I Am REALLY Old!!! I was just watching some of the New Years Eve Celebrations on TV......I am getting tooooo old for this stuff.....I see absolutely NOTHING socially redeaming about all these male singers, flopping around and singing with one hand firmly clasped around their family jewels, like someone is going to run off with them......then the females seem to have an insatiable need to rub their behinds up and down on the men.......Lordy! Then I found on TCM, what a REAL singer/performer does!! The King of Rock and Roll, the all time great....my man Elvis on TCM.....Elvis on Tour!!!! As I am watching, it is a conglomeration of appearances from all over, all around the USA!!! THIS is Rock and Roll!!!! |
Ha! I'm watching the iheart radio music special. I absolutely love rap and hiphop music...but these people can not sing well live to save their careers! And many of them don't even sing along with the backing track, they just dance around and shake their ass. So much of todays music is so autotuned and digitized that with your eyes closed, you wouldnt even recognize the "singer". |
I'm 24 and hate most modern music. I listen to the award shows and stuff list performers and I don't want to hear any of them. I mostly listen to classic rock, but I like 50's music and some 80's-90's music too. |
Don't feel too out of it, Judy. I saw that, too, with the young man grasping his testicles in one hand and a young woman who twerked her buttocks at the camera throughout the entire "song" and changed the channel after I'd seen enough, wondering how that is ever considered "entertainment" or even socially acceptable for a mixed TV audience that includes young men and women, even kids. Wonder what is considered too raw or crude to show to the public on live TV and where will it all end? What will the next generation of "entertainers" feel they need to do to express themselves? |
Um, what about Michael Jackson? I think he invented ball grabbing. But I'd like to add... I hate pop music and top 40. |
Oh, no one's forgotten Michael Jackson's need to grab his own testicles to get attention and plenty complained at the time when he did it live on TV but his audience should have known he would do weird, crude things. But others have picked up where he left off and now TV is running their need to try to shock (and disgust) live on a New Year's Eve show aired early enough when many unwary individuals and families with kids are watching. Lots of parents let kids stay up and watch NYE shows but after this, I bet at least some will be a little more discriminating what they let their kids watch on NYE. That group with the twerkers and the crotch-grabber was just plain repulsive trying so hard to be sexy and shocking. I just wonder when crotch-grabbing and butt shaking, bumping and thrusting won't be enough for them anymore and they will escalate to worse in the name of expressing themselves while "entertaining" the unsuspecting on live TV. |
I ended up watching the show with Carson Daly, the music was pretty good, especially Lady Gaga with Tony Bennet and Seth Macfarlane (family guy creator), I can't believe how well he can sing. I think a lot of guys do the crotch grap thing to keep their pants up. |

Judy, I was right there with you watching the Elvis tour, were you one of the 19 watching lol. I have the TV guide down loaded on my computer, it shows how many ppl are watching what, don't know if it is a local count or state wide. I was NEVER a Elvis fan, I had 2 45's of his, "love me Tender" and "blue Swede Shoe's" lol I do like "I Did It My Way" by Elvis. I saw him on his first appearance on the Ed Sulivan show lol. I must be getting old too if I sat and watched Elvis lol, but I did enjoy it. Michael Jackson was my boy, my son as a young boy and young adult had ALL his records, his crotch grabbing was a suck my breath in lol, but still my boy, he was a fabulous performer. Madonna picked up on the crotch grabbing, now that was gross lol and her pointed breast attire . I must say, over the years I adjusted to the music industry ways of entertaining, After Michael Jackson and Madonna nothing today freaks me out lol. HAPPY NEW YEAR |

A million people in an area from early in the day without a Toilet or let out to use one. Of course the police were being careful but couldn't they have brought something in for them to use. |

We flipped threw all the NYE shows because we wanted to see the ball drop and the fireworks, the options were Carson Daly, Ryan Seacrest, or Kathy Griffin. Carson had by far the most tolerable group. |
Every year it gets worse. I used to love watching the old Dick Clark's NYE and a couple others to enjoy. I ended up watching Titanic on DVD and then watched the New Year come in. |
