"content": "\u003cp>Today we'll be discussing the post-sophomore album crossover attempt: That time in a young pop starlet's life when, not content to be defined by her highly profitable and rapid ascent in the music industry, she makes the decision to move toward a concurrent career in film.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are variations on this milestone in a pop star's career, of course: Christina Aguilera didn't storm Hollywood with the cinematic masterpiece of a vehicle that was \u003cem>Burlesque \u003c/em>until 2010, following the release of her sixth studio record. But for many, finding the perfect vapid marshmallow of a film on which to hitch her hopes of movie stardom is a pivot that comes with a period of self-reinvention, often a public assertion of adulthood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I bring this up now for a couple reasons: For one, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2015/11/02/watch-ariana-grande-school-several-grown-men-on-gender-equality/\" target=\"_blank\">Ariana Grande\u003c/a> (who's currently in the middle of promoting her sophomore album) will reprise her role on the Fox slasher-comedy series \u003cem>Scream Queens \u003c/em>in an episode that airs tonight, Nov. 3. She's yet to lasso her formidable ponytail around a feature film, but it can' t be too far around the bend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two: I will jump at any excuse to discuss the 2002 Britney Spears vehicle \u003cem>Crossroads\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given that my esteemed colleague Emmanuel Hapsis is of a similar disposition, we thought we'd take this opportunity to revisit some of the most notable pop star crossover movies from the past few decades. Each can be discussed in terms of pros and cons, acting abilities, and more, as well as mined for retrospective signs about where their stars were headed.

The plot is semi-autobiographical, following a singer's ascent to fame in The Big City, and various overlapping plot lines featuring business drama and said singer's love life, but to be honest the only thing I really remember from this movie is a scene in which Mariah isn't sure if she wants to sleep with the producer dude, and then he's all \"but wait, let me show you my xylophone,\" and then she \u003cem>does\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0275022/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\" target=\"_blank\">Crossroads\u003c/a> (2002) \u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb398BOlv0Q\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Okay so I've clearly already showed my cards on this one, but Britney's (only) attempt at crossover stardom is objectively notable for a few reasons: She's a terrible actress, to be sure, a fact made more obvious by her co-conspirators (the now probably wishing-this-had-never-happened actual actresses Zoe Saldana and Taryn Manning), but it's tough to tell if Spears' performance is more or less embarrassing than the script itself; together, they're the cinematic equivalent of the nausea one might feel after eating too many mall food court hot dogs-on-sticks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plot points: Britney is a good-girl high school valedictorian (!) who plunks on a bucket hat and takes off on a whirlwind, devil-may-care road trip to California with her childhood best friends. In the process, she realizes she can sing and wear crop tops, learns some things about friendship, and falls in love with the only character in the movie portrayed by a worse actor than her. This movie also gave us perhaps the greatest \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlV7RhT6zHs\" target=\"_blank\">desert-based adolescent ballad of all time.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0281358/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\" target=\"_blank\">A Walk To Remember \u003c/a>(2002)\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3b19svqbls\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I really can't do this Nicholas Sparks adaptation any more justice than this excerpt from its \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Walk_to_Remember\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia page\u003c/a>.

The head of the school gives Landon the choice of being expelled or atoning for his actions by tutoring fellow students and participating in the school play. During these functions, Landon notices Jamie Sullivan (\u003ca title=\"Mandy Moore\" href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandy_Moore\">Mandy Moore\u003c/a>), a girl he has known since kindergarten and who has attended many of the same classes as him, and who is also the local minister's daughter.

Also \u003cem>dance\u003c/em>.

