16. Vevo?

WTF is "VEVO", and why are they making me watch an ad?

[Gabi Hayes]

17. big load of corporated garbage:

''Founded December 8, 2009 (2009-12-08) (United States and Canada)
Headquarters Mountain View, California, USA
and Minato, Tokyo, Japan
Owner
Universal Music Group,
Sony Music Entertainment,
Abu Dhabi Media Company

Vevo, stylized as VEVO, is a music video website. It is a joint venture between Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group, and Abu Dhabi Media<1> with EMI licensing its content to the group without taking an ownership stake''

[Gabi Hayes]

18. the best part:

''The concept for VEVO was described as being a Hulu for music videos,<5> with the goal being to attract more high-end advertisers.<10> To this end VEVO censors the content of some of its videos for language, to make them more acceptable to advertising partners such as McDonalds.''

[Blue-Jay]

19. Corporations: Fucking up the internet since 1995.

"If it's good, we'll fuck it up", a corporate drone was quoted as saying. "If you like it, we promise to take an unnaturally large shit on it.", said the unnamed source.

[pacalo]

20. It's hard to beat this voice...

30. All subjective, but here's a few I like better.

I do like the voice of who you posted though. Not really the kind of music that hits me, but I did like her voice, so I can see why you dig it.

Lou Rhodes

Lucia Cifarelli from KMFDM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6mlLsxhrIE&feature=related

Julie Christmas from Made Out Of Babies, Battle of Mice and her own solo stuff. She's my fave singer, male or female. The softest and sweetest voice one moment and totally vicious the next. I love it!

Of course, as noted above, the conversation starts and ends with Aretha. :)
