Wow, really? I never even considered the skin colour aspect. I also consider Dolly above any genre classification. She's iconic. Just thought that it would be a lovely tribute to Whitney, considering she wrote the words Whitney made famous.... If Jhud was asked by the family - OF COURSE she should do it.  I hear Chaka Khan will be involved also.....that's cool. (love her). I never thought about skin color. So I guess JH sang at MJ's funeral because she's black and it would be offensive if it were any other skin color ? Oh well - you live and you learn. :-/ No, it wouldn't be offensive. It might be offensive for a lone white Country music artist, who really has nothing to do with Whitney, to do a tribute one day after her death. Whitney is part of a community of people who have a long, far-reaching legacy in the area of music in the US. Now, if Dolly was Whitney's mentor or surrogate Grandmother for the last 20 years or something, it would make more sense. Or if Whitney's family asked Dolly. There needs to be some kind of connection to Whitney other than just being the writer of a song she sang. Jennifer's vocal stylings represent Whitneys. Jennifer represents Whitney's community. Jennifer has sung before Whitney before and Whitney adored her singing. Whitney's family ask Jennifer to do the last minute tribute. |

That is a gorgeous pic of Leila, Eber and BB Adam.  That Maxim Fuse thing looks cool!! (Is that a UK channel?) Sorry, but I thought the phrasing of the show summaries a little IDK, unbalanced ... Part 4 of 10. Flo Rida hosts a countdown of sizzling dance songs.FUSE Fri, Feb 17 1:00 PM Part 2 Part 2 of 10. Sizzling dance tracks are ranked. Gabe Saporta hosts.FUSE Fri, Feb 17 2:00 PM Part 3 Part 3 of 10. Dance songs are listed. Host: Adam Lambert.FUSE Fri, Feb 17 3:00 PM Gabe and Flo Rida get sizzling dances songs/tracks. Then there is: Dance songs are listed. Host: Adam Lambert <___< (um, we need a copywriter in here, stat!) Not a big deal. I'm sure they were just trying to vary the phrasing but it kind of cracked me up. |
