Our world is so completely dense that even MTV artists go right over our heads. Everyone saw Jewel's new video, "Intuition", and got really confused. People are saying things like, "Well...um...like...Jewel now looks like, um like Brittany Spears and like, well, if Brittany Spears wrote poetry it would like not work as well, so um, like maybe Jewel shouldn't like be like her." If you have SEEN the video, it is obviously mocking all the stars like Brittany. With lines like, "Sell your skin, just give in." Now I'm not really a Jewel fan...but I'm all for artists rejecting the idea of idealizing the world and flaunting the rich lifestyle. People have somehow forgotten that one of the most important points of rock/pop music is the lyrics, and glazed over staring at the pretty pictures.....which in return just proves the point Jewel is trying to make.
Then, right after, Jessica Simpson comes on singing "Original Sin" trying to make it seem like she hadn't had sex until she got married to her man with a rage problem. Right...like we're going to believe that. Go back to having sex and stop adding horrendously bad music to the pile of crap that is already out there.
