Gurl, dont follow trends like Cowdonna making tacky music to stay relevant…. protect your legacy and stay exclusive.
Ah, those golden days when Janet, Whitney, Mariah, Madonna, Celine, Cindy Lauper, Tracy Chapman, Belinda Carlisle, Tina Turner, Jody Watley, Sade, Gloria Estefan, Debbie Gibson, and Alanis Morissette ruled the airwaves it was like a musical renaissance where every note felt like a masterpiece, and every chorus was a hug for the soul. Yo, nowadays it’s just straight noise ’cause rodens like Nicki, Cardi, P Diddy, and Beyoncé be out here cheapenin’ and waterin’ down the art, all caught up in that Moloch and Baal worship vibe..
Amen. Don’t forget Toni, Sheryl Crow, Shania, Faith Hill, and Mary!
Congratulations to Ms. Jackson and Mr. Clinton on their achievement. Hopefully, this is a path back to Grammy performance for Ms. Jackson…
