Hey, at least I'm not a creepy Taylor Lautner-obsessed chick!
(Y'know, since he's underage and I'm .... REALLY not.)
Nope, staying true to my well-deserved rep - according to my longtime musician-loving friends - I still go for the slightly less obvious "objects of obsession." It's not the indie thing ... I've jumped on plenty of pop bandwagons in my day.
But there's something about a young musician blessed with that perfect trifecta of talent that gets me every single time:
* amazing writing skills;
* skillfully plays multiple instruments; and,
* sings like a raspy-voiced angel that at 15/16 was already WAY sexier than any
over-produced teenybopper in high rotation.
(OK! So he's gorgeous in an unconventional way - my favorite kind. : P )
Circling awkwardly back to initial mention of TayTay, I have to point out that - while still very young - Teddy Geiger is currently 21 (thank GOD), and was at least 18 or 19 in this lil gem of a video.
Do yourself a favor and check out his original music; he's got a ton of new music all over YouTube
(While far from "new," this song/vid may sound familiar but actually shows him playing instruments, since the embed below doesn't, I just realized.) www.youtube.com/watch
I can't imagine why he's not huge by now ... other than the unfortunate timing of his arrival in on the music scene semi- overlapping with the Disneyfication and marketing that has ruined pop radio for me.
I'd love to hear what you guys think, since I KNOW my flist is populated with some true music lovers. (Face it: Drake Bell isn't the most obvious crush-worthy musician to everyone on earth, but he is to quite a few of us!)
P.S. He didn't exactly suck in "The Rocker," either - tho I'm a little too proud of myself for knowing about Teddy's music BEFORE 2008. ;)