But for many, finding the perfect vapid marshmallow of a film on which to hitch her hopes of movie stardom is a pivot that comes with a period of self-reinvention, often a public assertion of adulthood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I bring this up now for a couple reasons: For one, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2015/11/02/watch-ariana-grande-school-several-grown-men-on-gender-equality/\" target=\"_blank\">Ariana Grande\u003c/a> (who's currently in the middle of promoting her sophomore album) will reprise her role on the Fox slasher-comedy series \u003cem>Scream Queens \u003c/em>in an episode that airs tonight, Nov. 3. She's yet to lasso her formidable ponytail around a feature film, but it can' t be too far around the bend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two: I will jump at any excuse to discuss the 2002 Britney Spears vehicle \u003cem>Crossroads\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given that my esteemed colleague Emmanuel Hapsis is of a similar disposition, we thought we'd take this opportunity to revisit some of the most notable pop star crossover movies from the past few decades. Each can be discussed in terms of pros and cons, acting abilities, and more, as well as mined for retrospective signs about where their stars were headed. Is this \u003cem>necessary\u003c/em>, you ask? We say: \u003cem>Ssshhh.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The plot is semi-autobiographical, following a singer's ascent to fame in The Big City, and various overlapping plot lines featuring business drama and said singer's love life, but to be honest the only thing I really remember from this movie is a scene in which Mariah isn't sure if she wants to sleep with the producer dude, and then he's all \"but wait, let me show you my xylophone,\" and then she \u003cem>does\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0275022/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\" target=\"_blank\">Crossroads\u003c/a> (2002) \u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/vb398BOlv0Q'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/vb398BOlv0Q'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Okay so I've clearly already showed my cards on this one, but Britney's (only) attempt at crossover stardom is objectively notable for a few reasons: She's a terrible actress, to be sure, a fact made more obvious by her co-conspirators (the now probably wishing-this-had-never-happened actual actresses Zoe Saldana and Taryn Manning), but it's tough to tell if Spears' performance is more or less embarrassing than the script itself; together, they're the cinematic equivalent of the nausea one might feel after eating too many mall food court hot dogs-on-sticks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plot points: Britney is a good-girl high school valedictorian (!) who plunks on a bucket hat and takes off on a whirlwind, devil-may-care road trip to California with her childhood best friends. In the process, she realizes she can sing and wear crop tops, learns some things about friendship, and falls in love with the only character in the movie portrayed by a worse actor than her.

Ariana Grande is not here for that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent visit to Ryan Seacrest's show (yes, that is something that exists and no, I can't explain why), Grande put him in his place when he tried to claim that girls are the only ones who change their minds:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://vine.co/v/e3aMvIlreEL/embed/simple\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But her work of educating clueless dudes had just begun.

