New Thread

Not going to taint the Hip Hop thread since the discussion started getting away from the main topic. I said it would be on the U-Tubes and it instantly was. Chris Stapleton and Justin T. kill it. Two songs. Here's the first. If you don't get it, I can't help you,

I know we post videos all the time with little reaction. Srsly give these a shot. Put on headphones and crank it. Such a great blend of country and blues. Stapleton just won new artist and album of the year and it's a complete departure from what "country" has become. And Timberlake is just a damn fine performer. They kicked this awards show in the ass. Worth the watch.

I usually don't watch the CMA's but wife was watching when I walked in during this. Holy shit what a performance. I really like JT anyway, but him and Staplton killed this. After I heard that, I listened to a couple of Staplton's song and think I could get in to this guy too. These guys last night were incredible.

And is there anything that Justin Timberlake can't do? He just integrated the CMA's.

Agree.

But call me a pessimist or a student of history, it wont be allowed to last. Someone will see it as an opportunity to sell millions of records. Theyll sign em to a big fat contract and do their best to appeal to 16-27 year old girls and "bro country" guys that pretend to be cool. Thats their audience...not you or I or Snags. They want to sell millions in Wal Marks or Itunes or Amazon. Not make good music. Just about anyone that is decent seems to go the route of Taylor Swift, Fla-Ga Line or Luke Bryan.

Sorry. Blake's face is buried between Gwen's legs.

He is by far one of the best artists in the last 20 years. It's a shame a faction of people refuse to even consider him because of the boy band era. Dude is really good, and can really sing.

Agreed. I would have taken the wife to his concert, but I didn't want to drop freaking $400/piece for tickets in the nose bleed...

Agree....guy is a talent. I liken him to Prince before him, who is/was a lot more talented of a musician than people gave him credit for. Timberlake is kind of multifaceted to me, does it all.

Just in the same way that people saw them as pop entertainers but both being much much more than that.

Both Prince and JT are off the charts talented and versatile.

On a side note, Prince wrote Manic Monday for The Bangles. I only mention that because Suzanna was so hot.

I doubt she had sugar walls....

When JT has enough music recorded to release a new album every year for the next hunnert years, we can talk!

Me thinks the Prattville Lion missed the point. Both looked at as more shallow pop rockers when in reality both are really much more than that.

Whatever. JT might reach Prince's level one day. But it ain't today.

He might want to practice a few more or fifty instruments first.

Timberlake is talented, but he ain't no Prince yet.
