The number one question I get from my readers: "What do you think of the Maroon 5 hit, 'Moves Like Jagger'?" Well I have to say, I like it. I think I'd like it more if it didn't feature the vocal stylings of Christina Aguilera.

Nothing against xtina, her voice just makes my ear drums bleed.  

When artists collaborate, it can be great.  Queen/David Bowie's Under Pressure comes to mind.  But by collaborating are you, as an artist, setting yourself up to disappoint your fans?  I bet when Queen started playing "Under Pressure" live, the audience wondered if David Bowie was going to make a surprise appearance.  No matter how good Roger Taylor's (drummer) interpretation might be, it's not the same.

I wonder how all the hip hop/rap artists do it.  They collaborate all the time.  I bet they use backing tracks for guest artists.

I hope this answered your question(s).  On another note, I wish that Maroon 5 guy would wear a shirt.  

Have a nice day.

I'm number 2 in my fantasy league!  I'm smoking everybody (except for the person who is number 1, ha ha.)! 100% pure luck, believe me.
