Thinking..... critically!

    We're all entitled to our own opinion right? You can judge people, books, art, contests, and music. The list is endless, but thats what keeps our gears turning, right?! If none of us had biased opinions there would be nothing to argue about! And lets be honest... sometimes a little heated argument is what makes a conversation exciting! Ooooo, spicy!
     So here's what's up. I'm going to post a few videos and I want you to think nice and hard about what you have to say about them. BE OH SO JUDGMENTAL!!! Criticize the music, the lyrics, the quality of film or sound! It's all in your hands now... pretend you're the editor and chief for Rolling Stones Magazine and what you say goes!

First up..... The ever so popular Lady Gaga or is it the lesser known Stefani Germanotta?


Did you like her better then? Or is she your Gaga Queen now?
(If you ask me... I prefer Stefani)

Second on the chopping block... Macklemore.
                                       (Warning: Parental Advisory... This ish iz baaaaaaad!)

Some people are sick of him. I cant get enough!

Third (and personally, my favorite artist) Dave Matthews.

Pretty simple song right?! But to me... it still says so much, and the performance is pretty impeccable. Grover aint half bad either. (Look at me being all biased and stuff.)

Last but not least, Jay-Z

Did you watch the whole thing??? It's pretty long, but I think its worth it. There is alot of information about art covered in this video. Not too mention the shear amount of humanistic emotions being tossed around that room. Good stuff... Good stuff...

Welp, we're done... are you bored? I hope not. I hope I got your gears turning. Sometimes, its just alright to be judgmental. You don't have to be rude about it, or "all up in ma face" about it.
Just think.... critically.
