I used to see MTV all the time before it turned into a useless and pathetically boring channel. The music on MTV is almost non-existent.

I can't stand MTV anymore...the only show that is decent that I watch if I catch it is Made...that's not a bad show...but it's all reality shows now. I use to love TRL. That was the best show.

Yeah. It would have been better if they just made it a plain music tv don't you think?

Exactly..I mean that's how it started out and got big in the first place. It's just turned so so plastic lately. They cater to teens and preteens only, as if adults don't listen to music!

Yes but isn't it the artist or recording lable making the videos? I find it hard to believe theres no market. There has to be tons of bands that would be happy to recieve less for the air play. Good thing for you tube

Wow, I haven't heard or seen this one in years. This is when it was actually MUSIC television. Oh well, I don't see it changing back again anytime soon, so from now on I will stick to the internet for music videos.

With i-phones and Xbox360s around nowadays, it's far better, financially and labor-wise, to sell them directly to the end users. It beats hunting around to find advertisers who will pay to air the music videos.

Sure you're paying through the nose per song ($5-$8 a download) but you can watch it whenever you want.

There's a music video channel in one of the Latino lineups, Texty Beat! on LATV. It has two sponsor groups: advertisers and viewers. What makes Texty Beat interesting is that viewers can send a text SMS for 99 cents a message, which will air in a scroller on a future episode.

I'll tolerate anything that's not this song, anyhow: Aqua - Barbie Girl

LOL, my niece was a huge fan of that song. Oooh it's like nails on a chalk board.

Aqua- Barbie Girl for my opinion is not a thing I would call "music". It is plastic pure.

But nowadays it would perfectly fit to the MTV which is now on screen.

I am sorry, I would like to have that old MTV back.
