I just want to say: awesome comparison.

I'm all for expression but I'm always skeptical about amateur abstract....

I could explain further but it's too early for my mind to work that hard.

hear, hear, LaBelle.

Art is science. There is a reason why some non-representation art works and why some fails.

Alternately, our greatest idols of abstract, non-representational, et al wera all classically trained in technique- Picasso, de Kooning, Mondrian, marisol, Pollack...

You haveto understand what you are defying before you defy it thoroughlly and successfully. That being said, their emotion is shown maddeningly because their skill is so great because technique and style are two different things that feed and starve each other.

"Technique is nothing but failed style"- Cecil B. Demented.

Okay, maybe dancing isn't my thing, but I am incredibly funny. In fact, though you have all seen this before, if you watch it and don't laugh. . . it doesn't matter. I know you laughted.

It's not iron will. It's sheer obstinance and pissiness.

Okay. YOU NEVER LOVED ME!!!

Anyway, did you know you can make money off of videos on YouTube. You sign up as a partner with your google adsense publisher ID. Some of you with hits could be making money.

I blogged about it, but of course you will say it is tacky.

And yet she wants entertaining us to be her job.

Maybe she should get a day job.

HO, SIT DOWN.

You have no talent or rhythm for actual dance.

HO, SIT DOWN.

Hell, the smallest credit (if any to be given) I could dole out is that you have enough sense to avoid Nemesis. It's like watching a 6-12 arts academy recital here only it's downright creepy when it's a 30 year old doing it.

Why are you turning ugly the whole thing? Is it because I didn't add your vid as a favorite? Because I would if you had a YouTube account.

Anyway, I meditate a lot. This whole thing is way to non detremental to anything. I don't even why you're so bent out-of-shape.

There is this song by Nirvana. You should listen to it. It goes like:

"I'm not the only one. Ooh I'm not the only one. Rate me. Rate me again. Rate me. Rate me my friends."

No...no.. no...

Nirvana weren't the greatest but I still put them as one of my favourite bands... and you just.. I'm all for a joke but that was not clever or funny.
Just no...

GET OUT!!!

Who the hell do you think you are and what do you think you are?

Funny?, 'cause you're not, by any stretch of the word. Now I'm all for people giving things a go, but these are not the things you should be going for! Stick to your financial advising because you are no dancer, comedian or star! You are not going to go anywhere with this and may the Maple Demon help us if you do. Why do you honestly think we're being so 'ugly', as you put it?

Because your not showing us anything that makes it worth our time to be 'beautiful' or even 'pretty' towards you and for the love of Aphrodite do not even attempt to show us something you think will change our minds.

I don't know why, but your little Nirvana stunt has broken this camel's back and I'm telling you to stop trying or get out of here, because in this world as I choose to view it, you are currently nothing but a sack of horse shit with delusions of grandeur.

So get off the fucking walk of stars and accept that your name will not be in cement any time soon unless you get hit by a car, or maybe a truck or even gored by bull and happen to die, and honestly there's no guarantee there'll be a tombstone.

I care enough about this (dancing that is) for you to royally piss me off but I want nothing to do with your take on it, so stop picking at my morbid curiosity with your hideous videos because they do not entertain.

I feel like I've gone in circles over this.

If you had my video as one of your favorites, I believe my cervix would flinch, make a small gasping sound, go fetal and die.

It is not even your lack of skill, you know? Your approach, your actions and then indignant (odd, as you seem to have no dignity) response to the reactions are utter otter shit. It's not humor, it's not skill. It's a sad tale and a sad heart to take it.

It's not a smirk nor a half smile, it is simply a thousand yard stare at an island where a atomic bomb should have descended from an aeroplaned heaven, fell to eath and landed- where a flash should have blinded us all and force torn the flesh from bone and yet there is silence, there are blank stares wondering what to fucking say when no words can dictate the sentiment properly of where an island should have been decimated and just... and staring at the failure.

You are a fame whore, and that is nothing at all.
