i live in a college dorm and everybody was watching it for tswift.
That’s what college kids are listening to?? That is so unbelievable depressing…I guess at 26 I am an old fart lol.
oooooh so your the dumbies that think Swift can ‘sing’? … no wonder
well, i’m not really a member of the taylor swift fan club. however, i’m not a hater like you guys. she obviously has a nice voice, it just doesn’t have a big range and a lot of power. her songs don’t really need that, though. they are written well (by her, might i add) and she’s getting a lot further in life than you can ever even dream of. she seems like a sweet girl, and she deserves all her success.
100% Gaga effect.
totally
Jennifer Hudson is nothing special. And she’s a rich, famous person who hates gay people. Think about that.
o_O
Jennifer Hudson’s best friend is gay. Get your facts right. And since she’s half way there to being an EGOT owner, someone out there thinks she’s very special, myself included.
