If U2's new song was in Hangover 3...


The Poojer

Recommended Posts

I just looked it up and gave it a listen.

 

Holy pop crap music.

 

Unforgettable Fire was their last great album. Joshua Tree was their last good album. They've had some fantastic singles since then, but no solid complete albums.

 

This song drops them to a new low. They might as well replace Larry Mullen with a drum machine. This is crap.

 

And all award shows are now crap, too.

I made the mistake of actually watching most of the People's Choice Awards. Wow that was bad. Forget the horribly scripted banter. You could predict the winner of every single category based on who had been shown in the audience. I can hear how the recruiting calls must have gone... "Hi, (insert performer name here)? Yeah, it's the People's Choice Awards. We'll give you one if you promise you'll show up. Voting? We're not actually audited so nobody can prove anything." How else can one rationalize Britney Spears getting the favorite pop music performer award over Katy Perry and Bruno Mars? Not that I give a crap about people's favorite pop music performer but I hate such blatant "fixing". Edited by JÂy RÛßeÒ
