I have to say... I think some of those Camp Rock songs are pretty good. I'm probably way too old to like The Jonas Brothers, but I do. There! I said it! Yo Jnez!

I've followed Billboard obsessively for the past 22 years (geez it's been that long) since i was a wee lad of 13. Amazing that my memory of the charts is so accurate that I only look to the chart rewinds to confirm my recollections. Bronson's an arse...I'll always consider that column Paul Grein's anyway. Thank goodness he blogs weekly for yahoo about the top albums. So whaddaya think about Camp Rock's imminent chart takeover?? Man my daughters have me hooked!

I mentioned "UR So Gay" in my post here on The Critical Condition a few weeks ago, but then like a doof, I forgot to put it in my letter to Billboard. I was so wrapped up in crafting the letter just right that I got sidetracked. Anyway, to me, the two songs combined add up to a less-than-flattering public persona for ole K.P. I hear you, Alex.

Consider her last single, "UR So Gay", where she lists off about 20 stereotypically effeminate characteristics of her ex-boyfriend, then proceeds to tell him "You’re so gay and you don’t even like boys". Essentially equating homosexuality in men as being inherently synonymous with emasculation. She seems to have a real set of hangups surrounding homosexuality that I really don't understand, although they're really a fantastic reflection of the culture we live in. It's too bad that instead of satirizing and rising above this aspect of our society, she's essentially acting as the prime depiction of it instead.
