dirty musical love affairs.

Posted bycasey coombsPosted inToo lazy to label.

I have never been super obsessed over a particular music group or band.

However I have a very passionate spot for insanely talented, truly smart and oh so quirky artists. Lady Gaga? Love you. Hard. I may not let my kid watch your videos or listen to your music (hell, I barely do), but we have long discussions about how kind and genuine you are in interviews and at one time you felt awkward, out of place and freakish.  Look at you now.

Marshall Mathers, Eminem. You tortured, talented (and recovering) soul. I have a very soft spot for you. I know all the awful things that are said about you. I’m well aware of the awful things you sing about. But YOU. You. I’m convinced I could have been the girl to soften you, the one to change you. The one that every other girl would hate forever because I GOT YOU. Don’t worry, I’ve polled almost every girl I know, we all have the same soft spot for you. Most of them just won’t admit it.

Bruno Mars. I wanted to hate you. I DID HATE YOU. That baby face…goofy smile. “I’d catch a grenade for CHA?” “Put my hand on a blade for CHA?” For you. FOR YOU. Diction Mars. DICTION. But somewhere after all the CHA you won me over. I have no idea how it happened. And now you have a duet with my secret dirty? Fine. You win. I give up.

Jared Leto? You’re so strange, but…yum.

And last. Richard Marx. You are…wonderful. Timeless. You’ve aged well. You sing a love song like Ryan Gosling does a love scene. Right Here Waiting? I used to make out with Tom Cruise my pillow to that song. Whenever you come on the radio? I have a moment. There’s something about you. I love you. That is all.

Any dirty musical love affairs you’d like to admit to?

  6. George Michael. He may not be an angel but he has the voice of one.

    I especially like his Christmas song.

    “Last Christmas I gave you my heart but the very next day you gave it away.”

    I love you, George.

  10. I saw Richard Marx in concert when I was in college. It was awesome.

    And I have a soft spot for Eminem. I’ll admit it.

    And I do like Justin Bieber. Mainly to show my daughter that it’s ok to like someone that your friends make fun of you for liking. But I do always dance to his music and burst out in singing when his music comes on Radio Disney.

    Yes, I said Radio Disney.

  12. I am hardcore for Marshall Mathers. In fact, I had a dream about him that I can’t even speak of because the blush starts at my toes and bursts through the top of my head.

    Also, I confessed recently on my Facebook that I had a moment of confusing attraction to Lady Gaga’s male alter ego. I’m over it, but it still sort of lingers.

    Finally – every one of those boys in Mumford and Sons. I don’t know the name of a single one, but yep.

  14. Hanson. I loved them then and I love them now. They still put out great album after great album and I will forever be a fan. Not to mention their Christmas CD is one of the best of all time.
    Also, I have a crush on 50 Cent, or Fity. I listen to “In Da Club” every year on my birthday and I swear he’s singing right to me! I am Shawty!

  17. You only *think* you love Richard Marx now. After viewing this vid you will truly love him. Because what could be better than a well aged 80’s balladeer? A well aged 80’s balladeer with a sense of humor.

  18. Chris Martin of Coldplay. I know he’s happily married to Gwyneth and all, but I can’t help thinking he might love to snuggle up to someone a little less bony at night. Like me.

    And ditto on the Eminem thing. Us mommy bloggers could treat him right.

  21. Definitely love Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper.

    Always have love for Eminem.

    And…I can’t believe I am admitting this…but I have always loved Chumbawumba. I get knocked down? yeah, I get up again. How many times have I blared that on a bad day?

  27. my husband was helping me put the finishing touches on my play list for my marathon on saturday…i was scanning some music and fell upon a Killer’s video. Brandon Flowers…with a wedding ring. I told my husband that when I see a wedding ring the singer just becomes more sexy to me..um..bad huh. I don’t think it is because I “want” him more- but I find it wonderful that they are in a committed relationship…so committed they are married. And maybe it was because my husband used to be in a band when we were dating and first married…and once that ring was on his finger it was just so much more hot…maybe because I knew I got to take him home with me after the show..and I also knew he would show it to the girls that would confront him after shows that I did not attend and then come home and tell me about it!

  32. holy yes!
    marcus mumford.
    obsession happens to me when famous people(singers) become real to me. i got an awesome opportunity to see a private M&S concert and I also got to meet two of the band members…..and now they are more than just amazing musicians–they are real! (and seriously two of the nicest men i have ever met)
    sadly, Marcus snuck out without meeting with anyone. so now i am obsessed with everything about them!
    i love an amazing voice, and that man HAS it.

  33. Anyone who knows me at all (ahem, see my email address) knows Sting does it for me… but I also confess that John Legend’s voice is like musical sugar for me. And Daughtry?! I went to see Bon Jovi just so I could see him open the show!

  36. I’m totally with you on Eminem. I’m certain I could have been the one to change him. In fact I’ve been listening to him most of the morning as I’ve been angry at my boss. I will now listen to your make out song.

  40. My biggest weakness is long-haired metal guys who can play multiple instruments.
    Tobias Sammet of Edguy and Avantasia–he’s a little short for my usual tastes but his music reaches me in depths no one else’s does, and has since I was 19.
    Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth and I think a few other bands (pretty sure he does Bloodbath too but even I can’t get into metal like that). He mostly does death grunts but his regular singing voice is just so beautiful.
    Marc Jansen of Epica, formerly of After Forever, and the brains behind the operation of both. I stood 3 feet from him when he was doing a concert here and had lots of eye sex w/ him.
    I definitely love Lady Gaga.
    Solo German Artist Hubi Meisel…I believe he’s an angel incarnate.
    And the lovely mezzo-soprano ladies of metal: Sharon Den Adel of Within Temptation and Simone Simons of Epica. if I could be anyone in the world other than me, I’d want to be Simone.

  43. So glad to see I won’t be the first one to say Hanson. Yes, I force my boyfriend to listen to their Christmas album EVERY YEAR. And my family before him.

    Eminem and Jared Leto. And Justin Timberlake. Ohhh Justin.
