Secret Song

What’s the most embarrassing CD or track in your music library? How often do you listen to it? Do you share it with your friends or keep it to yourself?

This question makes no sense to me. Why would I be embarrassed about any of the CDs I own or songs I listen to? I don’t get it at all. The fact that I own and listen to them means I like them. I’m not embarrassed to like any of the music I like because I LIKE THEM. If I didn’t like them, then I wouldn’t have them. People are actually embarrassed to like the music they like? Why? If they think it’s because their friends are going to laugh at them or something then they need new friends. No-one should be embarassed to be themselves, that’s just silly!

I can’t answer the ‘how often do you listen to it’ question because a) there isn’t a anything I’m embarrassed by in my music and b) I don’t keep track of how often I listen to anything. I just listen to something when I want to listen to it. Sometimes I can leave a CD on repeat for a week and then not listen to it again for a month. It just changes depending on the mood I’m in.

My friends and I share everything and yes we talk about music. We all have slightly different tastes in music but we all like pop and we all listen to the Top 40 countdown on a Sunday afternoon. And we usually listen together and rate the music and put our own chart together based on what we like and how we think the top 10 should be. That’s fun.

I’m always listening to music. And because I do gymnastics and dance and cheerleading music is a very important part of my life. It shapes a lot of what I do and it’s always there as part of my routines.

Jade Rachel teases me about my music but it’s not mean, it’s just just fun and its something we’ve always done. She used to tease my mum about her music too. And my mum and I used to tease her bout her music too.

My mum used to listen to Britney Spears, Hilary Duff, Christina Aguilera, Ashlee Simpson, Good Charlotte, Backstreet Boys, McFly – fun pop music. I got a lot of my music from her. I grew up listening to her music and it’s nice to lsiten to what she liked because it reminds me of her

Her old last.fm account still exists and her top 10 artists were Hilary Duff, Bon Jovi, Amy Studt, Simple Plan, Britney Spears, Good Charlotte, Backstreet Boys, Bowling for Soup, Bryan Adams and The Corrs

I listen to a lot of pop and disney music too. I like 78violet, Alexandra Burke, Ashley Tisdale, Avril Lavigne, Boyzone, Britney Spears, Cheryl Cole, Christina Aguilera, Demi Lovato, Emily Osment, Girls Aloud, Good Charlotte, Green Day, Hannah Montana, Hilary Duff, JLS, Jonas Brothers, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Lady Gaga, Leona Lewis, Lily Allen, Mcfly, Miley Cyrus, Pixie Lott, Robbie Williams, The Saturdays, Selena Gomez, Simple Plan, Sugababes, Take That, Vanessa Hudgens, The Veronicas, Westlife, Will Young. I like music you can sing and dance along to.

My top 10 on last.fm is Lindsay Lohan, Demi Lovato, Mitchel Musso, Hilary Duff, Miley Cyrus, The Veronicas, Emily Osment, Avril Lavigne, Selena Gomez and Simple Plan

Jade Rachel listens to… like.. plinky plonky new age stuff that sounds really weird. She likes Enya and Clannad and Enigma. But she also listens to some really cool rock music too like Green Day and Billy Talent. So sometimes her music is good but her new age stuff I don’t like at all.

Her last.fm top chart is Green Day, Billy Talent, Sum 41, blink-182, Fall Out Boy, The Offspring, My Chemical Romance, Shinedown, Bon Jovi and Enigma

I don’t really like my dad’s music either. He likes to go out to nightclubs and he likes what he calls dance music. I don’t think it should be called dance music though because you can’t really dance to it. He says what I call dancing isn’t the sort of dancing he does and so the music he dances to is different to the music I dance to. I suppose that makes sense. Different types of routines have different types of music but his music is just horrible and thump thump thump and gives me a nasty headache.

And, in case you were wondering, I’m currently listening to Shut Up by Simple Plan
