears - Gimme More - Again if I close my eyes I can deal with this as music. This just isn't up to par as a dance track. I expected more. She has a great producing team. Maybe I will like one of the remixes more.  It sounds like something I would hear at Jazzercise.  It's sort of filler dance/trance music. Hmmmm....I wonder how I would feel if this wasn't Britney. Also she isn't fat. But that tattoo on her arm is butt ugly.  I don't get that.  Also, how  does she stay hot with that Taco  Bell diet she's on?

 

Pink - Who Knew? - I hate the girl/boy  video story playing out underneath Pink in the video. The song is strong with a great hook and a great message for young women. It's also a little sad but shows Pink doesn't always have to be kicking ass with some boy to make an interesting song. I get disappointed with pop songs like this because they seem like a neatly wrapped pop package turned out to make hit for the kids. I like her more biographical stuff from the M!ssundaztood album

 

SilverChair -Straight Lines - Ummm didn't they play at WSC? Or were they the opening band for some concert I went too? Where do I know these guys from? Generic.

 

Nickback - Rockstar - Another song I couldn't avoid this summer. Dumb. Video is enjoyable. This is a like a twinkie. Some people enjoy them. I sort of don't but I have no doubt I will end up Karoking this thing cause I know the words.

 

Jennifer Lopez - Do It! - Is she pregnant or what? Does anyone care about this album?

 

Colbie Cailliat - Bubbly- Does VHI have a factory or some sort of biological research facility where they develop these 'new' artists? She sound so much like everybody else. A cute chick with a guitar. Her dad produced some Fleetwood Mac Albums and she was the top unsigned act on MySpace. I guess that's better than a Tila Tequila reality show. Bottom Line here......She's pretty.... She's happy. Musical Prozac.

Kanye West - Stronger -  This is my current theme song for my life. Cause I am the bionic woman....I need to be Faster, Better, Stronger. Love the song. Love the Beat. Love Him. Good choice of sample from  Daft Punk who sampled from some guy named Edwin Birdsong. It's hard  to research this stuff but it's interesting.

 

A Fine Frenzy - Goodbye - Generic Sad Girl Rock although isn't there a dude in this band?

 

Daughtry - Over You - Wasn't this dude on American Idol or something? What's this about...a video about recovery or codependency???? Is this guy trying to hone in on Nickleback's territory since they decided to make a flimsy pop ballad with no message. Is that guy in the car dead?  Is she addicted? Was he addicted? Or what is the deal here????

Too confusing for such a bland piece of crap.

Maroon Five - How Far We've Come - I actually have to think about where all the news

footage is coming from. Hmmm....are these lyrics linked to this thing? Is this the new 'We Didn't Start The Fire"? I need to check this out again. I guess I will have to go where I've been watching music videos for the past five years....the Internet.

My formatting died on this post. I think I need some sleep.
