8 Overrated and Most Annoying Songs Ever

8 Overrated and Most Annoying Songs Ever

The songs I find most irritating are country, hillbilly rock, and western music songs. All the singers sound the same, every vocalist tries extremely hard to sound rustic; however they all end up sounding fake. The songs all have the same call and repeat chorus to verse structure. The whole genre is centered completely on divorce, breakups, alcohol, trucks, and women. However the lyrics seem as if they were written by a three year old, so every song sounds the same. Finally the consumers of country music are very dedicated to the genre and play it all of the time. – Norma OK

The song I find most irritating is “Bangarang” by Skrillex. Actually, its every song ever put out by Skrillex. The style of this so called music is awful enough, but the idea that anyone thinks he is a musician or even an artist is what is most irritating. Led by followers or just want to drop acid and rage, the fans of his music also make me sick. He isn’t even as talented as a real DJ. All this clown does is let his Macbook create a beat or worse yet, distort and sample someone else’s original, and then he hits play. Tell me where the artistry is in that. A computer is not an instrument. It’s not a guitar, a piano, a drum, a violin, or ever a voice. It’s a synthesizer. As in synthetic. As in not real. Fake. Phony. It’s ridiculous. – Chicago

The songs I find most irritating are many of the songs in the musical “The Sound of Music.”  When I was growing up, we had that movie on VHS and I would watch it on long car rides because we had a television and VCR in the van my dad would drive.  Then I would hear it at work when I started working.  Then we sang some of the songs in my choir class.  By that point, I was fed up with all the songs in the musical.  The most irritating song, though, is the one titled “My Favorite Things.” It gets played all the time at Christmas and I don’t believe it is a Christmas tune.  I don’t think it was meant to be a Christmas song, either. – Jeffersonville

I think by far the most irritating songs ever written is “Friday” by Rebecca Black.  The lyrics are god awful and mind numbingly boring and simple.  I’m pretty sure I could write a better song by pulling random words out of a hat and piecing them together.  What makes the song even worse is that its not even the artist sing, its the terrible auto-tuned version of her.  It just shows that she can’t sing and the words that she is singing are just so terrible.  However, it was still the most watched youtube video of 2011, but its because people were watching it to make fun of her. – Florida

The most irritating songs I can’t stand often belong to Justin Bieber. With songs like “Baby,” I literally feel like every word in his songs lower my IQ by one point every time I hear it on the radio. So much so that I had to stop listening to the radio in fear that a part of my brain may seep out of my earlobes. – Knoxville TN

Oh my, where do I start? First of all, these girls aren’t hot…at all… they can’t sing either. On April 21st, 2012, these girls hit their pinnicle of viral fame (as if that were the only thing viral about them) as they made an appearrence on ABC’s Good Morning America. Their only saving grace was that they admitted that it was a joke. A moment of self realization perhaps? Be glad the world now celebrates being mediocore and substanderd because that is the only way this song could ever possibly be celebrated unless it was used as a means of torture. –  Lexington TN

The songs I find most irritating sometimes seem to be the ones that everybody else can’t get enough of. There is a vast list of songs I find irritating but I am choosing to write about one song that I find to be the most irritating, the one I seem to take the most flack for when I say that I can’t stand it. That song would be “Imagine” by John Lennon. For all of the peace and love that surrounded Lennon in his later years, few people seem to remember that he abused his wife, abandoned his eldest son, and was verbally abusive to his manager during his time in The Beatles. Lennon may have turned his life around just before his death, coming to the side of peace, love, and harmony — but I wish people would stop acting like he was always some bastion of peace and brotherhood and just admit that, at one point, he was an angry, vengeful, hateful young man. – Bangor PA

We found love by Rihanna – I liked this song when I first heard it. It had a nice sound, and I wanted to listen to it again. That quickly changed. Upon hearing again I noticed how awful of a song it was. The line “we found love in a hopeless place” is repeated at least SIXTEEN TIMES!!! If that’s not padding a song so that the producers don’t have to use their imagination then I don’t know what is. It almost as if they came up with one good line and thought, “Hey! This is a good line! Let’s repeat it over and over, edit it, and have a popular singer sing it so that every one will love it!” Her voice is so obviously edited its painful. That and it’s played on the radio and dances it ridiculous! I never want to hear that stupid song again! – Hemet CA

The songs I find most irritating are anything by Justin Beiber. he’s an overrated girly boy. Teenage girls go crazy over him when in reality he’s a moron. He uses auto-tune way too much and the lyrics to his songs are just plain shit. People who like his music wouldn’t know decent music if it bit them on the ass, am I right? Another artist I can’t stand is Rebecca Black. Her song ‘Friday’ is just fucking terrible and it made me want to smash my head against my keyboard. -  Plymouth UK

Yes, achy breaky heart still makes me want to scream after 20 plus years. From the repetitive lyrics to the droning music, it has always set my nerves on edge almost from the very beginning. The fact that it was played about 700 billion times back to back in the early nineties certainly didn’t help, either. Used to, just out of sheer cruelty, some friends and I used to cruise the mall parking lots with it on as loud as humanly possible.A rather cruel prank to play on human ears, granted. – Japer AL

Your View on the New HBO Series Girls – The Most Annoying TV Series Yet?

