    I wonder how bad she feels today

    I wonder if she was your sister if you would be kinder, more loving, more compassionate, more forgiving

    I look forward to a day when we all treat each other in a loving positive way

    the negativity is holding us back


    my energy crystals are going fucking haywire right now.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    i don't think wanting someone to perform the song as it was intended, to honor our country and the people who fought for our independence is too much to ask. i'm sure she feels horrible but she did a terrible job. is it forgiveable, yes probably but doesn't mean we should just shrug it off either. i think even she would say she is better than that performance.

    I'm sure Christina could care less about her performance.

    are you saying she cares or doesn't? cos that sentence above is worse than her singing.

    Pandora.. i'm not doubting her ability to sing but what i watched and heard last night was brutal... her voice was all over the place and she kept doing that really really shit thing of trying to shove in as many octave range changes as she possibly could. that horrible boyband kind of raising and lowering pitches for absolutely no reason.

    it was just screaming and yelling and high squealing.
    you miss the idea behind my post Dunk

    I'm not sure that the point was? Is it that we are all beautiful?

    I know you have a good heart and all that Pandora... but you are what you are... and people like me are what we are... but i have never felt that negativity was holding me back... other than that time i wore armour at a magnet museum.

    Shrug it off...why not? I mean really, all this finding fault is a power trip I fear
    what good comes from it? Just being critical thats all.
    It is hurtful and negative and utterly useless and habit forming and contagious

    but so is positivity
    lets try that for awhile
    everybody start a thread pointing out something beautiful, something right in the world,
    something nice... nice is really nice, it makes you feel good, the better you feel the better those you come into contact with will feel.

    I watched the same show..I heard what you heard also but why should I publicly tear this woman up?
    She has feelings and she knows what she did was less than perfect.
    Have a heart...

    Christina has a beautiful deep voice thats why I like her so much. She's lovely.
    A young Mom, a sweet sexy girl.

    I think she picked the wrong key...should have lowered it a little where her voice is strong and
    doesn't seem scream-y which can be a common problem when belting that song out.

    I actually liked it better than Lea Michele's America the Beautiful but then I am a fan of Christina's
    and not of Glee's


    a young mom doesnt come in to it? It's like me saying "ohhh leave Jeffrey Dahmer alone, he was a fine cartoonist"

    I'm not negative about your thread...pointing out it could be said more positively
    instead of being mean and thoughtless of this little ladies feelings
    if she read it I think she would be hurt...more than she is already hurting this morning
    performers are people too
    I also think in the name of humor people get hurt...cause someone is getting their jollies

    think twice be nice that is all :D

    but if everyone was to be nice on all the threads it would be utterly boring... it would just be like visiting a forum where everyone was sycophantic and gushing about a certain topic... The Porch for instance... that kinda forum? the place where, even after being told their membership is going up to $250, people will still comment with "OMG! It is so worth it... this band rocks! thank you 10C"

    I'll try and be positive... Boy George should have had his skin removed and then been made to sit in a bath of salt for trying to show us all his 'acting' ability on the A-Team.

    ok Pandora... that was genuinely positive... normally i would have said he should have been killed via a yacht to the face.

    It's not all about you in this world...
    we have a responsibility to not hurt each other.

    I realize your humor and sarcasm is important to who you are
    but it hurts sometimes
    that is all I'm pointing out to you.

    If this performer read the things you said for a laugh it would hurt.

    You have the power to be positive with your humor which is a gift by the way
    a gift that many people do not have.

    Humor is uplifting, helps us forget our worries, makes the world a better place.
    When it is negative or sarcastic it trashes and hurts.

    I've made my point or tried to and as usual everything just goes round and round

    but the thing is in this life 'we reap what we sow'
    and 'what goes around comes around'.
    Words to remember words to live by :D
