Let The Beat Hit 'Em

Sex sells.

That was once the battle cry of the music industry.

Madonna has made a fortune by flaunting her sexuality.

Britney Spears is also a strong advocate of this cause that she chooses to go commando any day of the week.

Janet and her notorious hands over breasts Rolling Stone cover made headlines and remains to be one of the top selling issues in the magazine's history.

But these days, it seems the music industry is singing a different tune.

Angst is the new sex.

Perfect example is Adele who just swept the Grammys.

Let's not forget the Queen of Angst, Alanis Morissette. Jagged Little Pill sold a gazillion copies. The more enlightened she became, the lesser albums she sold.

Clearly, music enthusiasts enjoy angry women.

Given how men are such assholes, women will have plenty to sing about in the years to come.

hahaha, funny nung una kong napakinggan yung rolling in the deep. nagustuhan ko yung beat saka boses ni adele. hindi ko muna sinerseryoso meaning ng kanta. akala ko sobrang inspirational pero nung pinakinggan ko na talaga ng buo at mabasa yung lyrics...pang sawing-sawi pala.
