sorry about slammin nora and m + m let me backpeddle a bit i admit i dont own nora's cd i based my opinion on hearing a few of her songs on the radio (how could you not) and i thought-ok voice, but b l a n d and when i found out she hadn't written her "hit" song i dismissed her
so i admit i may have been wrong there i will give the cd a listen it just infuriates me that the grammy's always award the most commercial artists (the flavor of that year if you will) and boy did i get a lot of cranky emails about em-- so i'll say this about him he's cute (i'm gay) he's got an interesting voice and he's charismatic also i guess i can't get over his taunting moby (an artist i truly respect) in a silly sophmoric way and his homophobic remarks were never adequately explained away for me yes, yes, i know they said that was a "character" speaking those horrible things but try explainig that to a confused/angry adolescent who doesn't like the wimpy guy in gym class. and eminem never apologized... never. just went on and on about his rights (yes i bought his first cd but not his second) it sickened me and to give him a grammy--- i just give up by the way the only moving part about those stupid grammies was the tribute to joe strummer (thank God for elvis costello & the foo fighters) i was crying and i still have a lump in my throat and they sure as hell never gave the clash a grammy xxx walt The most personalized portal on the Web!
