Loud, Annoying, Obnoxious!
1 January 2007
Loud, annoying, obnoxious; not words of praise. Following the current trend that if you have no talent at least be loud, the volume could wake the dead (while also boring them into a trance.) Is this the SUPREMES, or not? Don't play it both ways, Jack! The Supremes were never like this; neither was Motown. The Supremes and much of Motown was working-class excellence, music that would last 50 years and never go stale.

Beyonce? She thinks she's hot stuff, but can't fill the shadow of Diana Ross in either looks or talent. Beyonce is nothing to look at and her music will be forgotten by 2008. Diana Ross was one of the most beautiful Black girls/women ever in the public eye; and this was exceeded only by her talent as a singer.

Jamie Fox and Danny Glover? They wore out their welcome long ago.

Young people might be impressed with this mess. After all, they get off on Rap. Older people remember the great days of Black music. Not Duke Ellington or Pearl Bailey (although they were true stars); no, the great Black music came to light in the 1950's. The era of the Supremes, the Ronettes, the Platters, Fats Domino --- the GREATS!
