I know, it's hilarious. I've had bouts of laughter over how stupid Kesha sounds, how her songs sound in general. It's like, knock it off you idiot, just freaking sing if you want to be a singer, all those blip and bleep noises make you sound mentally challenged.

I believe that being half naked while performing a song or a few songs does not make your music any better/make you talented. (unrelated to any posts above)

You can't deny that it does attract the male demographic, however.

Is it the right kind of attention you need to be taken seriously as an artist? No. But it makes people notice you.

I can deny that since I don't find it attractive and I am male. I also don't think artists should be looking for "any attention", they should be looking for the attention to help them as a musician.

I didn't say all males, I said the male demographic. Notice that any males who say they're a fan of this female musician who prances around half naked in her music videos will 96% of the time only comment about her attractiveness, while any males who say they're a fan of this other female musician who keeps her clothes on will comment more on her music than her looks.

I agree with you on the attention point, however. I'd rather have people actually buy the music I make instead of download all the pictures from my latest photoshoot and stiffen their socks.

That Robert Plant lady is the worst exponent of this. Excruciating.

I Want You Back and ABC are the only Jackson 5 songs worth listening to.

I have to say, I've recently come to this conclusion myself.

Thoughts about several genres:

Blues: You're okay by yourself, but I prefer to see you next to the words "fusion" or "rock" or, better yet, "garage rock," then you have a chance to be something special to me.
Thrash metal: You bore me if you try to be all fancy with 5 guitar players somehow playing together at the same time or whatever, you have hour-long solos, or you have a singer that could make a decent living as an opera singer, but I like you when you are attached to the name Slayer, when you have a bad singer (an ordinary person), or your heavier instead of faster.
Groove metal: You're pretty cool...but I can't help but notice the number of people that would rather die then listen to Slayer, are suddenly bending over backwards to buy your albums when you are only marginally different from the bands of the previous decade, which nobody apparently cares about.
I love you when I think of you as the influencer of a number of modern genres like alternative and nu metal, which are great genres.
Black metal: you're also boring, except when you hail from Europe in the 1980s, then you're one of the best genres in the world.

Finally...
Doom Metal: I don't like you, I've never actually liked you really. My biggest problem with you is when nothing happens, or it's just a ringing guitar chord for like three hours. I hate that; if you had a constant beat to go along with it or it was more uptempo, I would have no complaints–but no, you do everything in your power to make me dislike you. Your flagship band, Black Sabbath, has a singer that I absolutely loathe to listen to, and their very first song from their very first album is one of the most absolutely mind-numbingly boring tracks I've ever heard; and it's by the grace of God alone that I hit the "next track" button and, therefore, discovered "the Wizard" that I even allow this contemptible album to take up space on my computer hard drive at all.
Electric Wizard is the genre done right. What's that? I'm not allowed to call EW doom? Well never mind then, doom sucks.
