Postmodern Jukebox, All About That Bass

[Glock 'em down]

Hey! That's my theme song! I always thought M-Train was kinda cute. But I don't expect any of you skinny luvin sombitches to agree or understand.

But, to show you guys what a sense of humor I have, check out her performance on Jimmy Fallon...

I've seen PMJ 3 times and its always been a great show. If you guys have the opportunity, I'd highly recommend going.

The lady starting off "All About The Bass" is Haley Reinhart, my opinion the best female vocalist working today.

Her cover of "Creep" has over 100 million views.

I’m a fat boy myself. Not proud of it.. For some reason today people glorify obesity which is what this song seems to imply.

That's one way to take it.

But I don't think she's glorifying obesity... I think she's objecting to the over emphasis on body image that says you have no value if you don't fit the super-model skinny body type that is projected on TV and in music videos as being "attractive". Ironically, that is the tone I get from this thread. This video is SO much better than the original because it has beautiful thin girls instead of that fat girl who originally did it. Talent wise? The fat girl wrote it. That's the irony.

Meghan Trainor could hardly be described as "obese", her BMI, at least as published and probably based on height/weight around the time her video was produced that has caused people to conclude she can't sing, was around 25.

PMJ is a very talented group, and the girls in it are beautiful. Meghan Trainor is also very talented, and very cute, and not nearly as fat as you'd think if everything you know about her is in this thread. Which video either of us prefers is irrelevant, people have different tastes.

She isn’t as fluffy as she was.

That’s the way I took it, too—it’s not about glorifying obesity, it’s about removing the stigma, particularly for little girls and young women, from not being “perfect.” Especially when that “perfection” is a false standard that’s largely the result of surgery, makeup, and Photoshopping.

My two cents says Haley is about a perfect 10 or very close. Megan is a tad on the heavy but still cute.

PMJ has covered a lot of songs.
I think they first got national attention with a cover of a Nickelback song when that band (to the displeasure of many) was invited to sing at a sporting event or something.
I think PMJ has sure enough showcased some talent.

Gotta pass this along from Morgan James, a graduate of The Juilliard School and trained as an opera artist, every word of this Aerosmith cover "Dream On" is crisp and clean, an amazing voice.

Psst. See post #3. It's worth reposting, though.