"content": "\u003cp>Yesterday, \u003ca href=\"http://www.eonline.com/news/708264/adam-levine-and-maroon-5-in-talks-to-headline-super-bowl-50-halftime-show\" target=\"_blank\">several sources reported\u003c/a> that the wildly commercially successful American band/coven of pop-rock vampires Maroon 5 has been in talks to play the 50th Annual Pepsi Nike Verizon Subway Viagra™ Super Bowl Halftime Show. That's the loud music and dancing and flashy-lights part of the big game with the padded men and the odd-shaped leather ball, as my lady brain understands it!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This (not entirely confirmed) choice caught my attention for a few reasons: One, said Super Bowl will be in the Bay Area for the first time in 30 years. This means that Maroon 5, with \u003cem>The Voice\u003c/em> coach/tattooed demon prince of douchebags Adam Levine at the helm, will be spending some time in our fair city. The band members will dine in our restaurants (ostensibly on food, not the blood of the young), and sleep in our hotels with their human supermodel wives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two, Maroon 5 makes me feel f**cking crazy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a handful of exceedingly successful figures or groups in pop culture who fall into this category for me: Artists who have made an unfathomable amount of money (as of March, Levine was worth an estimated $50 million) based on creating a product that seems, as its defining feature, to be almost aggressively boring. Powerfully mediocre. Singularly middle-of-the-road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not, mind you, pop music snobbery. On the contrary: I like a lot of pop music, and I find pop musicians fascinating. I will wax poetic about \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2015/08/17/live-review-taylor-swift-regular-super-normal-girl-like-you-and-me-at-levis-stadium/\" target=\"_blank\">the virtues of Taylor Swift\u003c/a> or Beyonce or Justin Timberlake or, hell, the Backstreet Boys until you walk away from me at a party. (That\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2712154/\" target=\"_blank\"> BSB documentary\u003c/a>, btw, gave me more feelings than I was expecting it to. A discussion, perhaps, for another time.) But this isn't about the cheese factor, nor overproduction, nor cloying melodies, generic songwriting, mathematically-calculated-to-sound-triumphant key changes. In the right context, I can love 'em all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Do you need more proof? For the bulk of summer 2015, I was obsessed with this track, which is the first single off an album by Uncle Ezra Ray, a self-styled \"supergroup\" made up of the Uncle Kracker, the guy from Better Than Ezra, and '90s prince douchebag Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray. \u003cem>Uncle Ezra Ray.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQqL_QowAto\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, this is an unequivocally terrible song. The lyrics sound like some poorly translated foreign-language film's idea of American Spring Break. The chorus is repetitive and the breakdown is just the instruments dropping out while McGrath says the moronic chorus again but slower. All of these men are well past their primes. But this is a song that has \u003cem>owned\u003c/em> how terrible it is. It knows what it's made of. It's hilariously, entertainingly bad. It's certainly not boring. And that, for me, brings it back around to enjoyable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compare and contrast with this, please:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwK7ggA3-bU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an unequivocally bad song that thinks it's a \u003cem>great\u003c/em> song. It's going for a \"reggae\"-influenced vibe, but has appropriated that style in the blandest possible way, slapped a non-melody on it, announced \"here is our new reggae-influenced song, which is a very good song\" -- and the world somehow buys it. We give them positive reinforcement for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I noticed you borrow the most watered-down aspects of different genres of music and use them to make \u003cem>your\u003c/em> music,\" says the world. \"That makes me feel like I'm hearing something different but also I am not challenged or threatened at all by this very good song!\" As far as I can tell, this is a Maroon 5 trademark of sorts -- not just changing genres frequently, but tapping into genres historically dominated by black artists, stuffing them through their magically bland Wonka-like sausage machine, and squeezing out an impressively dull and very white kind of musical tapioca. This song spent nine weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The beauty of being a music fan -- a consumer of any art, really -- is that people have different tastes, and obviously you're allowed to like whatever the hell you want. What I do not understand: Maroon 5 has had five hit studio records, a singles compilation album, and nine gigantic tours over the course of a dozen years. As of August, they've sold 12.9 million total albums in the U.S. Based on all available evidence, the band is very popular with lots of people, many of whom are happy to pay money for Maroon 5's music, and many of whom will probably be very excited to watch them play the Super Bowl Halftime Show. And yet \u003cem>I've never met a single person who likes Maroon 5.\u003c/em> Meanwhile, Levine's doucheyness has become such a fact of the zeitgeist \u003ca href=\"http://jezebel.com/adam-levines-im-not-a-douche-profile-proves-hes-a-major-1596091413\" target=\"_blank\">that we get blog posts like this\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of which brings me to the following plea: I would really like to meet a Maroon 5 fan. I'm basically that kid on the side on the road right now, wondering if anyone else has noticed that the emperor has no clothes. Am I completely insane? Are there clothes there, and everyone else can see them but \u003cem>I can't? \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As previously indicated, I am no stranger to insipid pop music fandom; I just want to hear this specific situation explained. If you are a person who likes Maroon 5, please email me at \u003ca href=\"mailto:esilvers@kqed.org\">esilvers@kqed.org\u003c/a>. I promise I won't be mean to you.

