A Friday Five Four Today:
1. Who is your favorite singer/musician? Why? If I have to answer this question with on act, it's probably Richard Marx. However, I haven't listened to his music completely in over a week. I started liking him when I was 13 and it just stuck.
2. What one singer/musician can you not stand? Why? Vanessa Carlton! She sounds like she's singing through her nose and whines. My mother always stressed when growing up not to sing through our noses and not to whine. Vanessa's voice goes against everything I was taught. I don't mind her songwriting capabilities and the fact she plays piano in her act. I just don't want to hear her act.
3. If your favorite singer wasn't in the music business, do you think you would still like him/her as a person? Honestly, I don't know.
4. Have you been to any concerts? If yes, who put on the best show? Yes, 14 full ones and 2 mini ones. I'd say Richard and BBMAK.

Posted by: S at September 19, 2003 10:38 AMI've been reading about your Richard Max fascination for quite a while and never mentioned that I too like him a lot. Listening to his songs makes me think of good times... very good times 
Argh! Richard Marx is worth a fine lot of booty. Argh!
Posted by: Michael (Yog Sothoth) at September 19, 2003 2:21 PMI totally can't talk like a pirate, so I totally can't participate in National Talk Like A Pirate Day. Is Valley Girl bitchin' enough to reply in?
S, I think Britney's problem is like wow! that that chick's producers are tryin' to turn that chick into somethin' she totally can't do. Man, Vanessa, clearly a whiner.
Bea, for sure, I can be ya know, like, obsessive with Richard but I totally can't touch some fans with a ten-foot pole in fandom. Some have admitted they would download a clip of that dude burpin' and would cherish it. I wouldn't go that far.
And Michael, my Richard collection is worth a tiny amount of booty.

Posted by: Shawn at September 19, 2003 4:00 PMI don't have any particular singers that I can't stand but left to my own devices, I don't listen to vocal music at all. I'm not quite sure why that is.
Posted by: sya at September 19, 2003 6:00 PMI'm a person that needs lyrics, especially as background noise, but I do have a few CDs that are mostly full of vocal-less music.
