I am watching "Fashion Rocks" on CBS with my husband and realized something -- music was good growing up. Rihanna did Madonna's "Vogue" (which was better than Rihanna's VMA opening act). Beyonce was awesome performing Etta James' "At Last." Then Fergie performed with Blondie. The only good music now is Justin Timberlake, who is performing some time on this show. Let us remind everybody that Justin's last album, "Future Sex Love Sounds" came out 2006. Here we are, two years later, and he is still one of the hottest performers alive.
What happened to music? When I turn the radio on for Jordan to dance, it is either this crunk music that I don't like much or something old, like Digital Underground. I want my boys to grow up to good music. Watching the VMA's, I thought musi went downhill. But as I watch "Fashion Rocks" I realized that great music is still out there; MTV is what went downhill.
As a parent concerned about my children's musical exposure, I think I will ban MTV in our house.

Joe and many of our friends work in the music industry and it DOES suck. Record companies are too quick to push out a certain image at the expense of quality of the product.
