What is your favorite music artist & why?

I really like Avril Lavigne. I've watched some interviews with her and stuff, and she seems really shy and sensitive. She is also 18, and she ACTS like an 18yr old - she has a lot of learning and maturing to do. But she's nothing like Britney in my opinion, because she writes all her own songs and actually sings what has meaning for her. She also signs a really wide range of music. She is punk, pop, rock.. I think she's created a style all her own (musically anyway). I don't think she poses as anything but herself, and media has made her something she's not. Her voice is amazing and it's nice to actually hear someone who can sing both live and on an album :p

As for my favourite, I don't really think I can pick one. I like a lot of different artists and styles. I can't pick! :)

When I was in high school my favorite bands were Styx and Queen, but now I can't pick out anyone that is my absolute favorite. I like Creed and Default, but I like Tobey Keith and Garth etc, etc, etc....

I love U2. :D

I've been a fan since I was around 11 years old. Actually, the album that got me into them was one not many U2 fans even like..Pop. My favorite album now is Achtung Baby....I think...I love them all. :) And now, well, I have basically every CD possible (all the albums, singles, live shows, etc.) along with posters, shirts, movies, etc. etc.

Anyway, I don't know how to describe why I love U2 so much. The lyrics are amazing....I have have songs with good lyrics, or well, it doesn't mean anything. All of their albums sound completely different, yet completely U2...it's strange. They can change their sound in so many ways, yet it's always distinctly them. I could never get bored with their music.

I've seen them in concert 3 times. I wish it was more! (unfortunately I was too young for all of the other tours!) For the concert in Salt Lake City we waited in line for over 12 hours to be up close on the floor in GA. We were there at 5 a.m. to buy tickets also lol. All I can say is WOW. That was like a spiritual experience for me.....they are amazing live!! I like them as people too, not just musicians. Bono really cares about the causes he stands for.

OK, I'll shut up now. I love U2. Crap now you're giving me concert withdrawls!! :(

p.s. Other band I like.....Our Lady Peace, REM, Barenaked Ladies, Alanis Morissette, No Doubt, Coldplay, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jimmy Eat World....I'm also finding the album by Maroon5 rather amusing. It's unique :D

I used to love U2 and still like their older stuff but the new stuff just blows ergh!!

You have a right to your opinion, but of course I could not disagree with you more!

oh, how could i forget creed, default and no doubt! :D

as for artists i "depise" there is britney and nsync (justin solo and everyone else) there are probably others but i'm sure no one cares anyway.
britney is such a bad singer! if you have ever heard her sing live (yes, i think there was that *ONE* time) its painful to hear. she also can't act! if you have ever seen "crossroads" or "austin powers 3 [the scene at the end]" it's awful! she is fake all over and is such an airhead. "i like to travel to great overseas places like canada" :confused: no offense to any britney fans out there, but this is my opinion :)
and nsync are too whiny. that's all i can say.

i know mickey likes hip hop. i took him for a walk the other day and this car with his windows down was playing some CD (didn't recognize the song) and mickey started bobbing his head around. lol...sorry, just hadda share. :p

okay, i'll go now :D

I'm not sure I can pick one! I guess it would be Garth. I love his music and he is AWESOME to see in person!!! I also love Sawyer Brown and they are great to see live as well. Harry Connick Jr is an amazing mucisian (although not such a great actor)I have seen him twice in concert and he is hysterical! It is like seeing a concert and stand up comedian all in one! I also love jazz like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller,and Ella Fitzgerald. course I also like classic rock...the Eagles, Styx, Queen, etc. etc. Newer stuff I like No Doubt.. Okay I can't do this!

Dang Amy, your taste and mine are sooo similar!!

and it gets scarier everyday!

It would be scary if we lived in the same town! hehehe

Or the same State :)

I couldn't agree anymore. But i've came to like Justin because he's made so many songs with Nelly and him and Nelly are "dirties".:)

I really like Martina McBride...mostly because she brings to light serious issues that nobody likes to talk about. I only have one of her albums, but would like to get more. I really like Alabama, too, because their songs are "down home." I love country music, and like a lot of artists.

Ok i figure i better say this before I lose my train of thought.

This whole Avril thing, I LOVE the lyrics, only it seems she's so sad, almost trapped, and it kinda makes me feel kinda like I can relate, and I dont really care what people think but you cant make stuff like that up, you just cant. Yah, sure maybe she is stuck-up but hey, shes worked very hard to have as much as she does and with luck look where it got her.

**Ya, you may be right, she dont need to be like that but money does strange things to people, then again mabey she's not what we think. Its all how the gossip magizines and things turn her into being. Plus, I would pride myself in being an Anti-Briteny too, because I dont exactly wear tight tops and run around in a transparent outfit claiming "I didnt think it was gonna be a big deal." I wear ripped jeans that are almost ripped half way up the leg, even though I have brand new jeans laying on the floor.

***And unless any off us know her personally maybe we should try not to judge her. As hard as that may be, because it seems that judging is the easiest thing to do.

****I dont know what im trying to say now my sister just tried to shampoo poor Blueberry and I lost my train of thought.


"Anything But Ordinary"
Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby
Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the danger
I wanna scream
It makes me feel alive

Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

To walk within the lines
Would make my life so boring
I want to know that I
Have been to the extreme
So knock me off my feet
Come on now give it to me
Anything to make me feel alive

Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
I'd rahter be anything but ordinary please.

Let down your defences
Use no common sense
If you look you will see
that this world is a beautiful
accident turbulent suculent
opulent permanent, no way
I wanna taste it
Don't wanna waste it away

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh my self to sleep
It's my lullaby

Is it enough?
Is it enough?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

Is it enough?
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.
