Agreed. I think it's because people have absorbed the claim of police officers on procedurals that asking for a lawyer is an indication of guilt, which is unfortunate, because as you say there are so many situations in which they can help both the guilty and the innocent.

AND THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T TAILGATE! Even if it turns out that Bruce was just the final pawn in a larger chain reaction of crashing cars, don't effing tailgate!

The internetzz says this condition is not real/psychosomatic, and now I'm going to ask my dad about it. I need to know.

Here's the thing. I don't think that being multi-talented like Beck AUTOMATICALLLY makes him the better artist here, but what it does do is make me want to smack Kanye for all but calling him a hack. Like, I could almost forgive Kanye if he'd just come right out and said that he didn't really dig what Beck did with…

I feel like it is not a case of same old dopes, but it is easy to say it looks that way

i would imagine that often, when artists do something like this, it's meant to be an homage, but still comes from a selfish, narcissistic place that i honestly can't even blame on them, since their entire world involves people pandering and bending over backwards.

Well that just makes it worse, imo. She's seen the movie, she knows it's ledisi's song. She's Beyonce. Here she had an opportunity to help out a fellow black female singer. She could have gone to the grammy's and said hey that's ledisi's song how about she sing it before common an John, and the grammys would have been…

Yeah, I get the purpose behind riders. I'm not saying the riders shouldn't have been followed. I'm just saying, it was silly of the paper to be shitty and condescending about it and silly of the agency to get so hurt over it they ban everyone from the school. Seems like a classier response would be more like the one…

Right, and aren't John Legend and Common big enough stars in their own right to say, "Hey, thanks Bey, we're so glad you want to be involved, but this is our girl Ledisi's moment to shine." In the end, Yonce did a respectable job, but I can only imagine the fireworks a Ledisi performance would have left us with. And…

I say you CAN turn down Beyoncé. It was certainly a lovely rendition, but in the context - as an introduction to "Glory" - it wasn't her song to sing.

Tylenol is not ibuprofen. It is paracetamol aka acetaminophen. It's good to know the actual name of the active ingredient if you're travelling, for example.

Beck should have sung it.

Well, that's an absurd way to measure "artistic merit."

We all win, except the lesser known artist who could have seen a sales bump from performing.

I'm assuming this isn't the only category Beyonce "lost" (granted, Album of the Year is big one).She's won countless other awards and accolades; I think she'll live if she doesn't win this year. It's kinda creepy and patronizing how he feels the need to continually butt in and "defend" her.

My opinion on this comes purely from my place as a consumer of entertainment who loves Beyonce: I was wanting a Beyonce performance, like dancing and singing one of her hits, because that is where she truly shines IMO. She sounded good and the performance was moving, but if that's all she was going to do, I would have…

I guarantee there's a sex shop fairly close to you and you just don't know about it.

I wonder, if Kanye and Beyonce were ever both nominated for an award, and Kanye won, would he give HIS award over to Beyonce because .... truth in artistry?

I agree. Trash the Grammy's all you want, but don't act like individual artists need to give up their awards. They're normal, competitive people - of course they want to win.

Here's the thing, PenelopeParadis, I don't care if you like the same music I like.
