WTF?????

Katy Perry is right up there with Bucks Fizz, so give her a break.

Me too, since I thought you had to actually be talented to get one

How could you possibly think that, submitter?

Why would any real musician ever give a fark about the Grammys? Anybody with class should just do what Brando and George C. Scott did with their Oscars.

But she kissed a girl and she liked it.

I found out something that surprised me yesterday. Apparently the Jonas Brothers are actually real brothers.

Actually Ted Jonas was adopted but still has the same amazing looks and musical ability.

I can't decide if Katy Perry is actually attractive, or if she just has a really good makeup/stylist crew that just makes it seem that way.

Any opinions?

I saw the JoBros this summer in concert, they weren't half bad. I enjoyed the hell out of it, even surrounded my thousands of my middle child's peers. Plus, I learned to play two of their songs, and they aren't three chord rock and roll by any means.

Katy Perry is somewhat no-talent. But she has charisma. And a fantastic rack.

Won't ever forget the Simpsons take on the subject, as in Quincy Jones giving them away.

/Here, have a Grammy
//other joke is that the next phrase said is "...now go away."

 
bGizzy [TotalFark] 2008-12-04 11:37:32 PM  
Just like Hanson were shocked when they got 3 grammy nominations. Not exactly a benchmark of quality anymore.

 
Wrapped in Piano Strings 2008-12-04 11:45:55 PM  
Wait. The Jonas Brothers sort of look like...

blog.mlive.com

No. No, they don't. Forget it ever happened. Damn you, Disney. Damn you and your parallels.

Grammy awards don't mean anything anymore, at least not beyond "the most awards go to the cardboard-cutout singers who have been marketed most effectively."

/Seriously, what's up with the Jonas Brothers' vintage-1964 suit-things?

i'm kind of in the "grammys don't matter" camp, but I'm still bitter that Steeling freakin Dan got the grammy for Album of the Year with "Two against nature" instead of "Kid A" by Radiohead.

Surprised no one caught this yet:

FTFA: As for who the Jonas Brothers are would like to see win, they would like to see Coldplay's "Viva la Vida" win record of the year.

I are would like to see the author go back to English class.

Katy Laughs at your silly assumptions...

"Who needs talent when I have these?"


She has precedents:

History is backing her up.

Slight objection. Christine Aguilera can actually sing.

Did the Jonas Brothers get a really dark tan lately?

 
Olympus Mons 2008-12-05 07:34:14 AM  
I heard them going off on how Spear's new CD was too late to be nominated. I just don't get people. They are so stuck on the same crap. Its the same tired un-imaginative acts as 10 years ago almost.

I'm going to go listen too Porcupine Tree's, Fear The Blank Planet, now.

 
dionysusaur 2008-12-05 08:14:29 AM  
Like a Britney album, there is tremendous talent on display on these recordings. None of it the artists', sadly, but impressive nonetheless.

/ legs. niiiice.

 
acweezer17 2008-12-05 08:22:28 AM  
Well, here's the thing. I have to think that Katy Perry is hot, because she looks almost exactly like Zooey Deschanel.


And I love me some Zooey Deschanel.

Lisa: You won a Grammy.

Homer: I mean an award that's worth something.

the real shock is lil wayne's nominations. worst. rapper. evar.

review of his song 'mrs officer' sums it up nicely here

http://www.411mania.com/music/columns/88947

Please note for future reference that traveling on a tour bus loaded with 105 grams of marijuana, 41 grams of ecstasy and almost 29 grams of cocaine may lead to some very bizarre fantasies.

Katy Perry is more about the legs than the Wonderbra.

Although in bighasbeen's headshot, she does have a bit of the Jennifer Wilbanks eyes thing going on.

The Jonas Brothers are like Hanson and Billy Ray Cyrus, a reasonable amount of actual talent over-packaged as teen idol.

Katy Perry is not a complete hack and she has not embarrassed herself AFAIK to the degree that Xtina, Britney, Lindsay Lohan, etc., all have.

FWIW, I can't listen to an entire song of Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana. I just can't.

If by Xtina you mean Aguilera - when has she ever embarrassed herself? Unless I've completely missed something she's always seemed like a very professional, extremely talented well-kept young woman. Like, the opposite of Britney.

 
unfarkingbelievable 2008-12-05 01:41:22 PM  
I had to endure the Jonas jerks during a T-day NFL game (forget which one) -- they absolutely sucked. Can't sing, can't even lypsynch well, spasticated St. Vitus-dances. I do not get this "band" at all.

They were just as bad as that horrendous can't sing at all Disney screecher who butchered the anthem.

Disney should stick to only theme parks and cartoons.

 
Olympus Mons 2008-12-05 01:58:41 PM  
I must add that, that Aguilera photo of her wrapped in a sheet is very nice. The girl can sing too. Maybe she over sings to often, but she does have talent.

 
ethbone 2008-12-05 02:27:03 PM  
Can anyone answer my question?

Who the hell are the Jonas Brothers and why are these young homosexuals so popular?

 
Riotboy 2008-12-05 03:11:15 PM  
Q. Who plays bass/drums for the Jonas Brothers?

/they need more siblings

Xtina was headed down that road in 2000-2003, with the Stripped tour, the faux-lesbian kiss of Madonna (isn't that a complaint about Katy?), and the "Dirrrrrrrty" video ... she didn't embarrass herself the way Britney did but was headed down that road.

Yea, and Yngwie Malmsteen can actually play the guitar.

This. And easily, the hotest of the bunch.

And the grammy's suck.

 
Hobodeluxe [TotalFark] 2008-12-06 07:16:31 AM  
bah there's plenty of people out there with more talent than what the major labels push down your throat.

Take indy artist and youtube sensation Lisa Lavie (^) for example.

A few weeks ago, one of my friend's 22 y/o sons was listening to this, while we were at his party, and our other buddy said "kid, are you a homo?, what kind of guy listens to that shiat?"

lol even the father laughed..

lol you homo kids, really what the hell happened to you all, get sprinkled by fairy dust?

Who calls people "homo" after 8th grade? Also, what party is this where you're listening to Katy Perry or Jonas Brothers? That's not even a place a "homo" would go.


I don't know anything about the Jonas Bros aside from the fact that they are popular. Seem kind of like a "normal" pop band in a lot of ways, kind of like new-Hanson or something. At least they're not a farking boy band with all the swedish songwriters and awful videos.


/There's a cracked article discussing the prior dubious choices of the Grammy voters...
