Justin Bieber ruins a perfectly good Michael Jackson sample
If you need a sign that teen idol Justin Bieber’s career is on the decline, you need only listen to the 18-year-old’s latest musical offering, entitled “Die In Your Arms”.
The single would be a complete travesty if it weren’t for the Michael Jackson sample.
Justin’s track dropped yesterday to much fanfare from one of MTV’s numerous Twitter accounts. One in particular, which is probably updated by a 12-year-old, said the single was “EVERYTHING,” and strongly suggested that we take a listen.
I had much hope for Justin as I heard the opening chords backed with the easily recognizable Jackson 5 vocal harmonies: “Uh huh, yeah yeah, alright.”
I had every Jackson 5 album and every Michael Jackson solo album when I was a kid. So I quickly recognized the sample of Michael Jackson’s “We’ve Got A Good Thing Going” as one that was in heavy rotation on my cheap record player back in the 1970s.
So, like I said, I had high hopes for the Beibster as the room filled with Uh huh’s, Yeah yeah‘s, and Alright‘s…. then Justin started singing.

I’m not a big Justin fan, but this song is easily one of the worst he has ever recorded.
Clearly, Justin has not made the necessary transition from child singer to mature vocalist the way his mentor, Usher Raymond — or even the young Michael Jackson did.
Justin’s golden voice laid an egg all over this Michael Jackson sample. Instead of taking out his frustrations on the paparazzi, maybe he should invest in a some vocal lessons.
I don’t see Justin winning any more Grammys or American Music Awards in the near future. And if he does, they were bought and paid for by the record label.

@ Mamacita
All you gotta do is just walk away and pass me by
Don’t acknowledge my smile when I try to say hello to you, yeah
And all you gotta do is not answer my calls when
I’m trying to get through
To keep me wondering why, when all I can do is sigh
I just wanna touch you
[Chorus]
I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside, inside and I
All I gotta say is that I must be dreaming, can’t be real
You’re not here with me, still I can feel you near me
I caress you, let you taste us, just so blissful listen
I would give you anything baby, just make my dreams come true
Oh baby you give me butterflies
[Chorus]
I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside, inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside, inside and I
If you would take my hand, baby I would show you
Guide you to the light babe
If you would be my love, baby I will love you, love you
‘Til the end of time
[Chorus]
I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside, inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside, inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside, inside and I

@FE, good morning!
Dear CD
In comes the winter breeze
That chills the air and drifts the snow
And I imagine kissing you under the mistletoe
When springtime makes its way here
Lilac blooms reminds me of the scent of your perfume
When summer burns with heat
I always get the hots for you
Go skinny dippin’ in the ocean where we used to do
When autumn sheds the leaves the trees are bare
When you’re not here it doesn’t feel the same
Now quit paging me….
@Naija
I implore you to remember where I’m from…ask Sandra she told ya what us hispanics believe in (see downstairs)

Pole dancing might become an Olympic sport? Really? Clappin dat ass for your country. Sounds beautiful. *sniffs and wipes away single tear*
I’m tired of ribbon dancing as a sport anyway. I would much rather see a bish turn upside down and slide down a pole with her left thigh while the right one is twerking.
Them King of Diamond bishes gonna surpass the competition and not only win the Gold Medal but the Platinum one!
And will the audience be able to make it rain?
And is baby oil a must?
I have so many questions?
Are the events gonna take place at Magic City?
Who is sponsoring these said Olympics?

@Fayla
hey hon!
ask Sandra she told ya what us hispanics believe in
i seen the little jab.. **licks SR green card** most i speak only for the messicans believe in the santa muerte..
@ YSO…A woman came up with the idea. They will have sponsors that will sponsor them and install a pole in their home for training.
@ Lakes…It does take a lot of upper body strength. I teach a pole/ dance exercise class and NO I have never been a stripper…well, for my man but does that count
gypsyeyes – I
the ribbon performance, as a former cheerleader, that’s one of my favs to watch. Along with synchronized swimming. 
@Down do I have to
you too? I thought we were better than that
@YSO they’re trying to get at my man like iheart or was it Hershey tried to come for your RDJ…the nerve
@DOWN
I see. I know how that is. Every week I have to fight for my Robert Downey Jr. But MY Bobby is worth it.

It’s been gentrified beyond recognition. It’s officially part of the “North Side”. You have to go south of 50th street to get Thug Certified these days. Or you can try a couple of the burbs. They are as bad as Cabrini was about 15 years ago. Good luck with that and your superfly socks.
