From Meet Me Halfway to Bad Romance, the radio has been blasting out songs that are so bland, tasteless, and a contribution to noise pollution. People's perception of music has gone down. Now, the trend of music is DANCE MUSIC.
As far as I can tell, dance music is the worse kind of music. Sure, there are a couple of good dance music there, but when you hear it over and over again, you feel like you need to bust your gut. When I first heard Good Girls Gone Bad, I was so excited and got into the music. But good ol' Hitz.fm must play it over and over again until I realize, "Damn, Saporta's just repeating words." Then, the Gaga sensation swept over Asia. I think I've heard Pokerface, Love Game, and Just Dance so many times that I want to roll my eyes when my iPod shuffles on to those songs. I used to think that those three songs were pretty catchy and I secretly dance to them in my room. But again, Hitz.fm ruined my taste in Miss Gaga.
Then, Miss Gaga turned sweet with Eh, Eh, Nothing Else to Say, but like her other songs, it kept on repeating on the radio and Hitz.fm made a God awful remix (Gaga plus Bollywood). I nearly cried when I heard it.
Somehow, Miley Cyrus' Party in the U.S.A is a haven (a sanctuary even) to the terrible music dance music played on Hitz.fm.
Fine, I think I've said too much about Dance Music. I will be too much of a big Hypocrite if I go on any longer. Personally, I have inherited my Mom's Dancing Feet and I just love to dance. But with crappy, over-repeated songs on the radio, I need to put those feet to rest.
Then, there's the Two is Better Than One or You Belong To Me, which lost all meaning to me. Malaysia, please get your taste right! I know you finally realize the greatness of Boys LIke Girls and Taylor Swift, but my dear fellow Malaysians, you were just a bit (1 year) behind the trend. Why didn't those so-called faithful Taylor Swift Malaysia fans plead for her first album when I went scouring for it all across the record stores. Well, sucks to be the DJ now.
Going on to better music, I believe that songs such as Come One, Come All by All Time Low or American Royalty by Click Five or Drive Away by All-American Rejects are perfect substitutes for the music played on the radio. But if people are still into Cobra Starship, why not play Hot Mess instead of the over-repeated Good Girls Gone Bad.
For some dancing tunes, why not get influence by the all round awesome Glee. Their rendition of Don't Stop Believing really made me dance. Watcha Say is pretty good as well. Also, Morning After Dark by Timbaland ft. SoShy and Nelly Furtado is pretty good. But there are many songs, but I still can't think of any. You see, my music is influence by the radio, which is why I'm posting this rant anyway.
If the radio can't provide me with music, I'm stuck listening to Bad Romance or (gasp) Meet Me Halfway again and again and again and again....
Hopefully, 2010 will bring back some life into the once glorified radio stations of Malaysia.
