myboyblue Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 do you think there's anything remarkable or distinctive about Norah Jones? there's not she's awfulIt has very little to do with your opinion on Norah Jones. It's your opinion on "so many female singers" Maybe you aren't Norah's target audience? Hardwood floor never had an extreme opinion that he didn't feel a need to spew.

owl Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 stupid me, having opinions on a message board that's never happened before You're right. We should not be surprised when people say douchy things on a message board. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hardwood floor Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 You're right.

owl Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 calling norah jones a boring no-talent hack is "douchy?" what world do you live in? if she weren't hot, nobody would pay attention to her Sorry. I guess I should've been clearer. What you said wasn't douchy, it's your behavior that is douchy. But you're right. You are not the first to make the wrongful assumption that fans of a musician are interested in your subjective dismissal of someone they like. Yes, your contribution is just as valid as that of anyone else who has dismissed an at least moderately talented musician as "no-talent". You have now joined an elite club. And, for the record, I don't care at all about Norah Jones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
