Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July! Have a good one!

Style Sample: Kat Graham

Soo... Kat Graham. You should stuck with acting. It's not that you can't sing, or dance, but originality isn't even in your vocabulary.

So here's Kat. Looking amazingly like the queen of pop herself, Miss Jackson

See it? Yeah, kinda freaky, I know.

I know what you're thinking. "It's just that picture" you say.

Nah, no so much. She's pretty much Janet's twin, which is ok. If that's where it stopped. But it's not, unfortunately. She launched her career with this:

WHY? Do this to this song? WHY WHY WHY? So she started her career ripping off Paula. And so she continued by releasing this:

So now there's the Janet ripoff. "But!", you say, "She's a fan of Paula and Janet! She's just paying tribute." No. She's not. Paying tribute is standing on a stage and yelling "This one's for you Janet" or doing one or 2 of these songs during a concert. NOT launching your career with them. Kat does have some original songs, but they all sound like Janet or Paula songs.

So, Kat Graham. Talented old school style artist or Janet Jackson wannabe? You decide.

The Show Floats On : Modest Mouse vs. Lupe Fiasco

This sample is a prime example of why I love Pandora. I never would have heard this if it weren't for Pandora. (The original that is.) Just about everyone knows the the thief. First, Victim:

The blatant-ness of this one just HURTS. And I love modest mouse to :-( But it gets worse. Get ready for MILEY!!!

I hate Miley anyway, but...Ouch. That sounds like the beginning of float on to me, don't you think?
