Worst Tribute Pairing: Jennifer Lopez vs. Motown Let’s say up front that Jennifer Lopez is a genuinely versatile talent — a spectacular dancer, an underrated actress, a person who sings. There are numerous ways she could have enlivened any number of parts of the Grammys this year, or any other year. Fronting a Motown tribute, however — yeah, how about no? Lopez did not appear to be singing live at any point during her six-minute-plus performance, to the chagrin of many online, and perhaps also to any of the dozens of R&B singers who could have handled these songs with verve and power. While the dance routines were strong, turning the music of Motown — which featured some of the most vital, urgent vocals in pop music history — into a Busby Berkeley routine was a swing and a miss. NYTimes ___________________________________________________ I clocked that person who sings shade! Most of the reviews I saw said the same thing. Question is how didn't the Grammies see this coming, and even on JLO side her team shoulda said no. I believe anyone can be inspired by any genre. She said before the show her mother used to have them listen to Motown etc. That's cute but girl you KNOW you cant SANG like these songs deserve. I think the Grammies were desperate for talent to show up and didn't want an old school legend or younger actual R&B star who isn't A list. They had so many top tier talent not showing up or wanting to perform this year. I was surprised Drake showed, and even then he dissed them and had his mic cut.

That is called a LIE. You are just hop, skipping and jumping over that. My logic, as you put it, is reality. Just because "you are not focusing on the trial" doesn't mean it did not happen. Why do you keep talking about perjury? No one is saying they should be prosecuted for anything. We are talking about credibility and that's all. All we know of the allegations is that there are 2 different accounts that the same people had of events. One of them is a lie. I was not there, I am not saying he never molested these kids. If he did he deserves to be rotting in hell obviously. And whoever lied to let him go free when they could have put him in jail easily...

How is it weird? Did you attend a Kellyanne Conway Ted talk on alternative facts? A lie is a lie. If you said one story then, and another today you lied somewhere period. I am definitely no MJ stan, and he was weird as absolute fuck. I would say the same about any case anywhere. We all could be called to be on a jury as citizens. If someone came before me telling 2 different stories I would have a very had time deciding against the one that always said they didn't do it without corroborating evidence. Wheres the bank statements or the check from the payoff? Wheres the witnesses who saw someone send thugs in Thriller jackets to come tell you to lie or Beat it? The fact that MJ was weird as fuck for decades, elusive, had so many tabloid stories and rumors swirling and you STILL couldn't get a conviction or find witnesses that had a shred of credibility to get him sent to jail? I mean seriously when he went to court he was at the height of weirdness any halfway credible witness without an obvious agenda could have put him away. The Sheriff was "begging" people to come forward with credible evidence. They wanted him to be guilty anyone with a shred of credibility could have put him away. Santa Barbara Sheriff Jim Anderson said the child molestation investigation was ongoing. He encouraged anyone who knew of "any other victims in the community" to come forward with information. Washington Post

Has nothing to do with any statute of limitation. He lied then or is lying now. Credibility is a serious issue, there is a reason people were asking if they got paid. Because of the credibility gaps and changing stories. Sure he can claim cohersion when there is a dead man as the other party. But the dead man is the one that was cleared in court. And if you believe them now what money was worth lying and letting a molestor go free? Admitted liars vs a dead man. It is what it is

That makes absolutely no sense. Lies in court of course matter. It goes directly to credibility. For whatever reason they lied even if you give them the benefit of the doubt and say they were scared, or paid off. That's their credibility shot by their own hand. Anything else is pure speculation with the accused dead and cant re defend himself. So all we have is him being cleared in court by these "witnesses".

I mean the audacity

Happy bday!

