LOL, that's your diversity? I'll do the same for mine and we'll see what we get...and I doubt if I'm even the most diverse.

I didn't even get a single repeat artist in 20 songs...but that is kind of surprising because iTunes usually does that shit.

Next 3 were:

1. The Spill Canvas
2. The White Stripes
3. Fabolous

Mine is diverse as fuck, and pretty large. And I GUARANTEE that mine isn't the most diverse or even nearly the biggest. You just have a habit of saying retarded shit.

It's dub step music, electronically made--just one dude, he's a DJ. I'm guessing that it probably isn't your cup of tea because it isn't for MOST people. But here is a song that he remixed to get your warmed up first and the 2nd one is an original:

<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

If you don't have good bass (aka shitty speakers or you're on a laptop) you might not want to even bother.

No, I just refuted his retarded claim. He always makes claims with no proof to support his argument.

Orianthi - Clapton called her the best female guitarist he has ever seen and she even appeared on tour with him a couple years ago.



She was going to be the lead guitarist for Michael Jackson's last tour as well

No, Crystal would have been the next Taylor Hicks. Her style is outdated and not marketable in today's music industry.

Lee has a very commercial voice. He will be putting out records for a while, in some form of a pop-rock band.

While I think Crystal had the better night on Tuesday....I still think America got it right. Lee is the most modern and most deserving to win. If they had American Idol in 1972...Crystal would have deserved to win.
I beg to differ. On Yahoo today, Crystal was the #1 search (then dropped to #2). Lee wasn't even in the top ten. Little girls are his fanbase. People who will actually purchase Crystal's records (like me) don't watch AI, nor do we vote on AI. Crystal will have a successful career. Just because her sound is "outdated" in your opinion does not mean she won't do well.

Lee won because the biggest fanbase of this show is little girls. They voted for him because they think he is cute.

agree with this completely....
Crystal is an artist in the style of a Carole King, or a Jackson Browne, or a Carly Simon, or even a Janis Joplin...perhaps the first authentic artist/singer/songwriter/musicians to make it this far on AI. Most are clearly just singers and faces, and their long-lasting appeal is clearly fleeting in most cases. She will be fine.

I am in fact surprised that you don't think the Eagles suck. Based on this thread, I pretty much pegged you as a Nickelback/Creed guy. And you didn't answer my question about your bullshit, backwards, flawed "logic".
Why..because they spoke the truth??

As usual...you would be wrong SQ in regards to my music selection. I might the have most diverse set of music on my Ipod out of everyone on this site
That's funny.

This is what I was thinking. I don't watch AI, nor would I ever vote for it. However, I heard her on the radio here in Toledo (They went GAGA over her) and was blown away. Also, all the news stations around here replayed her performances, and I was impressed. Her song "Holy Toledo" is amazing. I would buy her album because she is a genuine pure artist, not some regurgitated pop bull shit.


SQ, I'm not saying that you are, but please don't lump me with the brain washed people out there. My statement about changing her image was simply a question because I'm afraid it would probably happen. Should she change? Personally No. Will she? If the $$$$$ is enough.