That's the loud music and dancing and flashy-lights part of the big game with the padded men and the odd-shaped leather ball, as my lady brain understands it!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This (not entirely confirmed) choice caught my attention for a few reasons: One, said Super Bowl will be in the Bay Area for the first time in 30 years. This means that Maroon 5, with \u003cem>The Voice\u003c/em> coach/tattooed demon prince of douchebags Adam Levine at the helm, will be spending some time in our fair city. The band members will dine in our restaurants (ostensibly on food, not the blood of the young), and sleep in our hotels with their human supermodel wives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two, Maroon 5 makes me feel f**cking crazy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a handful of exceedingly successful figures or groups in pop culture who fall into this category for me: Artists who have made an unfathomable amount of money (as of March, Levine was worth an estimated $50 million) based on creating a product that seems, as its defining feature, to be almost aggressively boring. Powerfully mediocre. Singularly middle-of-the-road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not, mind you, pop music snobbery. On the contrary: I like a lot of pop music, and I find pop musicians fascinating. I will wax poetic about \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2015/08/17/live-review-taylor-swift-regular-super-normal-girl-like-you-and-me-at-levis-stadium/\" target=\"_blank\">the virtues of Taylor Swift\u003c/a> or Beyonce or Justin Timberlake or, hell, the Backstreet Boys until you walk away from me at a party. (That\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2712154/\" target=\"_blank\"> BSB documentary\u003c/a>, btw, gave me more feelings than I was expecting it to. A discussion, perhaps, for another time.) But this isn't about the cheese factor, nor overproduction, nor cloying melodies, generic songwriting, mathematically-calculated-to-sound-triumphant key changes. In the right context, I can love 'em all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For the bulk of summer 2015, I was obsessed with this track, which is the first single off an album by Uncle Ezra Ray, a self-styled \"supergroup\" made up of the Uncle Kracker, the guy from Better Than Ezra, and '90s prince douchebag Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray. \u003cem>Uncle Ezra Ray.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/RQqL_QowAto'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/RQqL_QowAto'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Now, this is an unequivocally terrible song. The lyrics sound like some poorly translated foreign-language film's idea of American Spring Break. The chorus is repetitive and the breakdown is just the instruments dropping out while McGrath says the moronic chorus again but slower. All of these men are well past their primes. But this is a song that has \u003cem>owned\u003c/em> how terrible it is. It knows what it's made of. It's hilariously, entertainingly bad. It's certainly not boring. And that, for me, brings it back around to enjoyable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compare and contrast with this, please:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/fwK7ggA3-bU'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/fwK7ggA3-bU'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>This is an unequivocally bad song that thinks it's a \u003cem>great\u003c/em> song. It's going for a \"reggae\"-influenced vibe, but has appropriated that style in the blandest possible way, slapped a non-melody on it, announced \"here is our new reggae-influenced song, which is a very good song\" -- and the world somehow buys it. We give them positive reinforcement for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I noticed you borrow the most watered-down aspects of different genres of music and use them to make \u003cem>your\u003c/em> music,\" says the world. \"That makes me feel like I'm hearing something different but also I am not challenged or threatened at all by this very good song!\" As far as I can tell, this is a Maroon 5 trademark of sorts -- not just changing genres frequently, but tapping into genres historically dominated by black artists, stuffing them through their magically bland Wonka-like sausage machine, and squeezing out an impressively dull and very white kind of musical tapioca. This song spent nine weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The beauty of being a music fan -- a consumer of any art, really -- is that people have different tastes, and obviously you're allowed to like whatever the hell you want. What I do not understand: Maroon 5 has had five hit studio records, a singles compilation album, and nine gigantic tours over the course of a dozen years. As of August, they've sold 12.9 million total albums in the U.S. Based on all available evidence, the band is very popular with lots of people, many of whom are happy to pay money for Maroon 5's music, and many of whom will probably be very excited to watch them play the Super Bowl Halftime Show. And yet \u003cem>I've never met a single person who likes Maroon 5.\u003c/em> Meanwhile, Levine's doucheyness has become such a fact of the zeitgeist \u003ca href=\"http://jezebel.com/adam-levines-im-not-a-douche-profile-proves-hes-a-major-1596091413\" target=\"_blank\">that we get blog posts like this\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of which brings me to the following plea: I would really like to meet a Maroon 5 fan. I'm basically that kid on the side on the road right now, wondering if anyone else has noticed that the emperor has no clothes. Am I completely insane? Are there clothes there, and everyone else can see them but \u003cem>I can't? \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As previously indicated, I am no stranger to insipid pop music fandom; I just want to hear this specific situation explained. If you are a person who likes Maroon 5, please email me at \u003ca href=\"mailto:esilvers@kqed.org\">esilvers@kqed.org\u003c/a>. I promise I won't be mean to you. Unless you're Adam Levine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
