okay so like, this fairly new artist called "La Roux" is starting to sound relly awesome to me. I don't know what it is, but something about the upbeat, synthesized electric pop combined with an English-accented female voice makes me wanna jump up and jam! dorky i know, but nevertheless: it sounds awesome. the first song i heard from her was "bulletproof", and while her music video on VH1 kinda annoyed me because i had to think for a second if she was a man or woman, the song didn't.... annoy me that is. It was fun and fresh! and for once i actually took the time to listen to the ENTIRE song before switching the channel. Took me back to the eighties for a second (though i know i've never been there.) Another reason why i like her as a music artist, personally, is because as i watched her music video, i notice one very important aspect this girl was missing in her "image" that most female artist wouldn't DARE forget!: she was not a slut. Yes, as weird and as alien as it sounds, she was not crawling around in a nude unitard howling, pretending to be an un-tamable slut-bird in a cage, OR wrapped in caution line tape in a jail cell. (sry Shakira, Miley Cyrus, and Gaga :P) needless to say that not only have i found her music vibrant and refreshing, her image matches it. at least that's what I've seen so far, i still have some research to do :)
