Only just seen this. I LOVE Katy. She's actually amazing, the CG video is great! What would you prefer, this that has some imagination or something dull like her dancing in a white room with backing dancers (YES I AM TALKING TO YOU BEYONCE).

Sorry, but you again seem to think that music videos have anything to do with the artists in them. They are produced, directed, and created by people separate from the artist, and for that they are paid thousands of dollars.

That's so... ugh. I feel like I need to explain to you what music is. It's not just interesting sounds for your ears to feel happy about.

And you think you know what music is? Just because you think you know what's good, doesn't mean it is. Music is what you personally like of it. Not what someone tells you to like of it. And about what you said before, what's wrong with Christian artists? The way you put it made you look like you're looking down on them.

You entirely misunderstood what I said, but I'm not very surprised by that.

And yes, I certainly do look down on Christian rock artists. They deserve it for parading their ignorance and intellectual laziness as art.

That's your opinion. And if you can say that, I can say this:
Your opinion, I look down on. And that's all I'm going to say. No point in arguing.

Well there is a very apparent distinction between my opinion and yours in this case, isn't there? I gave a reason for my opinion, you explicitly refused to give one.

Yeah. Yeah, I know. I'm fine with that. Let's just get over this though, mmk. It doesn't matter anyway. Screw this thread, riiiiight. <_< :gyroidsideways:

Well... I don't want to argue anyway. Peace for all. Because then you argue, and get mad over stupid stuff, and just tear yourselves down. It's a senseless waste of time. For me it is, at least.

You've been listening and consuming yourself in too much of The Beatles.

Isn't that what Lady Gaga did?

It is just a waste of time. Like I said, all it comes down to is opinion.

 

[Bacon Boy]

Honestly, Mino, I don't care what you think about the music i listen to. I'm fine with my Christian music. Most of it sounds like regular music. It all boils down to your tastes. You rate Christian music badly because you are not a Christian.

Most sounds better than regular music.

I think it's gotten better, as in "blending in with pop music". You know, you've got rap and dance and all that. Before, I think it was really quite horrible to listen to. It was all gospel-type. Now, it's normalized, as in following the pop trend.

But how does that make it 'better' than normal music???

You just argued that it was pretty much the same.

It's not that it sounds like regular music, it's that it sounds exactly like or worse than regular music. You can't deny that a Christian label and lyrics can easily prop up what would be an otherwise sub-par act. Also, even when I considered myself a Christian (gasp, there is nothing new under the sun,) I still found Christian music to be bland and pretentious, so that's out.

And Ciaran is spot-on about that. True rock began and has always been a rebellion against tradition, and in America and Britain, "tradition" often means the established religious ethos, namely, Christianity.

"Christian music" is not a genre. Some Christian music is not good (to people our age) because it is meant to be marketed to older ladies who like going to church. But a large portion of the indie genre is from Christian artists. Don't stereotype it.
