AMA's
 
Okay, so we all saw Hohan, but that's yesterday's news. What I really want to know is:

How great were Eurhythmics? I was completely blown away, of course. Annie Lennox is back and better then ever.

Thoughts?

I mentioned this on the other thread, but yes- she was so fabulous. Funny, those weren't my two favorite songs of hers, but she really was outstanding. One of the first things I noticed was that she sang in the original (or at least, I thought it was) high register. You know how some older singers (ahem) will lower the register of a song to enable them to sing it? It seemed to me she was right on target. She sounded and looked incredible.

They were incredible. :nod: I also liked Cyndi Lauper & Sarah McLachlan (sp.) a lot.

Chesney: please, someone make him go away.

Duff: worst.lip.sync.ever.

McGraw: he doesn't bother me. beter than Chesney, at least.


I missed Urban, Hohan, more stuff while flippin channels. :shrug:

Yeah Cyndi rocked it too. I definitely need to get her new cd.

Rob Thomas was (and always is) awesome! I watched his performance 3 times in a row. Thank god for Tivo... :cool:

Agree with all of the above. Although, don't like McGraw nearly as much as I used too. Is it the beard that makes his face look fat?

Damn, I missed my man Keith (picking the little one up from Girl Guides).

I'm really getting pissed at these young girls (Lohan, Hilary, Ashlee Simpson, Raven, Paris, etc.) who think they can sing (or are told to market the music industry and make more money off those poor little girls (like me 10 yr. old daughter) who think they sound good because they don't know any better, milk it for all it's worth and make tons money off their sucker parents (like myself) :mad:

Blame the Spice Girls for that trend.

Both of these guys really get on my nerves. Especially McGraw. Don't get me started on why none of their stuff even resembles country music!

I though Cyndi sounded like a little 6 month old cooing in her crib. I didn't like it much. :sorry:

Was it really the Spice Girls, or did it start with Bananarama? Or The Bangles? What about NKOTB? Or Backdoor -err, Backstreet Boys? I guess Spice Girls are to blame also.... I didn't watch the AMA's... I just wanted to bitch....:D

Her high notes were a bit cringeworthy at times, but the lady is talented and, go figure, actually sang LIVE last night.

Oh no you DID NOT just toss The Bangles in with that group! :mad: Those girls played their own instruments & I believe they wrote much of their own material. As for the rest - bitch away! :)

Now that I think about it, I want a hits CD by them. Runs to find out if there is one.

Ok, You're right. I'll agree with that. But their music, for the most part, sucks.

Teen idols have been around since the begining of rock and roll or even earlier for that matter. Frank Sinatra was a teen idol.

goldustsongbird 11-23-2005 06:22 PM

I really enjoyed the Eurythmics! Annie looked and sounded amazing...
But I really tuned in to see Cyn who, as usual, did not disappoint! To the other person who mentioned her sounding like a cooing six month old? Heehee.
I have to admit, I don't like some of her ad-lib vocal exercises, but the woman truly has a hell of a voice.

I previewed her CD on AOL last week, and I'll be your river was my favorite!

"Like a wave I will come over you...."

Love it!

I'll be Your River is beautiful, but I really prefer the original/demo version. I think that sounded a bit more acoustic than the one on the CD! Can't go wrong with just Cyn and a piano. My favourite, though? Above the Clouds. I can't get enough of that song.

Great to see other She Boppers here! :wavey:

Don't be pissed at the girls. Be pissed at Disney. They are responsible for Duff, and she is one with the least talent. A friend works for the label and it is really all about multimedia marketing...movies, music, merch. And get em while they are young - crank them into as many markets as possible. Lohan isn't on a Disney label, at least I don't think she is. But Disney masterminded that template in the recent wave.

I liked Rob better, too. Sweet Dreams sounded off to me. I didn't like that echoing vocal.

Yup... As a matter of fact, I uploaded it along with a few other Cyndi related things on my Livejournal: http://www.livejournal.com/users/sou...rl/114256.html

Rob Thomas sucks. Dull, cheesy music. And his voice is average at best. At least Hohan had the sideshow factor working for her.
