Being in love with you sucks. Good Charlotte couldn’t agree more. They’ve in love with you, but it’s become so tedious that they’re throwing fist pumps and screaming how much they Don’t Wanna Be in Love with you anymore. Not to mention the fact that Daughtry’s Over You, when you had no idea he was even interested. Meanwhile, OneRepublic keeps blathering on about how it’s too late to Apologize, not that you were planning on groveling anyway. Then there’s Maroon 5. Oh, they could have loved you, all you had to do was ask, but then you slept with that other guy, so they had to shoot him. Shoot him dead. As far as Wake Up Calls go, I’d say that’s a pretty poignant message. Loving you doesn’t take patience and understanding, all it takes is good aim. But don’t worry, not all of today’s artists have given up on love. 50 Cent is interested in initiating a relationship via the Internet, and when he’s tired of using technology, you’re invited to sit down on top of him. Can I get an Ayo for online dating? Of course, if that doesn’t work out, give Timbaland (pictured) a call. He likes you juuust the way you is. But so we’re clear, he will not be buying you expensive things, he has some unresolved credit debt, you should be prepared to use public transportation, flowers are out of the question, and correct grammar is optional. He will, however, strip for you. Free of charge. His body, your gift. You might even be his soulmate. With Timbaland, love is free! For him, for you not so much. At least he’s lucid. Justin’s so Lovestoned that he can’t decide what he wants more, your smokin’ body or that bag of Munchos.
If there’s anything I’ve learned from today’s chart-topping music, it’s that love isn’t easy. Especially being in love with you. Being in love with you is just plain god-awful. Ask Rihanna. She hates that she loves you, that’s how miserable you are. Bet you thought being in love was all sunshine and candy necklaces and picnic lunches and butterflies. But guess what?

Amen.
You’re right on the money! LOL I love this entry!
All good points, but your forgetting the most brilliant I-hate-that-I-love-you song of the yeear. I’m talking, of course, about Jill Scott’s Whenever You’re Around. She’s found a guy that she really likes, but she can’t cheat on her boyfriend because it goes against what she believes. Cause she’s got this fire sweet and true but she’s cold as ice around him. If that’s not brilliant, I don’t know what is. That lyric alone has won her song of the year.
best thing I’ve read today.
Thanks for making me laugh.
P.S. Don’t forget, you got Fergie clumsy ‘cuz she’s fallin’ in love.
Brilliant piece of writing. I’m talking Pulitzer winning baby! I am totally serious. Thank You.
Hilarious! What about Avril Lavigne saying that hey,hey,you,you,she doesn’t like your girlfriend,she would be so much better. Or the Pussycat Dolls who say they wish your girlfriend was wild like them,and wrong like them.
Very funny piece, but as Lorne Michaels asked Bill Hader regarding his Vincent Price impersonation: “Why now?”
I mean, can’t you look at the pop charts in, say, any given week of any given year and see it littered with a “love sucks” theme? Still, cool read on a Friday (or actually Saturday morning now).
No.
This is actually the worst, most irritating PopWatch post ever. Please don’t let her write any more like this.
What about Fergie saying how clumsy she is because she’s in love? Or Avril screaming about how she’s in love with a guy that makes her SO HOT and ridiculous.
This was brilliant and made my day. Your Daughtry line made me laugh out loud!
This is like a re-tread of High Fidelity.
“What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?”
Let us all not forget Michelle Ndegeocello…her new Cd contains Love Lyrics beyond our dimension, in one of her songs she is speaking about love in a robotic voice…which actually sends chills thru me its so sweet…however all the other commenters are right “Where is the Love? Just pull out a few of your old vinyl like the twenty-five version of “Love to Love You Baby by the diva before the word was invented… Ms. Donna Summer…ohhhh yeah.
i hate this site it sucks and the music is horrible fuc* you all!
