5 Music Artists That Need to Find Something Else to Sing About

There are a lot of things wrong with the music industry today (The Black Eyed Peas exist, which I think is one of the biggest problems). The artists are all weirdly named, the radio kills every good song ever made and they all drop the f-word too much.

My biggest problem though (besides the Black Eyed Peas) is the total lack of creativity shown lately (oh, wait! That's the DEFINITION of the Black Eyed Peas). Every song seems to have the same beat, similar lyrics and the same synthesized voice of the singer. And then, when something decent does come along, the radio decides to shoot it in the face by playing it over and over and over and OVER AND OVER....

Now, I'm not saying there aren't generally talented people out there. I really like B.o.B., Jason DeRulo and even some of Katy Perrys non pop songs (California Gurlz however is possibly one of the worst pieces of "music" in existence). So, no, I'm not hating on every one in the music industry, but here are a few people that I think should find new stuff to sing about or just quit altogether.

1. Eminem
Alright dude, we get it. You have issues with your mom and commitment. While your last album did do a better job of diversifying your sound, there were still plenty of references to slapping the women that will inevitably dump you. Of course, this all might have something to do with the fact that every woman you AREN'T slapping in your song is white trash that you just want to hook up with. You have issues with women and this new thing called equality. Everybody knows it, so maybe you can flex those skinny, white muscles of talent and come up with some original topics next time around.

2. P!nk
I'm a fan of P!nk, actually. She has a good sound and puts a lot of emotion into her music. I like that. But when your last hit single (Raise Your Glass) talks about teen drinking and uses the phrase "too school for cool", questions of parental issues and major alcohol abuse are raised. Granted, I haven't heard the rest of her album, but if she has any more songs along the same lines of "Raise Your Glass", she might consider finding something else to sing about.

3. Linkin Park
Linkin Park has been, and remains to be, very high on my list of favorite rock bands. But they're last album "A Thousand Suns" was the weirdest thing I've ever heard. And that's including the Backstreet Boys. The four or five songs from the album that were actually music (not random 5 minute sound clips from a wartime radio show) consist mainly of the band rhythmically chanting African tribal songs, while some amateur techno music plays. Weird stuff. And then there's the song that seems to imply the band was abducted by aliens and are waiting for their return.
While substance abuse has becoming rather synonymous with rock music, I think Linkin Park may have taken a few too many "creative freedoms" with this one.

4. Lady GaGa
Once again, I'm kind of a Lady GaGa fan. Cerain songs of her I can tolerate and, honestly, she's been drug through the dirt enough lately (though she CHOSE to wear the meat dress). But is it too much to ask that she release some songs with intelligible lyrics? I know, "She's a tortured genius" and what not. I'd just have a much easier time believing that if I thought she could form complete sentences.

5. The Black Eyed Peas
The Black Eyed Peas....just need to stop.
