Hilarious Truth Quote of The Day: The Music Industry and Taio Cruz

Do you consider Taio Cruz's US career a flop?

The ATRL forum is probably one of my most visited sites on the web, because of the comments about the pop culture world that members come up with. If you haven't yet, please pop on over there. You won't regret it.

Anyway, I was just reading a thread about the flops of 2010 so far, and in the comments that followed, British pop star Taio Cruz and his album Rokstarr were mentioned. Here is a quote that pretty much sums up the state of the music industry by CxMxPUNK:

Taio Cruz's album is certified tin foil but guess what he's a miliionaire anyway off of singles, ringtones and touring. 

it couldn't be more true: despite two massive hit singles, including #1 hit "Break Your Heart", he has only sold 48,000 copies since his album was released in June.

Uhhh....

Quote of the Day: Justin Bieber on His "Swagger Coach"

I swear to God, it is not on purpose that Justin Bieber has two quotes of the day back-to-back. I just couldn't let this one go.

Apparently, the Canadian teen has a "swagger coach", as he told the Kansas City Star earlier this year. I'll let him explain:

“I have a swagger coach that helps me and teaches me different swaggerific things to do… He has helped me with my style and just putting different pieces together and being able to layer and stuff like that.”

Wow.

Quote of the Day: Justin Bieber on Disney-backed Performers

"I like hop-hop a lot. I'm really glad they've taken a liking to me. Having [Ludacris] and having Lil Wayne give me shout me out on UStream, you know - it's cool. I think it's because I didn't go through the Disney route. I didn't go corny, but, like, at the same time I've been cool and collected."

- Justin Bieber to MTV on how he became accepted by the hip-hop community.

The irony is just too obvious to state, but I'll do it anyway.

Silly string house parties?

Dance battles in bowling alleys?

Seriously? That is not corny?

Ok, Justin.
