I keep wishing for Avatar to go on...but then I realize where it ended was pretteh good...WAIT! What about Avatar the next generation!? It's not like the whole Avatar thing ends with just Aang (sp?) and this is like the ONLY show that could do the next generation thing since it is basically already the next generation of the previous avatar.
I know what you mean with metal music! XD In my brother's band the main singer does almost nothing but scream and...yeah...they're not that good, but just a bit of singing there could make it such a better song. I mean, it's not like screamo or whatever actually means freaking out of the guitar and screaming, it has to have something catchy in it, too...>3>
Yeah I know what you mean....I don't usually think too much about the acting but I know that if I find myself thinking about it then it must not be very good acting, since the whole point of the acting is to make it seem natural and realistic. And I do notice that sometimes when I'm watching those shows, but I think for the most part it's pretty funny so it's good when my brain needs a rest haha. I think Victorious is about the same as or maybe a little better than iCarly as far as the acting goes but it's not as funny. Don't even get me started on BTR. I think shows just keep getting more and more CHEESY. Like OOZING CHEESE now. What happened to Avatar?? ): (Actually that's on Nicktoons alot. Hehe.)
Yeah that's the same for me... and that's what bothers me the most about Nick/Disney music. I just can't get over the fakeness of it. I usually pay more attention to the music than the singing/lyrics, so if a song has really deep or cool or catchy lyrics it's just a plus for me. It does bother me when I can tell a writer just wrote a line a certain way to make it rhyme or fit with the song, but as long as the music is good and the lyrics aren't so bad that it's distracting I don't really care. I can kind of tell you're not into this haha but with metal/screamo/whatever sub-genres people want to use I think the same way...as long as the screaming isn't ridiculously unnecessary and distracting I usually don't mind it. It makes me sad when the vocals are screaming the whole time though. Because usually the song would sound better with actual singing...but oh well. That was a little long and rambly haha sorry.
Yeah, I can understand that. And I'm glad you didn't just bash them 'cause that seems like what EVERYONE does to pop music. And I know what you mean. I used to like iCarly...but I really don't like Miranda Cosgrove's acting...it's so bad it embarrasses me. But it had pretty good writing, just not really my kind of show. Same for Victorious. But that Big Time Rush show is so bad...I watched one episode just to give them a chance, and I thought it was just too stupid it was sad. There was some part where they suddenly broke out into singing, and it just didn't sound possible.
For me, they need at least ONE thing that makes them worth listening to. There are some singers that aren't AMAZING singers that I really love, but they're so fun to sing with, so I like them. But Nickelodeon gives them so much autotune that it takes off the catchiness (sometimes autotuning can be very catchy, but they mess it up) and it's really hard to like...>.> Also weird pronunciation and poor grammar in songs just kill me...'orz Unless the way they say it just sounds right in the song, but you can't make something that doesn't rhyme, rhyme because of the pronunciation...'orz
I'm really not too big on boy bands (especially foreign ones since I just don't devote enough time to looking for music >>), but HAHA. Nickelodeon has some pretty terrible music. Every song that comes from them is pretty awful. The only thing that really bothers me is that I really can't tell who's talented and who isn't since it seems like the network is just trying to get more publicity for their stars. Not gonna lie, I watch some iCarly and Victorious because the shows aren't that bad, but there's no way all of these people can actually sing (well). That's the most unattractive thing about their music for me.
And holy geez. First video is pretty sick. Their sound reminds me of N'Sync and those other pop bands I used to listen to...good times.
