 i know, i thought the same thing. yet i began to realize the woman's 72yrs old. 
roberta flack back in the day, circa 1972, classic song "the first time ever i saw your face" 
in reality, someone should kick the hairballs out of hair designer's *ss for making roberta's hair look that bad. however aside from the wig she looks good for a woman of her age, and she still has a great singing voice.

I have said the following time and time again on this board. There is a somber sentiment in that song. She is letting him go, even though she does not want to. Dolly's version display's this perfectly. Whitney's version ruined that sentiment. I don't know about anybody else, but if someone is breaking up with me, the last thing that I would want them to do, would be to scream it from the rafters. Just because you can sing does not mean that you have to blow each and every song out of the water. well, okay. conversely, a song that contains an enraged sentiment like "you oughta know" probably shouldn't be sung smiling ansd without yelling, the way bey does it. Well, admittedly this song was waaaaay out of character for Bey. I guess she wants to show that she capable of doing other things. We all know that she is no Alanis. On the otherhand, unlike Taylor, she can hold a note. "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" |

Then use stilts to walk up and down the stage, while jumpiing off of them doing somersaults across the front aisle as flames shoot out the bottom of their shoes and airlifts them up to the ceiling, then back on stage, only to be shot out of a cannon straight through the front door of the venue, where they land on their ass.
By the way, I still feel traumatized after seeing Jamie Foxx's sister bumrush the stage doing a 90s new jack dance.

Seriously, there should b rules regarding madness like this. I would b so upset if someone sat n front of me with all that bullshit on their head. Words cannot describe how I really feel about her and looking at that ridiculous weird stupid outfit is crazy enough. Sad that someone is such a freakin stupid F___ attention getting whore. It pisses me off just seeing how rude her ass was 2 wear that madness and top it off blocking others view. The look on her face tells the real story Pink I Luv U.  Best performance of all Pink was wearing next to nothing swinging from a sex swing/trapeze pissing on everyone's formal wear and you're thinking that Gaga's hat was inconsiderate?!
thank god nobody showed up in assless pants | |

^I was just talking in general, everyone on here is suddenly calling her out and trying to say shes only popular cause of Jones or West, when the girl has been selling this cd steadly for the last year. Guess not using auto tune is a bad thing today. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |

true, she's very popular (and cute), I just didn't really think anyone was mistaking it for award-worthy music. Not that I have huge respect for the Grammys' integrity, but still I am a little surprised. She always struck me as teeny bopper music, not even trying to be serious. My Legacy

I hope that's not what people think her album been on that chart forever .. going into the Beginning Of 2009 that album was on top. I guess if you stay in one genre and don't expand your musical interests(not saying taylor swift is that much expanding just saying in general) I guess you would think kanye blew her up too lol. | |

I think what bothers people is not the fact that she one, but how she won. I kept thinking to myself, the fact she one that award just goes to show, the downward spiral that music is in. 10 years ago, Santana won for "Supernatural", a few years ago Steely Dan won for, "Two Against Nature", two great albums. Now, we have Taylor Swift, who is as safe as safe can be, when it comes to those nominated. It seems to me that the members of the Grammy board did not want to make an effort and listen to the material of each of the nominees. Again, they went with the safest choice.

I'm not saying she is horrible, but I find it hard to believe there wasn't a better popular album last year. My Legacy

So, not only are the record companies playing it safe by signing up people that "THEY" believe represent the record buying public but now the Grammy officials are following suit as well.

It's so hard for me wrap my head around the fact that Taylor Swift won album of the year. I guess I'm glad she didn't win for best feamle vocalist because she can't sing. |

What's going on with Roberta Flack's makeup?
It's like she cried some of it off then used her wig to clean her face off [Edited 1/31/10 23:38pm] See...this is why mediocre talent is celebrated! I don't mean you personally bboy87, I'm just using this to illustrate my point. I wouldn't have cared if Roberta Flack showed up in a nap sac with a lamp shade on her head. That woman has more talent and singing capability than everybody who won an award last night with the only exceptions probably being Michael Jackson and Mary J. Blidge! I've read not one comment about her performance and how amazing her VOICE STILL sounds after all these years. All I've seen are jokes about her wig and irrelevant stuff about her clothes and makeup. The greedy record industry execs aren't killing music all by themselves, they've got plenty of accomplices! . [Edited 2/1/10 6:56am] We love Roberta, Johnart and I are just joking around "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

I love Roberta's voice. I have a DVD of her performing live in Edmonton, Alberta in about 1975, and she finesses the piano too. | |
