Don't have anything against Swift, but am not hugely pro either. And while I can't defend Kanye's rudeness, could everyone please(Not here, but in entertainment "media") stop acting like he ripped her blouse open and tackled her to the floor or something?
Right? Almost seems like something
::gasp::
RACIAL in peoples' extreme reaction.
You know, Justin DID rip off Janet's shirt (not that she wasn't in on it of course) and
Janet
is the only one who got eternal shit as if somehow
he
wasn't involved in any way...
(Did I do it? Did I "Play the Race Card" or is that only when Black people point out glaring fucking double standards?)
But, but, Janet was wearing that nipple jewelry which is just...ohhh...scandelous.
Just going back to the Janet/Justin thing again. I was flying back from New York the day of the Super Bowl. We were flying JetBlue so my friend and I were watching the Super Bowl coverage which cut off, for take off, right after their performance started. When reception returned the sportscasters were teasing about updates on the big scandal and we had no idea what had happened. When we did find out, we were kinda diappointed.
I'm finally watching the last 30 Rock, and am enjoying that they are in Boston! Shout-out to actual local news anchors!
Yeah, not to say he wasn't completely off-target and a total moment=ruiner, but she's Taylor Swift...girls like that always get another moment. Although Kanye is lucky Taylor's mother isn't like mine...dress or no dress she'd probably get pretty Van Buren about that.
One rule I wish they'd enact is some sort of ban on pubescent songstresses talking about "writing from their own experiences," when those experiences basically include study hall and the Grammy awards. Because it just makes me want to smack them even if I like them(Taylor, Avril Lavigne)

So much so that it was even more important than it basically covering all but a nipple's worth of the offending aereola region.

Imma gonna have to tag you on that, Erika.
And, to be fair, the smacker in the video is female.
True. There's arguably some kind of subversion going on, but then woman-on-woman violence is no joke either. Never stopped them from playing it every week at my local lesbian bar.
Smack My Bitch Up has one of the most undeniable beats/hooks EVER. Proof being that I hate hate hate overly repetitive songs (Usher and JT, I'm looking at y'all) but it doesn't even ping me in that song.
Am I the only one disturbed by this thing's resemblance to Catherine Tate?
Am I bovvered? Yes.
Re: Janet Jackson, back when amyth and I were all up in the acafan shit, I was going to write a paper called "I'ma have you naked by the end of this song: Janet Jackson, a victim blamed."
I have no doubt that Kanye's race, age and music genre comparative to Taylor Swift's all factor into the hullaballoo.
