Girlicious is the anti-thesis of everything I stand for. I totally agree with you that this shit is problematic, if not dangerous. Still, I find them fascinating. They're like a trainwreck. I can't turn away. *_____*

Also, I'd like to note that "Like Me" isn't nearly as bad as their other video, "Stupid Shit". This vid and song are painful! I mean, ow! My brain. I can feel it oozing out my ears. I mean it's horrifying. At the same time, it's so bad that I can't stop laughing. XD

Case in point would be a comment by tunenas on YT:
The lyrics are so sexually provocative:
"She's so vicious so delicious all the boys want to eat"
"I'll be your after-party"
"tell me are you ready baby"

Point is: Stupid shit means sex
If you're an adult, you don't need to run from authority to have stupid shit. This is aimed @ minors.

Usually YT comments make me want to claw out my eyes, but the ones for some of the Girlicious vids prove that the audience is thinking -- that it is critical and isn't just absorbing what it sees.

Personally, I wonder how many of the girls who were eliminated during the TV show looked at this video and thought: "Thank goodness I was eliminated." XD

And I'm secretly waiting for Video on Trial to cut Girilicious' vids to pieces.

On an unrelated note, if you like that kind of classic rock, you may want to check out Drake Bell. His music reminds me of The Beatles. He's kinda like the Beatles on some sort of happy drug. (Golden Days is my current favorite song by him.) He writes and performs his own stuff, and plays in his own band. And he's really amusing to boot. ;3
