the one about the best song era

there seems to be a lot of transgression throughout the music industry from the beginning of music till today. it started with Baroque where instrumental contrapuntal melody is enough to make your heart sing. Then there was the Classical and Romantic period where Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin and Schubert wrote beautiful pieces that can tingle your heart strings. Then came the artistic 20th century music which played around with dissonant creating abstract in songs.

Then came the emergence of MTV. and the definition of music has changed to include catchy rhyming (sometimes nonsensical) lyrics, hot singers and sexy vids. Then came the rise of *wait for it* BOYBANDS *breaks into dance while flipping hair dramatically by the beach* Yes, now looking back at the era of Backstreetboys, Boyzone, Westlife, N-Sync, 98 Degrees it was absolutely the tackiest idea anyone could have possibly come up with. When I think boybands, i picture a bunch of guys in their 20s standing by the beach wearing a white singlet and open shirt, winds blowing up their shirts, while they stare into the distant with a constipated look and pause. A bunch of guys in matching outfits, mushroom cut hairstyle, singing with overly dramatic constipated looks, singing songs with overly tacky lines. But it has no doubt captured the hearts of many. Heck, thats practically one of the biggest part of my primary school life. Alongside Britney with her "Opps i did it again" (which was so not oops btw) and Christina Aguilera with "Genie in a bottle". btw, I was a total hardcore Christina Aguilera fan.

There was also the Mariah Carey and Celine Dion era, where singing was still a REQUIRE SKILL for singers. Then theres the current Gaga and Ke$ha songs that dont even make sense. everyone has heard the songs, but have you actually heard the lyrics? juz watch kevjumba's illustration of their lyrics. The songs now are only meant to make you addicted to them through their overly charismatic beats n vowel like sounds that pass off as lyrics. i can feel my brain shrinking when listening to those songs. i know they are just trying to make a profit. But please just give us back the music!! What happened to the Bon Jovi era with kickass songs like Living On a Prayer? the kindda song that everyone would sing to when played at a club or even a mall.

Personally, I think that 90's music are still the ultimate best. When I think of songs, I think Backstreets Back Alright, N-sync's Pop, Christina Aguilera's Come On Over, M2M's Pretty Boy, Britney's Lucky. Thats what music is suppose to be, in between. :)

I'll be the one,

I'll be the one,

who will make all your sorrows undone,

i'll be the light,

i'll be the light,

when you feel like there's nowhere to run,

I'll be the one,

to hold you,

and make sure that you'll be alright.

with ♥