Your View on the New HBO Series Girls – The Most Annoying TV Series Yet?

 

The new HBO series “Girls”  looks like it will be a great show.  I tivoed it last night and will probably watch it tonight.  As a woman I can relate to that the show is about bunch of twenty somethings living in New York City.  It seems like it is the alternative to all the glitz of Sex and the City.  I think it is more realistic then Sex in the City and I like that the main character is not a beauty queen and is a bit overweight.  I also like the Judd Apatow movies and I believe he either directed this or wrote it.  I think it will be a fun show that is entertaining and enjoyable.  I hope that it sticks around because I liked How to Make it in America on HBO and they ended up not renewing it past 2 years. - Cumming

The new HBO series Girls looks dumb as hell. I’ve seen the trailer as well as the commercials that have been running around the clock on television and I’m already annoyed with the series and it just premiered yesterday. However, the fact that it is on HBO gives it major points because usually their shows are really good and fail to disappoint. But the premise of a bunch of friends and their lives is so generic that it works against the show because there are 10 other shows on TV right now about the same thing. I say it has a 50/50 of being a success. - Lakeland      

The new HBO series Girls portrays women in a completely unrealistic manner and is a large part of why society today is in a state of degradation. I would feel completely guilty watching it again and am opposed to the high level of sexual content in that and other HBO shows. I’m easily offended, so maybe I’m the wrong person to ask, but I think that the character in the show are immoral and terrible shows of character and judgment. I hope this show isn’t a reflection on society, but I fear it is and that’s what scares me most. – Clermont       

The New HBO series “Girls” is ready and set to record on our DVR, it is a show that I will be undoubtedly watching. The first episode, introduces the main character in her fussy financial situation, this, I can already assure viewers, will create a sense of reality that has fallen onto not only the United States as a nation, but college student’s suffering to find a job after graduation in particular. It creates a sense of being a lost individual, in a sea of so many surrounding people. The best part is, the main character is an average (yet beautiful) girl, in this society it is necessary to have social commentary on the TRUE life of individuals and not fantasy women and fantasy careers. I am yet to find a flaw in this new series, I have a zero percent guiltiness for watching it, and I will be recommending it, to all my other very average friends! – Riverside            

The new HBO series “Girls” is a promising effort from director and writer Lena Dunham. In her mid-20s, she’s the daughter of a successful artist and grew up privileged in New York City. Her show is about four young women trying to make their way in the big city without real jobs. It’s very easy to relate to for members of my generation. I saw the first episode and enjoyed it very much. It’s witty and emotional and understated. I can’t wait for the second episode, in fact. This will easily become one of my favorite shows to date because of its protagonist. I highly recommend it. – Los Angeles         

Chicago                The new HBO series Girls does not look interesting. I love HBO original programming but this new series Girls has me on the fence. The marketing and advertisements for this series have not done it justice. The show appears to be the life of a girl coming into her own womanhood yet constantly whines from her perspective. Maybe it’s my age but that is something I have no interest in. Perhaps this aimed at woman and younger female teens but as a man in his 30’s this is one HBO series I most likely skip. As stated above perhaps it is the way it is marketed that has me turned off. – Merchantville  

It seems like the show is about a bunch of rich entitled white girls. It’s sort of like an all out Gossip Girl. I think HBO saw the potential for this market and decided it was a good idea to tap it. I might watch it just for the sheer controversy it’s generating. – Los Angeles            

Movies Coming Out in January 2012: Worth Holding Your Breath?

movies coming out in january 2012: Worth Holding Your Breath?

My husband and I are huge movie lovers.  We are often at the theater on opening night.  We often buy our movie tickets online to ensure that we will have a spot in the theater.  In order to do this I research upcoming movies. My latest search was for movies that are coming out in January 2012. There are 18 expected releases in January and I have seen nothing worth holding my breath over.

 

There are two that my husband and I may go see at a matinee.  One is called “The Grey” which stars Liam Neeson and Dermot Mulroney.  This is about some guys that survive a plane crash in Alaska, but now have to fight the elements and apparently the have a pack of wild wolves after them. The other movie is “One For the Money” starring Katherine Heigl.  She plays a bail bonds-person.  I loved her when she played Izzie on Grey’s Anatomy, so I tend to watch her movies, but I am not holding my breath that this will be an Oscar winner. These are just a couple of the movies coming out in January 2012, nothing too great or too exciting.  Hopefully, February will offer up some better choices.

