I let slip in the chat room last night after seeing her top 20 and liking them all...that I love J-Lo's music and actually come to think of it, like all her films......so the cat is out of the bag so to speak.
What's your guilty pleasure?, and yes it will head down the sex route, within 4 threads, but look where we are  |

My guilty pleasure are shows likes Bargain Hunt, Cash in the Attic, Antiques Road Trip, Dickinsons Real Deal...Just to name a few 
But I have to watch them when Mr B is out as he can't stand them.

Oh, don't get me started on that subject. Too late.
You shouldn't feel guilty about guilty pleasures.
I was in the music biz for over 20 years and the whole rock credibility thing is bogus, overblown and a lot of pretentious bullshit.
Funny that nobody has a problem with Motown, which was totally manufactured. No difference between that and Stock, Aitken and Watereman except which generation they were the soundtrack for their youth. House band of pretentious jazzers, house songwriters, stable of artists told what to sing and when...spot the difference. And the Funk Brothers looked down their pretentious jazz noses at Motown at the time. Now they claim all the credit for it.
I'm glad for anybody who gets a gig out of X Factor, whether they win or not. Better than stacking shelves. But apparently Billy "Redistribution of everybody else's Wealth" Bragg doesn't like that. Because he's more working clarss than a shelf stacker, obviously.
Rock is product wrapped in an image and marketed to you. You decided during puberty that rock was the way to be cool like the big kids, and pop music, the hooks you loved instinctively, was for babies. You never revisited that decision, despite every other decision you made at that age being dubious.
Putting some distortion on the guitar is the easiest way to cover up a lack of song and talent. Add a good haircut and a political stance and you've got yourself a rock band.
I really don't need to be "made aware" of political issues by people who spent all their time in their dad's garage smoking and dreaming about being famous to get chicks and have everybody wait on your every opinion.
Paying your dues? Nobody pays their dues anymore. If you haven't got a record deal in a year, split the band and form another because it's not gonna happen.
Auditions? In rock it's called a showcase. It's still an audition for an A&R bloke who wants to be Simon Cowell, even though he's hanging out in your local indie club for a Monday night triple bill. He will judge bands by their songwriting, then their look. Credibility won't enter his head.
Pop music gives work to great songwriters whose faces didn't fit, who couldn't be marketed as cool rock stars.
It's much harder to write a good pop song than a self-indulgent "credible" rock song. For too long we've been fed sub-standard filler as some kind of gift from the "artists" to complete their "concept" of their "album."
A hook is a hook is a hook, I don't discriminate between Led Zeppelin and Girls Aloud and I never feel guilty about liking something because there's good and bad in every genre. |

Motown developed into the artists themselves being encouraged to write songs, this expanded Motown considerably from it's early beginnings.
Whereas Stock Aitken and Waterman rarely involved their artists in the songwriting process, nor did they encourage it.
That is the major difference....Motown evolved and S.A.W and their like never did......
Berry Gordy...Holland/Dozier/Holland just laid the foundations. |
