I have to say this. I've been thinking it for a long time, and now I have to say it. Mainstream music sucks ass.
The song "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" by Daft Punk was remade into "Stronger" by Kanye West (gag).
The song "Apologize" by OneRepublic was remade into "Apologize" by Timbaland ("feat." OneRepublic ... ha, ha, ha).
The song "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap was remade into "Whatcha Say" by Jason DeRulo (thank you, grammar).
The song "Heartless" by The Fray was -- oh wait. Well, still. Their version is infinitely better.
The one thing all these have in common is that they take a great work of art and make it exponentially uglier and basically worse in every possible way. They essentially *steal* the song, and just change it a little (usually hardly at all) to try to make it more "popular," thus rendering its musicality brain-dead. Why must the envious celebratties spoil the spoils of the truly talented ?
All I know is they need to stop. No matter how crappy your music is, if you will at least have the dignity to make it yourself, I will hold back my complaints.
