ONE love, blood, life
Yeah - so I found myself at a Justin Trousersnake and Xtina Aguilera concert last night....
Let me just quickly defend myself by saying that no I do not like their music - I liken this concert to a big budget Hollywood crap popcorn movie. I went for the sheer entertainment value of it all. And boy, was I mistaken - just like many popcorn blockbusters - this concert was as plastic as a credit card with sequins on it.
Xtina can sing her heart out, but she was not having fun. Her "go with yourself no matter what" image is scary for girls who don't know how to be themselves yet, and still define themselves by what the popular girls say and what boys think of them. I respect what she's doing bc I relate to her in many ways that I won't say here, but I think she needs to reevaluate her approach in a live setting.
Justin... what can be said? SCREAM is probably the best description for his set, as is NSYNC. I won't call him a "no talent ass clown," but I don't see his appeal. I don't respect people who rely on fancy pants dancing to make their songs seem entertaining. I think that is disingenuous. I think it is masking the fact that he's not all that talented to begin with, so he has to make it very glossy and fast so that people don't notice that he is just a skinny kid with a very so-so youngish male voice.
Anyway.. I thought I would just share this experience with you guys since I felt it warranted a confession.

She said never again...the screaming girls were constant and ear-piercing.