Cannot wait! Meanwhile I watched the first 3 episodes of the YouTube original series Origin. That shit was good. Passengers wake up on a ship and they have to figure out why they are not at the space colony like they are supposed to be. And where everyone went. Part horror, part mystery and each episode focuses on one of the passengers backstory and why they ended up there. Been very good so far imo, even though some of the horror story no nos will have you screaming at the screen for bitches to just run

A Star is Born - B+ Bradley Cooper was amazing a real transformation into his character. You can see the effort he put into every bit of it. I found Gaga to be a little meh though. I found her acting a little wooden Velvet Buzzsaw - B Legit only watched cause Gyllenhal is naked in it. It needed to be scarier and darker. They didn't go far enough with it imo

Beautiful Boy B Mostly about a loving father trying his hardest to "save" his drug addict son. Acting is good and it is very relevant now for the opiod crisis. Whats strange and interesting to me is the racial aspects that WERE not discussed here. I mean this kid was as drugged out as any black kid you have seen on any movie, story ever right. But, there was no talk of incarceration. He had chance after chance after chance to redeem himself and expensive rehabs etc. What if all those minorities in jail right now for drug changes had the same opportunities he had? Rather than being given up on as trash or locked away out of sight out of mind?

I will definitely watch with an open mind. But, the difference in MJ accusations and some of these others is he actually had his day in court. And was acquitted. Every time the accusations fell apart under scrutiny. If you listen to the testimony and read the motivations I mean I couldn't convict either. Everyone can agree he was weird as fuck. I mean mutilated himself with plastic surgery, reclusive to the point of weirdness. Grown man with lots of attachments to children who is wealthy but not very smart with his money opens himself up to being taken advantage of. And a lot of these people that came out actually stood up for him at various points. Only to come back later and change their stories. He is dead now, it is easy to come crying on tv and say whatever you want as long as there is no rebuttal no other witness. I wasn't in the rooms I cant say he's some misunderstood angel. All I can say is actually listening to these claims and reading and hearing reporting on actual testimony I wouldn't convict as a juror either. And when you can say someone as "weird" as Michael was, and famous and where we had ALL heard the rumors and tabloids etc and STILL they believed him over accusers. I think that has weight

I watched Bodyguard over the holidays I still need to finish the last episode. I only watched it to see Rob Stark's cakes And to continue my Rob Stark theme I watched Season 1 and 2 of Medici: Masters of Venice. I really like these small series with 6 episodes that don't drag out the story lines. It keeps them tight and on target. Both decent shows nothing groundbreaking

Speaking of flop tours….this B2k reunion tour with Chingy and Mario.... I mean really who got coins to see that mess?

I like Zayn. I think he has proven to be the most talented individually from one Direction. His major issue is promotion other than videos. Does he even tour solo? I thought I read he has a sort of stage fright since leaving One Direction. Performing is the biggest part of music these days. You gotta get out there and hustle and show your face to make the real money these days.

Aquaman B+ Black Manta was cool. And I enjoyed Ocean Master

Venom in 4k B If you ignore the derivative silliness, ignore the non connectedness to Spiderman. Ignore the cheesy dialogue. Watch for free and grade on a curve its a B

Gambit and Rogue get ready for their housewarming as a couple in Gambits fashionable condo. Gambit's adoptive dad from the Thieves guild drops by but not to hang to warn Gambit, the Thieves is coming The thieves are pissed Remy married Rogue since he's supposed to still be the King of thieves they aren't having her be "Queen". Rogue is tired of their shit and has mini quiches baking so she takes off her inhibiter collar and shows them that she can knock all of them out without touching them. Gambit has to dive off the roof so he doesn't get hit with her new power. Then the Exes show up. Gambits ex wife BellaDonna queen of the Assassins guild tells Gambit he better watch his back. She wont take contracts on his life but there are some on Rogue. And then Rogue apparently secretly invited her old ass jump off magneto but was too shamed to tell anyone so they met outside while people ate Gambit's apparently fabulous world renowned gumbo. This bitch said shes sorry she didn't invite him to the wedding and confided that the inhibitor color be giving her migraines. I can't with this bitch you got yo man and go confide in this evil ass again? Magneto told her go tell Gambit what's up he wont leave her... whatever

The original comments sucked and were very homophobic. And he could have used the platform to further show how he has grown as a person since then. Made a big public apology, do something useful with the platform. You are about to host a room full of gays and their hairstylists, makeup artists, wig technicians. It is up to him to prove he's on the right side of history now despite the awful things he said previously. That's assuming he has evolved his positions and truly understands he was wrong. If he hasn't and still believes that shit then fuck him

I'm waiting for Hillary to pass Michelle some hand sanitizer at this funeral.

Solo I mean I guess. It's a B
