You damn skippy.

 

This is the one everyone remembers though:

Also, my contribution, a little Vanessa:

 

JC is such a dreamboat. I can't even..

 

I stand by my last post. Justin may be the youngest but looks like he aged the worst.

 

I had a thought: how many people thought Joey was older?

 

I always thought Chris Kirkpatrick was like 5 years older than everyone.

 

He's going to be 45, he's literally 10 years older than Justin.

 

I shared that on my fb this morning because it makes my heart just swell

 

Aaliyah died 15 years ago today

No you an angel you wave hi to Aaliyah

 

One in a million was the 2nd album I ever bought with my own money.

 

She's a solid artist actually. Always loved this one, co-written by her bf at the time, Stephen Jenkins from Third Eye Blind. You can definitely hear it in both the melody and lyrics.

Aaliyah was amazing.

 

My favorite thing that I've recently learned was that Simon Cowell attempted to steal "...Baby One More Time" from Britney. He tried to bribe Max Martin with a $125,000 Benz because Simon wanted it for 5ive. Max offered him "Bye Bye Bye" instead because he promised the song to Britney. But 5ive hated the demo, called it shitty, and didn't want it, even though Simon loved it. What a fail.

 

That is incredible info

 

Simon Cowell's biography -- I read it so you don't have to!

Exclusive Q&A: Simon Cowell on One Direction's Rise to Stardom - Rolling Stone

He sounded so annoyed that he lost "Bye Bye Bye"

 

Ooh thank you!

 

I'm gonna keep it real idek if it's good cause at the first note I got super excited and paused it to post it here lol

I just want to say that this book explains SO MUCH about pop music in the last 20 years and a lot of it talks about how 95% of pop music today can be traced back to Denniz PoP and Max Martin. Super interesting to read.

 

This came on randomly.

 

I always liked Pink casually when I was younger but now it seems like she releases the same corny empowerment cliche anthems over and over and over like I legit cannot tell a lot of her songs apart.

 

I can't even imagine what a state Baby One More Time would've come out as if 5ive had eneded up with it.
