Pop Culture Curmudgeon

A New Britney Song = A New Reason to Hate

I tried to have an open mind, but when I heard Britney Spears’ new single, I fell immediately into hate with it. It is over-produced, synthetic junk. Listen to it here if you haven’t heard it yet: http://z100.elvisduran.com/pages/news/britneyspears/womanizer.html. Feel free to let me know if you also think it is crap. Or of you like it.

I wish that we didn’t have to hear pitch-corrected, synthesized music all the time. (Well, I guess we don’t HAVE to hear it. We can certainly choose a radio station that plays music by actual artists. But, because of my love for pop culture, I hear horrible things like this Britney song and the evilness that is perpetrated on my ears by Heidi Montag on Yo on E!).

Speaking of Yo on E!, one of the writers from Entertainment Weekly (I think it was Leah Greenblatt) was on yesterday talking about the new Pink album. It’s great, she said, pointing out how nice it is that Pink can actually sing. Really? A singer who can sing? Alert the media. Oh wait, she is the media.
