I make the beats.

You know those artists you listen to when no one else is around?  Those artists you wouldn’t admit liking even to your best friend? Well, I’m about to admit it to my 226 best Buzznet friends. And after I go, then it’ll be your turn!

 
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

I don’t really like this genre of music, but I think he’s a very talented musical hyphenate. (singer-dancer-writer-producer-impresario-actor)

Also, I just find him Sexy. There, I’ve said it. He’s not even really that handsome. The shape of his eyes is weird, and they don’t seem to have any discernible color.  I can’t figure out what color his hair is, either. It’s not brown, blonde, black or red.  It’s like taupe.  But when that video for “What Goes Around Comes Around” was in heavy rotation, I would not stir from the couch until the very last frame.

NEIL DIAMOND

If Neil were a pizza, he would definitely come with extra cheese.   This is the man who penned the following lyrics:

“I am, I cried!
To no one there.
And no one heard at all,
Not even the chair.”

Next time you’re in the mood for cheese, have yourself a heaping helping of Neil Diamond. And I dare you not to sing along with “Sweet Caroline.”

btw, have you guys seen the movie, Saving Silverman, starring Jack Black, Jason Biggs, Steve Zahn and Neil Diamond?  Well, if you like zany zaniness, I highly recommend it.

DAUGHTRY

I don’t know why I like this guy; maybe it’s because he reminds me so much of Vin Diesel (another one of my Guilty Pleasures). Maybe because I feel sorry for him having to go through life with his  American Idol stigma. He may as well wear a scarlet “A” on his chest, for pete’s sake.

I haven’t bought a CD of his, but I will admit I  bought the one song from his album that Slash played on.  That has to mean something, doesn’t it?

ABBA

Who can resist these singing Swedes?  Apparently, not many people, judging by the success of the Broadway smash “Mamma Mia,” (now a major motion picture)  based on songs that were huge hits way back in the 1970’s.

Put on “Voulez Vous”  and you’re instantly transported back to Studio 54. Look, there’s Truman Capote!  You just try to sit still.

JAMES TAYLOR

He’s the chamomile tea of singers.  I find him very soothing.  When “Fire and Rain” comes on while I’m pushing my cart down the aisles of the A&P, all the stresses of food shopping instantly melt away.

HOOTIE & THE BLOWFISH

Man, I am so picturing you howling with laughter right about now. No, but I like Hootie’s  voice. That’s not even his name; I don’t know what his name is. I think I like these guys because hearing them takes me back to a time when I was young, free and in love.

Phew, I feel so much better now that that’s out in the open! 

I tag:   hollow1005, crash13, kassady, eyelinersmudge, hidedontseek, drsirdrawsalot, skintight,  ikkyg,  xblanksface, and anyone else with guts.

C’mon, ‘fess up!!
