I think they should rename this series of CD�s, Now that�s what I Call s***! Because, it�s about as far away from worthy music as you are gonna get. Maybe to a 13 year old wanna-be cheerleader this is music, but to most this is bland, pedestrian crap! 

Yeah, I know you expected me to say that, huh? I�m about as predicable as these CD�s I know but please indulge me for a couple minutes and we will explore this masterpiece of crap together. 

You know you are in trouble when the first song is by Nelly. Ok, track forward� done.. 

Next�

N.O.R.E. - Nothin', wonderful a generic rap song�

Next�

Gangsta Lovin' by Eve/Alicia Keys� yawnnn�. Give me Salt N� Pepa 

Next� 

Feel It Boy by Beenie Man/Janet �. Lame! 

Next� 

Dirty Vegas� �Days Go By� � ok, I hear this song far too many times on TV trying to hock products. Fast forward�

Next�

Kylie Minogue - Love At First Sight� not bad for mainstream dance music that no one will remember 3 months from now. 

Next.. 

Shakira�s Objection (Tango) � wait a minute here� this is a hit song?  It�s actually kinda cool because it�s different but music with a polka sound and an accordion will never be really cool. 

Next� 

No Doubt/Lady Saw �s Underneath It All � there is no doubt that this song just flat out sucks!  Gwen, what in the hell happened to you? 

Next�

Jennifer Love Hewitt�s BareNaked � PEEEEEAAAAAALEEEEEESSSSSS!  Is this j.lo? Boring, sugary, generic pop music?? Must be an actress putting out an album. 

Next�

Vanessa Carlton�s �Ordinary Day� � Think Jewel without the songwriting talent. 

Next� 

Dixie Chicks� Landslide � When are people going to learn, you can�t cover Stevie Nicks. This isn�t as bad as Courtney Love�s butcher job of �Gold Dust Women,� but with Stevie�s distinctive voice replaced with generic chick country pop vocals, this doesn�t work at all.   I want to hear Motorhead cover this song, now that would be cool! 

Next� 

Aaliyah � �I Care 4 U� � �singing police, singing police�..�  she�s using 20 notes to sing a one syllable song�  Why can�t this trend just die. Give us some real R&B vocalist like Diana Ross and Aretha! 

�you still here� this isn�t torture enough for you? We�re almost done, hang in there.

Ginuwine� �Stingy�  - damn, did Aaliyah get a sexchange or did Boys II Men reunite?  I haven�t heard this much over-singing since the American Idol tryouts. 

Next� 

Norah Jones � �Don't Know Why�  - much better vocally, but the voice can�t save a weak song. 

Next�

Chad Kroeger/Joesy Scott � Hero  - I admit I liked this song the first 323,678 times  I heard it but it�s wearing a bit thin right about now.

Next. 

Hoobastank � �Running Away� Cool, I didn�t know that Incubus had a new ballad out! 

Next�

Coldplay � �In My Place� � I know people love these guys and the new album is actually pretty damn good but this song is getting a bit old and just my thoughts but they could have picked a better single. This one just doesn�t grab you like some of the other tunes on the new CD. 

Creed � �One Last Breath�  - �With Arms Wide Open� My Own Prison�.  One Last Breath��  The Creed power ballad epic continues..  Come on I keep waiting to hear Stapp sing� �Jeremy Spoke In�. Class�.Today��  I admit, I really did like the Human Clay CD but this one is an utter disaster. Not one great track on it. Fame has caught up with Creed and they can�t even do a decent second rate Pearl Jam any more. What has the world come to?

Our Lady Peace � �Somewhere Out There� -  This is Our Lady Peace???  What in the hell happened?  Hey, it�s a cool song and all but it�s a lot more mainstream and poppy than I�m used to.  I haven�t heard their new CD so I don�t know if this is their new direction or not.  I like it but it takes a bit getting used to. 

Bon Jovi � �Everyday� I�m rollin on the floor, how in the hell did this band remain so popular. They are the ultimate in cheese. .. 

�I�m a cowboy� On a steel horse I ride� I�m wanted� for bein� lame� wanted� for bein� lame.�  �Bon Jovi�s like Bad Medicine� lame lyrics coming you�re way�.�    �Bon Jovi used think they rocked. When MTV stopped Vh1 would play the songs all day� was tough�  Then Jonny cut his hair a---way,  tried to act.. but came back to play� it�s tough, oh tough� we�ll held on, for oh so long.. hope this trend would end it�s run� we still got Bon Jovi and that�s a lot� for Lame they give it their tops�..  oh we�re half way there�. ohhhh  livin� off our hair�. Take my photo, I�m posin� like Cher�. ohhhh Livin� off our hair!!!� 

That�s it and that�s not what I call music.  Let the flaming begin!
