Am I a teenage girl?

Rasher
No you shouldn't think you're turning into a teenage girl. Anastacia has one hell of a voice, this girl can sing.
I bought her album last week and it's excellent. And on a good system (which we all have on this forum) her voice comes across even better. Go out and buy her CD and enjoy!!

Am I turning into a teenage girl?

Yes, and so am I. I was a bad boy a few years ago and downloaded Anastacia songs. I think Xtina is dead sexy and I derive immense pleasure from listening to her sing. A few weeks ago I watched a High School movie (one of my favourite genres) and one of the songs used was by Pink (I played the scene 5 times in a row just to listen to the song).

We're not alone and goddammit I'm going online to order that Hubba Bubba pop right now!

I agree that All Saints were a class above other girlie groups of the time, and there wasn't one of them that I wouldn't have wanted....... [CENSORED].

I can't agree about Pink or Anastacia, though. Both seem to think that volume counts for all.

Christina is quite cute, sings better than the two just mentioned, but she has a disturbing likeness to a stick insect and I don't believe that she has any eyebrows.

Avril Lavigne is the one who does it for me.

Phew!
I've ordered an Anastacia CD. I don't know what my wife will say though!

Rasher, if you're lucky, she might object on musical grounds and remove it from the household. But I agree that, with all this oestrogen flying around, it sure is getting hot in here!

Oh God!!! I had better get the tampons in!!

You could always say it is to play to your new unborn...

There are laws about torturing children aren't there?

And in answer to the first question only if you get moody every day rather than just once a month.

Yum yum... Is her second album any good???

I've got Anastacia's "Not that kind" on CD - not bad at all...

I keep meaning to pick up "Saints and sinners" - I've got the "Pure Shores" CD, and out of the four, I want the one with the fruit in her mouth (on the cover - is that Natalie??? yum yum)...

AL's second album isn't as striking as her first, but it's certainly a grower. And it has some rather nice bleached out photos of the young lady.

Oh, and if it had to be just one of All Saints, it'd have to be Mel Blatt. Do you remember THAT photocopier ad from some 18 months ago?

G

This doesn't mean you're teenage girls, it means you're teenage boys. Now, if you start listening to N'Sync or the Backstreet Boys...

Hey, there's always going to be some good pop in with the dross. Pure Shores and Black Coffee are quite superb.

I don't like Anastasia, as Graham says - lacking any sort of subtlety for me. However other recentish singles that I think are excellent.

Rachel Stevens - Love your LAX (or whatever). Brilliant riff. A heavy rock version of this track would be ace.

That Eamon track - The best thing that Prince never did.

Bhazen: I'm sorry to have to disagree, but I think that you're profoundly wrong about the fanbase for Christina, Titney, Avril et al. They have two quite separate fanbases. The first attend their concerts and are invariably young prepubescent or just postpubescent girls, who like them as singers and aspirational role models. The second are the rather sad old men, who really ought to know better and who would just as soon watch the videos with the sound turned down, as long as the silly little minxes haven't put too many clothes on. (They also subscribe to this Forum.) The two fanbases only intermingle when fathers chaperone their daughters to the concerts (and probably take binoculars and earplugs).

N'sync or Backsteet Boys get young white boys along, wearing reversed baseball caps and baggy jeans falling half-way down their arses , aiming to appear "rude". It may be that the parent acting as chaperone on this occasion would be the mother!

G

maybe... but the xbox pushes you from teenage girl to teenage boy... just

Good grief! Whatever next?

Isn't this why they call it pop music?

As in: "popular"?

The acid test (for all members) is whether you can name a young female singer who actually keeps her clothes on and you still like her music enough to buy her CDs.

Well, I know that this will subject me to derision, but Katie Melua doesn't get her kit off, and I like her CD very much.

