No autotune????????
edit: FUCK: 4:47, fucking autotune
WTF, I hate mainstream music so much
edit2: again 5:27-5:38, nice monitor headphones at least (I use Sony MDR-V700DJs as well)
this is why I don't buy CDs
It's funny when T-Pain does it though. He knows its why he's rich.
To paraphrase an insurance company CEO on the most recent episode of House, "I don't care what you say about me, as long as I stay rich"Quote:

also, isn't that randy jackson in the front row?
What the fuck was Wyclef doing, anyhow?
The Jamie Fox intro took too long plus it's being way too slow to load. Therefore I refuse to watch it. I hope I'm not missing out.
i think he was trying to sing. i'm not really sure.Quote:

unless you're interested in a commentary on how bad contemporary singers are compared to, say, the 80's when the original "all-star" version of this song was made, not really.Quote:

I just watched it all the way through. I love how Tony Bennett is in there to stand in stark contrast to every single other person in that room.
Fuck Kanye West. Selfish sonuvabitch would probably only do it if they gave him a whole minutes of being terrible.
Who is the Jamaican-ish guy? He got a lot of play in this and I am curious to hear what kind of music he does.
on the first note he sang of this song, i thought he was a girl too.Quote:

Not that I've listened much to Wyclef Jean.
fuck haiti i am so fucking sick of hearing about it
it's like t-pain doesn't even use autotune. it just comes out of his throat like that.
Because in Haitian Creole, that's a pronunciation of "Haiti". He isn't much of a performer though, although I don't know if that's just this song or him in general. I could have done without him but since he's Haitian and been a front man for the project I suppose he pretty much has to be in the song.Quote:

There are without a doubt sore thumbs but saying the song is just a series of interconnected "cringe-worthy" moments is taking it a little far, even if you really dislike American pop music today. There was more than enough talent in the studio, although at times the focused on the people with the least talent (although apparently I am the last person in the western hemisphere who doesn't think Kanye West is an abomination).
Justin Bieber (the retard in the beginning who looks like Hilary Swank in Boys Don't Cry) is a YouTube spawn, not a Disney Channel spawn.Quote:

Well, he is black, so by virtue of that he's an abomination in your eyes.Quote:

And as for it not being a musical abortion, I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree.
Streisand is not a more talented singer than Michael Jackson
although the line gets blurry when you realize she's probably a walking corpse at this point, but that's still one adjective better than MJ
You know when you say "i dunno... maybe he has tourettes" that says to most people "hey I have no idea what he's doing" which warrants an explanation, so I explained. Wasn't even an ass about it, sorry about your ego though.Quote:

Dear Sponge,
You've always been terrible.
Respectfully Yours,
Mr. E
this post would be relevant if a) I'd done anything uncivil in this thread (I haven't) or b) your opinion meant anything to me (it doesn't).Quote:

Dear Sponge,
Your insults don't make any sense and are not clever. Also, I do what I want.
Dreamily yours,
Mr.E
It would be relevant if you were actually terrible.Quote:

i mean most of those people are amazing singers and nobody really does an awful job in this song
it's just an awful song
Bieber and Kanye do bad jobs, because Bieber and Kanye always do bad jobs, but other than that I agree with you.
LL Cool J rocked the mic.
That's because I love Wyclef as an artist, but that was shameful
