VMAs...

so Britney took home three awards on her song "piece of me". The whole video is about her against the paparazzi and the media. Fine. Music is all about expressing one's emotions and feelings, but she didn't even write the song, not even the lyrics. Plus, the video is really crappy, especially the dancing scene in the bathroom. Where's the old Britney who could dance (but still couldn't sing)?

and

kanye west closed the show with his new song, which consists of pretty much the same melody in different keys, over and over again. For an artist who's cocky enough to compare himself to some of the biggest music legends, he really needs to come up with better music.

What can I say, most popular music today is crap. Kids nowadays think they only need to learn 3 chords to write songs. And of course, everyone can be a singer if they can kinda hold a pitch. What happened to the quintessential requirement of being an artist - TALENT?