But, Nime, I think that you're rather missing the point. The idea that I was trying to get across in my previous posting is that, for many sad old gits such as me, we don't give a toss (unfortunate choice there!) about what the little minxes are singing, we're just happy that they didn't bother about putting on too many clothes for their video shoots. Are you telling me that you listened to the "music" when/if you first saw Aguilera's video of "Nasty" - but, there again, I'm not sure if that was its name. It was the one in which she "fought" another girl in a boxing ring and "danced", or should that be "writhed" - rather gratuitously, in my view - in a communal shower room. And she appeared to be wearing red panties throughout most of it all. So, from all this recall of the pictures, and so little of the title/words/music, I see that I am indeed a very sad old git!

G

Okay you're a sad old git and I didn't miss the point at all.

I must admit that I find Aggy somewhat sexless in a state of undress. Perhaps I'm one of those sad old gits who needs a bit more flesh on their pop-tarts' bones?
Meant in the nicest possible way of course and only in the right places (you understand)... and no I don't mean BIG JUGS double portions, at all! Just a bit more "girly"?

A propos your acid-test:
Kate Bush is the only one I can recall,
and she isn´t that young anymore.

You obviously didn't see Kate in her own TV show wearing something close to latex. It was very hard to look her in the eye, as I recall. 1980's? Despite being a "clock person" I have no track of time whatsoever.

She had a stunning vocal range, always slightly spoilt for me by poor articulation. Very good looking girl in her prime. I still have Lionheart on vinyl somewhere. It was much played in its time. Sadly (or not) we all grow older. I haven't heard much from her for years apart from the odd playing of Wuthering Heights on the radio.
Something with Peter Gabriel as well. "Dont give up"?

Tell a lie! I have her singing "Women of Ireland" in the most incredible voice on the first of "The Celtic Circle" series double-CD.(on CD2)

Having started this, I would just like to point out that I have not personally mentioned anything about how these girls look, or in what state of undess they appear in their videos (which I don't see as I have better things to do than watch MTV). My enquiry was about the music, and the music only.
I think I would rather be accused of being a teenage girl than a sad old git personally, and leering at a teenage video of girls that could be your daughter is just downright pervy.
Seriously though....don't all these girl singers look and sound exactly the same? The thing that drew me to Anastacia is that there was an identitfiable character in her music & voice. The others just sound indentical.
When they go out shopping, do they all have 12 people standing in a row behind them copying their every move? It's all been like this since Michael Jackson did Thriller, and that was in the last century!
BTW. It'd be Shaznay Lewis for me please.

Rasher

I've read your last post and read again my previous posts. I have looked deep into my conscience and can now see that I was the one to corrupt your high-minded discourse about young female pop singers into gutter talk about how they look and how few clothes they wear for their video shoots ( otherwise known as their sh*gg*blity quotient).

I can see now that I was profoundly mistaken in perverting your highly intended intercourse on the values of young girls who sing. I shall now go and administer a severe dose of corporal mortification - unless, that is, Avril Lavigne would care to come and administer the punishment herself.

Nime
I haven´t seen her, but I allways enjoyed her albums, which I still own - inclusive Lionheart.
Another fine contemporary female singer was Kim Wilde, not Bush-quality of course, but a fine number two. She may pass your acid-test too.
Cheers

I know next to nothing about Kim Wilde.
It might be better to keep it that way!

I used to drive my wife mad with repeated playings of Joan Armatrading. "Show some Emotion" was her best before she went all Heavy Metal.

Blondie was just too much! Though I can't really see why. I never objected to her listening to Roxy Music for hours on end.

Music is a double-edged sword!

Was this Joan or your wife?

If my Music Collection list ever gets published/shown I would like to point out the Girl band and similar CDs are my youngest daughters.(Honest) I have the DVDs (no I don't really)

Both! My own more ecclectic tastes have now been roundly dismissed as "easy listening"!

There's nothing worse than a born-again Metal fan! I'm trying to wean her onto techno for its similar bass content. But she's so fussy!