Hollywood Celebrity Burnouts: Do You Still Want to Be Famous?

Hollywood Celebrity Burnouts: Do You Still Want to Be Famous?

 

Hollywood celebrities are always around us.  You can’t go to a grocery store without seeing a gossip magazine plastered with headlines about who’s dating who, who is pregnant, who is cheating or who had plastic surgery.  There are television shows that are dedicated to telling us these same stories on every night. I don’t know about you, but got me I am tired of seeing Hollywood celebrity burnouts.  I call them burn outs because they burn me out of never wanting to see them again. I no longer want to be famous.

 

One of my Hollywood celebrity burnouts would be anything relating the Kardashian Clan.  I really don’t care to know how much Khloe ate for dinner or if Kourtney and Scott are still together. As for the more famous sister, Kim, I am tired of hearing about her “fake” marriage to Kris Humphries.  Let it go already.  Let the Kardashian’s and their big rear end’s go and just know that the more we talk about them, the more money they make. If I could get paid to tweet and just look pretty, I would want to be famous just like them.  Until then, I will stay away from the gossip sources.

How to Sharpen Charcoal Pencil: What About Using a Knife?

How to Sharpen Charcoal Pencil: What About Using a Knife?

Many artists find the act of sharpening a charcoal pencil a daunting task. Artists who are not familiar with these pencils often try a regular pencil sharpener. This will not work, the pencil either won’t fit or ends up mauling the pencil. This will cause it not to work and the artist will throw the pencil out and run to the store to go buy a new one. There is an easier and less expensive way to do this. You can purchase a knife and sharpen your pencil with ease.

 

There are a few different knives that are great for sharpening your charcoal pencils.  A folding pocket knife is easy to grip and is durable.  A utility knife or a box cutter is easy to hold and is also very durable, but the blades are shorter and will need to be changed out often.  Another method of sharpening your pencil is a sanding block.  You will need to buy some sandpaper and some goggles for this.  A knife seems to be an artist’s best bet. The type of knife needed will depend on the artist’s personal preference. So, next time you are in the market for a charcoal pencil, take into consideration the way that you are going to sharpen them.

MW3 Wii Modern Warfare 3 for Nintendo Wii: What if it Cost under $100?

MW3 Wii Modern Warfare 3 for Nintendo Wii: What if it Cost under $100?

Modern Warfare 3 was just released on November 8, 2011.  It was released at midnight at many GameStop stores.  Many fans waited outside in order to be one of the first to play this popular game. It is available on Playstation, Xbox and the Wii. MW3 for the Wii seems to be one of the least popular ways to play. Even though the cost is under $100, many fans of Modern Warfare would rather go buy a different gaming console than play this on the Wii. Players of this game say that the graphics and lighting aren’t as good as the other consoles.  The speed of the game is also hindered, making it difficult to play.

 

As a Wii owner and player, I would not buy Modern Warfare 3 for the Wii even if the cost is under $100.  There are a few reasons for this.  I am not interested in war or shoot ‘em up games.  I feel the Wii is geared towards the fun, cartoon-like games like Mario Brothers. I have friends that have different game consoles, and they rank the Wii as their least favorite.  The only reason they keep the Wii is for their children or their wife.

Free Music Games For Kids: What if They Become Freeloaders?

Free Music Games For Kids:  What if They Become Freeloaders?

 

Your kids want to download some of those free music games for kids on the internet.  But you are worried – what if they become freeloaders?  From downloading free music games for kids?  You’ve got to be kidding!  Then again, maybe you’re not.  Maybe there is something to that.  Remember the old “give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day” quote?  The idea being you can give him what he thinks he needs to get through a day – food – but if you give him, instead, the tools to catch his own fish, he can eat forever.  At least, as long as the fish are biting.  And if he fishes in a no fishing zone, he might even be fined, or cited, and if he can’t pay the fine because he’s too hungry to work, he might end up in jail.  There, at least he’ll get three squares a day – mostly on square white bread – and not be hungry any more.  So no matter what, by giving him the tools, you are teaching him that he can get food somehow.

There’s not much difference in this case.  Free music games for kids and you’re worried they’ll become freeloaders?  You are teaching them, instead, how to get by in this world.  If you can get it for nothing, you aren’t spending your hard earned money, and one day, their hard earned money (you hope!), and this is good, right?  If you go out and buy or make them buy music games out of your money, or their money, you are only teaching them to pay for what others are getting for free.  So don’t worry about them becoming freeloaders if your kids get free music games.  They’ll learn how to get by in this world without spending a penny.  Make way for the next Donald Trump!
