Katharine McPhee, Somewhere Over The Rainbow, JCPenney Jam

i would like to hear her singing "have yourself a merry little christmas" by now judy garland now. i bet she would sing it perfectly.

Well,then SHOOT ME! I'm a racist. There is nothing wrong with being a racist, as long as you don't act on those racist tendencies. IE it is WRONG to keep a black family from moving into a neighborhood; it is NOT WRONG to sell your house if a black family moves next door to you. If that makes me a racist, too emmereffin' bad! At least I live in a safe all white neighborhood, probably full of racists, and that's the way I like it!

First of all, your mother's an idiot. Second, you've never heard of a mongoloid idiot? And,no,I don't associate with leftists or liberals--they are anti-American and their ideas are to wacko. And as far as semantics go, I am not an English professor nor a typist. You'll probably vote for Osama, but don't be too disappointed when McCain wins. The country thankfully doesn't agree with Osama's commie tendencies,and sometimes I may be out of context because I only have 500 words.

No, mongoloid is used to describe peoples of East Asian origins lol. Asian is more appropriate yes, but the term negroid definitely does not apply to Asian people.

Oh so now he has to be conservative too? You're far too narrow-minded to reason with. So you wouldn't associate with an intellectual like Chomsky? Given his leftist ideology, his education and intellect must pale in comparison to yours!

You've already used several terms incorrectly or out of context. You're an idiot. Bye now.

I belive mongoloid is used to describe a type of birth defect,I think Asian is more appropriate today. And yes, I would associate with a negro who was educated, but in that case I'm sure he would not be into rap,ebonics, or on the "African" kick. He would probably like Jazz, or R&B, maybe classical, and would definitely be a conservative; he would not have that "entitlement" mentality. Probably like Roy Innis, Thomas Sowell, or Colin Powell--and defeinitely no "ghetto" attitude.

Excuse me, "educated." I'd rather not have somebody else point out a typo of mine when I myself just pointed out a blatant misspelling.

Also, culture does not imply beauty or talent. The term is broad and from an anthropological standpoint(where the term originated), has been used to describe a number of peoples I'm sure you wouldn't find beautiful or talented. Anyway, have a nice day.

Actually, I'm pretty sure the term mongoloid is used to describe Asians. By the way, you misspelled Caucasian. In any case, being a separatist is fine but there are exceptions to every category. Are you suggesting you'd rather not associate with a cultured, educate negro well-versed in the arts and literature? If so, you're a racist.

Rap is not a culture. The word "culture" implies talent and beauty--Rap has neither-it is pure GAHBAGE (yes I spelled it right) and has ruined music probably for good. I'm only glad that the real masters aren't alive today, 'cause they would be heartbroken. Rap should die out with disco,metal,and other clown acts before all real music is gone. Maybe I'm narrowminded, but that's what every person intelligent enough to be opinionated is called!

There is no art in rap--it is pure garbage-no beauty, no asthetics, nothing but pissed off negros spewing unintelligable "lyrics". I am not a racist, I consider myself a "separatist" I prefer to associate with my own kind and culture; I do not care for "Negroid" culture, yet I would defend a Negro's right to the death to be able to spew his "art" That's what America is all about. PS Negroid is a scientific term, used to describe non-caucasion & oriental people, it is not a "racist" term.

Exactly my point--Mainstream America has taste up their ass, otherwise rap wouldn't have made it to first base. And I don't give a motherfuck what you OR the rest of the world thinks of us. I've been all over the world, and most of it S**ks compared to here--they are jealous. And I use the word colored because evry few years they wanna be called something else; now they're on the African kick again, I can't keep track. Don't like my comments? Stick 'em in your polyp factory!

I'm fairly certain I'm not confusing anything. I made the assertion that some rappers do incorporate real world issues into their lyrics. That's fine and dandy, but it still doesn't qualify rap as music, at least not of top tier caliber and quality. I fully concede that quality rap could be viewed as a form of poetry, which would make it somewhat of an art, but not music.

Speaking in rhythm over simplistic computerized beats is not music, plain and simple.

What are you talking about? Britney Spears is famous because that's what mainstream teens want to listen to and gyrate to on the dance floor worldwide. How the hell is that a "proven fact?" Where is this source of yours? In the land of Up Your Ass? Stop excusing yourself from being a complete fucktard. People like you makes the rest of the world stereotype Americans as snobby, ignorant, racist, bigots. Stop giving us a bad name and move on racist. Who the hell uses the word "coloreds?"

I think you're confusing something. Britney Spears songs for example is not "real music" but crappy music for teens to get going. The rap you're discribing is just that. Crappy rap to get the party going. But there is real rap where they talk about world issues, current events, family, love, and whatever else real musicians talk about and to express through the art of music and beats. The art is not so much the music, but the way the rapper speaks through the beats.

what a lady!

I used to wear a T-shirt that said "Rap is short for crap", and if it hadn't fallen apart from too many washings, I'd be wearing it right now. And I didn't give a rats ass where I wore it, or who was offended by it, and trust me, no one would say S**t to me about it!! TRUST ME!
