1) why do you care if you don't like the music?
2) see #1.
FYI, her "popular song" is just one on an album. See kids, there's this thing called an "album." On it, there is more than one song. When people say they "like" a particular musician, they are often referring to the body of work, not specifically and only the lyrics to one single song that is played on the radio. If you've only heard that one song, and that song defines the artist for you, then you don't know enough about the musician's work to make an informed judgement. Which is fine. But at least admit your judgement is based on personal music taste, appearance, rumors, and entertainment fluff, and not on the body of work.
You don't like her music, fine. Is there something wrong with you? Are you really that stupid? If you think those questions are unfair, consider how you come across.
Chances are VERY good you really like some musicians I think are purveyors of total crap. But I'm not going to assume you must be incredibly stupid to like what you like.
FWIW, I'm older than you. If I'm an old fart, you're just showing your immaturity

Music died when Elvis was found hunched over the crapper, pants around his ankle, with Percodan and Peanut Butter n' Nanner sammich in his blood stream. LONG LIVE THE KING!!!

I am 37 and I guess that makes me way to old cause I have never heard of her. She looks like she should be on a department of health pamphlet about avoiding hepatitis.
Guess I listen to too much sports talk radio with all of the awsome teams we have here in Minnesota. yeah.

[QUOTE=HKStallion,Oct 10 2007, 05:01 AM] Maybe I worded it wrong, but my point wasn't "Oh she is ugly, how can you like her music" My thought was "Oh, here is a strung out crack head singing to me about how cool it is to be a crack head."
