It's a slow day in music, when I'm looking at Oracle's KMEL lineup for concerts to go to. Not too excited over Lady Gaga's concert either. I think some of her music's great or one of them is and her attitude is refreshing. But I like it old school pop with dancing I can relate to like Madonna in any of her concerts, Sporty Spice of the Spice Girls or Alanis Morissette filling the concert with her energetic performances and getting fat guys to rock with her on You Oughta Know. Or Madonna's sweat falling on your face as she makes her way through her elevated catwalks like in the Re-invention tour. The Spice Girls with Holler directed by Jamie King. There hasn't been one concert I wanted to go to since the Sweet and Sticky Tour about 2 years ago.
I singled out Lady Gaga because some of my fellow small publishers were blasting her music in front of my table which has Madonna's portraits all over it. I guess to get a rise out of me, because people are buying my stuff and not theirs. I'm not upset in any way. I just feel people who are listening to her now are out of touch with what's happening. I was listening to her first record the very first week it came out. So it's old to me now. Madonna's Borderline is like 25 years old and it beats anything out there. And she's got 50 songs like that.
I listened to her second album and was incredibly disappointed. Poker Face is the same as one of the hits in the second one.
Why Madonna, Spice Girls or Alanis. Because they relate to the young and old. And the media would know that if they actually could afford to go these concerts. And they astonish with actual dancing.
