American Mainstream Music

I'm not a huge fan of American mainstream music these days. Honestly, what's all this "I'm on a boat" or "I wanna be a freakin' millionaire" crap anyways? There are very few American artists that I actually listen to. There's Marie Digby, Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Charice, and David Archuleta but usually they're not the "popular" choice at parties and stuff.

Mainstream KPop is a different story. If you can't tell, I'm addicted to that stuff. B2ST, Super Junior, Taeyang, SNSD, SHINee and f(x) are my faves. Yes, I admit that I do have to look up the lyrics to a lot of the songs that I listen to. Still, their lyrics are better than what the American lyricists are pumping out these days: drugs, sex, and alcohol. Just sayin'. Along with that, Koreans actually do a good job of choosing people who have true talent. Sure, in the albums some of the singers' voices are synthesized but they can actually sing well live. That's more than I can say for some American artists (like Ke$ha).

This proves my point:

As compared to:

Yeah, man. Eat that, Ke$ha! They can sing AND dance.

PS - Ke$ha did sing a demo for "Run Devil Run," but she didn't officially own the rights to the song. SM did. I still like the SNSD version better, though. It's not because I'm prejudiced against Ke$ha but because the lyrics for the SNSD version were better. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
