Totally agree with you there but we are the minority, Most of the youth it is all about image and the persona.
Anyone seen The Who though for the superbowl half time? Check it out on youtube.
Singing is not up to scratch and it sounds dodgy but I think that was the audio set up for the TV more then anything, probably sounded better live. That light system around them though was pretty cool and well used. Pulsing to the beat etc, I thought that was a really cool show.


The Who were terrible. I saw them live oct 2008 and they were much better but I think hes losing his voice as he ages because Townshend was fine.

Btw, Saints, who would have thought that.

Ive always thought Elton John was fantastic.

By the way, to those criticizing her for dressing weird as an act, well Elton did the same thing in the 70s. And before him, Liberace of course.

They seemed quite natural in it though, as did Bowie doing Ziggy Stardust, KISS doing their comic book charachters thing, and a whole host of other bands of artists that have done it quite happily over the years.

If you read the thread a bit more youll see theres more to it than criticising her dress sense.

Well I thought LadyGG was a load of sh*t until I saw that. I never realized she was actually a capable musician. I put her in the Taylor Swift category.

Its easy to take artists at face value from what you seen on the TV and write them off as another behind-the-scenes produced pop outfit a la Britney Spears, which is I think what a lot of people do with GaGa without realising her background and and talents.

She just fumbles through it. Disrespect to do a cover that you dont even know.
