VH1 blows
The problem is politics and advertising and coroprate greed. It's taken over television and radio so that now corporations and record labels dictate what's a hit, because they can. They are soooo big now (i.e. clearchannel radio owns 12,000 stations in the US and has greedy deals with recod labels so if an artist is on the "wrong one" they are screwed out of millions in air play!).
It's not about taste any more, it's just about money. VH1 has MTV syndrome because if they can convince their advertisers that their prime audience is YOUNG and teeny bopper-y, (as opposed to classic rock dinosaurs) then they get big bucks to advertise because young people are proven to buy more stuff. Stevie appeals to young and old alike. But J-lo pretty much only appeals to the young crowd so its a safer bet advertisers will cough up the $$$. Shame on VH1 for trying to please their bank accounts instead of their viewers.  By the way, that's soooo true about Courtney Love's line, Livia. Thanks for pointing that out. -Sonia
