MTV

This is probably on of the most interesting blogs we have had to do so far. I think it is really cool to look back at what MTV used to be before all the reality TV shows like the Real World and Jersey Shore. Because before reality TV they actually played music on MTV and I think that's pretty cool. I thought that it was rather ironic for them to chose the Buggles song Video Killed the Radio Star because that's exactly what it did. Performers that were not very video friendly or didn't make videos sort of fell by the wayside. That's where I will agree with Jon Pareles that with the emergence of MTV the music often looked better than it sounded. I think this is a really terrible thing because that's not the way it should be. It should be more about the actual music or its lyrical content instead of what the performers are wearing or how there dancing. Sadly this is not the case with music now or music since MTV first came on the seen. I found it rather interesting how Jon Pareles singled out certain artist's for looking better than they sound. I would have to agree artists such as Poison, Nelson, and Vanilla Ice look better than they sound but I found it really funny that he mentions those artists by name. All in all I found this to be the most entertaining of all the blogs.
