Record of the Year

Ok i've just watched the highlights for the UK's 'Record of the Year' as voted for by the Great British public and guess who won best record ?...Westlife, a boyband whose last song was a cover song. Just another example of the sad state that music has become.

Well, for a start, the Manalow (sp?) cover's only been out a few weeks wheras, for instance, Year 3000 has been out since... forever, basically. They chose pathetic plastic pop 'artists' and that's that.

I thought that boybands were death but I guess the music industry wants to keep them alive.

My record of the year is "Trani" by the Kings of Leon.

To be fair, I'd have preferred Busted to win. At least they wrote and played the instruments on their song.

Well, er... don't mean to burst your bubble or anything but from what I've heard they're a boy band (a la written-and-played-by-other-people) packaged as a 'teen rock' band. RAHR. DIEEEE.

Linkin Park were tarred with that same brush y'know.

My point is that Busted, no matter how poor, are said to write and perform on their own songs.

However, Westlife sing other peoples stuff whilst sitting on stools, and then they get up off the stools at the key-change for a big ending. roll eyes (sarcastic)

personally i dont see how they can have a record of the year when they just pick the songs from whats in the charts. seeing as its only pop groups that dominate the charts, there just picking from one genre. when the occasional rock/hip hop/metal song which is good reaches the charts, no one ever takes any notice of it, because its too different, and all they want is the same manufactured crap so they can have a bunch of nice irish (or wateva westlife are) kids win the award, not some real musicians who might be a little bit rebellious and......deep breath....ORIGINAL.

The point im trying to make here BB is that todays society are getting force fed on manufactured rubbish, its becomes to such an extent that new, orginal talent are finding it extremly difficult to get noticed.
