The World Of Music

Hey there, fellow CP fans. I know there are tons of people who hate Avril Lavigne. But consider pop music artists like Justin Timberlake. Singers like Timberlake were widely disrespected early in their careers, but then gained a good amount of acceptance from the populace. So... How would you feel if Avril Lavigne legitimately becomes as popular and well-respected as Madonna or U2? Before anyone starts flaming me, there are several plausible arguments that I would like to express. Hypothetically speaking, let’s say- - She leaves behind the ‘punk princess’ image, and entirely re-invents her style - She advances her music and demonstrates artistic growth - …

I'm sure that a few of us rambled on about this band, but i must say they are still one of my favourite bands. I love them..i truly truly do..

First of all it doesn't want to promote any sort of spam. Before i post the thread i already told The Boss about it. The idea of this thread is to share sites we use where we can listen music free on stream as LastFM or Spotify. Anyways if we already have a thread for that, or is the wrong section, mods be free to change what is necesary. Also if it goes spamily feel free to close thread. Ok, so as finally i won't be able to use Spotify on my laptop in the near future anymore, -due to their software not working for my current free OS unless i become a subscribed monthly payer user for their experimental version for my OS, oh irony!-, i've been wondering what syst…

So, since i mentioned to Jady some weeks ago -if i keep listening them after a couple weeks i'll open them a thread-, i'm sure there are more fans of them here.

Now im a big fan of jay-z and i really dont like cher at all! But i didnt see this comin!:shocked2: Cher Lloyd has signed a deal to join Jay-Z's record label, it has been reported. The X Factor singer, who came fourth overall in the ITV reality show, has joined Jay-Z's Roc Nation, which currently houses artists such as Willow Smith and Lil' Kim.
