Um, Jeff, go choke on an AIDS-infected cock. If anything Anon. has hit the nail square on the head. This classless, talentless whore is nothing more than "Xtina" Aguilera, but with more cursing and more "edge". Sorry, but anyone who tries(and fails spectacularly at that)to rap, AND sing 50's era jazz and easy-listening music at the same damn time has ZERO talent and originality, so far as i'm concerned. If anything, she's yet another oppurtunity for snobbish, tone-deaf HIPSTERS such as yourself to look cool and "with it". Get yourself a brain, you tool.
