The "mature" fans are just mean... One pushed me when I was thirteen... *sniff*

Fergie is quality music? You're kidding... I think the world just exploded. Well... Yami's little world is safe... But the real one... definitely an earthquake or something...

Mare, have you noticed this trend among "those" types at LD?  They all love Fergie and Justin.  If we put up a poll on which song is better, Fergilicious or Climbing the Walls, I guarantee you all but one of the ones I hate would vote for Fergilicious.  Sabrinia would vote for CtW.

No, I know what you mean LOL.  Yay 11-year-olds!!  When an 11-year-old writes a story where the main character's name is Jinefer, and she kidnaps Nick and diagnoses his cancer, then it's sort of cute and endearing.  When a 28-year-old writes it... all in one paragraph and without spaces... it's just frightening.

Oh good... I was like, well gee, that sounded narcissitic.

I think the person who wrote it was nineteen at the time... Or in high school at least... So they're in their mid-twenties now, I think...

Oh gee, all those stories are in one paragraph... I'm like, don't you all even know what the "enter" key is? Honestly...

LOL yes, which is why I don't even bother anymore. It hurts my brain to think about it.

No, but if you crossed My Humps with Sexy Back, it would be the most amazing song in the history of music!!!!!!  I really think Justin and Fergie should collaborate... together, they could create a sound the likes of which have never been heard.  (And will never be heard again because anyone who hears it will suffer permanant hearing loss.)

I don't know, I think they both have a run for their money by Danity Kane and the Pussycat Dolls.... If you ever wanted to see a strip show for an opening act...  there's a good one to watch. ::)

Aren't they supposed to be BSB fans? Climbing the Wall is so much better.

Ahh, and THAT is the million dollar question.  One would THINK that on a Bsb board, there would be Bsb FANS who would like Bsb SONGS.

But that logic does not seem to apply over at LD.  God forbid you make that argument; you will get SHOT DOWN.
