Whatcha Say: The Good, The Bad & The Pink In This Week’s Reader Comments
Over the past week Kanye West took on Today Show host Matt Lauer, Ke$ha unveiled another track from her upcoming mini album, Pink’s rendition of “Whataya Want From Me” surfaced and rumors began flying that Lady Gaga will appear in the next Muppet movie. And just how did our readers react to this blizzard of pop activity? Read on!
:: Lisa sang out on Robyn Keeps Dancing On Her Own On Jimmy Fallon: “I hope that things can pick up, but I almost think this song is too good for Top 40 radio, which is mostly a wasteland for disposable music. It’s sad that such a terrible format is the primary promotional tool for mainstream music and without it pop artists have a tough time selling anything.”
:: Chris added the following: “Yeah i think there’s a certain amount of emotion manipulation in these interviews, but the same goes for everyone. Here’s the deal, Bush was not put on the spot in his interview, it was not live, he had the time to articulate and form reasonable responses. The same courtesy should have been given to West.”
:: kms agreed: “Although I am also a fan of P!nk, I think Adam’s vocals and musical nuances are more powerful and superior. Even she admitted during her performance of this song in Germany that she gave it to a guy who can sing it better.”
:: Jimmy Cotreau chimed in with the following: “I feel like P!nk robbed herself of a great hit. I think Adam did it better because he sang it first.. Idk its just one of those too close to call sides.”
:: And that brings us to the COMMENT OF THE WEEK — The zinger of the past seven days was another one courtesy of Lisa, on Lady Gaga May Appear In The Next Muppet Movie: “Maybe Kermit will wind up wearing a coat and hat made of Lady Gagas.”
