I wasn't an Eminem fan, though I liked 8 Mile. What caught my attention was that he was electric. It wasn't an album promotion, but a poet giving a message that was really relevant to current events. I don't understand the line of reasoning behind the argument of him not singing "a song". First off, Eminem does not sing. He raps. And the performance may have fell flat with the Bush voters, but you can bet it had NOTHING to do with the talent of the artist or his actual performance. And it did what it was meant to do, and annoy those people. Which I find incredibly enjoyable because anyone who takes themselves so seriously that they get peeved about a two minute rap on late night TV deserves what's coming in my opinion. 708069@blogcritics.org Mon, 7 Apr 2008 04:45:02 EDT
