This no-talent woman like Gaga will sink to any despicable level to gain attention and she can't sing enough to to wipe the dust off Whitney Houston's booths. This is one forgettable bitch.

I know. What was I thinking? Of course she’s a classless, absolutely disgusting young woman. Hold it...do you mean Adele or Sarah Palin who chose to use the abbreviation (that all kids know) ‘WTF’ yesterday at CPAC. What the f*ck!
Can you show me where I said anything about your kids? Reading lessons. Quick.
I’m not justifying Sarah’s WTF but at least (a) she uses it very rarely and (b) always in reference to Obama and not as part of ordinary conversation. Just to let you know Sarah has not gone unscathed for her euphemism both in conservative and MSM media.
Like Mark Steyn says, if you’re going to be provocative, best to do it to people who won’t get provoked.
Well, this thread was a perfectly good waste of ten minutes of my precious life.
Hey thread hijackers. Next time, take it to freepmail, would you?
Sarah Palin was using WTF as the abbreviation for Obama’s State of the Union Speech: “Winning The Future” and of course no doubt, the double entendre in the acronym was not lost

The previous posts are what really scare me about our wonderful
country, what our culture has become is VERY FRIGHTENING. I used
to believe that a very small part of our population were actually classless, rude, non caring however this is not the case any longer.
For those of you on this site raising your kids outside of this culture and
watching who they associate with CONGRATULATIONS, hopefully all
will not be lost in our country!!!!
Now he is trying to say WTF as a negative with Palin when she meant Win the Future. Man I don’t know what his deal is but he seems like he might be causing problems. No adult human being is going to say using curse words when children (under 18) are watching the Grammy’s or any other forum. The way people are going nuts lately, maybe 2012 might be the end after all. Go Santorum and save our fragile culture from people like bramps. I will pray for him too.
You are not hearing me. The culture is gotten into the toilet only because we allow these things to go on. It’s the broken window syndrome. See my prior post where Sarah was playing on Obama’s State of the Union Address: “Winning the Future” and WTF was just a clever entendre and no more. Not part of a regular vocabulary.
Wow...just wow...you call someone you don’t know ‘absolutlely disgusting’ based on one sentence you hear. And you are going to pray for me? Take the plank out of your eye and then come talk to me.
I haven't watched the Grammys in decades... tuned in for just a short while only see what they might do as a tribute for Whitney Houston. For the most part I saw a bunch of freaks in the audience - no thanks.
RIP Whitney Houston...
who cares what a never-been does to get publicity?
She got awards for doing what most of the other pop "stars" should do....sing.
Indeed!
When I was walking the dog this morning, I had an interesting thought about how Whitney’s death symbolizes a parallel in the story of Black music and culture in America.
Whitney was raised in church, and like other legendary R & B divas, learned her vocal technique and stylings from the Gospel Tradition. This served her beautifully in her early career, because, like Jazz and Blues, it is an authentic expression of the Black Contribution to American Culture.
The Hip-Hop/Rap/Gangsta influence which is pushed by the left-wing media, has permeated all aspects of our culture and entertainment. It is the background music for movies, news programs, TV shows, video games, documentaries and just about everything else. It has changed the definition of “R&B” so that the term no longer means “Rhythm and Blues”. It has trampled on all other forms of Black American Musical Expression and reduced such genres as “Soul”, “Motown”, “Jazz”, “Blues”, and even “Gospel” music as mere historical footnotes. Not only that, it has infiltrated our culture and coarsened it to the point where misogyny, vulgarity, violence, drug abuse, and racism are acceptable norms in the context of “entertainment”.
While Whitney did not express this “infiltration” in her music (like Mariah Carey did), she MARRIED into it. She embraced the Hip-Hop “culture” wholeheartedly by becoming addicted to crack cocaine, which destroyed her God-Given Gift.
I am a voice teacher, and I often am subjected to parents who want their girls to be “Stars”. They want me to train their little girls to sing in the current pop style, with all the vocal-fry, sexual sounds, nasal affectations, and growls and moans. I refuse. I lose customers. So what. I would rather starve than perpetuate that garbage.
REAL music will always reach to the heart, no matter what the media attempts to flood us with. Kids seek out their parents old vinyl records, PBS hosts specials on Aretha, Smokey, Sam Cooke, and Motown just to raise funds, and the “Classic Rock” FM Radio Stations are flourishing.
My Guitar students beg me to teach them Beatles, Rolling Stones, and led Zeppelin. They have no interest in current rock hits.
REAL music WILL win in the end. It HAS to!
Adele is the anti-Gaga.
