'Chris Brown Can Beat Me' Tweets Cause Controversy After 2012 Grammy Awards
The authors of those tweets should be the topic of this article, not Chris Brown fans.
What he did as a person was tragic. What he produced as an R&B artist was commendable last night. F.A.M.E. is a great, great album. Let’s not confuse the two, or the people who buy his music.
Moronic tween girls who have no class or dignity and live in their childhood bedrooms, tweeting on their bedazzled Blackberrys their parents bought them for getting a C- in gym class while wearing cut-off sweat pants and cropped tank tops who post stupid, ignorant comments about the rapture of abuse do not support Chris Brown, they support the posting of stupid things on Twitter.
The same clowns who tweeted “Well, I guess crack is whack!” when Whitney Houston died are no different.
My favorite Whitney Houston music video.
Of course you want your cake and eat it too
You’re a guy
And of course I don’t understand
But I would
If I thought like a manIn love
You gotta act like a woman
And think like a man
I miss you, like, every day
Wanna be with you
But you’re away
Said I miss you
Missing you insane
But if I got with you
Could it feel the same?
— Beyoncé, “I Miss You” (4)
In case you didn’t already know, I’m a total music junkie. I may be the whitest girl on planet (they don’t call me Pasty for nothing), but I listen to an obscene amount of R&B.
I was watching this new TV spot for NBC’s “The Voice” (where the whole premise of the show is the name of the show and the judges do not get to see the performer, only hear them), and as I was deciding whether or not I thought Adam Levine was still attractive (Answer: yes), I realized I already knew THE VOICE.
The guy singing in this clip is a dude who HAD A RECORD DEAL WITH CAPITOL RECORDS. (I’m doing this from memory, by the way.) Recorded under the name Javier; debut album was self-titled. Had a minor hit circa 2003 with the track “Crazy.” SICK VOICE.
BUT…isn’t the whole point of this show to find great, undiscovered talented? Not people who had major record label deals who probably got dropped because they didn’t meet some BS bottom line?
If this is not him, someone from NBC can come find me and punch me in the face. This is an official dare.
In the words of Mariah Carey to Whitney Houston at the 1998 Video Music Awards, TRY IT ON ME.
The [Why Am I Subjecting Myself to This, Again?] Factor
Just perused the FAQ for “The X Factor’s” auditioning rules. Given the number of companies and agencies associated with this show in some way or another, I have no idea how I’m actually allowed to (hypothetically) audition.
The more interesting sections, drafted by the most thorough lawyer of all time, include (but are not limited to)…:
- [One may not bring] swords, forged or carved, from any of the middle or modern ages, to the audition. [However, they did not say swords from the future, so my lightsaber is IN, fools!]
- The Producer is the sole owner of [my life] forever and throughout the universe, to use [for everything and anything, specifically] merchandising (including slot machines) [for the wonder of it all?] in any manner whatsoever. Producer shall also have the unrestricted right to edit the content of the Program in any manner or form [including hilarious memes on Tumblr].
- I may reveal, and other parties may reveal, information about me that is of a personal, private, embarrassing or unfavorable nature, which information may be factual and/or fictional [i.e. Justin Timberlake dumped Jessica Biel for me?]. I further understand that my appearance, depiction and/or portrayal in the Program may be disparaging, defamatory, embarrassing or of an otherwise unfavorable nature which may expose me to public ridicule, humiliation or condemnation. [a.k.a. Don’t quit your day job, because you’ll need your mental health benefits to get you through this Rebecca Black-esque time in your life.]
I miss Simon Cowell and would die at the chase to bow down at L.A. Reid’s feet, but do I even want to do this, even for shits and giggles?
Too many Urkels on your team, that’s why your wins low.
