You make a valid argument. Thank you for being kind about it.

I want better for her. I understand her wanting to work things out with her man, and she was forthcoming in an interview saying she was no angel, either. I don’t know if that means she cheated on him, but I do believe he proposed to her in the midst of her blowup, maybe to try to lock her down cause she’s hot, while…

An opinion is a viewpoint or judgment formed about something that’s not necessarily based on fact or knowledge. It’s an assumption. Conversely, a fact is indisputable and is supported by evidence.

Nope, no assumptions here, mate, at least from me. I’m a U.S. citizen and I speak for no one but me. Our opinions are our own to defend. And being American is not distinctive to the U.S., as there’s North America, Central America, and South America—we’re all “Americans.”  

No one claimed that Whitney was the biggest celebrity in the world, but she was one of the biggest, and that’s fact. Whitney got plenty of global press. Lorde’s first EP came out the same year that Whitney died. As a pop performer, there’s no way she didn’t hear of Whitney’s death when Whitney was a pop and R&B legend.

I hear you, but New Zealand is a developed nation with a strong economy and it has media access. She can claim to not have meant any ill will, but what I cannot believe is that the bathtub photo and the lyric were put together purely by accident. I mean, why that song lyric that has nothing to do with relaxing in a…

Um, no. Is there seriously no television, radio, newspapers, or Internet capability in NZ? It’s not a lean nation with hardly any connection to the rest of the world, so I have trouble believing that. Just saying.

It’s called an opinion. I’m allowed to give mine on a public discussion board. You don’t agree? Okay, no worries, mate.

Respectfully, I disagree with your rationale. Whitney was a world renowned and globally celebrated entertainer. Lorde was around 16 when Whitney died, and her death and funeral service were widely reported all over the world. Lorde had to have been living without any media access to not have known. Still, if by chance…

Yes, in some circles. I believe that the investigation into his death made the circumstances even more suspect.

Lemme see here. Why would she just randomly put those two together? Who in the music business doesn’t know the circumstances of Whitney’s passing? That’s like not knowing how Kurt Cobain or Michael or Prince died. That was done on purpose. And she went by the official playbook of the meaningless, dumb ass apology to…

I like Solange because with her, what comes up usually comes out. That’s not to say that she doesn’t have a filter or doesn’t know when to use it, but I don’t think she’d buck like that if it weren’t about something truly hurtful done to her or her family. They are extremely tight-knit and do not suffer fools trying…

I’ve never been a fan of purposely laying down baby hair, but it does look cute on some women. Aside, it’s a blessing to be able to make a successful living doing what you love.

That was, just, brilliantly vicious. I cringed and squinted my eyes it was so good.

And you wrote a long ass article in which you used the n-word and its variations with abandon. No, you didn’t say it, but you for damn sure wrote the hell out of it.

I visited Pittsburgh many years ago and learned how to pronounce it, as well as the correct pronunciations of “Carnegie” and “Steelers.” Lol.

I believe you’re being sarcastic because that movie was pure ass. Surely, you have better taste in romcoms than that.

Colonel. Worcestershire. Schuylkill.

I was having a phone conversation with a friend of mine, and she pronounced hypocrisy as “hippo-crissy”. I didn’t correct her. I regret it.
