Most of you know that I have a guilty obsession with pop music, R&B, and Hip Hop. I usually can be caught listening to KUBE with the occasional station surfing for a terrible pop song to sing along with. I am the first to admit making mixes of Britney, Christina, and Justin, with a little J-LO, Missy, and Eminem to funk it up.
Part of how I get my fix is listening to Launch and letting songs just come on and sometime become inspired to investigate the cheesy sounding new artists. When something sounds like it might be trying to be the next big pop star, I’ll watch their videos on Launch and then decide if I think they are going to make it or not. Really, it’s like a car crash for me. I just can’t help but watch the videos. I admit I am like everyone else and like looking at the girls/women, but I am also fascinated by the idea behind these paper doll cut out creations of pop stars.
So…I came home tonight after work and XGym and wanted to treat myself to some computer time. I opened Launch up to play in the background and there was a “HOT NEW ARTIST” picture and video. So I played the video. Oh…my…god. Pure crap. What the hell? So at least the songs for some of the aforementioned pop artists are catchy and the dancing was good…or adequate…and sometimes the singing is okay. But this one was just plain unexplainable. I just kept wondering what made someone decide this teenager would be the next teen idol? There is nothing outstanding about her and she can’t even fake being hip hop, even though she tries with her gestures and pronunciation.
I’m talking about Jo-Jo. Apparently she’s done an ‘amazing’ remake of the ‘power ballad’ “Weak.” Now if you remember this was a song that came out in 1993 by a flash in the pan group called SWV. Gimme a break.
Then as soon as that video ended, lo and behold, Jessica Simpson’s little sister came on with her new video. Pop music never ceases to amaze me with it’s randomness in who they decide to promote and what crap makes it to the charts. But then again, if you check back with me in a year, I’ll probably have all of Jo-Jo’s and Ashlee Simpson’s music in my ITunes.
psychoanalysis of your most recent post dated June 17, has determined that you are just sooo hot. Thanks again.
I caught Ashlee Simpson’s new show on MTV last night….she is more annoying than her sister. At least her sister is funny and can sing.
Katietoft.com beats estimates
New York (AP) And independent research firm has predicted ‘strong growth’ for popular blog “Katie Frequently”.Speaking on condition of anonymity a spokesperson for the unamed posting research lab said.”We are predicting strong growth in three primary content categories,those being; “Dilly Dallying”; “Special Days” and “Complaining”.”We expect steady increases in all categories thru the third quarter with and uptick in “Special D” thru the holiday period”. The spokesperson went onto say that the growth in “Complaining” was ” a persistant indicator and a bellwether for future sustained growth” When asked about the recent rumours and criticism surrounding the site and its webmistress K. Toft the spokesperson said “you will find that is a lot of pure crap perpetrated by a bunch of also-rans that happen to be
linked to Miss Tofts Websphere”. Rumours in particular claim that Miss Toft is mental and probably a drunk:”I have no knowledge that she is mental,maybe “experi-mental” but not mental.” On the question of her sobriety the spokesperson would only say that she was a “fun girl”. “We feel that Miss Tofts personal predilections only enhance her appeal and we fully support and encourage any behavior she chooses to engage in.” Asked about competing blogs the spokesperson expressed optimism, “Katie Frequently is a fresh compelling mix of current topics and intimate insights that appeals to a
broad demographic” he went onto say “nobody wants to read stupid teenage political rants I don’t care how many times a day they post.” Asked to comment on expected changes to the blogs format the spokesperson said, “We recommend that the firm trim some stagnant categories and eliminate others entirely such as “Kris takes over my blog.” “We also
envision “Katie Frequently” as being the premiere “goto” blog with the other lesser linked blogs serving as satellites where readers can retrieve other KT info and especially cute pictures of her acting all cute and stuff with a menu or something in her teeth at various dinners and charitable functions.” The buxom 23 year old Miss Toft was unavailable for comment on this story. The research firm quoted has a history of supporting websites hosted by buxom twenty-somethings. from staff reports
Now that’s funny.
I too am hot and funny as well.

Girl, Where are you? We need a new post! I thought you were taking me to special softball on Monday.
KT, have you not, even after all this time, learned the lesson of what happens when you go too long in between posts?
So strong a wish that i could go and see you.
