Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude, I was just confused. Turns out I did misread your post and thought that "he" was a "she," so I attempted to make a Daffy Duck joke while asking for clarification. Sorry if I came off as rude or confrontational, that wasn't my intent at all.

Honestly, I have no idea why I'm taking this so seriously. Clearly it's not important. Been a long week I guess?

It can't be. I have dog friends and they're all completely cool with it.

Pop star isn't a job title. It's a completely arbitrary label. It still means someone who makes music. If you can't figure any of those things out, well, I probably could help you but I'd rather go make jokes about Dwyane Wade.

Actually, I think you're missing mine. You can be all pro-shitty live singers if you want. I don't care. I just don't think that expecting someone who is, yes, a professional singer to be able to sing is music snobbery. It's not comparing everything to Blood on the Tracks. It's just having the lowest possible…

I'm here, darling!

So it's snobby to expect pop singers to, you know, actually sing? Low art should mean they sing crappy, catchy lowbrow shit, not that they can't sing at all.

Girl, I've seen plenty of other photos of Dita walking out of the Pilates studio in Keds and yoga pants. So she threw on a coat. Taylor is still a gigantic poser. She doesn't even pretend that she's not posing for the paps when she walks out on the Bowery every day. Again, I do not hate her. I just find her really…

Ok, except that change is sort of what's being discussed. Comparing pop music today to pop music at a point where good singing was essential isn't holding it to high art. People willing to listen to shitty singers doesn't fundamentally change the nature of making music.

In order to make an excuse for singers, you've categorized them into low-art and high-art. I don't make that distinction. Auto-tuners don't get their own category to spare them shame.

The difference between us is that you want music to sound "alright". I'd rather music be moving or excellent. People who like…

Well, I hope you're not a fucking family with the dog. ;D

Holding someone to the standards of "being able to sing" when they're a singer isn't high-art standards.

Mmmmm, no. She was as a KID. But since she has hit puberty... nope. Not so much. I love Britney. But no.

I wish I could star this a thousand times.

"A lot of pop stars, not just Spears, probably need a generous helping of autotune. Plus, with digital help or not, I always thought Spears had a unique voice that she didn't get enough credit for. In conclusion: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

I mean, yeah, I buy that nobody is going to be really devastated by this because nobody is a Britney Spears fan on the assumption that she's an exceptional singer or anything but lately it seems like there's this growing backlash to stuff like this that views people thinking that a professional singer should be good…

I don't hate people I don't know. Taylor Swift will never be as fabulous as Dita. Face facts.

i don't know where else to put this but we're not going to address Dodai not getting the editor in chief job eh Jez???? http://madamenoire.com/445947/black-d… and you wonder why black woman give this site the side eye....smh

Taylor Swift will never reach Dita Von Teese levels of anything, because when Dita comes/goes from the gym, she wears gym clothes, like a normal fucking person and not a giant poser.

Wow, Taylor has really done an amazing job of transforming her public image. Maybe Im just a cynic when it comes to showbiz but I always thought all her friendships and cat pictures came across super artificial and contrived. She stopped dating endless men and focused on forging public "friendships" with celebrities…
