Favourite artist as a child?

[MeganJane]

I remember liking the music of Billy Squier, and I had the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tape.

I had a TMNT tape too! (Mine was songs from the first movie.) It came with a book and 4 plastic kazoos in blue, orange, red and purple to match the turtles bandana-thingys!
KAZOOS! How incredibly annoying that must have been for my parents!
"T-U-R-T-L-E power!"

I was obsessed with Britney Spears and N'Sync. I even saw Britney Spears in concert that's how lame I was as a little girl.

Then one day, I heard Linkin Park-Crawling on the telly and my whole life changed. Haha, that was a little exaggerated but that was the first rock song I ever liked and let me tell you, it was all uphill from there. I didn't become obsessed with Linkin Park but it opened up a whole new genre for me, I don't really listen to Linkin Park now anyways.

I was a LP fan in my teens! I LOVED their first album. I still love it but haven't listened to it in a while. It was all downhill from there  :cry:
What a pity. I can't believe they ever collaborated with Jay-Z. The result was truly atrocious. *shakes head*
Their new album has about 2 good songs on it and the rest I don't like. *sigh* To me, it sounds like they were trying too hard.
But.... they opened up a "whole new genre" for me too! They introduced me to "heavy"... they were like a gateway drug!

when i was in my teens, i listened to Alanis Morissette and The Corrs. i was able to watch The Corrs when they came to the Philippines for a concert together with my sister and her ex-boyfriend. as for Alanis, i wasn't able to watch her concerts because no one in my family or friends are big fans of her so i didn't have companions to watch her.

~Britney Spears (lol, don't like her much anymore)

~Michelle Branch (still love her music! can't wait for her new solo album)

~Avril Lavigne (1st 2 albums were good! the 3rd was a mess. She's changed)

~Play (hahahahah anyone remember them? seems like they're fading into oblivion)

~BSB (lol)

~VC! (Well, I only knew ATM, though)

[SadAsBlue]

Omg I remember Play. "I'm gonna make you love me"

[amberbeads]

leann rimes hahahaha

[shinesobright07]

I loved ATM ( i used to sing it at the top of my lungs and play spider solitaire!) Don't judge me  :razz:


 But when I was really young, it was the Spice Girls fo sho.

I didn't have a single favorite, I had a lot.
I liked Westlife, the Backstreet Boys, A1 (My big brother used to listen to boy bands. I got infected), Phil Collins, Counting Crows, and Vanessa Carlton (save the best for last, of course). I only liked ATM, though I vaguely remember hearing "Pretty Baby" on MTV.

I still like some of them, especially Counting Crows and, of course, Vanessa Carlton. Would I be on this forum if I didn't like her?

TLC.

They were awesome, lol.

[charmedguy18]

TLC.

They were awesome, lol.

I loved them as well. But unfortunately that's not near embarrassing enough to be my childhood favorite...

Oh God. ahh this is so embarrassing.

I was OBSESSED. I mean OBSESSED with Britney Spears.... And... Celine Dion. 

[Annie]

Martina McBride

[Sini]

I loved Jump 5 and (quite oddly ) Evanescence...

old thread but thought I'd respond just the same.  The first person I can remember liking was Debbie Gibson. I remember I had to be like 3 and wanted to go to her concert because my two oldest sisters were going.  Middle school era it was TLC, No Doubt, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, BSB (better than Nsync!) DMB, Sublimej Jewel.  Then as I got into high school -- Vanessa of course, Avril Lavigne, Michelle Branch (and continued DMB, Sublime).  The artists today who I still listen to - Vanessa, of course, DMB, Sublime, Jewel -- the ultimate 4 for me!
