News footage of the time in 1990 that a Depeche Mode in-store autograph session at Wherehouse Records in L.A. caused a 'near riot'.

Made me listen to Depeche Mode.  Had to remind myself how much they suck.

Diff strokes. I dig 'em.

Of course, I only don't like the big three.

The '80s are pretty much a black hole of suck for me anyway, but at least Madonna had a little bit of pep in her music. DM is just dreary.

I'll be honest, DM occupies the same place in my brain that Pink Floyd does. I don't expect anyone else to feel the same way, but that's what happens to me.

I have such a problem watching that (well, all reality stuff). The overdone takes, the loooong dragging out of every single thing, all of it. So annoying. Those two kids have great voices and all, but I just.

He's an ugly fat kid, he can't possibly have any talent.  Where does that assumption spring from?  It was clearly manufactured to be Susan Boyle II, but for me the surprise of Susan Boyle was that she waited until middle age to test the waters. How could someone with a voice that good, and aspirations to be a singer, never pursued that path before now?  In this case I was expecting it to be good.  I guess the main difference is, Boyle didn't have a pretty little friend with big lungs to help bolster her confidence.

Anywhoo, the kid has a great voice.  I don't know if he's the next Pavarotti as Simon claims, but sure, why not.

Probably no one's ever encouraged him. That same perception, singers have to be attractive. I feel like we've been over this--in the modern video age, being good-looking is almost as important as being able to sing, which is of course objectively ridiculous, but that's where we are. The point of every Mariah Carey video is "Look how hot Mariah Carey is!" And I'm not saying she isn't, but the hotness of the singer doesn't do much for me when I'm listening in my car or on headphones. Would Colbie Caillat have a recording contract if she wasn't cute as hell? Not that she's a bad singer, but there's plenty of young women in coffeehouses with guitars who deserve that kind of shot too, but aren't as blonde and pretty.

So annoying.  Even with our Youtube thread here, my ratio of videos watched to songs heard is asymptotically close to zero.  I don't give a rip what a musician looks like.  In fact, the pretty faces with autotuned talent are even more corrosive to my enjoyment of pop music.

Connection making: the gentlemen from Ween? Not conventionally attractive. Of course, dude doesn't have the best voice, either.

I've bought several Mariah Carey CDs at the pawn shop.  I don't think I ever listened to them.

I think this one is my favorite.


Especially the back cover

I guess, if you're into that.

I think she has a weird face. Like she's one of Jim Henson's creations, tragically born ten years too late for a role in Labyrinth.
