Maybe it's just me, but howling out that rape apologist anthem redqueen Aug 2013 #12

Yes. You have a definite point. hlthe2b Aug 2013 #14

The song is garbage BainsBane Aug 2013 #19

Oh no, I know you're not. redqueen Aug 2013 #20

That certainly was a key issue in the Janet Jackson-Timberlake thing BainsBane Aug 2013 #21

Perhaps what's causing the confusion is that they shared a stage. redqueen Aug 2013 #22

I agree that his song is much worse than a performance. WCLinolVir Aug 2013 #35

You must have missed the butt grinding part ismnotwasm Aug 2013 #15

I did see that BainsBane Aug 2013 #18

I blame generations of morons bleating out the "sex sells!" mantra. nt redqueen Aug 2013 #16

My criticism of her is that she's just plain awful BainsBane Aug 2013 #32

Same way Janet Jackson got slut shamed for showing a nipple ring when Warpy Aug 2013 #26

They both looked dumber than a bag of hammers. but, I don't totally don't care - Tuesday Afternoon Aug 2013 #28

Both of them looked funny as hell to me. I laughed at the whole thing - Tuesday Afternoon Aug 2013 #33
