The only thing I worship is god I don't bow down to humans or idols thank you very much. I like to listen to other types of music and I don't spend my time hearing Christina Aguilera's 'Stripped' album on repeat. Her performance this time around was measured and like I said it struck a cord with me emotionally.

Eso apesta a traductor a kilómetros). Además, por muchos otros idiomas que hables no es excusa para las auténticas burradas que has escrito en inglés, y más aun si aseguras que "pronto lo dominarás completamente". Puedes "atreverme" (la palabra correcta sería "retar", por cierto) a traducir lo que quieras del inglés al español y verás cómo ni de lejos queda tan mecánico y mal elaborado, porque al contrario que tu traductor on-line, yo sí que podré traducir expresiones no literales. Por mucho que ahora te escudes en que somos diferentes tipos de "latinos" (que, por cierto, siendo tú de Filipinas y yo de España siento informarte que ninguno de los dos es latino) hay cosas que saltan a la vista que no las ha escrito un hispanohablante, sea del país que sea.<br /><br /><br />¿Te atreves a llamarme grosero? ¿Tú, la misma que pocas líneas más abajo me manda a sentar mi culo gordo? En ningún momento he sido irrespetuoso contigo, cosa que no se puede decir de ti.<br /><br /><br />Me gustaría que me dijeras en qué momento he dicho yo que no "tome" (nuevamente el traductor te la ha jugado, la palabra es "soportar" o "aguantar") a los fans de Christina Aguilera. Siento curiosidad más que nada porque yo soy uno de esos fans; tengo el móvil lleno de canciones suyas y, como he recalcado muchas veces en este blog, es la artista con la que me he sentido más emocionalmente conectado después de Simple Plan. Opie también ha recalcado varias veces que, aunque no se considera un fan, encuentra que Christina tiene algo en su voz que la conmueve.<br /><br /><br />Te agradecería que no te molestaras en responder a este comentario en español, está claro que tu dominio de dicho idioma es (si cabe) aun más pobre que el del inglés. Tranquila, yo tampoco me molestaré en escribirte más en español, de poco valdrá ya que tendrás que utilizar de nuevo el traductor para entender más de cuatro palabras seguidas de lo que digo.Leithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-9226976245644097402013-11-12T11:13:34.214+00:002013-11-12T11:13:34.214+00:00And you are a blind, deluded worshiper, so....And you are a blind, deluded worshiper, so....Primo Uomo Assolutonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-39183912734824712862013-11-12T03:32:42.815+00:002013-11-12T03:32:42.815+00:00No, I was just laughing, I found that bit quite fu...No, I was just laughing, I found that bit quite funny :)Macabrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-33876393412234992362013-11-10T09:20:04.803+00:002013-11-10T09:20:04.803+00:00I thought it was beautiful and lyrics are so hard ...I thought it was beautiful and lyrics are so hard hitting to my core.

That this basic ability is what he expects of any singer.<br />Nor that he was being sarcastic about those who claim that means, if you hold such a simple basic standard, this constitutes "being biased".<br />It of course doesn't mean you are "biased" in anybody's mind but indeed the minds of stans.<br /><br /><br /><br />And also, what a ridiculous argument to claim that having basic standards constitutes "bias" but actually forking over money for a single constitutes proof you are "unbiased". The logic in that statement is just completely lacking. If anything actually buying something demonstrates a favorable bias.Opie Ever2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-43849224734218210902013-11-07T19:30:29.834+00:002013-11-07T19:30:29.834+00:00Its like Nicolet is in a blind flury of emotions w...Its like Nicolet is in a blind flury of emotions when she's stating stuff here. And I hope she realizes all of what she said was utterly subjective at best. And that "why does everyone have to be technically able to do what he thinks they should" part really makes me question her process of thought. The technical stuff that Macabre was referring to was benignly basic. Knowing how to phrase, singing without vocal tension on simple lyrical passages, and a fluid legato are things so commonly overlooked by anyone who sings that when someone messes that up it is hard to notice. But the fact that it is coming off as her boosting this performance as some soprano tessitura gold, when in fact its utetly basic, is just saddening. I could see if Christina had vocal tension on a E5 or a F5 belt but not an A4. Then maybe Nicolet's logic could be a bit more justifiable. The fact that Christina stumbled on such a simplistic passage is all the proof that Nicolet should take a seat, calm down, and revaluate her previous judgements.Black Robinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-88448869191171226932013-11-07T17:56:47.137+00:002013-11-07T17:56:47.137+00:00No you are not "pointing out facts".No you are not "pointing out facts".Opie Ever2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-59508381875182784942013-11-07T17:55:41.010+00:002013-11-07T17:55:41.010+00:00LOL I don't think it was even understood what ...LOL I don't think it was even understood what the criticism was Falco.
